2020 Subaru Outback Air bags Problems

“On december 18,2020 I was crossing an intersection. I was traveling maybe 5-10 miles an hour through a green light. An automobile struck me perpendicular at 30-40 MPH. The impact was almost entirely taken by the drivers door. The speed was according to the driver of the vehicle and witnesses. The car was struck so violently that the tires on the passenger side were scuffed on the sidewall from them rolling under the car. I hit my head on the drivers window from the impact. I was wearing my seatbelt. No airbags deployed, no sidecurtains deployed. …”

“The battery started failing after less than 8000 miles on the car that is less than a year old. It left us stranded multiple times and jump start was required. Once upon jump starting the car the power steering was not functional. Multiple times the airbag failure indicator stayed on for the entire trip. Initially it was not clear to me what is going on as the whole electrical system went haywire and the car was producing a clattering noise instead of the usual starting noise. Eventually I tested the battery and it became evident that it failed. …”

“The airbag light came on in my 2020 Subaru Outback in May 2021. I’ve had the vehicle to Reliable Subaru service department four times for repair and each time they were unable to repair the airbag system. The front passenger seat reacts like someone is in the seat even when it is empty. The problem is if a child is in the seat, the airbag will deploy most likely in an impact. The car is available for inspection at anytime.”

“I received a safety recall notice (Campaign Number: 24V227000 / Subaru Code: WRA24) for my Subaru Outback. I contacted multiple Subaru dealerships in my area, and they all told me that the repair parts are not available and there is no clear ETA for when they will arrive. This recall relates to a safety issue, and I am concerned that my vehicle may not be safe to drive, especially at highway speeds. Every time I follow up, I receive the same response: “No parts available, but we can order for you. I am wait for this for 1 year. …”

“I have a occupancy sensor error which has turned off the airbags on the passenger seat. I looked up the issue and found an open recall with Subaru regarding this issue. I spoke with multiple case managers to resolve the issue. They said they have reported the issue to NHTSA but it is not an active recall because they have yet to find a solution. So they have no responsibility to fix the issue at this time. They are unwilling to provide me with an alternate option than driving my car with the exact issue they issued the recall for.”
