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 refused to comment.
2014 Subaru Outback airbags complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 38 of 38, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Passenger airbag light and warning tone sound when occupant is in seat and car is moving. Been to the dealer 6 times. The seat belt latch was replaced, occupant detection sensor replaced, seat was replaced. Sensors recalibrated by dealer. Problem still persists and we're now told it can't be fixed. Dealer will not say if the airbags will or will not deploy in an accident. Car is essentially undriveable as the warning tone is constant and passenger restraint and safety system is compromised.

Takata recall received recall notice week of 3/11/2019. Called subaru dealer (206‑782‑7475) 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.

My 2014 subaru outback has been recalled "takata recall". Unfortunately, subaru of america failed to notify me of this recall and when I inquired at the local dealer, jim keras subaru of memphis, I was told that it was not their responsibility to notify me of anything...in other words, too bad, so sad, we don't give a hoot! Very disappointing response! And to make matters worse, the dealership cannot make to requisite repairs until 08 may. In the meantime, I'll be driving at my own risk.

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.

Takata recall
"takata recall"
Takata recall: I was never informed from subaru inc., or the dealer of any recall subject to this vehicle. Is this auto on any recall list?
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.
Airbag alarm setoff and blinking whether someone occupies the passenger seat or not. Can not turn the alarm off
The seat sensor for the passenger side is not working 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. It is failing to sense any weight. I bought this car brand new on 9/9/13 and this should not be faulty.
I was hit by a 1979 dodge pickup that ran a red light on 6th street while I was driving 30 MPH headed north on jackson street in topeka, kansas. It impacted my subaru on the passenger side in the area of the front fender and front door. Upon impact, none of my airbags deployed nor did my seat belt restrain me. I hit the steering wheel with my chest....updated 12/03/15 *bf updated 04/25/18 *jb
The passenger airbag light went off when no one was in the seat. The dealer said all systems were fine and that this might be due to the seat and sensor being wet or damp. This is not true as it is a problem at least twice a week now. I will return again to the dealer but have no faith in them or the car. I also wonder if the airbag will work in a real accident. I would like to ditch the car as an hour and a half ride with a chime going off is crazy and of concern.
With a passenger in the front seat and the seat belt fastened, the seat belt warning chime and light activated and the passenger air bag was deactivated. In a later incident, the passenger moved to the back seat and the seat belt warning chime and light continued to be activated with no one in the passenger seat (buckling or unbuckling the seat belt made no difference.
