discojon Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 My wagon is back in the shop getting the damage repaired they did during the recall. They are also doing the dash rattle TSB, but apparently the "woven material" is no longer available so they are seeking an alternative. What should have been 7 hours of labor has turned into at least a week of my car in their shop.

coldsoda Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 My wife has a new 3.6r outback with the CVT and I think its quite good actually... to stay on topic, I'm waiting a little while before scheduling service to let my local service department get some "practice" on other cars first... lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawn_g Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Any thoughts on disconnecting the occupancy sensor under the passenger seat to disable the airbag? I tried disconnecting it, then sat in the passenger seat with the seatbelt on and the passenger airbag light stayed off, but the Airbag light lit up on my gauge cluster. I asked the service manager at the dealership, but he didn't know and thought that it might disable all of the airbags by doing that. My dealership said they won't have the part for about 3 months due to all the demand, so I need to do something to disable the airbag until then. If I have to, I don't mind digging under the dash to unplug it that way, but the occupancy sensor seemed like an easy workaround. http://i.imgur.com/5qp8YVZ.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only real way would be to unplug airbag and plug in a resistor to fool system. No easy way to know what resistance should be though. DO NOT try to measure resistance with a meter!!! this will deploy the airbag!!!! easiest answer is to not let any passengers in front seat or just pull SRS fuse in underhood fuse box.

hadvw Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Resistance is 2 ohms. Worked for me. You'll need 2 resistors, it's a 2-stage airbag. PM me for details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discojon Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Update to my car: After a week and a day in the shop, I finally call to get an update. They are not able to get the correct part 66204AG01A frame-audio box. Apparently they have ordered it twice and the wrong part had shipped. The issue is that they stripped out 4 of the 6 screws that hold the head unit in place. They are supposed to be calling "Subaru parts pick"? To figure out what is going on. So at this point my car has been in their shop for 9 days total. I still have a loaner so that's about all the good I can report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discojon Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Apparently the dealer ordered the only two parts that were available in the country and both contained the wrong part. No word on when a new one will be available. I also got a letter from SoA about an extended dashboard warranty and am going to try to get the dash pad replaced under that.

BoozeRS05 Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 I don't want to deal with this.. My dash is in good condition and doesn't rattle, if it would come back any different I'd be pretty unhappy.

You are lucky. Mine rattles and I called the dealer today. Still no parts available and I've been on their wait list since January. They did say they'd add felt tape around the dash mounts as long as I ask for it. Is anyone in Nevada get their airbag replaced yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

discojon Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 It seems as though timing the dash replacement, airbag replacement, and rattle TSB is going to quickly become the holy trinity for these cars.

Gex Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Just called the local dealership. "We might get parts in April". Do I press for a loaner from SOA? Or piss and moan for a new dash? I think a new dash is in order. Good luck poor service tech tasked with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragman Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Has one with a Leptronix audio input fromRedfloyd had their recall done for the passenger airbag service? Did you have to explain the modification to the mechanic so they didn't mangle it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you have to explain the modification to the mechanic so they didn't mangle it? I did. I was their first and they ended up doing the install without removing the dash because of my "aftermarket accessories". It can be done without removing the dash and I would kust request that.

BoozeRS05 Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Mine goes in next Wednesday.. I asked the service guy if they've done a cpl and he said yeah, they are no problem and not to be worried. I have a friend who works at the dealership and I'm really hoping he does it.

alex0856 Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 What I originally thought was dash rattle before the recall turned out to be coming from my shifter. Now I have ACTUAL dash rattle and it's the WORST. Thanks Subaru. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scruffy Posted March 16, 2016 Author Share Posted March 16, 2016 Anyone in the North East have one done yet? My dealer doesn't even have an eta on parts. I had the airbag replaced here in Vermont. So yup, a couple have. Just an fyi, they didn't pull the whole dash on mine, just the bottom half. I couldn't say enough good things about Kinney Subaru, They even rerouted (properly) my halfassed tucked wires for my dash cam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
