This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The contact owns a 2012 Subaru Impreza. While driving 55 mph, the passenger side air bag warning indicator illuminated while the front passenger seat was occupied. The contact also stated that the vehicle was repaired per NHTSA campaign number: 15V419000 (air bags). The vehicle was taken to Subaru of corvallis (located at 800 nw 5th St, corvallis, or 97330, (541) 754-1515) where it was diagnosed that the occupant detection system needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 102,000.
The airbag sensor does not detect the front seat passenger during travel. The passesger airbag display is on at the start but then switches to off while the car is moving, after around 20 minutes or more of driving. So far, restarting the car has put the passenger airbag back on, but this requires the driver to find a safe place to stop and restart the car. This happened twice in June, once in July, and now twice this week (beginning of September). In June and July we were on an interstate going 70 mph. This week we were driving in town at 40 mph. The car was moving straight at the time. The seat was not wet.
There is a safety issue with the occupant detection system. When there is a passenger in the front right seat the airbag sign will say passenger airbag off. This will happen when the car is moving or stationary.
