Air bag Passenger light on and blinking.

- Twentynine Palms , CA, USA

my air bags didn't deploy when I hit a tree, and the seat belt gave loose. A police report was filed, and the car was evaluated by a collision center. The insurance company has not yet evaluated the vehicle. The air bag indicator light indicated the air bags were in good working order. I slid off the road in snow and hit a tree dead on and my entire front end crumpled, but my air bags didn't deploy and my seat belt was fully extended when I exited the vehicle to get into the ambulance.

The ODS in our 2014 Subaru Outback has failed, and there is a constant beeping indicating that the air bag system is not functioning properly. This was definitely an issue the last two winters, too, but with covid quarantine and illness, we were not able to address it then. The airbag warning lights and sounds persist whether the seat is unoccupied or occupied by a child (14 or 16) or adult. The dealer has diagnosed that the passenger seatbelt switch is also not working properly. Their recommended remedy is replacing the entire seat base (~$1,300). This vehicle also had a recall of the passenger side airbag inflator, which was replaced in May 2019 when our mileage was 88,000. The issue started when weather turned cold in the winter of 2019. When it is below about 45 degrees, the beeping starts, and it only ceases when the vehicle is warmed up and the engine is turned off then on again. Our temperatures here in Eastern Washington get up to 115 in summer and down to 10 in winter. We are thinking that this ODS defect may be due to a loosening of the components during the airbag service or the exact same faulty ODS component that was recalled in the Subaru Forrester recall (NHTSA campaign number 19V701). It is important to us to have a functional airbag in case of a crash.

Over the last year, this vehicle has had two distinct takata airbag recalls. I have received notices from our dealership and from Subaru corporate, attached. I am living in bosnia as a us diplomat. There is not a Subaru dealership in this country. I accomplished the last recall, with significant logistical difficulty, with the help of the Subaru dealership in croatia. However, there is a current open recall for the passenger-side airbag (recall id btm3-efx). Despite multiple emails to the dealer (byer Subaru in alexandria, va) where we purchased the car and to my contacts in croatia, I have not received any assistance. The dealership in croatia was, supposedly, contacting Subaru italia, but to date, I have not made any progress in resolving this recall. I very much need guidance as this is a family car and, according to the recall notices, this is a significant safety issue. When I contacted Subaru corporate in the past, I was advised that, because the car was overseas, they believed they were absolved of any responsibility, a ridiculous claim.

Turning at low speed, airbag spontaneously deployed.

- Portland, OR, USA

I was driving at about 65 miles/hour on highway 17 near apalachin, NY, when a deer jumped from the right side and hit the front of my car. Both front airbags deployed. Immediately, the gas released from the airbags completely fogged the windshield reducing visibility zero, so I could not see where I was going during the braking period. Fortunately, I only shifted to the other line and there were no other cars around. The gas deposit remained on the windshield and I had to use a cloth to clean it. In my opinion, the fogged windshield resulting from the airbag deployment was a much higher safety hazard than the collision with the deer itself. An unrelated complaint is that after the car stopped, the doors were blocked (would not open) for half a minute or so.

As part of the takata recall, we had the airbags on our 2014 Subaru Outback replaced by the dealer on May 8, 2019. On May 22, 2019, we were sitting at a city stoplight when we were hit head on by another driver going 40-50 mph. In spite of a direct hit to the front airbag sensors, the airbags did not deploy on our 2014 Subaru Outback. When we notified the dealer who did the replacement of the failed airbags, they refused to comment.

- Missoula, MT, USA

Passenger airbag light and warning tone sound when occupant is in seat and car is moving. Been to the dealer 6 times. The seat belt latch was replaced, occupant detection sensor replaced, seat was replaced. Sensors recalibrated by dealer. Problem still persists and we're now told it can't be fixed. Dealer will not say if the airbags will or will not deploy in an accident. Car is essentially undriveable as the warning tone is constant and passenger restraint and safety system is compromised.
