2010 Subaru OUTBACK Air Bags Problems, Complaints and Defects

Description of the problem	The incident involves a 2010 subaru outback and deals with srs airbag system. We will be driving down the road with a person in the passenger seat and the passenger airbag is on. Then all of a sudden the passenger airbag will shut off. Then the srs airbag system warning light on the dash will come on. Reading the owners manual there is a malfunction in the airbag system and it may not function correctly. We are suppose to take it to a dealer immediately but everytime it has occurred we have not been close to a dealer or they are closed. We have owned the car for 9 months and it has occurred 5 or 6 times so far. The issue has always seemed to go away when it is shut off and sets overnight. The computer has never recorded a error code until this last time. The error code that the dealer retrieved was code 29 ods fault. They checked out the airbag components and system and everything checked out ok. They opened a case with the tech line and all they seem to want to do at this time is continue to monitor the situation. I have reported the problem and my concerns with the safety of the car to subaru customer service several times and it is be handled by a senior rep. My understanding is that subaru switched from a weight sensor to a gel pack in the passenger seat. I am aware of one other 2010 outback that has had a similar problem but not sure if it was resolved yet or not.
