2007 Subaru OUTBACK Electrical System Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1161562
Internal NHTSA #	10690760
Manufacurer	Subaru of America, Inc.
Brand	SUBARU
Model	OUTBACK
Model Year	2007
File date	01/05/14
Component	ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Dashboard airbag light turned on. Airbag safety system is subsequently disabled, even in the event of an accident. Source of problem is traced back to indicator light in the over head console. The warning lights do not light up as they should. The passenger seat belt or off lights do not appear when they should sometimes they are dim and resolve with a light tap or change in ambient temperature. Brief internet search reveals this is common and is the result of faulty solder in the overhead console. Dealership advises replace the entire console at owner expense. Part costs $130, labor is even more. I am not an electrical engineer and have no idea if solders should fail at 8 years. This particular solder is an integral part of the airbag system and renders the vehicle unsafe to drive. Subaru should remedy this with a recall or at least reimburse my cost. I will provide the dealership with a copy of this report.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.

Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
