The dashboard light says that the airbag is OFF, while it is occupied by a large teenager (over 100lbs) in the Right Front passenger seat. Teenager was buckled into moving vehicle when this concern was observed. Front Right passenger airbag has never been deactivated by owner/driver. Took car to be inspected at a Subaru dealer on 13Aug24, but Subaru techs unable to replicate problem at time of visit and reported no known recall notice for this problem. Since inspection, problem has reoccurred randomly.
Hit a rather large bump, no damage to car. Side curtain air bags deployed and scratched my neck pretty bad. I feel that the impact of the bump did not even close to justify a deployment. I was driving at about 40mph
Intersection of airport blvd and scott St. In houston. Between 545 to 6 pm was the incident. Weather was perfect. Between 70 to 75 degrees. Bright and clear conditions. I was coming from the East side of airport blvd towards the South side of scott. This road was a 35 mph road. As I turned left seeing that the other side was clear, I started moving and I got hit by a Dodge duranngo who was speeding up at maybe 60-70 mph. I survived the accident but based on preliminary assessment, my car was declared totaled. The impact was so strong. The other driver were given various citations by the police and was determined to be at fault. He was also driving without an insurance and a license. I however felt aggrieved knowing that my car was totaled and I suffered minor injuries. I however was shocked that despite the strong impact of the collision, none of the airbags were deployed. I can provide photos if needed. The impacted side was on the front side and as I was navigating Subaru's website, it looks like they had recall of their 2004 to 2005 vehicles for issues of air bags not deploying on the right side. This is where I absorbed a strong impact on my car and I have a suspicion that I have a similar case. Subaru crosstrek 2013 was I think their first release of this model so there are not many studies of the performance of this vehicle. I demand for an investigation. My accident could have turned out fatal.
