Description of the problem | In early may 2019, the vehicle started giving airbag warnings and disabling the front passenger airbag when the front passenger seat was occupied. I reported the problem to my subaru dealer's service department when i took it in for routine service a couple weeks later. It took a month to get an appointment to have the warning diagnosed. Finally they did the analysis and told me the passenger seat sensor had failed, and claimed it was because the seat got wet (it didn't). After i complained to management they comp'd the repair and replaced the front passenger seat cushion at the end of june. The problem hasn't recurred. |
