AIRBAG LIGHT AT THE LOWER L SIDE OF THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER REMAINS ILLUMINATED. ANNOYING CHIME SOUNDS THE ENTIRE TIME THE CAR IS ON. I'VE READ ONLINE THAT THE PROBLEM LIES IN A PCB UP BY THE MAP LIGHTS. WILL CHECK THE SOLDER ON ALL RESISTERS AND LEDS ON THAT PCB. MOST WHO REFLOW THE SOLDER CLAIM THIS RESOLVES THE ISSUE. SUBARU OF AMERICA WAN'TS $300+ TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE OVERHEAD CONSOLE.
THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT REMAINED ON AFTER IGNITION AND WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAPPENED INTERMITTENTLY UNTIL I REPLACED THE MAP LIGHT CONSOLE RECENTLY. PROBLEM SOLVED. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ITEM AS IT AFFECTS AN IMPORTANT SAFETY FEATURE OF THE CAR, I.E., THE AIRBAGS. *TR

Complete months in the latest six months with at least 10 complaints, at least twice the preceding 12-month average, and at least three square-root deviations above that average.
This is a descriptive screening rule, not a statistical defect finding. Publicity and reporting changes can increase submissions.
No complete months meet the spike thresholds for this selection.
