Consumer Description
COLD RAINY MORNING, I STARTED THE CAR FOR THE FIRST TIME WITH NO ONE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON, THE PASSENGER SEATBELT LIGHT IS ON AND CAR IS DINGING LIKE SOMEONE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT IS NOT WEARING A SEAT BELT. DOES NOT TURN OFF WHEN SEAT BELT IS CLIPPED. I TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAY IT'S A BAD ELECTROSTATIC CAPACITANCE SENSOR ODS. THE 'PART' AKA REPLACING THE WHOLE SEAT IS $900. SAME YEAR OF SUBARU THAT THEY RECALLED THIS PART IN THE IMPREZA. NHTSA RECALL NO. : 15V-419
