My passenger side tanaka airbag was replaced in april. Within six months of this recall, my passenger side airbag indicator's buzzer and light (error code 26) continue to indicate a passenger in the seat without a passenger present. I feel this is a safety issue because i have been told by my subaru mechanic that the "passenger airbag may or may not deploy". I have found various blogs and forums indicating that i am…

Takata recall we called in may 2016 and were put on a "list" and told it would be 7-8 weeks. We were told not to have anyone sit in the passenger seat of our car, rendering it fairly useless. Now it is november, more than 6 months and we are still on the list and repair is still quoted at 2 months.

Nhtsa recall 15v-323. Subaru notified me of this recall. They suggested no one sit in the passenger seat until the problem is repaired. But they are out of parts and don't know when it can be fixed. In a front or passenger side impact, the passenger air bag could still inflate, without a passenger, thus placing the driver at risk. So what do i do? Stop driving the car until subaru fixes the problem? What can nhtsa…

Takata recall - i have children and my subaru dealer is telling me i am not in a high priority group to have my airbag inflators replaced. I got a notice saying people should not ride in my passenger seat until it is fixed, but this is an impossible scenario for many people including myself and my family.

Takata recall - it is completely unreasonable to get a recall and to have the passenger risking death and for subaru to not prioritize this immediately. People who have ordered back in february have not gotten the replacements. Unacceptable. We are not suppose to use that seat????
