Description of the problem | My passenger airbag light go on and off to signal if the passenger seat airbag system is activated or not. Dealer diagnosis is that the sensor in the seat is bad. The replacement part and labor is over $1000 because it is integrated into the seat. I called subaru and they are willing to pay for half, however this is an unacceptable solution. The airbag system on such a new car should be fully functioning and subaru should take full responsibility for such a problem as the sensor in the seat since they made it so expensive to replace due to the integration into the seat, you can't just replace that one sensor. |
