A LONGER VERSION OF THE FOLLOWING LETTER WAS SENT TO SUBARU ON 1/3/2012: THE PURPOSE OF THIS LETTER IS TO FILE AN OFFICIAL COMPLAINT REGARDING THE OPERATION OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG FOR OUR 2011 SUBARU OUTBACK AND TO REQUEST YOUR HELP IN RESOLVING THIS PROBLEM. WE PURCHASED OUR OUTBACK IN SEPTEMBER 2010 FROM STEVEN'S CREEK SUBARU IN SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA. THE AIRBAG SENSOR HAS WORKED INTERMITTENTLY SINCE WE FIRST TOOK OWNERSHIP OF THE VEHICLE. SPECIFICALLY, IT TURNS ON AND OFF FREQUENTLY WHEN MY WIFE (APPROXIMATELY 120 POUNDS) IS SEATED IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. OVER THE PAST YEAR, WE HAVE MADE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS TO THE SERVICE TECHNICIANS WITH NO RESOLUTION. WE HAVE SERIOUS CONCERNS FOR MY WIFE'S SAFETY AND IT IS UN-EXCUSABLE THAT SUBARU DOES NOT HAVE A RESOLUTION TO THIS LIFE-SAFETY ISSUE. I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED THAT SUBARU DID NOT DISCLOSE THIS ISSUE BEFORE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. I HAVE PROVIDED SUBARU WITH A SERIES OF EMAIL CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN THE DEALERSHIP AND MYSELF REGARDING THE ISSUE FROM LATE 2010 AND EARLY 2011. IN ONE OF THE EMAILS I PROVIDED LINKS TO YOUTUBE VIDEOS DOCUMENTING THE ISSUE. WE WAITED UNTIL THIS TIME TO FILE OUR FORMAL COMPLAINT AS WE WERE HOPEFUL THAT STEVEN'S CREEK SUBARU COULD HELP US TO RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM. UNFORTUNATELY THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO RESOLVE OUR CONCERNS AND HAVE DIRECTED US TO CONTACT SUBARU HEADQUARTERS DIRECTLY. *TR
