| Description of the problem | I bought the 2007 subaru outback ll bean new. This is the second time that the airbag light goes on and off intermittently. The first time i replaced the overhead circuit board. This time i am having trouble finding one. The solder joints in the circuit board are faulty, causing loose connections. This is a dangerous situation that has been reported to nhtsa many times by other owners. When the air bag light is on, the air bags will not deploy. Some people have been seriously injured because of this. There should be a recall on this problem. There is currently a second recall on the air bags themselves, but not on the circuit board. How many accidents does there have to be for you to demand a recall on this problem? |
