Description of the problem | My subaru has experienced a malfunction of the passenger air bag restraint system since july of 2017. I took the vehicle to the dealer where i purchased it in 2016, joseph subaru in florence, ky on august 2, 2017. The technician diagnosed a switch malfunction under the passenger seat. The service manager assured me that the part would be ordered and the vehicle would be scheduled for repair. After three weeks with no response, i called joseph subaru to ask about the status. He assured me me that the part had been ordered on august 2 and that i could expect the part to be available after one month. The part was never made available. I contacted subaru of america on october 2, 2017 to register a complaint. I got no response. I contacted subaru electronically on october 23, 2017. I received a claim number sr #:1-27120984562. It is now december 6, 2017 and i have received no repair and no clarification. No one has made any effort to correct the fault. It is a hazard to me and any riders in my vehicle. |
