2010 SUBARU FORESTER Air Bags Problems

Had a collision with another vehicle and my airbags never deployed. The other vehicles airbags did deploy.

Subaru of America refuses to authorize dealer Beyer Subaru of Alexandria Virginia to do the stipulated safety repair

On 5/24/2023 while driving with a front passenger, the passenger seat belt warning light, chime and airbag warning came on for no reason. Stopped the car at a red traffic light and turned ignition off and then on to hopefully clear the warning. There was no power to any system. The ignition switch did not work and I could not get the transmission out of park to push the car off the road. Could not activated anything on the dash including the hazard warning. Being in a single lane road, traffic was traveling around us on both sides. We could have been rear ended. I opened the driver's door and all power to the dash came back. It took 4 attempts to start before the engine started. All settings and radio had to be reprogrammed. Stopped at the dealer and they ask if this was the first occurence. (It was) They said if it happened again to bring the car in. The car has been normal since.

I BROUGHT THIS VEHICLE INTO A SUBARU DEALERSHIP FOR THE AIRBAG RECALL. APPARENTLY THEY DIDN'T DO IT OR FAILED TO REGISTER THAT THEY DID THE WORK, AS I AM RECEIVING MAIL INDICATING THAT THE REPAIR NEEDS TO BE DONE. *TR

GALLATIN SUBARU IN BOZEMAN MONTANA REFUSES TO DO THE RECALL REPAIR ON THE AIR BAG BECAUSE I HAD A MOUSE TRAP IN MY VEHICLE. THE MANAGER REFUSED TO LET ME RECORD WHY THEY WOULD NOT IN THE END I DID SAY GREAT YOU ARE WILLING TO RISK MY F-ING LIFE IN THE PAST WE HAVE PURCHASED 3 NEW VEHICLES FROM THEM. THEY NOW HAVE ON FILE DO NOT WORK ON MY VEHICLE OR ALLOWED ON THE PROPERTY. PERSONALLY I DO NOT WANT THEM TO WORK ON MY VEHICLE NOW.

NHTSA RECALL NO 14V-830 (BRAKE LINES) AND RECALL TKC19 (PASSENGER AIR BAGS) DAVE WRIGHT SUBARU WILL NOT RETURN CALLS FOR ME TO SCHEDULE REPAIRS FOR THE BRAKE LINE RECALL

TAKATA RECALL. TODAY IS 23 MARCH 2019. THE FIRST DATE FOR A SERVICE APPOIONTMENT FOR A TAKATA BAG RECALL IS IN OCTOBER 2019. IS A 7 MONTH REPAIR DELAY ACCEPTABLE? THE MANUFACTURER RECOMMENDS NOT USING THE PASSENGER SEAT IN THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. 7 MONTHS IS A LONG TIME TO PUT ME OR MY WIFE IN THE REAR SEAT.

Mileage: 105,000

TAKATA RECALL SUBARU HAS SAID IT WILL BE AT LEAST 3 MONTHS BEFORE THEY WILL HAVE THE PARTS TO REPLACE MY AIRBAG, AND IN THE MEANTIME NO ONE SHOULD RIDE IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. WHEN I COMPLAINED ABOUT THE LONG WAIT, SUBARU OF AMERICA SAID I SHOULD ASK FOR A LOANER, WHICH MY LOCAL SUBARU DEALER IS UNABLE TO DO. I NEED TO BE ABLE TO USE MY FRONT PASSENGER SEAT TO FIT EVERYONE IN. I DON'T THINK I SHOULD HAVE TO WAIT THREE MONTHS.

TAKATA RECALL - SUBARU USA IS NOT ABLE/WILLING TO RESPOND IN A TIMELY FASHION TO AIRBAG RECALL. 3 DEALERS CALLED ALL HAD A LEAST A 4 WEEK WAIT TO FIX RECALL. LETTER STATES NO-ONE SHOULD RIDE IN THE FRONT SEAT. NO LOANERS OFFERED IN THE MEANWHILE.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

TAKATA RECALL. I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE IN THE MAIL WITH INSTRUCTIONS ON GETTING THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG REPLACED. THE NOTICE SPECIFICALLY STATES IN BOLD LETTERS "UNTIL THIS REPAIR IS PERFORMED, DO NOT ALLOW PASSENGERS TO RIDE IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT". WHEN I CONTACTED THE MY SUBARU DEALER, MINOOKA SUBARU, THE FIRST APPOINTMENT I COULD GET WAS FRIDAY JUNE 8, 2018. THAT IS 7 WEEKS AWAY ! THAT IS AN UNREASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME TO COMPLETE THE REPAIR, IF I HAVE TO TRANSPORT 5 PASSENGERS IN MY CAR (MY WIFE AND GRANDCHILDREN, I'LL HAVE TO TAKE TWO CARS ! AGAIN THAT IS UNREASONABLE.

TAKATA RECALL, THE CAR WAS DRIVING AND HIT A PARKED CAR IN THE CITY, AND THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED TO THE SIZE OF A SOCCER BALL, POPPED, AND JUST SAT THERE. THE CURTAIN NEVER OPENED OR CAME DOWN.THE AIRBAG NEVER REACHED MY FACE NOR DID IT DO ANYTHING FOR ME. I RECEIVED SEVERAL INJURIES BECAUSE OF IT.

TAMARA RECALL: I RECENTLY CALLED A NEARBY DEALERSHIP IN ATLANTA GA ABOUT RECEIVING A NOTICE ABOUT THE AIRBAG RECALL. I GAVE THEM MY VIN BUT THEY SAID THAT MY PARTICULAR CAR DOES NOT HAVE AN ACTIVE RECALL FOR THE AIRBAG. HOWEVER, WHEN I CHECK ONLINE AT AIRBAGRECALL.COM, I HAVE THE RECALL LISTED. THE DEALERSHIP SAID INSTEAD, I HAVE A BRAKE LINE CORROSION UP FOR RECALL. I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THIS IS TRUE.

I HAVE RECEIVED NOTICE FROM THE LEGAL ACTION THAT MY VEHICLE IS AFFECTED BY THE TANAKA AIRBAG RECALL. HOWEVER, ON MY VIN SEARCH I DO NOT SEE THE NOTIFICATION FOR A RECALL AND I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANYTHING FROM THE MANUFACTURER IN THE MAIL. PLEASE ADVISE.

TAKATA RECALL BUT SUBARU DENIES THIS.

"TAKATA RECALL" NOTHING HAS HAPPENED YET.

I WAS CONTACTED BY AN ATTORNEY REGARDING MY AIRBAGS BEING ASSOCIATED WITH TAKATA AIRBAGS THAT WERE INSTALLED IN THIS VEHICLE BEING ASSOCIATED WITH PROBLEMS LEADING TO DEATH? HOWEVER MY SUBARU DEALERSHIP IS STATING THAT THERE IS NO CURRENT RECALL FOR MY AIRBAG? I HAVE A CHILD AND DO NOT WANT TO PUT HER LIFE IN JEPRODY? WHAT SHOULD I DO?

TAKATA RECALL: 2 MONTHS AGO PURCHASED A USED 2010 SUBARU FORESTER FROM OR, I LIVE IN GA. AFTER CONTACTING SUBARU USA, THEY SAID I WOULD GET A RECALL LETTER 1/2018; I FEEL SINCE I LIVE IN ZONE 1, I SHOULD BE MOVED UP FOR AN AIR BAG REPLACEMENT. DO I HAVE ANY RECOURSE?

THE AIRBAG TENSION PENS BROKE AT 31,583 MILES, REQUIRING A REPLACEMENT OF THE AIRBAG MODULE AT. AFTER PRESSING ON THE HORN, THE HORN REMAINED ENGAGED. I REMOVED THE FUSE, TOOK THE CAR TO DON BEYER SUBARU IN ALEXANDRIA, VIRGINIA AND WAS INFORMED THE AIRBAG TENSION PENS HAD BROKEN. SUBARU OF AMERICA WILL NOT CLASSIFY THIS AS A COVERED REPAIR - EVEN UNDER THEIR GOLD PLUS WARRANTY PLAN. I FIND IT TROUBLING THAT 2 CRITICAL SAFETY MECHANISMS (HORN AND DRIVER'S FRONT AIR BAG) CAN BE SO EASILY COMPROMISED WITH NO CONCERN FROM SUBARU OF AMERICA.

TAKATA RECALL - I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL LETTER IN THE MAIL IN JULY 2016 INFORMING ME OF THE RECALL OF THE AIRBAGS IN THE PASSENGER FRONT SEAT AND "UNTIL THIS REPAIR IS PERFORMED, DO NOT ALLOW PASSENGERS TO RIDE IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT." IT HAS BEEN 6 MONTHS NOW THAT I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO USE MY CAR AS INTENDED. I HAVE EMAILED THE NHTSA 3 MONTHS AGO EXPLAINING MY FRUSTRATION WITH THE LACK OF SPEED FROM SUBARU TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE WAITED 6 MONTHS NOW AND STILL HAVE HAD NO WORD FROM ANYONE AS TO WHEN I CAN EXPECT THIS TO BE REMEDIED. I EXPECT SOME KIND OF COMMUNICATION BACK EXPLAINING THE PROCESS OF GETTING MY CAR BACK TO THE WAY I EXPECTED TO DRIVE IT WHEN I BOUGHT IT IN THE FIRST PLACE. 6 MONTHS OF NOT BEING ABLE TO USE MY CAR AS INTENDED IS RIDICULOUS AND I WILL TAKE FURTHER ACTION IF THIS IS NOT RESOLVED A.S.A.P.

TAKATA RECALL IN JUNE 2016 WE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE, NHTSA CAMPAIGN: 16V358000, REGARDING THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAGS. WE HAVE NOT YET BEEN INFORMED WHEN PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE. WE HAVE CALLED THE DEALER AND HAVE WRITTEN TO THE MANUFACTURER WITHOUT SUCCESS. SEE ATTACHED REPLY FROM SUBARU. WE LIVE IN ZONE A AND ARE CONCERNED ABOUT BEING ABLE TO USE THE CAR SAFELY.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 SUBARU FORESTER. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V358000 (AIR BAGS). THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME FRAME TO SCHEDULE THE RECALL REPAIR. THE DEALER DID NOT GIVE A SPECIFIC DATE FOR WHEN THE PART WOULD BECOME AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD BE REPAIRED. THE DEALER MENTIONED THAT THE PART WAS TO BE ORDERED IN OCTOBER OF 2016.

THE MANUFACTURER COULD NOT PROVIDE AN ESTIMATED DATE FOR WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD RECEIVE THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT WAS NOT EXPERIENCING A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

TAKATA RECALL -- REPAIR DELAYS -- HOW WORRIED SHOULD I BE? MY 2010 SUBARU FORESTER IS SUBJECT TO THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL FOR ITS FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG. MY SUBARU WAS PURCHASED NEW IN CALIFORNIA IN AUGUST 2010; IT IS REGISTERED IN CALIFORNIA; AND I HAVE DRIVEN IT EXCLUSIVELY IN THE SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA, EXCEPT FOR A WEEK-LONG TRIP TO SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA IN JULY 2014. ACCORDING TO YOUR "AMENDED ANNEX A", MY VEHICLE APPEARS TO BE IN PRIORITY GROUP 6 FOR THE RECALL; I CONFESS I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG THAT MEANS IT MAY TAKE BEFORE MY CAR GETS REPAIRED. MY LOCAL SUBARU DEALER HAS TOLD ME I SHOULD CONTACT THEM IN THE SECOND HALF OF JANUARY 2017 FOR FURTHER NEWS AS TO WHEN THE REPLACEMENT PARTS WILL BE READY FOR MY VEHICLE. THEY HAD PREVIOUSLY TOLD ME THEY WOULD HAVE THE PARTS IN NOVEMBER, AND FOR ALL I KNOW, THEY MAY DELAY THINGS FURTHER WHEN I CONTACT THEM IN JANUARY. IN THE MEANTIME, I HAVE BEEN ADVISED VIA MATERIAL FROM SUBARU THAT I SHOULD NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT UNTIL THE RECALL WORK HAS BEEN COMPLETED ON MY VEHICLE. THIS HAS BEEN AN EMBARRASSING INCONVENIENCE FOR MYSELF AND MY FAMILY, AND ALTHOUGH I'M WILLING TO DO WHAT IS NECESSARY FOR SAFETY'S SAKE, I MUST WONDER IF THE RISK FOR MY VEHICLE IS TRULY SUCH AS TO REQUIRE THIS MEASURE, OR IF SUBARU IS SIMPLY ACTING OUT OF AN EXTREME ABUNDANCE OF CAUTION TO AVOID ANY POSSIBLE LIABILITY. GIVEN THE SPECIFIC PART OF CALIFORNIA WHERE I LIVE AND HAVE DRIVEN THIS VEHICLE -- HARDLY AN AREA OF EXCESSIVE HUMIDITY, I WOULD THINK, GIVEN OUR LONG-STANDING DROUGHT CONDITIONS HERE -- DO YOU STILL CONCUR THAT I REALLY DO NEED TO KEEP EVERYONE OUT OF THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT UNTIL THE AIRBAG HAS BEEN REPLACED?

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

TAKATA RECALL I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM SUBARU AMERICA IN JULY 2016. I CONTACTED SUBARU AT THAT TIME TO INQUIRE ABOUT THE TIMING OF THE AIRBAG REPLACEMENT AND WAS TOLD THAT PARTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE IN SEPTEMBER 2016. IT IS NOW ALMOST DECEMBER 2016 AND SUBARU HAS NO FURTHER INFORMATION ABOUT WHEN THE PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE. THIS IS RIDICULOUS AND IS MAKING IT SO THAT I CAN'T USE MY CAR WHEN I NEED SOMEONE TO SIT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. I WILL HAVE TO RENT A CAR FOR THE HOLIDAYS BECAUSE I NEED TO TRANSPORT MY FAMILY AND CAN'T DO IT IN THIS CAR. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP.

TAKATA RECALL. WAS INFORMED IN JULY NOT TO USE PASSENGER SEAT. THE DEALERSHIP STILL WON'T SCHEDULE RECALL, AND HAS BEEN TELLING ME I AM NUMBER 50 ON THIER LIST FOR TWO MONTHS. MEANWHILE, ALL THE TOYOTA OWNERS ARE GETTING THEIR CARS FIXED. SOMEBODY NEEDS TO LIGHT A FIRE UNDER THESE PEOPLE.

THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT GIVEN A REMEMDY FOR THIS RECALL YET BUT APPARENTLY THEY TELL ME THAT NO ONE CAN RIDE IN MY PASSENGERS SEAT UNTIL ITS FIXED. ITS BEEN ABOUT 4 MONTHS SINCE I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM SUBARU REGARDING THE RECALL. THATS TOO LONG TO NOT BE ABLE TO HAVE A PASSENGER IN MY VEHICLE. I HAVE AN ELDERLY RELATIVE THAT I HAVE TO CHAFFEUR AROUND IN THE BACK SEAT DUE TO THIS LACK OR REMEMDY OR REPAIR.

TAKATA RECALL MY 2010 SUBARU FORESTER WAS RECALLED JUNE 10, 2016. IT IS NOW OCT 25, 2016 AND ABSOLUTELY NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE SO FAR. MY LOCAL DEALER TOLD ME THAT THEY STILL DO NOT HAVE ANY REPLACEMENT AIRBAGS. SUBARU OF AMERICA IS NOT REPLACING THE DEFECTIVE TAKATA AIRBAGS IN A REASONABLE MANNER AND YOU NEED TO FIND OUT WHEN THEY PLAN ON DOING SOMETHING.

TAKATA RECALL. I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM MY SUBARU DEALER ABOUT THE PASSENGER FRONT AIRBAG RECALL. THE LETTER INSTRUCTED ME TO CALL THE DEALER AS WELL AS NOT ALLOWING A FRONT SEAT PASSENGER. I CALLED AND WAS TOLD THAT REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE SO THEY WOULDN'T MAKE AN APPOINTMENT WITH ME TO HAVE THE AIRBAG CHECKED WITHOUT HAVING THE REPLACEMENT PART. THE SERVICE PERSON DID NOT KNOW WHEN THE REPLACEMENT PART/RECALL RESOLUTION WILL HAPPEN. I AM COMPLAINING BECAUSE OF THE ISSUE OF NOT USING MY PASSENGER FRONT SEAT WITHOUT A TIME LIMIT ON THE RESOLUTION OF THIS PROBLEM.

TAKATA RECALL: LETTER RECEIVED EARLY JULY INDICATING A RECALL FOR THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. LETTER STATED THAT OWNER SHOULD NOT USE FRONT SEAT. ITS A MONTH AND A HALF NOW WITH NO RELIEF IN SIGHT. WHEN WILL I BE ABLE TO USE MY VEHICLE??

WE HAVE RECEIVED THE MANDATORY RECALL LETTER OF JULY 2016. THE OPEN-ENDED STATEMENT: "WE WILL NOTIFY YOU WHEN REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE AVAILABLE" IS INSUFFICIENT. WHY? BECAUSE WE ALREADY HAVE A RECALL NOTICE FOR OUR 2013 LEAF WHICH IS ALREADY THREE MONTHS OLD AND THUS FAR NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE WITH THAT. I AM ANGRY BECAUSE NOW THE "FAMILY" CAR CANNOT BE USED AS A FAMILY CAR! SO THE QUESTION IS WHEN?? WILL PARTS BE AVAILABLE NEXT YEAR? 5 YEARS FROM NOW?? WHEN???
