Air Bags · Seat Belts
I was involved in a 4 car accident. I was rear ended by two vehicles behind me which sent me into the vehicle in front of me. My 2019 subaru forester's air bags did not deploy and my seat belt did not restrain me; therefore, i was throw into the windshield support post and suffered a head injury. I am very unhappy with my subaru and pray for others out there with this vehicle! New bern, nc

However, after this interval, if either belt is still unfastened buzzer continues to chime in ever increasing volume.
