TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 SUBARU LEGACY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V009000 (AIR BAGS) EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR REPAIR. STATELINE SUBARU (1451 BRAYTON POINT RD, SOMERSET, MA 02725) STATED THAT THE PARTS WERE UNAVAILABLE FOR THE REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALSO CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

THERE WAS A RECALL WITH THIS MODEL AND YEAR AND THEY TOLD ME MY CAR WASN'T INCLUDED IN THE RECALL WHEN ITS DOING EXACTLY WHAT THE RECALL WAS FOR. I HAVE NO HORN, CRUISE CONTROL, NO RADIO CONTROLS AND I DON,T KNOW IF THE AIR BAG WORKS. THIS CAR IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AND SUBARU REFUSES TO REPAIR I WAS TOLD IT WOULD BE $200. PLUS JUST TO DIAGNOSE IT WHEN THEY ALREADY KNOW WHAT IT IS. ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED.

I WEIGH 115 POUNDS. WHEN I SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT OF THE 2010 SUBARU LEGACY, THE AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT DOES NOT COME ON. WHEN SOMEONE HEAVIER SITS IN THE SEAT, THE AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT COMES ON. I WORKED WITH MY SUBARU DEALER, WHO HAD NO REMEDY, SO THEY REFERRED ME TO SUBARU OF AMERICA (800-782-2783). I OPENED CASE 1-25522457944. THEY TELL ME THERE IS NO AVAILABLE REPAIR, AND THE PASSENGER MUST "SIT PROPERLY" IN THE SEAT. I AM SITTING PROPERLY. THIS WAS APPARENTLY AN ISSUE THEY KNEW ABOUT, AS THEY CORRECTED IN IN THE 2011 LEGACIES (WE OWN ONE OF THOSE, TOO). I HAVE NO PROBLEMS WHEN I SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT IN THE 2011 MODEL. SUBARU OF AMERICA CONFIRMED THAT IF THE INDICATOR LIGHT IS NOT LIT, THE BAG WILL NOT DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT. SO A PERSON OVER 80 POUNDS SITTING IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT OF A 2010 SUBARU LEGACY IS NOT PROTECTED. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THERE IS A REMEDY, BUT PERHAPS SUBARU DOESN'T WANT TO GO THERE. I WANT THE VEHICLE ATTRIBUTES I PURCHASED TO FUNCTION AS DESIGNED. THEY SAY IT IS, BUT IF IT DOESN'T DEPLOY FOR SOMEONE WHO IS 115, HOW DID THEY DESIGN IT? IS THIS SOMETHING YOU CAN HELP WITH? WE FIRST NOTED THIS PROBLEM IN 2014, TOOK IT IN, SUBARU COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. THIS TIME, WE PUSHED HARDER FOR A RESOLUTION, SO WE HAVE BETTER INFORMATION. WHEN DID THIS FIRST HAPPEN DATE WILL REFLECT THE MOST RECENT DATE.

PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT INDICATING AIR BAG IS OFF WHEN A 5'4'' 112 POUND ADULT FEMALE IS IN THE SEAT. THE INDICATION LIGHT WILL SOMETIMES FLICKER FROM OFF TO ON BUT MAINLY REMAINS OFF FOR THE DURATION OF THE DRIVE REGARDLESS OF THE SPEED AS WELL AS WHEN THE CAR IS IN PARK. THIS INCIDENT HAS OCCURRED SINCE THE PURCHASE OF THE CAR IN JUNE 2011 AND CONTINUES TO OCCUR EACH TIME MY WIFE IS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. *KB

THE PASSENGER-SIDE AIR BAG IN OUR 2010 LEGACY IS TURNING OFF INTERMITTENTLY AND SPONTANEOUSLY WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION, ALTHOUGH THE PASSENGER SEAT IS OCCUPIED BY A 120-POUND PERSON. THE BAG IS DEACTIVATING EVEN THOUGH THE SEAT IS SECURELY LOCKED INTO POSITION AS FAR FROM THE DASHBOARD AS IT WILL MOVE, AND NOTHING IS PLACED BENEATH THE PASSENGERS SEAT. TO REACTIVATE THE AIR BAG, IT IS NECESSARY TO STOP, THEN TO RESTART THE ENGINE, AND THAT MANEUVER IS FREQUENTLY NOT FEASIBLE IN EITHER HEAVY FREEWAY TRAFFIC, OR ON REMOTE HIGHWAYS THAT LACK SHOULDERS. THE REBOOTING PROCEDURE INDICATES THAT THE PROBLEM IS NOT ANY SENSOR FOR THE SEAT IT IS A PROBLEM WITH THE COMPUTER OPERATING THE AIR BAG. THE DEALER IS UNABLE TO TREAT THIS PROBLEM. *KB

THE 2010 SUBARU LEGACY GT HAS A DEFECT IN THE SENSOR THAT DETERMINES WEIGHT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. THIS SENSORS FUNCTION IS TO TURN THE AIRBAG ON OR OFF DEPENDING ON THE AMOUNT OF WEIGHT IN THE SEAT. WITH A 114 POUND WOMAN IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, THE AUTOMATIC AIRBAG SENSOR DOES NOT SIGNAL FOR THE AIRBAG TO BE READY TO DEPLOY AND CONTINUES TO BE IN THE OFF MODE. AFTER TAKING THE VEHICLE TO MULTIPLE SUBARU DEALERSHIPS, I WAS INFORMED THAT THE NEEDED WEIGHT TO TURN THE AIRBAGS TO THE ON MODE WAS 17 POUNDS. MY 114 POUND WIFE IS FAR MORE THAN 17 POUNDS BUT THE AIRBAG SENSOR STILL DOES NOT TRIP TO THE ON MODE. I AM WORRIED THAT A PASSENGER WILL NOT BE PROTECTED IN A POSSIBLE CRASH. *TR

FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG WORKS INTERMITTENTLY. PURCHASED NEW 2010 LEGACY FROM HUDSON SUBARU JERSEY CITY IN MAR 2010. FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT IS FREQUENTLY OFF WHEN I AM SITTING IN SEAT (5'7" & 135LBS). IS PROPERLY ACTIVATED HALF OF THE TIME. TRIED MANY THINGS TO GET AIRBAG TO TURN ON INCLUDING: 1. WITH CAR RUNNING, UNFASTENING PASSENGER SEATBELT AND REFASTENING 2. WITH CAR RUNNING, OPENING PASSENGER DOOR, EXITING CAR AND GETTING BACK IN 3. EXITING CAR, SHUTTING CAR OFF, RESTARTING CAR AND GETTING BACK IN 4. WITH CAR RUNNING LIFTING MYSELF UP AND OFF SEAT AND SITTING BACK DOWN AS HARD AS POSSIBLE. HUSBAND TOOK CAR TO HUDSON SUBARU ON 11/9/10 AND THEY RECALIBRATED SEAT MODULE AND SENSOR. PROBLEM PERSISTED SO HE CALLED HUDSON SUBARU ON 10/12/11. SAID THEY HAVE RECEIVED A NUMBER OF CALLS REGARDING THIS ISSUE, BUT THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. SENSOR IS DESIGNED TO ACTIVATE AIRBAG WHEN 90LBS OF PRESSURE IS APPLIED TO SEAT. IF A SMALLER PERSON IS NOT SITTING SQUARELY IN SEAT, SENSOR MAY NOT DETECT PERSONS WEIGHT AND AIRBAG WILL NOT BE ACTIVATED. CALLED SUBARU ON 10/12/11 AND OPENED A CASE. ALSO EMAILED SUBARU ON 10/20. RECEIVED EMAIL REPLY ON 10/26 REQUESTING I BRING CAR TO DEALERSHIP AND MEET WITH A FIELD REP. ON 11/1 REP INDICATED WEIGHT SETTING IS NOT 90LBS ITS CLOSER TO 112LBS. SAID HE MET WITH A COUPLE IN FLEMINGTON HAVING SAME ISSUE AND HAD TO REPLACE GEL BLADDER IN SEAT. HE ASKED TO SEE CAR AND CHECKED TO BE SURE SEATBACK NOT RECLINED AND THEN ASKED ME TO SIT IN CAR. POINTED OUT THAT BACKS OF MY THIGHS DID NOT TOUCH SEAT AND SUGGESTED MY FULL WEIGHT WAS NOT BEING DETECTED BY SENSOR. HE KEPT CAR OVERNIGHT AND PERFORMED DIFFERENT TESTS, BUT WAS UNABLE TO REPLICATE PROBLEM. HE EMAILED ME A PAGE FROM OWNERS MANUAL WHICH DETAILED HOW SOMEONE SHOULD SIT IN SEAT AND STEPS AN OWNER SHOULD TAKE IF THE AIRBAG DOES NOT ACTIVATE. *TR

FRONTAL DRIVER'S AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY WHEN AUTOMOBILE STRUCK A UTILITY POLE HEAD-ON WITH SUFFICIENT FORCE TO DAMAGE IT BEYOND ECONOMIC REPAIR. ONLY OCCUPANT WAS OPERATOR, AND WAS USING SEATBELT BUT WAS INJURED DUE TO FORCE OF IMPACT AGAINST THE STEERING WHEEL. NOTE 1: MILEAGE IS UNKNOWN. FIGURE SUPPLIED IS AN ESTIMATE. NOTE 2: PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE DAMAGE ARE AVAILABLE AND THE VEHICLE IS BEING PRESERVED FOR FURTHER EXAMINATION. NOTE 3: THIS REPORT IS BEING SUBMITTED BY A PROFESSIONAL MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENT RECONSTRUCTION. THE CONTACT INFORMATION IN THIS FORM IS THAT OF THE ENGINEER WHO IS INVESTIGATING THE ACCIDENT. *TR

REAR-ENDED BY DRIVER COMING AT FAST SPEED, SHOVED US INTO CAR IN FRONT OF US TWICE, ALTHOUGH I HAD MY FOOT FIRMLY ON BRAKE. NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. MY RIGHT KNEE WAS RAMMED INTO THE SHARP, HARD PLASTIC AREA UNDER THE STEERING WHEEL, WHICH RESULTED IN A DEEP CUT AND BRUISES WHICH ENDED UP BEING DIAGNOSED AS TORN ACL/MINISCUS AND A FRACTURE. I UNDERWENT SURGERY IN ORDER TO REPAIR MY KNEE. SHORTLY AFTER SURGERY, I RECEIVED A RECALL REGARDING THE AIRBAGS IN THE CAR AND A COMPONENT WAS REPLACED IN THE STEERING COLUMN. I BELIEVE THAT THE AREA UNDER THE STEERING WHEEL OF THE 2010 SUBARU LEGACY IS DANGEROUS AND NEEDS TO BE MODIFIED. *TR

I PURCHASED A NEW 2010 SUBARU LEGACY. WHEN MY WIFE WHO WEIGHS 120 LBS SITS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT THE INDICATOR LIGHT FOR THE AIRBAG THAT DISPLAYS THE SYSTEM ?ON? DOES NOT ALWAYS DISPLAY. IT REMAINS IN THE OFF INDICATION. I BROUGHT IT BACK TO MY DEALER TWICE WHO CLAIMS THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE AIRBAG AND IT IS DESIGNED THAT WAY. DESIGNED TO SOMETIME GO ON AND OTHER TIMES NOT?MAKES NO SENSE. I REPORTED TO SUBARU AMERICA WHO GAVE ME THE SAME STORY AND ASSIGNED A CASE NUMBER . I DID FURTHER RESEARCH ON LINE AND APPEARS THERE ARE OTHER REPORTED INSTANCES, EXACTLY THE SAME SCENARIO WITH 2010 LEGACY AND 2010 OUTBACK. IF FEDERAL LAW REQUIRES PASSENGER AIRBAGS, WHY WOULD SUBARU DESIGN A CAR WHERE THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG DOES NOT ALWAYS GO ON. THEY CLAIM MY WIFE MAY BE TOO LIGHT BUT 120 LBS IS A FULL GROWN ADULT. ALSO DOES NOT EXPLAIN WHY IT SOMETIMES WORKS AND OTHER TIMES NOT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SOMEONE NEEDS TO LOOK INTO THIS. IT IS EITHER A LATENT DEFECT OR A DESIGN FLAW. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 SUBARU LEGACY OUTBACK. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT UNKNOWN SPEEDS, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT WOULD ILLUMINATE. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THE FAILURE FOUR TIMES AND REPLACED THE AIR BAG SENSOR BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE RECENT FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 150 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 4,000. UPDATED 12/6/10 *CN

PASSENGER AIRBAG INDICATOR INTERMITTENTLY LIGHTS BUT, SAYS THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IS OFF MOST OF THE TIME WHEN MY WIFE OR TEENAGE DAUGHTER IS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. I COMPLAINED TO WALSER SUBARU SERVICE CENTER IN MINNEAPOLIS. THEY REPORTED TO ME THAT THEY HAVE HAD SEVERAL COMPLAINTS BUT, NO CORRECTIVE ACTION FROM SUBARU SO, THEY CANNOT FIX IT. *TR

AIR BAG SENSOR / SWITCH FOR FRONT PASSENGER SEAT MALFUNCTIONING. TESTED AND VERIFIED WITH BOTH 125LB AND 135LB ADULT FEMALE. INDICATOR LIGHT SHOWS PASSENGER AIR BAG AS OFF MOST OF THE TIME AND INTERMITTENTLY CHANGES TO ON WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE HAD THE TECHNICIANS BOTH LOOK AT AND VERIFY THE PROBLEM MORE THAN ONCE AND HAVE ALSO RECORDED VIDEO SHOWING MY WIFE SITTING NORMALLY IN THE SEAT WITH THE AIRBAG INDICATOR SHOWING "OFF". SUBARU HAS CONTINUED TO INSIST THAT THE SENSOR IS FUNCTIONING PROPERLY AND HAS EVEN GONE AS FAR AS CLAIMING THAT MY WIFE IS SITTING IMPROPERLY. THEY HAVE TRIED TO "RE-ZERO" THE SENSOR AND THEY CLAIM THAT THE SYSTEM IS SHOWING PROPER FUNCTION. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS NO LONGER A SPECIFIC WEIGHT SPECIFICATION FOR THE SENSOR (80LBS) AND THAT IT USES FUZZY LOGIC (MULTIPLE SOURCES OF DATA) TO DETERMINE THE SWITCH SETTING. I HAVE MADE 4 TRIPS TO THE DEALERSHIP TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM INCLUDING LEAVING MY NEW CAR WITH THEM FOR 7 DAYS ONLY TO HAVE IT RETURNED IN THE SAME CONDITION THEM STATING THAT IT WORKS ACCORDING TO SUBARU'S POLICIES. THEY HAVE ALSO CLAIMED TO RECREATE THE PROBLEM ON TWO OTHER 2010 MODELS OF THE CAR BRINGING THEM TO THE CONCLUSION THAT THE SENSOR IS FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. AT 125 / 135LBS, MY WIFE IS WELL OVER THE 80LB THRESHOLD OFTEN USED TO DETERMINE IF AN AIRBAG SHOULD DEPLOY OR NOT. IT IS THEREFORE DANGEROUS AND POTENTIALLY LIFE-THREATENING FOR MY WIFE TO RIDE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT OF OUR NEW CAR. *TR
