Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“I spilled 3-4 ounces of coffee on my front passenger seat. A short time later, the srs airbag warning light appeared on the dash and my passenger seat would no longer recognize that a passenger was seated in the passenger seat (passenger airbag off light would not switch to on when a passenger was seated). I called my local Subaru dealership and I was told that the passenger sensor in the passenger seat was very sensitive and that moisture could interfere with it and disable the passenger airbag until the sensor dries. Apparently this happens frequently. …”
