What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 subaru impreza. The contact stated while having the vehicle inspected at a local mechanic, the mechanic informed the contact that the wiring harness between the fan motor and climate control fan speed switch burned out and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 107,000.
My passenger airbag sensor never turns on. Even if I have a passenger in the seat, the light still remains off. I know that the 2012 models used the same occupancy sensor as the 2013 impreza but the 2013 models haven't been recalled. This doesn't make any sense because they're the same exact models so they should also be recalled so they can be fixed. The seat has never been wet and I haven't been in any accidents, so this is a faulty occupancy sensor.
