Takata recall -- when will parts be available to fix my car's faulty, recalled airbag" this is creating a great deal of stress, inconvenience, and hazard for my family. A reasonable amount of time has passed and takata has not rectified this situation. Millions of people are on the roads with deadly airbags. How will this not be perceived as a regulatory failure"

Takata recall. I received the recall notice from Subaru of America about 2 months ago. Notice said that parts were in short supply, but they would contact me. I waited two months. Heard nothing. Called fitzgerald Subaru, rockville, md. Dealer on April 14, 2016. Service dept. Says that there is a further approximately three month wait. What is the point of a recall if you can't fix the problem within 5 months" what are you doing to keep Subaru's feet to the fire? they are effectively failing to comply with your recall order. Maybe a $1 million fine per day would get them moving"

I have been on the list at my Subaru dealership for replacement for over a month but they have not yet received parts to make repairs. I feel they are doing what they can so I am not complaining about them. But now I get a letter from subaro not to have anyone ride in passenger seat until repairs are made. So now they are apparently covered legally but I can't use my car since I often need to Transport several children at one time. I am sick of hearing the parts are back ordered. This needs to be resolved now with no excuses!!!
The contact owns a 2007 Subaru Outback. The contact stated that the air bag light remained illuminated, which disabled the air bags. The vehicle was taken to a dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The VIN was invalid. The failure mileage was 85,000.
Driver side airbag warning light remains lit after starting vehicle. This is a common issue for 2007 Outbacks due to faulty soldering of the overhead chip.
Airbag sensor has been on and off for some time, but now bleeps almost continually. We took it to the local Subaru dealer (St. Johnsbury, vt) and for approx. $280 they tried to fix it. When this did not work, they said we need to came back and pay a further $500++ to fix this. I understand this is a serious safety issue as the airbag will not deploy. Vehicle has never been in an accident. I have read on-line that the problem is faulty soldering of the overhead chip for the airbags. $780++ seems like a big expense for a safety item that should have a longer life span.
Driver's airbag light is constantly on the dashboard. This will cause airbags to not deploy during a collision. A brief internet search reveals the same issue is ongoing for many 2007 Subaru Outback models. It is believed to be due to faulty soldering of the overhead chip for the airbags. This should be considered as an extremely serious safety incident.
Dashboard airbag light turned on. Airbag safety system is subsequently disabled, even in the event of an accident. Source of problem is traced back to indicator light in the over head console. The warning lights do not light up as they should. The passenger seat belt or off lights do not appear when they should sometimes they are dim and resolve with a light tap or change in ambient temperature. Brief internet search reveals this is common and is the result of faulty solder in the overhead console. Dealership advises replace the entire console at owner expense. Part costs $130, labor is even more. I am not an electrical engineer and have no idea if solders should fail at 8 years. This particular solder is an integral part of the airbag system and renders the vehicle unsafe to drive. Subaru should remedy this with a recall or at least reimburse my cost. I will provide the dealership with a copy of this report.
Airbag light on dash came on and front passenger seat airbag monitor in overhead console failed. The problem was with a faulty printed circuit board in the overhead console, and has since been fixed.
A car stopped in front of me suddenly for a pedestrian, and I rear ended it. My airbag did not deploy and I ended up with a concussion. Having a lot of trouble thinking and sleeping - and finals are next week!
The driver side airbag system sometimes is not active upon starting vehicle. This is indicated by the airbag warning light which is illuminated. The light continues to stay illuminated when the vehicle is driven. The dealer tells me that in this situation (airbag warning light illuminated) the airbag will not deploy in an accident. Numerous posts on the internet confirm this. I consider this a very dangerous and common situation that should be remedied by Subaru through a recall. Updated 09/24/14 updated 02/20/2015
