NHTSA Complaint #11316680 — 2014 SUBARU FORESTER

***SRS AIRBAG SYSTEM NEEDS TO BE CHECKED*** THIS WARNING HAS HAS OCCURRED AT LEAST 5-6X'S NOW IN THE LAST TWO MONTHS. EVERY OCCURRENCE THERE HAS BEEN A PASSENGER SEATED AND OCCURS IMMEDIATELY AS I GO FROM PARK TO DRIVE. A RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR 2015-2018 FORESTERS EQUIPPED WITH HEATED SEATS DUE TO AN AIRBAG SENSOR DEFECT. DETAILS OF THE RECALL ARE IDENTICAL TO THE PROBLEMS ON MY 2014 FORESTER. IT'S THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG HAVING ISSUES AND MY PASSENGER SEAT IS HEATED. I HAVE TWO CHILDREN AND OFTEN TRANSPORT MY MOTHER TO MEDICAL APPOINTMENTS. WHEN THE WARNING MESSAGE ILLUMINATES THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND $1200 TO FIX A SAFETY ISSUE ON A VEHICLE 5-6YEARS OLD IS ABSURD. THE INVESTIGATION WHICH WAS DONE FOR PASSENGER AIRBAG SENSOR RECALL WUM-98 NEEDS TO BE REVISITED AND I GUARANTEE IT WILL FIND THE NUMBER OF AFFECTED VEHICLES WILL GROW.
