Consumer Description

HI, I'M WRITING YOU TO TO INFORM YOU OF A SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE 05-09 SUBARU OUTBACK AIRBAG SYSTEM. THE PASSENGER AIRBAG NOTIFICATION BOARD, LOCATED IN THE DOME LIGHT ASSEMBLY IS ASSEMBLED WITH POOR QUALITY SOLDERS BETWEEN THE BOARD AND DIODES, THIS RESULTS IN FAILURE OF THE BOARD, THIS IS OFTEN SEEN IN LOWER TEMPERATURES WHEN THE SOLDERS CRACK DUE TO THERMAL CONTRACTION. WHEN ONE OF THESE SOLDERS FAILS, IT CAUSES 2 ISSUES, 1, THE INDICATOR LIGHTS DON'T COME ON CORRECTLY, AND 2, THE ENTIRE AIRBAG SYSTEM IS DISABLED. THIS IS AN ISSUE KNOWN TO THE SUBARU OWNERS COMMUNITY. MY DEALER WANTS ABOUT $260 TO FIX IT. THANKS.
