We just purchased a 1993 subaru impreza 4 door sedan. Yesterday, november 27, 2004 while we were stopped at a traffic light, we were hit by another vehicle which was traveling about 30 MPH. With my foot on the brake, our subaru was propelled 5-15 feet. The air bag never deployed. My wife an I required emergency medical attention. I just noticed that NHTSA issued a recall on defective subaru airbags in 1994, but there isn't even an option to search for a subaru problems in 1993.
Consumer's vehicle was entering the intersection when another vehicle hit it on passenger's side in rear. Vehicle spun around & stopped. Driver's side air bag did not deploy. Vehicle was totaled by insurance company. Driver treated at emergency room for injuries.
Consumer was driving in a parking lot the driver side air bag deployed . Tt a tow hook located on the frame of the vehicle came in contact with the parking lot causing the air bag to deploy, dealer initally refused to look at the vehicle because they claim the deployment was accident related, they also refused to aaume any financial responsibility, consumer was advised that one of the sensors located above the tow hook was more senistive than it should have been.
