| Description of the problem | Occupant sensing airbag won't turn on for my wife who weighs 110 pounds. This is a new 2011 subaru outback. The dealership argued and was evasive about my complaint; and said the seat was calibrated to activate with a 120 pound person. They were "instructing" me on the proper seating position. I told them i didn't want the vehicle if the air bag wouldn't operate for my wife. I have an appt. This week . Stay tuned. |
