2013 SUBARU IMPREZA Air Bags Problems

Air bags did not go off after a car accident with a commercial box truck, car seems to be totaled. Insurance is going to inspect vehicle to confirm it being totaled. No warning lights were on at the time. Just passed inspection a month a month ago.

The airbag indicator light on the driver’s dash is illuminated most times that I drive my car. The passenger airbag indicator shows that airbags are OFF, even when someone is seated in the passenger seat. This is a very serious safety concern. What if an accident occurred and the airbags don’t deploy? I’ve also read about a switch in the airbag assembly that could explode causing serious injury or death to the driver or passenger. The problem has not been confirmed or inspected but seems to be a problem with many Imprezas. It is the number 1 concern for 2013 Subaru Impreza owners.

During humid days, when a passenger sits in the passenger seat for more than a minute, the airbags will turn off for both the driver and passenger seat. With some further research, this is a somewhat common problem with 2013 Subaru Imprezas. This is a massive safety risk.

When the front passenger seat is damp, the passenger airbag light shows it is off, and the dash lights display an error light on the dashboard. The concern is that the passenger is not protected while the airbag is not on.

Srs airbag light comes in dash when passenger is is car, airbags will not turn on for passenger side only. Research showed it is a common issue with 2012 and 2013 Subaru airbag systems and it is extremely concerning

Passenger side seat occupancy sensor failed to recognize the occupancy of the passenger seat. Sensor seams to have failed causing the airbag malfunction light to illuminate on the dash. After considerable research online this seems to be a consistent problem with these vehicles. The NHTSA has issued a recall for the same sensor in 2012 Subaru Imprezas but not for the 2013 Subaru Imprezas.

In humid weather SRS airbag warning light illuminates and passenger airbag turns off even with passenger in the front seat. Car is in motion (or can be stationary but running) when this happens. Does not occur on days when weather is cool and dry. I feel this should be considered a very serious issue.

If a passenger with mildly damp pants or bathing suit sits in the car the airbag warning light will come on and the indicator for passenger airbag disabled will light. This happens consistently and does not require much moisture. It happens with a mildly damp bathing suit under shorts while sitting on a towel. It will not happen (again, consistently) if the passenger sits on a plastic bag. The airbag should be more reliable than this. The dealer said there is no fix for this issue and it is known that moisture may cause the airbag to not work. The customer advocacy dept of Subaru of America deferred to the dealer and just said there are no recalls for the vehicle. This appears to be the same issue as the 2012 recall. Subaru would not explain to me how my problem is any different from the 2012 recall problem.

Airbag occupancy sensors fail if driver or passenger are warm from exercise or damp. I have experienced this many times in the course of my ownership(2015-present). The dealership reports the system is functioning properly although 2012 Imprezas were recalled for a similar issue.

The passenger airbag occupancy sensor in my care is broken and has been since I purchased this vehicle in 2016. It is the same issue that caused the recall of 2012 Impreza models, however, my 2013 model is not covered under the recall despite having the same occupancy sensor for the airbags. If the passenger airbag sensor is exposed to moisture, whether from a wet seat, a sweaty bum, or even an excessively humid environment like Charleston SC in the summer or western Washington, the passenger airbag will switch off even when there is a passenger present. . The warning lamp on the driver dash lights up, and the passenger airbag display reads "OFF". The airbag will shut off at any point, even if the vehicle is already in motion, should the moisture levels reach a certain level in the environment. This is an expensive, cost prohibitive repair that I believe Subaru consumers shouldn't be responsible for. This malfunction puts passengers in my vehicle at risk should an accident occur when the airbag is shut off despite the presence of a passenger. I have documented this on MANY occasions- from 2016 to 2021. Subaru should step up and expand this recall to other models that use the same passenger occupancy sensor as the recalled sensors in their 2012 Impreza's.

The air bag light and “passenger airbag off” lights on dash come on sometimes when a passenger is in the car. I took my car to the Subaru dealer/service department and they charged me $140 to reset the lights and tell me the solution is to replace the passenger seat for $900.

When an adult passenger is sitting normally in the front passenger seat the passenger air bag regularly turns off. The warning light comes on indicating the air bag is off. This put the front passenger at risk if their air bag fails to deploy.

Sometimes when a passenger sits in the front passenger seat the Airbag light will show that it is turned off. It happens about 70% each time we are in the vehicle. I don't know if it is a wire issue or the airbag sensor. It seems that it is covered in other recalls, but not my vehicle. Not sure why but it seems they are the same system.

The seat bag indicator light in my 2013 Impreza (manual) goes on in humid weather -- all Fall, Winter, and Spring it's fine; as soon as humid summer weather comes... the light goes on. I assume that because the light is on the air bags won't work!!... This seems like a pretty bad problem to me; and from what I can see I am not the only one with this issue. Mileage if you need it is: 107005

I had my dealership investigate an issue with the passenger airbag in my 2013 Subaru Impreza. They diagnosed a short in the ODS module in the passenger front seat. The dealer stated they need to replace the passenger seat. After the diagnostic fee and labor, this would cost $1500. I did some research and discovered the ODS module was recalled in the 2012 Subaru Impreza, NHTSA Campaign ID 15V419000. The summary of that recall describes exactly what happened: "Subaru of America, Inc. (Subaru) is recalling certain 2012 model year Subaru Impreza 4-Door and Station Wagon vehicles (except WRX/STI models) manufactured April 21, 2011, to February 16, 2012. In the affected vehicles, the Occupant Detection System (ODS) may deactivate if a front seat passenger operates a device that is plugged into the power outlet such as a music player or cell phone, or touches a metal part of the vehicle such as the forward/rearward seat adjuster lever." My wife plugged her phone into the power outlet when the passenger seat airbag indicator switched to OFF.

MY PASSENGER AIRBAG SENSOR NEVER TURNS ON. EVEN IF I HAVE A PASSENGER IN THE SEAT, THE LIGHT STILL REMAINS OFF. I KNOW THAT THE 2012 MODELS USED THE SAME OCCUPANCY SENSOR AS THE 2013 IMPREZA BUT THE 2013 MODELS HAVEN'T BEEN RECALLED. THIS DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE BECAUSE THEY'RE THE SAME EXACT MODELS SO THEY SHOULD ALSO BE RECALLED SO THEY CAN BE FIXED. THE SEAT HAS NEVER BEEN WET AND I HAVEN'T BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENTS, SO THIS IS A FAULTY OCCUPANCY SENSOR. I DON'T KNOW WHY I SHOUL DHAVE TO PAY $1500 FOR A FAULTY SENSOR.

PERIODICALLY THE "PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF" SIGN ILLUMINATES EVEN THOUGH SOMEONE IS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM ENTERPRISE RENTAL SEVERAL YEARS AGO AND BROUGHT TO THEIR ATTENTION. SOMEHOW THEIR MECHANIC GOT LIGHT TO GO OFF. PROBLEM HAS PERSISTED BUT DIDN'T PAY MUCH ATTENTION UNTIL NOW. MY DAUGHTER WILL BE DRIVING THE CAR. DO NOT TRUST THE AIRBAG OR SEAT SENSOR.ON PASSENGER SIDE.

PASSENGER AIR BAG RED DASH LIGHT REMAINS ON WEATHER IN MOTION OR STATIONARY WITH A PASSENGER OR WITHOUT. AMBER AIR BAG CENTER DASH LIGHT REMAINS "OFF" IN MOTION OR SATIONARY WITH OR WITHOUT A PASSENGER IN THE SEAT. TURNING THE CAR ON OR OFF DOES NOT CHANGE THE ISSUE. CAR HAS 112,000 MILES.

Mileage: 112,000

THE AIRBAG INDICATOR SOMETIMES INDICATES "OFF" WHEN A PASSENGER IS SITTING IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. THIS IS INCONSISTENT AND IS A REAL SAFETY ISSUE. OBVIOUSLY DANGEROUS TO THE PASSENGER IF THE AIRBAG DOES NOT DEPLOY BECAUSE THE AIRBAG SYSTEM DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THAT THERE IS A PASSENGER SITTING IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. THIS IS SERIOUS AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. FYI: THIS HAPPENS ON START UP OR WHILE THE ENGINE IS RUNNING AND A PASSENGER GETS IN THE FRONT SEAT.

Mileage: 104,900

THE PASSENGER'S SEAT OCS MALFUNCTIONS WITH TERRIFYING FREQUENCY. THE CAR WILL BE IN MOTION WITH THE PASSENGER'S SEAT OCCUPIED AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT WILL ILLUMINATE ON THE DASHBOARD. ONCE AGAIN WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION. I HAVE SEEN MANY POSTS DETAILING THE SAME EXPERIENCE. SUBARU HAS RECALLED OTHER CARS FOR THIS PROBLEM. MY 2013 IMPREZA NEEDS TO BE INCLUDED AS WELL.

Mileage: 91,000

I RECENTLY BEGAN TO EXPERIENCE AN ISSUE WITH MY 2013 IMPREZA - IN THE BEGINNING, WHEN THE PASSENGER SEAT WAS OCCUPIED, THE DETECTION SYSTEM WOULD FAILED TO DETECT THE PASSENGER, AND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT WOULD COME ON, INDICATING THAT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WAS NOT ACTIVATED. I HAD THE ISSUE DIAGNOSED WHILE IN FOR MY REGULAR MAINTENANCE, AND IT WAS DETERMINED TO BE A MALFUNCTION OF THE OCCUPANT DETECTION SYSTEM. OVER THE COURSE OF A FEW MONTHS, THE FREQUENCY OF THE ISSUE INCREASED, TO THE POINT THAT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IS RARELY ACTIVATED. I UNDERSTAND THE OCCUPANCY DETECTION SYSTEM IS UNDER RECALL FOR SUBARU'S FORESTER MODEL; THOUGH MY SEATS ARE NOT HEATED, AND MY CAR IS SLIGHTLY OLDER, MY VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME MALFUNCTION, I BELIEVE IT TOO SHOULD BE SUBJECT TO THE RECALL AND REPAIRED BY SUBARU.

MY AIRBAG LIGHT TURNS ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY. THE PASSENGER SIDE SOMETIMES SAYS "PASSENGER AIRBAG ON" INAPPROPRIATELY (NOBODY IS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT). ALSO IT SOMETIMES SAYS "PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF" IF SOMEBODY IS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. I AM NERVOUS IF I GET IN A CRASH MY AIRBAG SYSTEM WILL NO PROTECT MY PASSENGER. THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ISSUED FOR 2012 SUBARU IMPREZA AIRBAG SYSTEMS, AND THE SAME SYSTEM IS USED IN THE 2013 MODEL, SO I'M NOT SURE WHY THIS IS NOT BEING FIXED.

I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT ON I-10 ON 11/27/2019 AT 2 PM. I WAS TRAVELING AT 60- TO 65 MPH AND HIT A SUV THAT HAD STOPPED IN THE LEFT HAND LANE. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY ( PASSENGER OR DRIVER SIDE) I HAVE REPORTED THIS TO SUBARU AND SO FAR THEY HAVE NOT BEEN HELPFUL. I RECEIVED CONTUSIONS FROM MY RIGHT HIP TO MY LEFT CLAVICLE BUT NO BROKEN BONES.

THE FRONT AIRBAG PASSENGER SENSOR MALFUNCTIONS. IT TURNS THE AIRBAG OFF WHILE A PASSENGER IS SITTING IN THE SEAT. THIS HAPPENS WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION, BOTH ON CITY STREETS AND ON THE HIGHWAY. RESTARTING THE CAR AND REPOSITIONING THE SEAT DOES NOT RELIABLY TURN THE SEATBELT BACK ON. THIS HAPPENS EVEN WHEN THE SEAT IS DRY.

Mileage: 100,015

SEAT OCCUPANCY SENSOR DOES NOT REGISTER ADULT HUMAN MALE, GETS TRIPPED IF CELL PHON E IS IN PROXIMITY TO THE PASSENGER IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. FRONT AIRBAG IS THEREFORE OFF AND WILL NOT GO OFF IN CASE OF ACCIDENT. THIS OCCURS IF THE FRONT PASSENGER HAS A LAPTOP OR CELLPHONE. UPON INSPECTION BY DEALERSHIP I WAS TOLD THAT THE SENSOR IS BROKEN BUT DUE TO WATER DAMAGE WHICH HAS NOT HAPPENED - IF A DAMP USER IS ENOUGH TO CAUSE DAMAGE TO SENSOR I BELIEVE SUBARU IS PURPOSEFULLY RELEASING POORLY DESIGNED AND ENGINEERED PARTS. THIS ISSUES FIRST APPEARED IN 2017 AND WAS INTERMITTENT AND IS NOT OCCURRING EVERY TIME A PASSENGER RIDES WITH ME.

Mileage: 40,000

RECALL IN OTHER IMPREZA IN SAME YEAR MODEL, BUT NOT MINE SPECIFICALLY. SAME ISSUE OCCURS WITH AIRBAG OCCUPANCY SENSOR IN PASSENGER SEAT. AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON WITH ANY AMOUNT OF WEIGHT IN PASSENGER SEAT, AIRBAG HOWEVER DOES NOT TURN ON. STAYS OFF WITH PASSENGER IN SEAT. THIS WAS RECALLED IN MANY OTHER 2012-2014 IMPREZA. SUBARU CONFIRMED THAT PASSENGER OCCUPANCY IN MY IMPREZA IS SAME PART AS OCCUPANY SENSOR RECALLED IN OTHER IMPREZA. I WAS SOLD THIS CAR BY AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WITH THIS ISSUE (NOT THE COMPANY LISTED ON THE RECEIPTS PROVIDED). HAD TO PAY TO GET IT FIXED FOR INSPECTION. HAVE TO REPLACE SEAT BOTTOM, ALMOST $700 FOR SEAT ALONE. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND UNFAIR. SUBARU ACKNOWLEDGED THE PROBLEM BY GIVING ME $500 GOODWILL REPAIR CERTIFICATE, BUT NOT FULL PRICE OF REPAIR EVEN THOUGH THIS HAS BEEN RECALLED IN MANY OTHER VEHICLES.

PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG DISABLED BECAUSE THE UNDER SEAT SENSOR IS FAULTY IN 2013 SUBARU IMPREZA. THE DEALER CHARGED ME $154.95 JUST TO READ THE CODE TO EXPLAIN THE FAULT. CODES B1760 AND B1761 INDICATE THE "SENSOR MAT IS ABNORMAL." TECH RECOMMENDS TO REPLACE THE PASSENGER SEAT BOTTOM. THE ISSUE IS THAT THIS COSTS $1181.85 TO REPLACE. SUBARU SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS MODEL BECAUSE MANY OF US ARE PUTTING OUR PASSENGERS AT UNREASONABLE RISK DUE TO A FAULTY SENSOR INSTALLED BY SUBARU. THE COST TO REPLACE IT IS EXTORTIONATE. I LOVE MY CAR AND I HOPE THAT SUBARU WILL DO THE RIGHT THING AND HELP RESTORE MY TRUST IN THEIR SAFETY RECORD.

THE PASSENGER SIDE OCCUPANT DETECTION SYSTEM HAS FAILED. WHEN SOMEONE SITS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT THE AIRBAG IS NOT ACTIVATED AND THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT COMES ON. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON COMPLAINT.

Mileage: 107,000

SOMETIMES WHILE I'M DRIVING AND WHEN A PERSON IS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT THE AIR BAG RANDOMLY TURNS OFF. ALSO TWICE THE SEAT BELT ALARM HAS SOUNDED WHILE I'M DRIVING AND NON ONE IS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. I HAD THE ISSUE CHECKED OUT AT THE DEALER TODAY AND THE SENSOR IS FAULTY AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AT A $800 PLUS COST TO ME. I UNDERSTAND THIS IS THE SAME SENSOR THAT WAS RECALLED ON THE 2012 MODELS.

Mileage: 41,000

TAKATA RECALL - I PURCHASED MY CAR USED FROM A DEALERSHIP IN MAY 2018 AND ALMOST IMMEDIATELY THE AIRBAG LIGHT BEGAN TO MALFUNCTION. THE AIRBAG LIGHT WILL SHUT OFF REGARDLESS OF WHETHER A PURSE, BACKPACK OR PERSON IS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. IN SOME CASES THERE ARE NO ELECTRONICS, OTHERS THERE ARE. IT CAN ALSO SHUT OFF IF SOMEONE SITS IN THE CAR WITH WET CLOTHING (AFTER A RAIN STORM OR AFTER SWIMMING). THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND NOT ACCEPTABLE THAT THIS HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED AS A RECALL ISSUE. THIS VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED IN 2012, BUT IS A 2013 MODEL. WITH THE EXACT SAME AIRBAG AND SEAT FEATURES AS 2011-2012 SUBARUS WITH RECALLS ISSUED, THIS IS EXTREMELY NEGLIGENT ON SUBARU'S PART. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO MAKE PASSENGERS SIT IN THE BACK SEAT. THIS IS MY FIRST SUBARU, BASED ON FRIEND RECOMMENDATIONS, BUT IT IS HIGHLY UNLIKELY I WOULD BUY ANOTHER DUE TO THE LACK OF RESPONSIBILITY TAKEN BY SUBARU TO REPAIR THIS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS DEFECT. I BELIEVED THAT SUBARU TOOK PRIDE IN MAKING SAFETY A NUMBER ONE PRIORITY WITH THEIR VEHICLES, BUT NO LONGER BELIEVE THAT TO BE THE CASE. I ALSO DON'T BELIEVE THAT SPENDING $1,100 ON A REPLACEMENT SEAT, WITH NO GUARANTEE OF THIS FIXING THE PROBLEM, SHOULD BE MY OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE. PLEASE ISSUE A RECALL AND PROVE YOU ARE THE REPUTABLE COMPANY I BELIEVED YOU TO BE.

I'VE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT FOR YEARS. I HAVE BROUGHT IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP MANY TIMES OVER THE COURSE OF 4 YEARS AND THEY CANNOT REPRODUCE IT, AND OFTEN STATE THAT THERE IS NO RECORD OF OTHERS REPORTING THIS PROBLEM. WHEN I HAVE A PASSENGER IN THE SEAT, THE CAR DOESNT REGISTER THEM AND THE AIRBAG IS TURNED OFF. WHETHER THE SEAT IS DAMP OR BONE DRY, MOVING OR NOT, IT STILL FAILS MOST OF THE TIME, WHICH IS VERY WORRISOME. WHILE THE 2012 MODEL HAVE BEEN RECALLED, THE 2013 HAS NOT, DESPITE THE FACT THAT THEY USE THE SAME EXACT TECHNOLOGY.

I REALLY FEEL MY 2013 IMPREZA SHOULD FALL INTO THE TAKATA RECALL. I MADE SURE TO CHECK MY VEHICLE DIDN'T QUALIFY, BUT IT APPEARS TO BE DOING SIMILAR THINGS PRESENTED FOR THOSE CURRENTLY IN THE RECALL. THE FIRST TIME I HAVE PROOF OF MY AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT WAS 7.4.2016 AT 45,896 MILES. AT THE TIME, I WAS THE ONLY PERSON IN THE VEHICLE. WHEN I WENT TO THE LOCAL SUBARU DEALER TO HAVE IT CHECKED, THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T CHECK IT UNLESS THE LIGHT WAS LIT (WHICH IT WAS NOT) AND SUGGESTED THE SEAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN WET. MOST RECENTLY, I HAVE HAD A FRONT PASSENGER IN MY VEHICLE AND THE INDICATOR LIGHT HAS COME ON AND THE AIR BAG LIGHT SWITCHED TO OFF AT LEAST 3 TIMES IN THE LAST TWO WEEKS. I PURCHASED MY SUBARU FOR THE SAFETY AND THIS IS A HUGE ISSUE IF THE AIRBAG DOES NOT DEPLOY IF FOR SOME REASON I GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. JUST CONTINUING DRIVING WITH THIS LIGHT ON CAUSED ME A GREAT DEAL OF ANXIETY FOR FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN. I LIKE TO THINK I AM A GOOD DRIVER, BUT I COULDN'T LIVE WITH MYSELF IF A DEFECT OF MY VEHICLE WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR LOSING A PRECIOUS PASSENGER. PLEASE TRY TO REVIEW MORE OF THESE CASES AND UPDATE THE RECALL LIST. FOR THE FIRST DOCUMENTED INSTANCE, THE VEHICLE WAS IN A DRIVEWAY AND PARKED WITHOUT A PASSENGER. THESE LAST COUPLE OF INCIDENCES HAVE BEEN BOTH PARKED AND IN MOTION ALONG ROADWAYS RANGING FROM 50-70MPH.

AIR BAG IS DISABLED WHEN MOISTURE OR HUMIDITY IS PRESENT ON THE PASSENGER SEAT. SPECIFICALLY THE AIRBAG RED LIGHT ILLUMINATES AND THE AMBER PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG OFF LIGHT ILLUMINATES. THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT PRESENTED ITSELF SOON AFTER PURCHASE. IT HAS HAPPENED WHILE STATIONARY & WHILE DRIVING. IT HAS BEEN TRIGGERED BY BOTH HUMIDITY IN THE AIR & PERSPIRATION BY THE PASSENGER. I BELIEVE THE PROBLEM HAS TO DO WITH MOISTURE COMPROMISING THE PASSENGER SEAT SWITCH. THE INCIDENT HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES. MOST RECENTLY I HAD LEFT THE REAR WINDOW OPEN IT WAS HUMID BUT THERE WAS NO RAIN, WHEN I WENT TO WORK IN THE MORNING THE RED AIRBAG LIGHT WAS ON. THE PROBLEM MAY BE GETTING WORSE OVER TIME, IN THE PAST A TOWEL OR TRASH BAG WOULD PREVENT IT BUT NO, AS MENTIONED IT IS BEING TRIGGERED BY HUMID AIR.

TAKATA RECALL. HAVING CELL PHONE ON SEAT WILL ACTIVATE THE AIRBAG ON AND WILL SET OFF SEAT BELT LIGHT AND SOUND. AFTER GETTING THE SEAT WET, AIRBAG WOULD NOT GO ON WITH SOMEONE SITTING IN IT AND LIGHT WOULD BE ON THE DASH. I HAD TO LET THE SEAT DRY AND THAT SEEMED TO MAKE IT WORK AGAIN AFTER GETTING WET. THIS IS PASSANGER SEAT. I SEE THAT THERE'S A RECALL FOR THAT ON THE 2012 MODEL. THE 2013 MODEL IS EQUIPPED WITH THE SAME SENSORS AS THE 2012. WOULD LIKE TO SEE THIS GET UPDATED AND MOVED TO A RECALL JUST LIKE THE 2012 MODELS.

THE PASSENGER SEAT SENSOR THAT CONTROLS AIRBAG IS FAULTY. SOMETIMES WITH A PASSENGER IN THE SEAT, THE AIRBAG LIGHT WILL GO ON INDICATING THAT THE AIRBAG IS DISABLED EVEN THOUGH PASSENGER IS IN SEAT AND BELTED. THIS CAN ALWAYS BE RESET BY TURNING IGNIOTION OFF AND ON AGAIN. ALSO SENSOR INCORRECTLY THINKS THERE IS A PASSENGER IN THE SEAT EVEN WHEN VERY LIGHT PACKAGES OR GROCERIES ARE ON THE SEAT WEIGHING 2-12 POUNDS. I'VE CALLED SUBARU AND THEY CLAIM SENSOR IS SET TO 27 PUNDS OR MORE, WHICH IS CLEARLY NOT WORKING HERE. SUBARU WILL NOT FIX THIS UNDER WARRANTY SO I THINK NHTSA SHOULD LOOK AT ALL THE SIMILAR COMPLAINTS HERE AND INVESTIGATE.

I PURCHASED MY 2013 SUBARU IMPREZA AS A CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED VEHICLE WITH ~54,000 MILES ON IT IN AUGUST 2016. OVER THE LAST YEAR, I'VE NOTICED AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WITH THE OCCUPANT AIRBAG SENSOR IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. SOMETIMES, WHEN THERE IS A PASSENGER SITTING IN THE FRONT SEAT AND WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, WHETHER ON A HIGHWAY OR ON A SIDE STREET, THE PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF LIGHT WILL COME ON, AND THE RED AIR BAG LIGHT IN THE DRIVER INFORMATION CENTER WILL COME ON- MEANING THAT THE AIRBAG IS OFF WHEN SOMEONE IS SITTING IN THE SEAT AND THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. INITIALLY, I THOUGHT THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A FLUKE SO I TOOK THE WAIT AND SEE APPROACH. THIS PAST SPRING, THE PROBLEM STARTED HAPPENING MORE, SO I'VE SINCE STARTED DOCUMENTING THE PROBLEM EVERY TIME IT HAPPENS. I NOTICED THAT THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS MORE WHEN THE PASSENGER SIDE IS DAMP, WHETHER IT IS BECAUSE I'M DRIVING IN A HOT AND HUMID LOCATION, OR PASSENGER HAS DAMP CLOTHES DUE TO COMING BACK FROM THE BEACH OR RIVER, EXERCISING, OR JUST BEING PLAIN WARM & SWEATY. THERE IS A RECALL FOR OTHER 2012 IMPREZAS FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM, BUT MY CAR, WHICH I BELIEVE HAS THE SAME SENSORS AS THE RECALLED ONES FOR THE 2012 IMPREZA, IS NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL.

I DO NOT THINK THAT I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR A REPAIR OF SOMETHING THAT IS A KNOWN, WIDESPREAD ISSUE AMONG SUBARU IMPREZAS. I THINK THAT MY CAR SHOULD BE REPAIRED UNDER THIS RECALL. THIS PROBLEM IS ALARMING, GIVEN THAT THE AIR BAG MAY NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY IF THE CAR WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH A PASSENGER, THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AND THE PASSENGER AIR BAG INDICATOR SWITCHED FROM ON TO OFF. I HAD ALREADY DRIVEN PROBABLY 35 MILES AT HIGHWAY SPEED (65MPH) AT THE TIME THIS OCCURRED. I WAS IN MOTION AT THE TIME, CHANGING LANES AS I PREPARED TO EXIT THE HIGHWAY. AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF, THE LIGHTS BEHAVED AS EXPECTED BUT THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TURNED OFF TO FIX.

I RECEIVED A LEGAL NOTICE FROM AUTO AIRBAG SETTLEMENT ABOUT TAKATA RECALL ON THE AIRBAGS IN MY CAR AND I SHOULD MAKE AN APPOINTMENT FOR REPAIRS BY A LOCAL RETAILER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

THE SRS SENSOR WAS LIGHTING UP AND THE AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT BEGAN TO SWITCH TO OFF EVEN WHEN THE PASSENGER SEAT WAS OCCUPIED. I TOOK MY CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY CONFIRMED THE SWITCH HAS GONE BACK AND NEEDS REPLACED. LUCKILY THE CAR IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY SO I AM ONLY RESPONSIBLE TO PAY FOR THE $100 WARRANTY DEDUCTIBLE. AFTER MUCH RESEARCH, I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS THE SAME SRS SWITCH USED IN THE 2012 SUBARU IMPREZA THAT HAS BEEN REPLACED DUE TO A RECALL.

WHEN A PASSENGER IS IN THE SEAT, WHEN DRIVING OR PARKED, THE AIRBAG SIGN ILLUMINATES OFF. OCCASIONALLY THE AIRBAG INDICATOR WILL ILLUMINATE ON THE DASHBOARD. AT TIMES THE SENSOR WILL SENSE THE SMALLEST THINGS, SUCH AS A SMALL BOX OF TISSUES, AND THE AIRBAG WILL TURN ON WITHOUT A PASSENGER. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM FOR THE LAST 3-4 MONTHS.

SRS AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATES AND PASSENGER AIRBAG TURNS OFF EVEN WITH PASSENGER IN THE FRONT SEAT. CAR WAS IN MOTION. THIS IS A WELL KNOWN DEFECT AND A RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR THE EXACT SAME REASON FOR THE 2012 MODEL, WHICH HAS THE SAME COMPONENTS AS THE 2013.

WHEN THE PASSENGER SEAT IS DAMP, THE PASSENGER OCCUPANCY SENSOR STOPS WORKING AND DEACTIVATES THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WHEN AN ADULT IS OCCUPYING THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE FRONT PASSENGER'S FRONTAL AIRBAG INDICATOR (LOCATED IN THE CENTER DISPLAY) TURNS "OFF" (EVEN IF AN ADULT IS SITTING IN THE SEAT). THE RED SRS AIRBAG SYSTEM WARNING (LIGHT LOCATED IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER) TURNS ON WHEN THIS ISSUE OCCURS. EVENTUALLY THE LIGHT SHUTS OFF BY ITSELF. THIS ISSUE HAPPENS REGARDLESS WHETHER THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY OR IN MOTION.

THE DASHBOARD 'AIRBAG MALFUNCTION' LIGHT TURNS ON AND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT SWITCHES TO 'OFF' WHILE THERE IS AN ADULT PASSENGER IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT OF THE CAR.

MULTIPLE SPORADIC ISSUES WITH THE FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG INDICATOR. 1) WHEN A PASSENGER IS SEATED WITH SEATBELT FASTENED IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT, ONCE THE CAR IS IN MOTION THE PASSENGER AIRBAG INDICATOR WILL CHANGE STATUS TO OFF AND A RED AIRBAG/BALLOON INDICATOR LIGHT WILL SHOW ON THE DASH AS IF THERE IS NO-ONE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. 2) WHEN SOMEONE SITTING IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT EXITS THE CAR, AFTER DRIVING AWAY THE PASSENGER AIR BAG INDICATOR WILL TURN ON AS IF SOMEONE IS SITTING IN THE SEAT AND THE FASTEN SEAT BELT CHIME WILL CONTINUE SOUNDING EVEN THROUGH THE PASSENGER SEAT IS EMPTY. 3) WITH NO PASSENGER IN THE CAR, IF YOU PLACE A CELL PHONE DIRECTLY ON THE PASSENGER SEAT WHILE IT IS PLUGGED IN TO THE USB PORT CHARGING, THE PASSENGER AIR BAG INDICATOR WILL SWITCH STATUS TO ON AND THE FASTEN SEAT BELT CHIME WILL SOUND. IF YOU PICK UP THE CELL PHONE FROM THE SEAT (STILL PLUGGED IN TO USB PORT CHARGING), THE INDICATOR WILL CHANGE BACK TO OFF AND THE FASTEN SEAT BELT CHIME WILL STOP. IF YOU PLACE THE CELL PHONE BACK ON THE SEAT, THE AIR BAG INDICATOR WILL SWITCH BACK TO ON AND THE FASTEN SEAT BELT CHIME WILL SOUND. ISSUE #1&#2 SEEM TO OCCUR MOST OFTEN IN HIGH HUMIDITY OR RAIN. ISSUE #3 OCCURS IF THE CELL PHONE IS GREATER THAN 35% CHARGED.

WHEN PASSENGER ( ADULT OVER 130 LBS) SITS IN FRONT PASSENGER SEAT THE AIRBAG SENSOR ENABLES. WHILE DRIVING WITH THE PASSENGER THE AIRBAG SENSOR WILL DISENGAGE THUS RENDERING THE AIRBAG USELESS. ALSO HAPPENS IF SEAT IS SLIGHTLY WET. THIS WAS A RECALL TO THE 2012 SUBARU IMPREZA'S AND THE 2013 MODELS USE THE SAME AIRBAG SENSOR.

PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT ACTIVATES/ ILLUMINATES/ STAYS ON WHEN PASSENGER WITH WET/ MOIST CLOTHING SITS IN PASSENGER SEAT. THIS ALSO OCCURS AFTER CLEANING THE PASSENGER SEAT WITH UPHOLSTERY CLEANER AND THE SEAT HAS NOT FULLY DRIED. UPON READING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, I FOUND THAT A RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR 2012 MODELS. PLEASE INCLUDE 2013 MODEL AS THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE.

MY CAR IS HAVING THE SAME EXACT BEHAVIOR DESCRIBED IN A RECALL FOR THE 2012 MODEL YEAR (NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 15V419000, SUBARU RECALL NUMBER WQT-55). MY CAR IS NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL, BUT IT SEEMS LIKE IT SHOULD BE SINCE MY PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE IDENTICAL TO THAT WHICH IS DESCRIBED.

PASSENGER DRIVER AIRBAG IS OFF EVEN THOUGH SOMEBODY SEATING . THIS IS SAFETY ISSUE AND I DISCOVER IT RECENTLY. SUBARU DEALER CHARGED ME FOR INSPECTION AND REPAIR BECAUSE ITEM IS OUT OF WARRANTY.

PASSENGER AIRBAG NOT ENGAGED WHEN THE PASSENGER IS IN THE SEAT WITH THE BELT ON/OFF. CONTINUES EVEN AFTER THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF AND STARTED ON AGAIN. OCCURS MOST OFTEN IF THE HUMIDITY IS HIGH, SEAT IS MOIST, OR RAINING. BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION OF SUBARU DEALERSHIP WHILE HAVING SERVICE PERFORMED. WAS TOLD THIS IS NORMAL. RECALL ONLY ISSUED FOR 2012 IMPREZA EVEN THOUGH THE SAME SENSOR AND AIRBAG IS INSTALLED IN THIS MODEL YEAR.

Mileage: 30,200

WHEN THE PASSENGER SEAT IS UNOCCUPIED AND NO ELECTRONIC DEVICES OR PERSONAL BELONGINGS ARE IN THE SEAT, THE SEATBELT ALARM COMES ON AND THE AIRBAG GOES FROM THE OFF POSITION TO ON, THIS IS SAME THING THAT WAS HAPPENING IN WITH THE 2012 PASSENGER-AIRBAG OCCUPANCY SENSOR, RECALL.

OUR SUBARU IMPREZA AIR BAG & SEAT BELT CENSOR MALFUNCTIONS REGULARLY WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION. WHEN NO PASSENGER IS IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT, THE SENSOR BUZZES TO INDICATE THE PRESENCE OF A PASSENGER. THE SENSOR MALFUNCTIONS WHEN MY PURSE IS ON THE SEAT. IT MALFUNCTIONS AND BUZZES WHEN I SIMPLY TOUCH THE SEAT WITH SLIGHT PRESSURE. ONCE IT SEEMED TO GO OFF BECAUSE OF CONDENSATION FROM A COLD BEVERAGE BOTTLE RESTING ON THE SEAT (THAT IS IT BUZZED AFTER THE BOTTLE WAS NO LONGER ON THE SEAT, BUT IT WAS DAMP TO THE TOUCH). CONVERSELY -- AND LESS FREQUENTLY -- THE SENSOR MALFUNCTIONS WHEN A PASSENGER IS IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION, THE SENSOR WILL CHANGE ITS STATUS, SUGGESTING THAT THERE IS NO OCCUPANT IN THE SEAT. THIS SEEMS TO IMPLY THAT THE AIR BAG WILL NOT GO OFF IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY. THIS SEEMS LIKE A MALFUNCTION WITH POTENTIAL TO BE LIFE-THREATENING.

THE SRS LIGHT WAS OFF, PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG WAS ON. SEVERAL MILES LATER, THE CONDITION REPEATED ITSELF. REPEATED THIS PROCESS TWO MORE TIMES WITH THE SRS WARNING LIGHT COMING ON AGAIN BOTH TIMES. I ASKED MY PASSENGER TO TRANSFER TO THE REAR SEAT. THE SRS WARNING LIGHT DID NOT GO ON ANYMORE. IT HAS BEEN TWO DAYS SINCE THE INCIDENT AND THE SRS LIGHT HAS NOT COME ON EVEN WITH A FRONT SEAT PASSENGER. THIS HAD HAPPENED THE FIRST TIME APPROXIMATELY TWO WEEKS AGO BUT I THOUGHT NOTHING OF IT WHEN THE CONDITION CORRECTED ITSELF AFTER TURNING THE ENGINE OFF AND TURNING IT BACK ON.

DECEMBER 19, 2013, I PURCHASED A SUBARU IMPREZA FROM KOEPPEL SUBARU IN LONG ISLAND CITY, N.Y. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THE CAR WAS "BRAND NEW" AND USED ONLY FOR TEST DRIVES. AFTER 5 MONTHS OF DRIVING THE CAR, THE CAR BEGAN TO HAVE PROBLEMS TO START. PUTTING THE KEY IN THE IGNITION, THERE WAS NO RESPONSE. THE CAR DOOR HAD TO BE OPENED MANUALLY. THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WOULD NOT GO OFF REGARDLESS OF THE SEAT BEING EMPTY OR OCCUPIED. SOMEONE GAVE ME A "BOOST" WHICH STARTED THE CAR. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE AND THEN PARKED THE CAR. I WENT ON VACATION FOR TWO WEEKS. AFTER THE CAR BEING UNUSED FOR TWO WEEKS, AGAIN THE CAR WOULD NOT START. I INFORMED THE DEALERSHIP OF THIS PROBLEM AND WAS ADVISED BY THEM TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO ANY SUBARU DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO BAYRIDGE SUBARU WHICH EVALUATED THE CAR AND SAID THAT THE CAR HAD A DEAD CELL IN THE BATTERY. SUBARU DEALERS WERE INFORMED IN APRIL OF 2013 THAT IMPREZA HAD A DEFECT WHICH CAUSE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS IN THE CAR LEADING TO THE BATTERY DYING AND ENGINE PROBLEMS. KOEPPEL SUBARU DID NOT INFORM ME OF THIS RECALL BEFORE I PURCHASED THE CAR IN DECEMBER OF 2013. THEY ALSO DID NOT INFORM ME THAT THE CAR WAS PREVIOUSLY CORPORATE OWNED. I BELIEVE THAT KOEPPEL SHOULD HAVE INFORMED ME ABOUT THE RECALL AS WELL AS THE FACT THAT IT WAS USED AS A "LOANER" BEFORE I PURCHASED THE CAR. I BELIEVE KOEPPEL SUBARU COMMITTED CONSUMER FRAUD BY NOT INFORMING ME OF THE RECALL AND THE CAR'S HISTORY BEFORE PURCHASE. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE CAR AND SIMPLY WANT A REFUND OF MY DOWN PAYMENT ($5,000) AND CAR PAYMENTS MADE UP TO CURRENT DATE. KOEPELL SUBARU SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED FOR THEIR PRACTICES IN SELLING USED CARS. I REFUSE TO PAY BAYRIDGE SUBARU $35/DAY FOR STORAGE OF THIS UNSAFE CAR. KOEPPEL SUBARU IS IN VIOLATION OF CONSUMER PROTECTION LAW.

I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT WHILE DRIVING MY RECENTLY ACQUIRED 2013 SUBARU IMPREZA, WHERE ANOTHER DRIVER HIT MY VEHICLE IN A SIDE IMPACT ON THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT WHEEL AND DRIVER DOOR (I CAN SEND THE PICTURES VIA EMAIL). THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT I WAS ABLE TO GET OUT ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE BAD NEWS IS THAT THE SIDE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, AND THIS WAS ALSO NOTED BY THE EMERGENCY CREW WHO ARRIVED ON THE SCENE. I BELIEVE THAT THIS MAY BE A DESIGN FLAW OR DEFECT THAT SUBARU ENGINEERS NEED TO HAVE A CLOSER LOOK AT. *TR
