Takata recall: i own a 2010 subaru outback and received a letter from subaru regarding the nhtsa campaign number: 16v358000 (air bags). I spoke to my local subaru dealer (in new london, ct) and they informed me that the part to do the repair was not yet available, and that they had no estimated time as to when the part would be available. I believe that subaru has exceeded a reasonable amount of time to arrange for…

It is completely unacceptable that a serious recall such as this does not yet have a remedy. I received notice months ago and still i have to drive around chauffeuring all of my family members as it is not safe to ride in the front seat-- completely impractical for a family and i'm assuming most subaru owners have one (that's why i got one). I am very frustrated that there is not a solution. By the time there is…

Passenger air bag sensor system is flawed. The air bag remains "off" when i am in the passenger seat. It will only show "on" when additional pressure is applied to the seat, which is unnatural to how a passenger will sit in the vehicle and does not offer protection in an accident. The seat back and seat are positioned as recommended in the owner's manual. There is nothing under the seat. Local dealership looked at…

The passenger airbag is disabled when there is a passenger. On a trip to ga with my wife, who weighs 135 lbs, sitting in the passenger seat, the air bag light will indicate 'not enabled'. At times it will display enabled, then disabled all while driving. Shifting in the seat doesn't do anything. In summary sometimes its on, sometimes not. We took this to the dealer and their response is they were unable to duplicate…
