I had owned the car for not even a year yet back in 2012, and the only accident I've ever been in happened on my way to school(college). The air bag did not come out of the steering wheel, but should have. Luckily I only experienced mild whip lash, and very large body shop bill. Also when they finally brought me in to get it replaced this past summer(2017) they pushed my car around the lot, and messed up my transmission amongst some other things. But when I asked the technicians about it, they got defensive, and denied any claim of wrong doing.

I called the Subaru dealer in newark, de (matt slap) to have the recall done on my car. I have called three times in over three months and they still haven't scheduled or called me back to have the recall done. I feel that 3+ months is plenty of time to get the parts needed to do the job but, their excuse is always "we don't have the parts".

Taka recall. Received recall notice in February. No further communication. Called local Subaru dealer. They have no idea when parts will be in. Called the phone number on the notice (800-782-2783). No option at all to speak with anyone. Called auto safety hotline. The rep tried calling the same number and had the same results. The rep gave me the phone number of office of traffic safety, region 8, 303-757-9381. Busy signal for hours. Someone needs to take responsibility for T his safety hazard. I'm surprised that Subaru is not communicating, and actually blocked communication about the issue. I'm getting nowhere, and in the meantime my car could be a death trap.

Takata inflators: The manufacturer is taking a long time to fix this serious safety problem. I got my notice in February 2016, and it is now April and I have not been notified that the dealers have parts to fix my vehicle. This is too long.

- Needmore, PA, USA

Subaru issued a recall on the 2005-2008 Legacy and outback due to an inflator in the front passenger air bag needing to be replaced. For free. Fine....there is a shortage of parts and we are expected, and I quote to "not allow passengers to ride in the front passenger seat" this is a safety hazard it says in all caps and "in the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the front passenger air bag, the inflator could rupture with metal fragments striking vehicle occupants and potentially causing serious injury or death." My local dealership said it could be a year before we are in line to receive parts. Could cause death to sit in the front seat. Why are we not given loaner cars" how is there a shortage of an inflator? this is unacceptable and a potential for death to myself and riders"

Trying to set up an appointment for a recall

- Poughkeepsie, NY, USA

Takata recall I contacted not one, but all of my local Subaru dealers in the first week of January to find out which had the shortest wait time for the recall, which they told me was 2 weeks. When I called back 3 weeks later, they told me it was backordered and "don't call us, we'll call you." It is now 5 weeks after that, I've been told by Subaru that there's no date for when the parts will be in, and my car is unsafe to drive. I have a job; if I can't drive my car, then I need a rental provided to me in the mean time, free of charge. Leaving people for an indeterminate period of time with an unsafe vehicle and no alternative is unconscionable.

Takata recall: I'm writing to complain about Subaru's handling of the takata inflators. I called my local dealer today to set up an appointment to remedy the passenger airbag problem and was told there would be a delay of 2-3 months before Subaru will have the fix available. The email I had received stated that I should not let anyone use the front passenger set during that time. That is unrealistic. Then when I went to this website to file a complaint about the delay, I noticed that as of a few days ago, the driver side airbag is also being recalled. If this means no one can drive the car for 2-3 months, this is even worse than the original problem. My suggestion would be that Subaru give me a car to use for 3 months, until they can fix both airbag problems. Thanks for any action you can take with these problems.

I rec'd notification that the front passenger air bag inflator needs to be replaced, but the parts aren't currently available. In the meantime, I was advised to not let a passenger sit in the front. That's a difficult advisory with which to comply. Can't the front passenger air bag inflator be de-activated for the time being" has this possibility been considered" I've also written to Subaru about this situation. Thanks, joe

- Carney , OK, USA

: the contact stated while driving the vehicle was hit on the front passenger side, near the bumper and wheel. The other vehicle impacted the vehicle at 40 mph. The airbags did not deploy and the engine did not shut off. The manufacturer determined due to the angle of impact the airbags should not deploy. The contact was wearing a seatbelt, but sustained whiplash. There was a police report taken at the scene. The vehicle was towed to the dealership.
