| With your approval, i had an aoi electrical air bag switch installed on my 2004 subaru outback. the air bag error light will not reset and subaru has informed them that all air bags may be immobilized as well as the seat belt tensioners. i cannot seem to get aoielectrical to attend to the problem. *tr | |||

| My 2004 subaru outback comes equipped with front side airbags. with only 900 miles on my car, i was t-boned by a ford explorer under full acceleration. we were struck on the drivers side with enough impact to cause my wife, in the passenger seat, to hit her head on the passenger side door post causing a concussion. subaru claims that the side airbags performed correctly by not deploying. total damage to date including drive train replacement parts is $9000. it is my understanding that the nhtsa has not tested the side impact bags on the subaru models. if that is true, how can subaru claim that the bags responded correctly? *nlm | |||
