“We bought our 2015 Subaru Impreza from a used car dealer (we are second owner) in February 2020 with 55K miles on it. On our test drive, we noticed the air bag said it was off even with a passenger in the car. We agreed to purchase the vehicle upon repair”

“Passenger air bag will randomly turn off with passenger riding. This is well know issue with subaru and they still have not sent a recall. With this issue being so wide spread I do not think the dealership should charge over 600 dollars for this repair”

“PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG CONSISTENTLY TURNS OFF WHEN THERE IS A PASSENGER IN THE FRONT SEAT. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT BOTH HIGH AND LOW SPEEDS - HAVE NOTICED IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME WHEN THE PASSENGER HAS DAMP CLOTHING ON”

“My windshield cracked on its own, with no cause, chip, etc”

“Power Steering failed, extremely hard to turn steering wheel, EPS Light on dash illuminated. Luckily happened in driveway. Thinking back steering seemed odd last week was less effort to turn left as opposed to turning right”

“I WAS DRIVING AS I NORMALLY DO AND PARKED MY CAR. WHEN I GO TO START IT AGAIN THE POWER STEERING LIGHT ON MY DASH BOARD LIGHTS UP AND I CAN'T MOVE MY STEERING WHEEL AT ALL”

“AFTER TURNING THE STEERING SIGNIFICANTLY TO THE RIGHT (FULL LOCK IS NOT NECESSARY), THE CAR THEN *OFTEN* PULLS SIGNIFICANTLY TO THE LEFT. THE SAME THING *SOMETIMES* HAPPENS AFTER A LEFT TURN”
