2004 Subaru Impreza airbag problems

AIR BAGS

I have had this airbag recall repaired 8 years ago, yet the dealership (Autonation Subaru Arapahoe 9955 E Arapahoe Rd Centennial, CO 80112) REFUSES to submit the paperwork to complete the recall. I have contacted the dealership numerous times, I have had Subaru of America representatives come out to my house to verify this airbag recall has been completed, yet I cannot get the recall status of my vehicle to be updated to show that the recall has been completed.

The contact owns a 2004 Subaru Impreza. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Numbers: 15V323000 (Air Bags) and 11V464000 (Suspension) however, the parts to do the recall repairs were unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repairs. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The dealer informed the contact that NHTSA Campaign Number: 11V464000 (Suspension) could not be completed due to excessive corrosion. The approximate failure mileage was 191,000. Parts distributions disconnect.

I have already visited my local Subaru dealer to remedy this recall. I have a physical invoice as proof that my vehicle was inspected & already has the correct air bag installed. I have called the recall line (855-371-5406) MANY times & no matter who I speak to the recall does not clear despite me informing them I have already completed the repair. All representatives say the same thing claiming they will "take care of it or speak to a manager" & telling me to wait so it clears on its own over time. It has now been almost 2 years since my visit & I am still receiving an excessive amount of notices. The vehicle works as it should 100% with no issues.

THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON AND I DO NOT KNOW WHY. I HAVE NOT BEEN IN A CRASH, BUT I AM WORRIED IT MAY DEPLOY OR FAIL TO DEPLOY.

I HAVE RECEIVED A NOTICE THAT MY CAR IS BEING RECALLED UNDER SUBARU RECALL CAMPAIGN WQL-48 (NHTSA RECALL NUMBER 14V-399), FOR A PROBLEM WITH AIRBAG INFLATORS. SINCE THEN, I HAVE CONTACTED 3 DIFFERENT SUBARU DEALERS TO TRY AND SCHEDULE A TIME TO BRING MY CAR IN TO HAVE THE WORK PERFORMED. HOWEVER, I WAS TOLD THAT THEY DON'T HAVE THE NECESSARY PARTS IN STOCK. I HAVE CONTACTED SUBARU OF AMERICA, AND WAS TOLD THAT I WILL BE RECEIVING ANOTHER LETTER ONCE THE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE TO PERFORM THE RECALL WORK. FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND, THE MANUFACTURER HAS A CERTAIN TIME WINDOW TO NOTIFY THE CONSUMER ONCE THE RECALL IS ANNOUNCED; HOWEVER, I FEEL THAT IN THIS CASE, THE NOTIFICATION IS USELESS, SINCE I'M UNABLE TO GET THE CAR REPAIRED.
