2015 SUBARU IMPREZA Complaints

THE PASSENGER AIR BAG SENSOR FAILS TO PROPERLY IDENTIFY A HUMAN IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. MORE THAN HALF THE TIME SOMEONE IS SITTING IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT, THE PASSENGER AIR BAG IS NOT ACTIVATED. THIS HAPPENS BOTH WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, STATIONARY, AND ON IN STREET TYPES OR STREET CONDITIONS. THE AIR BAG ALSO FREQUENTLY ACTIVATES WHEN NO ONE IS SITTING IN THE SEAT. THE PASSENGER AIR BAG SENSOR IS DANGEROUSLY BADLY DESIGNED. IT USES A CAPACITANCE SENSOR TO DETERMINE IF AN OBJECT WITH A SIMILAR CAPACITANCE TO A HUMAN IS IN THE SEAT. HOWEVER, THE CAPACITANCE OF A HUMAN CHANGES DRAMATICALLY DEPENDING ON THE COMPOSITION OF THAT PERSON'S BODY, THE CLOTHES THAT PERSON IS WEARING, IF THEY ARE HOLDING AN ELECTRONIC DEVICE, OR TOUCHING SOME PART OF THE VEHICLE THAT WOULD GROUND THEM. THE TRADITIONAL WEIGHT SENSORS USED IN ALMOST ALL OTHER VEHICLES ARE A TIME-TESTED AND ROBUST DESIGN.

VEHICLE STATIONARY, ENGINE AT IDLE, AWAITING LEFT HAND TURN. TURN STEERING WHEEL LEFT, ATTEMPT TO ACCERERATE, ENGINE TEMPORARILY STALLS. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN RECALLED FOR OTHER DEFECTIVE RELAYS. IS THIS A DEFECTIVE FUEL PUMP RELAY?

SOON AFTER DELIVERY, THERE WAS A NOTICEABLE LAG ( 2-20 SECONDS) BETWEEN THE TIME THE ACCELERATOR WAS DEPRESSED AND WHEN THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED. AT TIMES THIS LEAD TO DANGEROUS SITUATIONS. DEALER SAID THERE WAS NO PROBLEM. THE ACCELERATOR MODULE WAS REPLACED ( NOT AT DEALER) AND THERE WERE NO PROBLEMS FOR A TIME, NOW THE SAME LAG HAS BEGUN TO OCCUR AT RANDOM TIMES, ESPECIALLY AFTER SLOWING TO LESS THAN 20 MILES PER HOUR. NOTE:-- THIS IS A PROBLEM FOR ONE OF TWO DRIVERS OF THE CAR. APPARENTLY THE POSITION OF THE DRIVER'S FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR MAKES THE DIFFERENCE. NEVER HAS THIS DRIVER HAD A SIMILAR PROBLEM IN MORE THAN 50 YEARS OF DRIVING ALL TYPES OF VEHICLES ( THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM, NOT A SINGLE OR ISOLATED EVENT.)

SUBARU EYESIGHT WILL LOCK UP BRAKES WHEN ACTIVELY BEING ENGAGED AND THE CAR IN FRONT OF YOU MAKES 90 DEGREE RIGHT TURN AS IF THE CAR WAS STILL IN FRONT OF YOU AND YOU WERE ABOUT TO CRASH INTO IT. BUT IT ISN'T THERE INSTEAD YOU WILL BE CRASHED INTO FROM THE REAR. IT WILL DO THIS EVERY TIME GUARANTEED. JUST SET FOLLOWING DISTANCE TO 1.1 SEC GET BEHIND A CAR DOING OVER 25 MPH AND ENJOY. DEALERSHIP INSISTS THAT HOW IT SUPPOSE TO WORK. IF THIS WAS SUBARU'S INTEND IN ANY WAY IT NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED. HITTING GAS PEDAL WON'T HELP IT WILL ONLY REV UP THE ENGINE BUT CAR KEEPS BRAKING.
