What owners wrote
While driving at 35 MPH consumer's vehicle struck another vehicle and the air bag did not deploy. Driver sustained injuries.
Takata recall: the passenger side air bag needs to be replaced. Subaru have told me that they do not have the parts needed for this recall. My wife and I are over seventy and I need to use this vehicle with her in the passenger seat. If replacement is currently impossible, subaru needs to provide me with a loaner.
