CarComplaints.com Notes: A relatively dependable vehicle that handles well in bad weather, but increasing concerns about turbo failure in the GT probably means you should look elsewhere if you want a car with a little pep in its step.

About These NHTSA Complaints:
This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The contact owns a 2005 Subaru Legacy GT purchased in 2009. The passenger side air bag would not operate with an occupant in the passenger's side seat. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and they were unable to make repairs to correct failure. There were no recalls on the year, make and model for frontal airbags, only side and window airbags. The current and failure mileages were under 62,793. Updated 01/29/10. Updated 01/29/10.
2005 Subaru Legacy GT passenger seat belt sensor is not functioning correctly. The seat belt warning light and chime comes on after driving about 7 miles with no one in the seat or anything sitting on the seat. It seams to be worse in the winter than in the summer. The reno dealer has 'calibrated' it at least twice and several times the service advisor said try putting the back of the seat more vertical and that should fix the problem (it did not). I E-mailed Subaru support and was told that the problem does appear to be a normal operation of the vehicle. I was given the option to perform a procedure to permanently disable this warning chime, which I do not want to do.
