NHTSA Complaint #11118550 — 2013 SUBARU IMPREZA

I REALLY FEEL MY 2013 IMPREZA SHOULD FALL INTO THE TAKATA RECALL. I MADE SURE TO CHECK MY VEHICLE DIDN'T QUALIFY, BUT IT APPEARS TO BE DOING SIMILAR THINGS PRESENTED FOR THOSE CURRENTLY IN THE RECALL. THE FIRST TIME I HAVE PROOF OF MY AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT WAS 7.4.2016 AT 45,896 MILES. AT THE TIME, I WAS THE ONLY PERSON IN THE VEHICLE. WHEN I WENT TO THE LOCAL SUBARU DEALER TO HAVE IT CHECKED, THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T CHECK IT UNLESS THE LIGHT WAS LIT (WHICH IT WAS NOT) AND SUGGESTED THE SEAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN WET. MOST RECENTLY, I HAVE HAD A FRONT PASSENGER IN MY VEHICLE AND THE INDICATOR LIGHT HAS COME ON AND THE AIR BAG LIGHT SWITCHED TO OFF AT LEAST 3 TIMES IN THE LAST TWO WEEKS. I PURCHASED MY SUBARU FOR THE SAFETY AND THIS IS A HUGE ISSUE IF THE AIRBAG DOES NOT DEPLOY IF FOR SOME REASON I GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. JUST CONTINUING DRIVING WITH THIS LIGHT ON CAUSED ME A GREAT DEAL OF ANXIETY FOR FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN. I LIKE TO THINK I AM A GOOD DRIVER, BUT I COULDN'T LIVE WITH MYSELF IF A DEFECT OF MY VEHICLE WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR LOSING A PRECIOUS PASSENGER. PLEASE TRY TO REVIEW MORE OF THESE CASES AND UPDATE THE RECALL LIST. FOR THE FIRST DOCUMENTED INSTANCE, THE VEHICLE WAS IN A DRIVEWAY AND PARKED WITHOUT A PASSENGER. THESE LAST COUPLE OF INCIDENCES HAVE BEEN BOTH PARKED AND IN MOTION ALONG ROADWAYS RANGING FROM 50-70MPH.
