| Description of the problem | My seat belt warning light on the dashboard was coming on intermittently but usually went off if i turned the engine off and restarted it. But now it's on constantly. The dealer says it's a malfunction involving the passenger seat belt apparatus and it's not cover under the extended warranty. The cost of the repair is estimate to be over $350. I see online that many people have this problem with the 2005-2009 outbacks. The mechanism is obviously defective and should be recalled. |
