| Description of the problem | 2010 subaru outback 2. 5i premium, purchased 3/23/10. When my wife, who weighs 130 pounds, sits in the front passenger seat, most of the time the airbag light says "off", only occasionally and unpredictably does it say "on". I have had the vehicle in for service several times. The sensor was recalibrated, and the seat bottom was replaced. Both the dealership and subaru of america say the system is operating as designed. I say i paid for an airbag that works and i want an airbag that works. |
