As of May 2 I have not heard back, and SRS airbag system is not working.Ĭ ® is an online automotive complaint resource that uses graphs to show automotive defect patterns, based on complaint data submitted by visitors to the site. I called the dealership on April 24 and they were going to escalate the part order and get back to me. Now the SRS airbag system needs to be check indicator is on all the time, regardless if a passenger is in the seat or not. I have called the dealership again numerous times, and part is still on backorder. The random SRS warning indicator when passenger was in the front seat and hitting a bump started reoccurring again. The SRS airbag system worked fine and no problem until the end of Feb, 2018. 3 after not hearing from dealer, I called to see why service not completed yet, and was told part was still on back order, should be in sometime in Dec. they said part would be in and I dropped vehicle off for scheduled service for Oct. I didn't hear back from dealership, so called them on Oct. 9, they said they ordered part and would call me when part arrived. System would reset when vehicle was restarted, but would occasionally duplicate the problem. 2017, occasionally when a passenger was in the front seat and vehicle hit a bump, the SRS showed warning indicator and passenger airbag turned off. The dealership ordered replacement part which has been on back order since Sept. SRS airbag system needs to be checked light is on and passage air bag off indicator shows off. Is a recall in order? the consumer stated the manufacturer offered a new vehicle as a settlement. How this potential problem is dealt with is also a concern. I want to be certain that the ntsb is aware that there may be a problem with Subaru airbags in the 2017 Forester. Called 2 weeks ago with the response that they were waiting for a new airbag. This resulted in a rental car which I have had for 7 weeks. I therefore requested written certification of the safety of the passenger seat regarding the airbag. I could drive the car in the interim including with a passenger. They indicated a sensor failure and that the part would take about a month to obtain.

This resulted in their specialist reviewing their code reading again. Took it back to dealer held for a couple of days and told a specialist in codes indicated that it was due to usb cell phone wire. Told it was due to a cellphone on the seat. Taken to dealer they found a code verifying the complaint. Once lit it remained so until 2 or 3 new restarts. It occurred both in motion and while the vehicle was not in motion. This did not occur immediately on seating of the passenger and was sporadic. Less than one year after purchase of a new 2017 Subaru Forester I noted periodically the passenger airbag failure light would turn on and stay on when a passenger was in the passenger seat. As of today 10/18/18 Subaru as not corrected the issue. Corporate Subaru personnel have also contacted me concerned about this issue. My vehicle has been at the dealer since and I am still waiting for the part which they keep calling me and telling me it is on backorder. Two days later they told me it was a national back order on the part.

They said it would take 2 days to get the part. The service advisor then spoke to a manager and they then informed me that the problem was the airbag sensor in the seat. I insisted however that my seat was never wet nor stained. The dealer claimed that my problem was caused by a stain on my seat, they claimed the mechanic cleaned the seat and they were going to release the vehicle to me. When this occurred the vehicle was in motion every time. The light would randomly come on advising me that the passenger seat airbag was not on.

None of those things have caused the malfunction light to go on in my vehicle. When I took the vehicle to the dealer they first advised me that the airbag light was do to the seat being wet, placing a cell phone or lap top on the seat. Two alerts show up in different areas on the dash lights indicating a problem with the passenger air bag advising to have it check immediately by the dealer. The passenger airbag will stop working while the passenger is seated in the front passenger seat.
