Consumer Description

I HAVE BEEN HAVING AIRBAG PROBLEMS WITH THE PASSENGER SEAT. WHENEVER THERE IS A PASSENGER SITTING, THE AMBER INDICATOR LIGHT IS IN THE 'OFF' POSITION AND THERE IS A RED AIRBAG LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF THE PASSENGER IS DRY OR DAMP, IF THE CAR IS STATIONARY OR DRIVING ON THE STREET/HIGHWAY. SOMETIMES, WHEN THERE IS NO PASSENGER AND I PLACE MY CELL PHONE ON THE SEAT, THE AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT TURNS ON AS IF THERE IS A PASSENGER. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. NICE TO KNOW THAT SUBARU CARES SO MUCH ABOUT 'SAFETY'. THE 2012 WAS RECALLED, PLEASE RECALL THE 2013 ALSO BEFORE SOMEONE DIES OR HAS A SERIOUS INJURY!
