2019 Subaru Forester airbags complaints

When car is in motion the passenger airbag off light remains illuminated. This started intermittently yesterday, on my 4th day of owning the new car! The subaru alert system also notified me that something wasn't working and that it would require a service call.
2019 forester with approximately 600 miles has passenger air bag light constantly on. Passenger sat in seat, light did not go out. Subaru service did not address the problem - or correct the problem. Researching this - it has been a problem for the past 3 years. It's also a problem on the 2019 models. Investigation needs to be expanded to 2019 models.
I was involved in a 4 car accident. I was rear ended by two vehicles behind me which sent me into the vehicle in front of me. My 2019 subaru forester's air bags did not deploy and my seat belt did not restrain me; therefore, I was throw into the windshield support post and suffered a head injury. I am very unhappy with my subaru and pray for others out there with this vehicle! New bern, nc
We own a 2019 subaru forester sport. The front passenger airbag continually fails to register our daughter when she is sat in the seat with the seat belt buckled. She weighs approximately 100 pounds, is 5' tall and 13 years old. The airbag detects her about 50% of the time. If we add additional weight to her, such as my purse it will sometimes detect her but not always. We have brought it into the dealership service department and they say it is functioning as designed but will not tell us at what weight the airbag detection system should be triggered. The vehicle is stationary when we experience this problem.
In an accident involving front end to other car rear end on an interstate highway, the airbag system didn't deploy. The engine then caught fire in the right front of the engine. The entire car burned. Fortunately no injury to driver or passenger.
I was driving my 2019 subaru forester on the interstate when a car stopped in front of me. I attempted to brake, but did end up rear ending the car in front of me, which pushed her into the car in front of her. The impact was at least 30-35 MPH and the car is totaled. Airbags failed to deploy.
