2009 Subaru OUTBACK Air Bags Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1153069
Internal NHTSA #	10679625
Manufacurer	Subaru of America, Inc.
Brand	SUBARU
Model	OUTBACK
Model Year	2009
File date	16/01/12
Component	AIR BAGS
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Problem 1: experienced rear wiper (station wagon) not working. Car still under warranty, took it to the dealer and was told the wiring harness that goes through the hinge area was broken. It was repaired. Now the car has 72,000 miles and i am having rear wiper problems again as well as the rear door not locking. Wires frayed and broken again. This is a known issue both with subaru and on the forums on the web. This is a poor design and possibly dangerous as it can cause the rear lights to fail. Failure time frame was almost double mileage from the previous failure. (35,251 - 72,000). Problem 2: air bag light keeps coming on. Have had it to the mechanic several times to be checked out and reset. This is also a known problem with subaru and on the web forums. This is a serious safety issue as the air bags could fail to deploy. Subaru may say the airbags are a "secondary" safety feature, but to me they are extremely important. Airbag deployment can be the difference between life and death in an accident. Please investigate!
