Takata recall subaru is providing a loaner while the repair takes place. When i arrived at bertera subaru, in west springfield, ma. For the scheduled repair they told me that i had to put a credit card "on file" so that they could give me the loaner. I am placed in a situation of losing a day's pay or kkeping my passengers in mortal danger.. Can they discriminate against the poor in administering a federally…

Red airbag light . Dealer diagnosis code b1650. Response is to replace the bottom part of passenger seat. 1840.00 repair. This happened about a year after they replaced the airbag related to takata recall. Soa has offered 1000.00 'in good will gesture ' . Saw a recall in 2015 for impreza wagons throwing off b1650 code. Was told by soa not to drive my outback as this is a safety issue. I totally agree, but also think…

Takata recall dealerships are not able to offer an appointment with 6 weeks of this recall. There are long waits for service appointments and thus subaru is remedying this problem in a reasonable amount of time. I called and the soonest they can service my vehicle is 6 weeks (with reports that other dealerships are much longer). This is unacceptably long when the recall advises that no one can sit in the passenger…

Takata recall. I received the recall notice. It states in bold lettering to not let passengers sit in the front seat until this is fixed or risk death or serious injury. I called the dealership and was told the repair could not be fixed until september as subaru is not supplying the parts until then. Does subaru really expect me to not have passengers in my vehicle until september? How can they issue this warning…

Takata recall received notice of this recall on march 16. Contacted selling dealer (lou fusz subaru, st. Peters, mo) on march 18 and the soonest dealer would schedule the recall repair is on june 12. A wait of three months is not a reasonable amount of time to perform this recall repair.

Takata recall i received notice of the recall on 3/15 and called for an appointment today (3/18). I was told the first appointment is 6/11-3 months out. How am i to drive a vehicle with my wife and kids if we cannot use the passenger seat for 3 months-absurd. The notice says how dangerous it could be if the passenger side airbag inflates- what does subaru expect its owners to do for 3 months while we wait? My dealer…

We got a recall notice on friday, march 15, 2018 concerning the passenger side airbag that said no one should ride in that seat until fixed. We immediately callled fitgerald subaru in rockville and were told they didn't have the proper parts and we could not schedule a time until may! This is absurd to issue a safety recall and not be able to fix it. Recall notice txb18; nhtsa id: 19v008

Takata recall i called a local subaru dealer, ladin subaru in thousand oaks, ca, multiple times regarding this recall. I left messages each time, and, each holding wait time was longer than 20 minutes to speak with an agent to set up an appointment for a recall service. They are accepting other appointments without any trouble, yet not the recall cases. If it is a safety-related recall, like this one, then it should…
