    Over the last year, this vehicle has had two distinct takata airbag recalls. I have received notices from our dealership and from subaru corporate, attached. I am living in bosnia as a us diplomat. There is not a subaru dealership in this country. I accomplished the last recall, with significant logistical difficulty, with the help of the subaru dealership in croatia. However, there is a current open recall for the…

    I was driving at about 65 miles/hour on highway 17 near apalachin, ny, when a deer jumped from the right side and hit the front of my car. Both front airbags deployed. Immediately, the gas released from the airbags completely fogged the windshield reducing visibility zero, so i could not see where i was going during the braking period. Fortunately, i only shifted to the other line and there were no other cars…

    As part of the takata recall, we had the airbags on our 2014 subaru outback replaced by the dealer on may 8, 2019. On may 22, 2019, we were sitting at a city stoplight when we were hit head on by another driver going 40-50 mph. In spite of a direct hit to the front airbag sensors, the airbags did not deploy on our 2014 subaru outback. When we notified the dealer who did the replacement of the failed airbags, they…

    Takata recall received recall notice week of 3/11/2019. Called subaru dealer [redacted]) as instructed in letter on 3/23/2019. Informed that they would be unable to perform recall service until 9/9/2019, even though they *do* have slots open for other work. This delay (almost 6 months) seems unreasonable.

    Takata recall - my local dealer (koppel subaru - queens, ny) cannot replace my passenger airbag per the recall until june 14, 2019 - the earliest they can fix - which is completely insane since i made the appointment today on march 20th so i technically am being asked to wait almost 3 months to get it fixed.

    We have had three accidents involving the same thing. You can't seem to slow the car down enough to stop it. Two of the times, we have pulled into a parking place,going at a low speed,and when you step on the brake,the car accelerates and jumps forward instead of stopping. Also the air bags doesn't come on.

    The seat sensor for the passenger side is not working in cold weather, causing the airbag to be deactivated. The seatbelt indicator signal beeps regardless of whether someone is sitting in the seat with the seatbelt on or no one is sitting in the seat. This happens when the vehicle is in motion and happens any time the temperature in the vehicle is below freezing.
