Passenger side air bag came on with no passenger in the seat. it would happen with the vehicle stationary or moving. sometimes it would reset on its own but after a few days the complete airbag system warning has come on and won't go away. found out online that it is common problem with the subaru forester and the manufacturer needs to put to task as they are definitely not doing enough and are playing with the lives of people. when i contacted a local dealership (subaru of grapevine) they outright wanted money for diagnosing a problem they knew was preexisting. this clearly reflects the attitude of the dealership and the manufacturer towards this serious issue.
Recall notice via us mail, also read about another recall that will be coming, i believe the boxer engine.
Called dealer about recall. they stated no fix was available. when i asked when it would be they said they would have more information in late december (recall date was oct 3). at that point the fix would not be available but they could tell me if and when it might be. this does not seem timely for a life threatening situation. note dealer was professional. my issue is with subaru corporation. nhtsa recall number is 19v701000. manufacturer recall number is wum98. recall is for non functioning airbag for passenger side.

The airbag fault light comes on steadily.
On october 4, 2019 my car was parked and the passenger rear bumper was hit and damaged by a school bus. my car has been in the shop 4 times to get fixed and it is still not fixed. the bsd/rcta sensors are not working. the dealership has "fixed" this issue 4 times now and i am taking it back to the dealership for a 5th time.
Purchased our 2017 subaru forester on 09/24/16. on 09/05/17 the warning light on dashboard came on warning that the passenger airbags were not functioning. this happened when a passenger was in the passenger seat and the car was on a highway. the warning light has come on 40-50 times when the car is on the road and a passenger is in the passenger seat. the car was brought into dealer and i was told multiple times codes were not there so no problem. we were told do not place anything electronic near the seat. told we had spilled liquid on seat and seat dirty. nothing has ever been spilled on the seats. i find it troubling that a major safety system of a vehicle is malfunctioning on a regular basis and the subaru is not actively trying to fix the vehicles. i went into dealer today on 3 oct 2019 to again have the problem looked at only to be told that the car is no longer under warranty and they can order part. i have searched online and it is interesting to see that so many other subaru ...
The passenger air-bag is malfunctioning as the gel layer in the seat is malfunctioning.
The passenger side air bag sensor does not always know when an adult is seated in the front passenger seat. the passenger side airbag will remain off even when an adult is seated with the seat belt on. the airbag light will light up on the dash randomly but clears once the vehicle is shut off. this occurs while the vehicle is in motion and is concerning as the front passenger airbag would not deploy in a crash.
2017 subaru forester with 45,000 miles - air bag sensor went out unexpectedly (as shown by a red airbag light on the dashboard) air bag would not deploy if the car were to get into an accident even when there was a person in the passenger seat of the car. light would indicate that there was an issue while driving at any speed. light would turn off on occasion and then turn back on, even with no change in weight on the seat, indicating that the sensor was faulty. nothing was spilled on the seat where the sensor is located nor should there be any other reason that the sensor should stop working at only 45,000 miles. this was purely an equipment malfunction.
My sms manual airbag warning came on and told me to refer to the manual. i saw my passenger airbag was no longer on, even though i had a passenger in the front seat belted in. i noticed this seems to be a common issue, one that is being investigated. for a 2017 vehicle, this should not be happening.
My subaru forrester 2017 airbag sensor came on for friday and saturday september 20 and 21 while driving and stationery in my driveway.took it to the dealer and no one was available to perform a diagnostic test. schedule this monday 23 and the sensor required to one. cost $961.00. called subaru headquarters and asked about my extended warranty and does not cover. however since this was not my fault, they will do the repairs at no charge. awaiting for parts to be delivered so that i can bring my car in for repairs.
Passenger airbag warning light comes on/ goes off intermittently. the light warns us that the airbag is off despite having a passenger in the seat. i have seen online that many people are having this problem so i wanted to log our issue with nhtsa as well. the vehicle has never deployed it airbags nor been in a front end collision.
