MY 2012 SUBARU LEGACY STALLS OUT WHEN I COME TO A STOP. IT DOES THIS RANDOMLY. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS AS IT CAN HAPPEN ANY TIME IN TRAFFIC. I WAS TOLD THAT IT IS CAUSED BY A FAULTY TORQUE CONVERTER.

AIRBAG LIGHT ON. OPEN CIRCUIT FOUND. NEEDS AIRBAG MAIN HARNESS, BODY HARNESS AND LEFT FRONT SUB SENSOR TO CORRECT CONCERN. IN MOTION WHEN LIGHT CAME ON.

STEERING WHEEL NEARLY LOCKED - BECAME IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN. HAPPENED WHILE MAKING A VERY SLIGHT RIGHT TURN AT ABOUT 5MPH FROM A SMALL SIDE ROAD ONTO A FOUR LANE HIGHWAY. WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE A VERY VERY WIDE TURN TO GET OFF THE ROAD INTO A PARKING LOT.

TRANSMISSION SHAKES OR RUMBLES BETWEEN GEARS WHILE ACCELERATING. OCCASIONALLY CAR WILL COMPLETELY LOSE POWER AND STALL. THIS STARTED HAPPENING WITH MILEAGE AT ABOUT 97,000 IN FEBRUARY OF 2018. SUBARU DEALER IN DANBURY, CT SAID IT WAS A PROPELLER SHAFT AND REAR DIFFERENTIAL PROBLEM. THEN BROUGHT CAR TO SUBARU DEALER IN BREWSTER, NY WHO RECOMMENDED TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT. SERVICE BULLETINS ONLINE DESCRIBE THE EXACT PROBLEM HAPPENING ON THE LEGACY 3.6 TRANSMISSION. CAR NOW HAS 121,000 MILES ON IT. CAR FUNCTIONS, BUT VIBRATION BETWEEN GEARS CONTINUES. ALSO OCCASIONALLY COMPLETELY LOSES POWER MOMENTARILY - VERY DANGEROUS. DEALERS SAY BLUE BOOK VALUE OF MY CAR IS LESS THAN COST OF A REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSION. CONTACTED SUBARU OF AMERICA WHO OFFERED ME A $100 GOODWILL PARTS & SERVICE COUPON.

ENGINE TURNS OFF WHEN CAR COMES TO STOP. 5 TIMES IN THE LAST 3 WEEKS MY CAR ENGINE HAS DIED. ON ONE OCCASION I MISSED A GREEN LIGHT AND ON ANOTHER OCCASION WAS ALMOST REARENDED AT A STOP SIGN.

SUNROOF SHATTERED WITH A VERY LOAD BANG. DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY DURING THE DAY IN GOOD WEATHER AND AT CONSTANT SPEED. NOTHING HIT THE SUNROOF. THERE WERE NO CARS OR TRUCKS IN FRONT OF ME. I DID NOT GO OVER A BRIDGE OR ANY OTHER STRUCTURE. IT "SPONTANEOUSLY" SHATTERED.

ON JULY 31 OF 2017 I BROUGHT MY CAR TO 'BIG O TIRES' FOR ROUTINE BRAKE INSPECTION. THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHTS OR SIGNS ON CAR DASHBOARD. AFTER BRAKES INSPECTION MY CAR WAS DECLARED UNSAFE TO LEAVE THE SHOPS WITHOUT REPAIR. THE REPAIR HAD TO BE MADE BECAUSE OF BOTH REAR CALIPERS WHERE FROZEN. I HAD NO CHOICE AND AGREED TO REPAIRS (MY CAR THEN HAD MILEAGE OF 27,500 MILES; THE COPY OF SUBARU EXTENDED WARRANTY POLICY I RECEIVED IN SEPTEMBER 2017). REPAIR INCLUDED REPLACEMENT OF CALIPERS, ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS (ALL REAR). ALSO, NEW TIRES, AS THEIR EXTENSIVE WEAR WAS CONSISTENT WITH BRAKE PROBLEMS. STATEMENT OF REPAIR AND POLICY ARE ATTACHED. [SEVERAL MONTH BEFORE THIS REPAIR I VISITED SUBARU DEALERSHIP WITH CONCERN OF HIGH FUEL CONSUMPTION INCONSISTENT WITH MILEAGE I DROVE. AT THAT TIME NO REPAIR WAS MADE, AND I ONLY GUESS THAT COMPUTER RESET WAS DONE.]

FOUR NEW CONTINENTAL PURE CONTACT 215-50 R17 95V TIRES WERE INSTALLED IN APRIL 2016. THE VEHICLE'S ORIGINAL TIRES (NOT CONTINENTAL) HAD LASTED 38,000 MILES. ONE MONTH LATER A SIDEWALL BLOWOUT OCCURRED IN ONE OF THE NEW CONTINENTAL TIRES AFTER BEING DRIVEN LESS THAN 500 MILES. IT WAS REPLACED BY THE MANUFACTURER. THEN, AFTER DRIVING LESS THAN 7000 MILES, TWO OF FOUR TIRES WERE FOUND TO HAVE SIDE WALL BUBBLES. BECAUSE OF SAFETY CONCERN, ALL FOUR TIRES WERE REPLACED WITH ANOTHER BRAND.

VEHICLE HAS AN ELECTRICAL FAILURE THAT CAUSES THE DASH CHECK ENGINE, BRAKE, CRUISE AND OTHER LIGHTS TO ACTIVATE. WHILE DRIVING, THE FAILURE CAUSES: ONE OR BOTH HEADLIGHTS TO SUDDENLY FAIL MAKING THE VEHICLE ILLEGAL AND DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AT NIGHT, CRUISE CONTROL TO SUDDENLY FAIL, AND STABILITY CONTROL TO BECOME NON-FUNCTIONAL. THE MAIN FAILURE BEING THE HEADLIGHTS/DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS COULD CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH DUE TO SUDDEN LACK OF VISIBILITY AT NIGHT. SUBARU WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE/FIX THE FAILURE ON 2 SERVICE OCCASIONS. THIS FAILURE OCCURS WITHOUT WARNING WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AT BOTH HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND CITY STREET SPEEDS. THE COMPONENT CAUSING THE FAILURE IS UNKNOWN.

TORQUE CONVERTER - CAR STALLS WHEN BRAKING ABRUPTLY. CAN/WILL CAUSE ACCIDENT SOON...

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 SUBARU LEGACY. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V014000 (AIR BAGS). THE PARTS NEEDED FOR THE REPAIRS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT BELIEVED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME TO PROVIDE THE RECALL REPAIRS. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY (60) MPH MY SUNROOF EXPLODED OUTWORDS. BY OUTWORDS I MEAN BUCKLED UP AND OUT. RAZOR SHARP PRICES OF GLASS FLEW EVERYWHERE ALL OVER MY HEAD AND FACE. EXTREMELY SCARY. THERE WAS NO OVER PASSES AND OR TRAFFIC IN FRONT OF ME AT THE TIME. THE FORCE OF A ROCK AT THIS SPEED WOULD NOT COME CLOSE TO ANYTHING LIKE THIS. IT WAS ALMOST LIKE THE CABIN WAS UNDER PRESSURE.

CAR WILL SHUDDER AND ALMOST DIE OR WILL DIE WHEN COMING TO A STOP. WAS TOLD IT WAS THE TORQUE CONVERTOR. WE HAVE THE CVT TRANSMISSION

HIT HEAD ON DRIVING OUR 2012 SUBARU LEGACY BY A NISSAN MAXIMA BOTH TRAVELING OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS AT 40 MILES PER HOUR. ALL AIR BAGS IN OTHER VEHICLE WERE DEPLOYED WHILE NONE DEPLOYED IN THE SUBARU CONTRIBUTING TO EXTENSIVE IMPACT INJURIES, SEAL/LAP BELT INJURIES AND CLOSED HEAD TRAUMA. THIS ACCIDENT OCCURRED ON A CITY STREET, DRY ROAD CONDITIONS WITH NO CONTRIBUTING FACTORS EXCEPT NEGLIGENCE ON OTHER DRIVERS PART.

I WAS HIT IN THE REAR END OF THE CAR AND HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME, BUT THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. I WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP DURING RUSH HOUR ON A HIGHWAY.

2012 70,000 MILES CAR BEGAN TO STALL AT STOPS BUT NOT ALL THE TIME. MORE OFTEN AT ABRUPT STOPS. THIS HAPPENS ANYWHERE AT A STOP LIGHT, STOP SIGN, FREEWAY DRIVING. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. I AM BEING TOLD IT IS THE TORQUE CONVERTER AIR FLOW (SOMETHING LIKE THAT) AND CAN COST $2500 TO FIX. IT APPEARS SUBARU HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM SINCE AT LEAST 2010 AND HAS NOT ALERTED THE OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES. *TR

MY SUBARU LEGACY HAS BEEN RECENTLY STALLING WHEN COMING TO A STOP. IT SHUDDERS AND IF YOU DO NOT GIVE IT GAS OR PLACE IN NEUTRAL, THE ENGINE WILL DIE. I HAVE READ THAT THIS IS CAUSED FROM A FAULTY TORQUE CONVERTER THAT SUBARU IS AWARE OF BUT HAS FAILED TO ISSUE A RECALL. I'M NOT SURE I WOULD BUY ANOTHER PRODUCT THAT ISN'T FULLY BACKED AND SUPPORTED BY THE MANUFACTURER.

STATIONARY OR MOVING WITH KEY ON OR WITH ENGINE RUNNING FRONT WIPERS RUN WITH SWITCH IN OFF POSITION.

THE CAR WAS PULLING OUT FROM A STOP SIGN AND TRAVELING AT 5 MPH WHEN THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR WAS HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE TRAVELING 45-50 MPH WITH ENOUGH DAMAGE TO BE CONSIDERED FOR TOTAL LOSS AND THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. NONE OF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. THE PASSENGER IN THE OTHER CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL FOR EVALUATION AND THE DRIVER OF MY CAR HAD A MILD HEAD INJURY FROM HITTING HER HEAD ON THE DRIVER DOOR WINDOW.

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM ON ONE TIRE FAILED BEFORE 5 TO 7 YEAR EXPECTED LIFE SPAN THUS MAKING THE FAIL-SAFE SYSTEM INOPERABLE

WHILE DRIVING WITH ALL WINDOWS UP & MOONROOF CLOSED, I CAN HEAR THAT WIND/AIR IS COMING IN FROM SOMEWHERE. WHILE GETTING A CAR WASH WATER DRIPS IN THROUGH MOONROOF. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE 2012'S MANUFACTURED APRIL 6TH TO MAY 12, 2011 FOR NOT ENOUGH ADHESIVE APPLIED CAUSING MOONROOFS TO COME LOOSE AND DETACH.

VEHICLE VIBRATES AND PULSATES EVERY TIME YOU APPLY THE BRAKES WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS ABOVE 50 MPH- VIBRATIONS ARE FELT THROUGHOUT THE VEHICLE AND THE STEERING WHEEL. ON MARCH 11TH; SUBARU DEALERSHIP TECHNICIANS TOOK A LOOK AT THE PROBLEM AND DROVE THE VEHICLE AND CONFIRMED THE STEERING WHEEL VIBRATIONS WHILE BRAKING ON SPEEDS ABOVE 50 MPH, THEY ALSO FOUND ALL BRAKES AT 7MM AND FRONT ROTORS WITH ADDED MATERIAL TO IT MEASURING ABOVE 0.0008" - TECHNICIANS RECOMMENDED A SIMPLE RESURFACE OF ROTORS (CHARGED AT OWNERS EXPENSE) OR TO WAIT UNTIL THE CONDITION WORSEN ??? (AFFECTING OTHER SUSPENSION, STEERING OR BRAKES COMPONENTS) IN ORDER TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE USING THE WARRANTY. CURRENTLY MY CAR HAS 22,345 AND IT ALREADY CONTINUES TO PULSATE EVERY TIME I APPLY THE BRAKES AT SPEEDS WELL ABOVE 50 MPH. NOTHING WAS SAY ABOUT THE BRAKE PADS CONDITIONS OR QUALITY. I DID NOTED ON MANY SUBARU FORUMS ONLINE THAT MANY SUBARU OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCE THIS ISSUE BUT IT SEEMS THAT NO ONE HAS REPORTED SUCH ISSUES TO THE NHTSA. *TR
