    When car is in motion the passenger airbag off light remains illuminated. This started intermittently yesterday, on my 4th day of owning the new car! The subaru alert system also notified me that something wasn't working and that it would require a service call.

    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

    Air Bags

    2019 forester with approximately 600 miles has passenger air bag light constantly on. Passenger sat in seat, light did not go out. Subaru service did not address the problem - or correct the problem. Researching this - it has been a problem for the past 3 years. It's also a problem on the 2019 models. Investigation needs to be expanded to 2019 models.

    I was driving my 2019 subaru forester on the interstate when a car stopped in front of me. I attempted to brake, but did end up rear ending the car in front of me, which pushed her into the car in front of her. The impact was at least 30-35 mph and the car is totaled. Airbags failed to deploy.*jb
