Consumer Description

PASSENGER AIR BAG DOES NOT REGISTER AS 'ON' WHEN A PASSENGER IS PRESENT. EVEN A 15 POUND BACKPACK WILL CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO SHOW THAT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IS OFF. IT NEVER COMES ON. IT'S GOTTEN TO THE POINT WHERE I WILL NOT ALLOW PEOPLE TO RIDE IN THE FRONT OF MY CAR WITH ME, BECAUSE I AM WORRIED THEY MAY BE SERIOUSLY INJURED IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. WHY HAVE SUCH A SPACIOUS VEHICLE IF ITS OCCUPANTS AREN'T SAFE? ALSO, THE RECALLED SENSOR IN THE 2012 IMPREZA CARS IS THE SAME TECHNOLOGY IN THE 2013 MODELS. WHY HAS THIS NOT BEEN TAKEN CARE OF? *DT
