2004 Subaru Outback airbags complaints

Takata recall - I was notified of the recall in july of 2016. There has been no effort by the manufacturer to provide a remedy in the form of the replacement airbag. The recall notice stated I should not allow anyone to ride in the passenger seat until the recall work is complete. This is an unreasonable solution for a problem with a passenger vehicle as it prevents my use of the vehicle as designed and as purchased. The manufacturer must be required to commit to completing the recalls in a timely manner, such as 60 to 90 days.
"takata recall" received a letter telling me the air bags are going to be replaced, "do not let passengers use the seat", no date for replacement, no parts in stock, does this absolve the company of any liability? Cant take any trips with more than 2 passengers that would have to sit in the rear seats? What options are left for me to use my vehicle for taking my family anywhere???
Takata recall: remedy not to drive car with passengers until replacement parts are available is one that has me wondering if I need to seriously consider getting rid of the car and get another that I can use. Can we be provided at least with some sort of estimation of 'when' parts are forecasted to be available?

Subaru has issued a recall on passenger airbags (the federal safety agency recall no. 16v‑359). The parts are not available, there is no schedule of when they may be, and the vehicle owner is instructed to not allow passengers in the front seat. This is an unacceptable, unsafe solution. In addition, the website for information listed does not work. They are unable to remedy my vehicle in a reasonable amount of time.
I cannot determine if my vehicle is on the tikata airbag recall list. The dealer says it isn't. The federal safety agency site says it is, the VIN shows it isn't specifically. My question is if the 2004 outbacks are included in the recall or if the federal safety agency info is wrong....please advise.....updated 10/02/15*bf updated 12/28/15

My subaru has the takata air bag and there has been no recall. Subaru has not responded to my request to replace this dangerous, defective air bag system.
The federal safety agency web site reflects my vehicle identification number as one listed in the air bag recall alert. Checking with my dealer's service manager at goldstein subaru, in albany, n.y. And he assures me my vehicle is not subject to the recall. Last week I sent two e-mails to subaru requesting clarification and have received no reply. Please let me know what in god's name is going on. I have had this car for 10 and 1/2 years and it is in very good shape. My wife will not sit in the front passengers seat until this is cleared up. '
Subaru has not responded to my request for replacement of the defective takata air bag in my car.
S10 appropriate handling- letter to the secretary from constituent re requesting a national recall on all cars that have or may have defective takata airbags.
With your approval, I had an aoi electrical air bag switch installed on my 2004 subaru outback. The air bag error light will not reset and subaru has informed them that all air bags may be immobilized as well as the seat belt tensioners. I cannot seem to get aoielectrical to attend to the problem.
2002 l.l. Bean outback accelerated uncontrollably, making the vehicle vibrate. Vehicle went up over parking barriers and shrubbery and rolled over. *kb the air bags did not deploy during the accident. The consumer complained of body pain, but refused medical treatment. The police officer stated in his report that the vehicle was found in the reverse position. The consumer stated she never took her foot off the brake. The consumer and her husband had experienced problems prior to the accident. The consumer experienced a hesitation in shifting and variation in engine speed.
My 2004 subaru outback comes equipped with front side airbags. With only 900 miles on my car, I was "t-boned" by a ford explorer under full acceleration. We were struck on the drivers side with enough impact to cause my wife, in the passenger seat, to hit her head on the passenger side door post causing a concussion. Subaru claims that the side airbags performed correctly by not deploying. Total damage to date including drive train replacement parts is $9000. It is my understanding that the federal safety agency has not tested the side impact bags on the subaru models. If that is true, how can subaru claim that the bags responded correctly?
