2015 Subaru Legacy Complaint Log

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY MY WINDSHIELD BROKE FOR NO APPARENT REASON.

THE AT OIL TEMP AND BRAKE LIGHT RANDOMLY START FLASHING AND KICK YOUR CAR OFF CRUISE WITHOUT ANY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND OIL TEMP ARE NOT HOT BUT CAUSES THE CAR TO LOSE POWER. ALMOST BEEN REAR ENDED ON THE FREE WAY DUE TO THIS HAPPENING DEALERSHIP DOES NOT KNOW WHAT CAUSES THIS DUE TO IT NOT ALWAYS HAPPENING AND THE LIGHTS GO OFF AFTER SHUTTING THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN MULTIPLE PEOPLE HAVE THIS PROBLEM WITH NO RESOLUTION. I AM A HUGE SUBARU FAN BUT WILL LOOK ELSE WHERE IF SUBARU DOESN'T START FIXING THEIR MISTAKES,

THE WINDSHIELD IS DEFECTIVE. IT SEEMS TO CRACK AND CHIP WITH ANY IMPACT AT ALL. ROAD SALT AT CITY SPEEDS HAS CAUSED CHIPS. I HAVE HAD THE WINDSHIELD REPLACED AND THE REPLACEMENT SUBARU GLASS IS ALSO DEFECTIVE.

I HAVE VERY SMALL CHIPS ALL OVER THE WINDSHIELD

WINDSHIELD CRACK (2ND TIME) FROM BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER OF PASSENGER SIDE. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY.

STRONG EXHAUST FUME SMELL INVADES CABIN WHILE IDLE, EVERYDAY AND IT'S GETTING STRONGER NO LEAKS DETECTED

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ICON FLASHING. THE CARS RPM'S WERE REPEATEDLY FLUCTUATING WHEN PARKED, IN NEUTRAL, AND IN DRIVE WITH THE BRAKE ON.

The contact owns a 2015 Subaru Legacy. The contact stated that the vehicle was consuming an excessive amount of engine oil every 3,000 miles. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and the oil was changed. The contact stated that the oil light illuminated whenever the oil level was extremely low. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 155,000.

Battery drainage and replacement more often than usual

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 SUBARU LEGACY. WHILE PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED UNCONTROLLABLY AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE DROVE OVER A BARRIER AND CRASHED INTO A BUILDING AND THE STEEL BARS NEAR THE HANDICAPPED PARKING AREA. THE CONTACT WAS SHAKEN UP, BUT NOT INJURED. NONE OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE CONTACT WAS UNCERTAIN IF THE FAILURE WAS RELATED TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V251000 (ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL). THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE INSURANCE COMPANY WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED FROM THE SCENE. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000. *AS *AS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 SUBARU LEGACY. THE CONTACT MADE A RIGHT TURN TO TURN INTO A PARKING LOT, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED AND SURGED OUT OF THE PARKING SPACE. THE VEHICLE WENT OVER A CONCRETE PARKING BLOCK, STRUCK A GUARDRAIL, THEN CRASHED INTO THE BUILDING BEHIND IT. THEN THE VEHICLE BOUNCED BACK INTO THE PARKING SPACE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE CONTACT WAS NOT INJURED. NO POLICE REPORT WAS MADE. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO A LOCAL MECHANIC. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED (THE CONTACT DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS DAMAGED ON THEIR VEHICLE). THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THAT THEY WOULD SEND AN OFFICIAL TO THE CONTACT'S HOME TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 34,630.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 SUBARU LEGACY. WHILE DRIVING 40 TO 55 MPH, THE CONTACT'S WINDSHIELD CRACKED. THE CONTACT EXITED THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED THE CRACK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO RUGES SUBARU (6444 MONTGOMERY ST, RHINEBECK, NY 12572, (845) 397-1204) WHERE A NEW WINDSHIELD WAS INSTALLED, BUT THE WINDSHIELD CRACKED AGAIN THE SAME DAY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

DRIVING ON INTERSTATE AT 70MPH & CAR ACTED AS IF IT WENT INTO NEUTRAL. RPM'S WERE MAINTAINED AT APX 4000. LOW FUEL LIGHT HAD JUST GONE MOMENTS BEFORE INDICATING 80 MILES LEFT IN TANK. CAR ACTED LIKE IT HAD NO GAS HOWEVER RPM WAS WORKING AS I PULLED ON TO SHOULDER OF HIGHWAY, LUCKILY.ONCE PULLED OVER & BRAKING ENGINE STOPPED. TRIED RESTARTING & ENGINE ACTED LIKE IT HAD NO GAS. WAS IN THE PROCESS OF WAITING FOR AAA WHEN I TRIED RESTARTING IT. IT STARTED AFTER ABOUT A HALF HOUR FROM INCIDENT, ALTHOUGH I DID NOT TRY TO START IT AFTER THE 1ST 5 MINUTES OR SO. WHEN IT RESTARTED LOW FUEL GAUGE WAS STILL ON 70 MILES TO EMPTY & I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT TO GAS STATION & REFUELED TO APPROXIMATELY 15 GALLONS, 3 LESS THAN 18 GALLON TANK SO THERE WAS APPROX 3 GALLONS IN TANK WHEN THIS OCCURRED. CAR IS WORKING FINE NOW BUT WILL BE TAKING TO NC SUBARU TO SEE IF ANY CODES WERE SET, NOTHING WAS ALERTED ON CAR WARNING LIGHTS OTHER THAN LOW FUEL WARNING LIGHT. I LIVE IN NJ & I AM CONCERNED THIS COULD HAPPEN AGAIN DRIVING BACK & I MAY NOT BE SO LUCKY TO BE ABLE TO PULL OVER ON MORE CONGESTED HIGHWAYS. SEARCHED GOOGLE & THERE ARE SIMILAR INCIDENTS SUCH AS SUBARU FORRESTOR 2014 WITH SAME ENGINE & ISSUE WHERE DEALER COULD NOT FIND ISSUE. ALSO SUBARU ISSUED RECALL FOR 2017 IMPREZZA (SEE 33K CARS RECALLED) WITH STALLING ISSUES. CAR HAS 93K MILES & OTHER THAN REPLACING 2 BATTERIES, ONE A FEW WEEKS BACK , IT HAS NEVER HAD AN ISSUE WITH ANYTHING ELSE. I WAS APPROXIMATELY 2 MILES FROM GETTING OFF INTERSTATES WHEN THIS OCCURRED (EG 553 OF 550 MILES BEFORE 30 OR SO MILES REMAINING ON LOCAL ROADS). AFTER REFUELING IN NJ ONLY MADE TWO QUICK 5 MINUTE STOPS ALONG THE WAY BEFORE THIS OCCURRED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 SUBARU LEGACY EQUIPPED WITH THREE GOODYEAR EAGLE LS-2 TIRES, SIZE: 225/50R18. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ALL THREE TIRES WERE DRY ROTTED AROUND THE RIMS ON BOTH SIDES. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC BECAUSE IT RODE ROUGHLY. THE CONTACT WAS REFERRED TO THE TIRE MANUFACTURER TO FILE A COMPLAINT. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THEY WOULD PRORATE THE COST OF THE TIRES, BUT DID NOT ADDRESS WHAT CAUSED THE CONDITION. THE CONTACT HAD NOT YET HEARD BACK FROM THE MANUFACTURER BECAUSE THEY STATED THAT THEY WERE STILL WORKING ON THE CLAIM. THE VEHICLE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 18,751. THE TIRE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. *BF. *TR

A CRACK RANDOMLY APPEARED STARTING FROM THE BASE OF THE WINDSHIELD NEAR THE WIPER ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. IT WAS STATIONARY.

MY FRONT BUMPER POPS OFF ON A REGULAR BASIS AND MY GPS HAD TO BE REPLACED MORE THAN ONCE. NOW IT HAS ANOTHER PROBLEM IN THE CONTACT AREA. LETTERS ARE MISSING. IF NEED TO FIND A NUMBER UNDER THE LETTER "G", YOU CAN'T. THE AREA WHERE THE LETTER "G" SHOULD BE IS BLANK.

THE WINDSHIELD SPONTANEOUSLY CRACKED STARTING AT THE BOTTOM OF THE GLASS. WAS FIRST NOTICED AFTER BEING PARKED IN WORK PARKING LOT AND WAS APPROXIMATELY 6" LONG; IN THE MORNING WHILE RUNNING AN ERRAND THE CRACK EXPANDED ANOTHER 6" WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED.

MY VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT YESTERDAY. WHILE PULLING IN TO A PARKING SPOT AND ALMOST COMPLETELY STOPPED WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE ABOUT TO PLACE THE CAR IN PARK, IT SUDDENLY ACCELERATED. THE RESULT WAS A FRONT END COLLISION WITH THE SIDE OF A RESTAURANT AND THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I'M GRATEFUL THAT THERE WERE NO INJURIES BUT I'M WORRIED THAT THERE MAY BE SOMETHING SERIOUSLY WRONG WITH THIS VEHICLE AND POSSIBLY OTHERS LIKE IT. I'M NOT SURE HOW TO START AN INVESTIGATION OF THIS NATURE SO I'M TURNING TO YOUR ORGANIZATION FOR GUIDANCE. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME IF YOU HAVE ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD FOR MY COMMUTE TO CLASS WHEN I HEARD A LOUD POP KIND OF LIKE A GUN SHOT. THIS IS WHEN I NOTICED THAT MY CAR WAS GETTING COLDER, AND I SAW THAT MY SUNROOF HAD EXPLODED. THIS HAD HAPPENED WHEN I WAS GOING AROUND 57MPH UP A HILL WITH THE CLOSEST PERSON IN FRONT OF ME TO BE A GOOD 1/2 OR 1 MILE AWAY. AS WELL AS THERE NOT BEING ANY TREES OR ANYTHING ABOVE ME, SINCE I WAS IN THE LEFT LANE AT THE TIME.

WHEN PARKING IN A PARKING SPOT AT A SCHOOL GOING TO WORK, THE CAR ACCELERATED ON IT'S OWN AND WENT UP AN EMBANKMENT AND STRUCK A TREE CAUSING EXTENSIVE DAMAGE.

SRVD DISABLED AT 39000 MILES. BLIND SPOT DETECTION SYSTEM FAILURE.

CLOCK SPRING IN STEERING COLUMN IS BAD. HORN DOES NOT WORK. DRIVER'S SIDE AIR BAG MAY BE INOPERABLE. CONDITION EXISTS WHEN VEHICLE IS STATIONARY WITH IGNITION OFF AND WHILE IT IS IN MOTION.

I have had several battery issues that I just believed to be bad luck and would get a new battery under warranty but it has gotten worse lately. It led me to look online and I notice I am not nearly the only one as this complaint has been brought up my numerous people. It is in regards to my 2015 Subaru legacy and how I’m not certain if my car will start if I make a few short trips where I’m “in and out” of the car more than 3 times in a short period of time. There is definitely a parasitic draw issue from the vehicle and it is a safety concern in not knowing if your vehicle is going to start or if you’ll need a jump or worse be stranded. With the amount of complaints on this issue I would have thought there would be a recall. I know there are safety bulletins but nothing that the dealer or Subaru themselves will address. I have also signed up for the battery settlement case but have not heard back in regards to this. I am really wanting to know if there is a solution because I’ve read a lot of reviews where this is happening in newer models also. It needs to be addressed and a resolution should be offered because it is happening to A LOT of Subarus. My other concern was the seats and moonroof. The leather driver seat has torn up and I have put covers over it to look similar but I use a sun screen for the vehicle often and it still tore up the seat. Lastly the moonroof has a defect that the dealer wouldn’t address. There is something wrong with the seal and loud wind gets in somewhere and makes the vehicle shake as though you turned up a base speakers to the loudest setting. The battery issue has been going on for years as well as the moonroof that has a spot that is allowing in air and causes the vehicle to shake. Please help hold subaru accountable for these issues and get back to me with some sort of solution! Thank you for your time.

THE WINDSHIELD CRACKED OFF THE RIGHT EDGE WITH NO VISIBLE SIGN OF ANY CHIPS.

AFTER TURNING ONTO MY INCLINED, SOMEWHAT LONG DRIVEWAY, AND APPLYING A SOFT BRAKING WHEN ENTERING MY GARAGE, THE CAR SUDDENLY SPED UP TO A HIGH SPEED AND CRASHED INTO THE WALL WHICH HAD TWO LAYERS OF PLASTIC STORAGE BOXES IN FRONT OF IT. THE BOXES PUSHED THE WALL INTO MY HOUSE WHICH PUSHED MY DINING ROOM HUTCH FORWARD CAUSING THE TOP PART TO FALL BACK AND BREAK JUST ABOUT ALL THE CRYSTAL AND HEIRLOOM ITEMS INSIDE IT. THE TOP PART OF THE HUTCH IS UNREPAIRABLE. MY CAR WAS DAMAGED, MY HOME IS DAMAGED, AND MY HUTCH IS RUINED. I AM NOW AFRAID TO EVER PARK IN MY GARAGE AGAIN WITH THIS VEHICLE. I AM ALSO AFRAID OF THIS HAPPENING ELSEWHERE WHERE I MIGHT POSSIBLE INJURE OTHERS OR MYSELF.

AFTER BOTH FRONT DOOR SEALS WERE REPLACED IN 2016,, THE WIND NOISE RETURNED. SPOKE TO SUBARU CUSTOMER SERVICE, AND WAS THEY SENT ME A 'SORRY FOR THE INCONVENIENCE' CHECK FOR $250.00 WHICH DIDN'T COVER THE ORIGINAL ISSUE.

SINCE NOVEMBER OF 2017 WHILE DRIVING THE CAR IT HAS INTERMITTENTLY JERKED AND SHOOK EXCESSIVELY, BUCKING LIKE A MAD HORSE. CAR WAS BROUGHT IN TO DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS. DEALER WAS NOT ABLE TO IDENTIFY THE CAUSE. AFTER SEVERAL VISITS TO DEALER WHERE I WAS ASSURED THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED THE SAME PROBLEM CONTINUED. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THE CAR, WHILE DRIVING STARTED TO SHUT DOWN AND I NEEDED TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALER. DEALER CLAIMED THE PROBLEM WAS A FAULTY SPARK PLUG. CAR WAS THEN RETURNED TO ME. YET AGAIN THE PROBLEM PERSISTED AND HAD I TO CRAWL LIKE A TURTLE BACK TO HOME. CAR WAS TOWED AGAIN TO DEALER FOR ANOTHER DIAGNOSIS. NOW THE DEALER BELIEVES THE PROBLEM IS A FAULTY CYLINDER (WHATEVER THAT MEANS).I HAVE NO TRUST IN THE RELIABILITY OF THIS VEHICLE AND AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF DRIVING THIS VEHICLE WITH MY FAMILY. IT BE SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THE CAR HAS BEEN SERVICED EXACTLY TO THE INSTRUCTIONS PER THE MILEAGE GUIDANCE. I HAVE REPORTED THIS CONCERN TO SUBARU OF AMERICA CORPORATE OFFICE. CASE # 1-38872409282. THEIR RESPONSE IS UNFAIR. I AM NOW LEFT WITH A CAR THAT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND I SHOULD NOT BE PENALIZED FINANCIALLY.

RIGHT REAR WHEEL BEARING HAD TO BE REPLACED AT APPROXIMATELY 36,000 MILES. NOW THE LEFT REAR WHEEL BEARING HAS HAD TO BE REPLACED AT APPROXIMATELY 44,000 MILES. BOTH SITUATIONS OCCURRED WHEN UNUSUAL NOISES WERE HEARD FROM THE REAR END OF THE CAR AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE DEALERSHIP MAKING THE REPAIRS AND SUBARU OF AMERICA HAVE NOT PROVIDED ANY REASONABLE EXPLANATION FOR WHY BOTH WHEEL BEARINGS WOULD HAVE PROBLEMS AT RELATIVELY LOW MILEAGE.

IN FEBRUARY 2017 WE EXPERIENCED UNINTENDED ACCELERATION ON 6 OCCASIONS. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. THEY SAID THAT WE MUST HAVE DONE SOMETHING TO CAUSE THE ACCELERATION. WE KNOW THAT WAS NOT THE CASE, BUT WE CONTINUED TO DRIVE THE CAR. IT HAPPENED ANOTHER TIME IN JULY. THE REALLY BAD INCIDENT OCCURRED ON SEPTEMBER 5, 2017 IN A PARKING GARAGE. AS WE WERE EXITING THE PARKING SPACE, THE CAR TOOK OFF ON ITS OWN. THIS TIME, WE HIT A CONCRETE PILLAR ALONG THE SIDE OF THE CAR AND GRAZED ONE PARKED VEHICLE BEFORE GETTING THE CAR TO STOP. ALSO, THIS TIME, AFTER WE TURNED OFF THE CAR AND IT SET FOR APPROXIMATELY 10 MINUTES, WE TURNED IT BACK ON AND THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO SEVERELY REV. EVERY TIME THE UNINTENDED ACCELERATION OCCURRED, WE WERE EITHER STOPPED AT A LIGHT, IN TRAFFIC, IN A PARKING LOT, OR AT A GAS PUMP OR MOVING VERY SLOWLY WITH OUR FOOT ON THE BRAKE AS ONE WOULD IN A PARKING LOT WHEN TURNING INTO OR OUT OF A SPACE. SUBARU AGAIN TOLD US THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR AND SUGGESTED THAT WE MUST BE TWO FOOTED DRIVERS, WHICH WE ARE NOT. WE HAVE REFUSED TO DRIVE THE CAR OR TAKE REPOSSESSION OF IT. SUBARU MADE US GET THE BODY OF THE CAR REPAIRED BEFORE THEIR ENGINEERS EVEN LOOKED AT IT. THIS WAS A LEASED CAR. SUBARU SAID WE HAD TO CONTINUE TO PAY OFF THE LEASE BECAUSE THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. WE KNOW THEY ARE WRONG.

"TAKATA RECALL" AWAITING RECALL AND REPLACEMENT INFO FROM DEALER.

FRONT WINDSHIELD CRACKS SPONTANEOUSLY WHILE DRIVING. FIRST OCCURRED ON 8/24/17 AS DESCRIBED IN THEIR TSB WITH CRACK STARTING FROM THE DEICER. DEALER REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. THE NEWLY REPLACED WINDOW CRACKED ONCE AGAIN ON 9/19/17. THIS TIME DEALER REFUSED TO REPLACE THE WINDSHIELD UNDER WARRANTY AND IT IS NOT EVEN A MONTH OLD, INSURANCE HAD TO COVER THE COSTS. OEM IS ONLY OPTION FOR GLASS WITH THE EYE-SIGHT SYSTEM. EYE-SIGHT ALSO REQUIRES CALIBRATION BY DEALERSHIP WHEN GLASS IS REPLACED. THE WINDSHIELD IS A CRITICAL COMPONENT TO THE SRS SYSTEM WHEN AN AIRBAG DEPLOYS. USING SUCH FRAGILE GLASS IS A SAFETY CONCERN. HIGH CONSUMER COST WHEN SUBARU ONLY COVERS THE FIRST INCIDENT. MANY COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER OWNERS AND PENDING CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT (LUONG V. SUBARU 4:17-CV-03160-YGR).

TAKATA RECALL -- RECEIVED NOTICE ~ AUGUST 12 OF SETTLEMENT IN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT ALLEGING SUBARU MANUFACTURED AND SOLD VEHICLES THAT CONTAINED ALLEGEDLY DEFECTIVE AIRBAGS MADE BY TAKATA. NOTHING HAS HAPPENED TO THE VEHICLE, BUT THE NOTICE SUGGESTED A RECALL MAY BE ISSUED.

JUST GOT A NOTICE THAT SUBARU IS EXTENDING THE WARRANTY ON THE CVT FOR THIS CAR AND MY SECOND SUBARU (2014 OUTBACK 4S4BRBLC0E3307363). CALLED THEM TO ASK WHAT PERCENTAGE OF CARS HAVE NEEDED THIS REPAIR SO I CAN MAKE AN INFORMED DECISION ABOUT KEEP OR DISPOSING OF MY SUBARUS. THEY TOLD ME "WE DO NOT HAVE ANY DATA ON # OF REPAIRS" AND SAID THEY JUST DID IT AS A COURTESY TO CUSTOMERS. SOUNDS LIKE A LOAD OF BUNK TO ME. I THINK THAT I AM ENTITLED TO THIS DATA TO MAKE AN INFORMED DECISION AND ASK YOUR ASSISTANCE IN COMPELLING SUBARU TO BE OPEN AND TRANSPARENT WITH OWNERS REGARDING THIS ISSUE. THANK YOU.

TAKATA RECALL. I RECEIVED A NOTICE OF A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT CONCERNING TAKATA AIRBAGS IN SUBARUS. I MUST DECIDE IF I WANT TO BE PART OF THIS CLAIM. AT THIS TIME, MY CAR HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED. I WANT THIS TAKATA AIRBAG REMOVED FROM MY CAR! I PURCHASED THIS 2015 CAR FROM THE DEALER (USED) IN 2016. SUBARU KNEW THEY WERE SELLING A CAR WITH A DEFECTIVE AIRBAG. WAITING TO HEAR FROM DEALER CONCERNING RECALL/REPLACEMENT.

STARLINK MULTIMEDIA FEATURES/SCREEN IS TOTALLY OBSTRUCTED DURING DAYLIGHT DRIVING AND THE SUN IS REFLECTED OFF THE FACTORY INSTALLED NAVIGATIONAL SYSTEM. THE SCREEN DISPLAYS SQUIGGLY LINES ON A GRAY/BLACK SCREEN UNTIL SUN IS NOT REFLECTING. THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM AS WHEN THIS IS HAPPING THE REAR VIEW CAMERA IS NOT VISIBLE AND WHILE DRIVING A QUICK GLANCE TURNS INTO A LONG LOOK TO SEE WHAT IS BEING DISPLAYED!

2015 SUBARU LEGACY. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO A WIRING DEFECT. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE'S MIRROR LINK APP MALFUNCTIONED. *JS

THE TIRES I HAD ON MY VEHICLE WERE PRIMEWELL VALERA TOURING 2. THE ISSUE WITH THESE TIRES WAS THE SIDEWALLS WERE SHREDDING. THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL FOR THIS SAME ISSUE BUT THE TIRES I HAVE ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL AND THEY SHOULD BE. ...UPDATED 03/29/17 *BF *AS

I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 65 MPH WHEN THE CAR AHEAD OF ME MUST HAVE KICKED UP A SMALL PEBBLE THAT HIT THE WINDSHIELD. THE PEBBLE PUT A SMALL CHIP IN THE PASSANGER SIDE WINDSHIELD & WITHIN 1/2 AN HOUR THERE WAS A CRACK ABOUT 6" LONG RUNNING TOWARDS THE CENTER OF THE WINDSHIELD. WHEN I WENT AROUND A CLOVER LEAF EXIT TO GET OFF THE INTERSTATE THE WINDSHIELD CRACKED ANOTHER 6" TOWARDS THE CENTER OF THE WINDSHIELD. THE PEBBLE WAS VERY SMALL & SHOULD HAVE MADE NO MORE THAN A SMALL CHIP IN THE WINDSHIELD. I HOPE THE CRACK WILL NOT CONTINUE TO GROW; THE WINDSHIELD MUST HAVE SOME KIND OF MANUFACTURING FLAW IN IT. I HOPE IT IS STILL SAFE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AS I DO NOT HAVE THE $500.00+ TO REPLACE THE WINDSHIELD AT THIS TIME.?

AFTER SITTING IN DRIVEWAY FOR 3 DAYS, VEHICLE WOULD BARELY START, STRONG EXHAUST SMELL, RAT NEST ON TOP OF ENGINE AND CHEWED HOSES AND WIRING. HAD TOWED INTO DEALERSHIP. ADVISED OF RODENT DAMAGE. REPLACED: ENGINE WIRING HARNESS, TRANSMISSION HARNESS, TRANSMISSION INSULATION, FIREWALL INSULATION, HOOD INSULATION, FUEL TRANSFER PIPES, AND FUEL LINES AT ENGINE BAY. CLEANED EXCESS DEBRIS FROM ENGINE BAY AND FUEL BAY (THEY HAD TO DROP THE FUEL TANK). REASSEMBLED. FINAL COST, INCLUDING TOW CHARGE: $4557.42. THANKFULLY, INSURANCE COVERED, MINUS OUR $1000.00 DEDUCTIBLE. GREEN CARS, NOT GREEN IN THE WALLET.

TAKATA RECALL WHILE DRIVING APPROX 60-65 MPH IN THE FAST LANE OF I-24 INTERSTATE WITH DRIVER'S FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL, ALL LIGHTS ON THE DASH BOARD SUDDENLY CAME ON AND THE SUBARU WENT INTO AUTOMATIC BRAKING SYSTEM, CAUSING THE FRONT TO GO INTO A NOSE DIVE, AND THE BRAKES STAYED LOCKED. AN ACCIDENT INCURRED AND THE SUBARU AS WELL AS A VEHICLE BEHIND WERE TOTALED. LOW BACK, WRIST AND NECK INJURIES OCCURRED TO THE DRIVER OF SUBARU LEGACY. A CLAIM WAS SUBMITTED TO SUBARU. IT HAS BEEN TWO MONTHS AND NO FOLLOW UP HAS OCCURRED. FINALLY WITH LEGAL ASSIST, THE LEGACY WILL BE EXAMINED BY A "SUBARU" ENGINEER TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE.

IN JANUARY OF 2015, I PURCHASED A NEW 2015 SUBARU LEGACY WITH THE LATEST SAFETY FEATURES AND EQUIPMENT. WITHIN 3 MONTHS OF PURCHASE OF THE LEGACY BEGINNING IN APRIL OF 2015 THE RADIO/NAVIGATION/DRIVER ASSISTANCE DISPLAY CONSOLE BEGAN TO LOCK UP AND BECOME NON-OPERABLE AFTER ABOUT 15 MINUTES OF OPERATION. THE DEALER (MATT SLAPP SUBARU OF NEWARK, DELAWARE) HAD DIFFICULTY DIAGNOSING THE PROBLEM AND CALLED IN THE SUBARU REGIONAL TECHNICIAN TO TRY TO RECOMMEND A FIX. HE RECOMMENDED A COMPLETE REPLACEMENT OF THE CENTER CONSOLE RADIO AND DISPLAY. THIS ALL TOOK SEVERAL MONTHS. WHEN THE REPLACEMENT UNIT CAME IN, WE BROUGHT THE CAR IN FOR THE REPAIRS SHORTLY AFTER THE NEW RADIO/DISPLAY CONSOLE HAD BEEN INSTALLED, THE SAME PROBLEM WE HAD BEFORE WAS EVIDENT. IN ADDITION, WE WERE UNABLE TO ACCESS THE MAP AND NAVIGATIONAL FUNCTION AT ALL WITH THE NEW UNIT. AT ABOUT THE SAME TIME AS WE WERE DISCOVERING THIS, THE DEALER CALLED TO TELL US THAT THE COMPUTERIZED INVENTORY ACCOUNTING SYSTEM HAD FLAGGED THE MISMATCH BETWEEN OUR MODEL AND THE RADIO/NAVIGATION CONSOLE THAT HAD BEEN INSTALLED IN MY SUBARU. WE RETURNED THE CAR TO THE DEALER AGAIN AND FOR THE SECOND TIME A NEW AND CORRECT MODEL RADIO/NAVIGATION CONSOLE WAS INSTALLED. WE NOW HAD ACCESS TO THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM SCREEN AND MAPS AGAIN GOING INTO THE FALL OF 2015 AND FOR THE REST OF THE WINTER EVERYTHING SEEMED TO BE WORKING FINE. BUT DURING A WARM SPELL IN APRIL OF 2016 THE PROBLEM CROPPED UP AGAIN AND I BEGAN TO MAINTAIN A LOG (ATTACHED) OF THE OCCURRENCES WHICH BECAME MORE AND MORE FREQUENT AS WE MOVED INTO SUMMER DURING THE MONTH OF JULY THE SYSTEM LOCKED UP ON THE RIDE HOME AT THE END OF THE DAY ON ALMOST EVERY SUNNY, WARM DAY. SINCE IT DOESN'T HAPPEN UNTIL I'M ON MY WAY AND TRAVELING ON HIGH SPEED, LIMITED ACCESS HIGHWAYS FOR 90% OF MY COMMUTE WHEN IT'S DIFFICULT TO FIND A SAFE PLACE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD,

REPLACING THE WINDSHIELD 3 TIMES ALREADY IN A 2 YEAR PERIOD. NO CHIPS ARE CREATED FROM SMALL INTERACTIONS WITH OBJECT LIKE LITTLE STONES BUT IMMEDIATE CRACKS. THE VEHICLE WAS IN STATIONARY AND MOVING POSITIONS ON A STREET AND HIGWAY. MAKES ME WONDER WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN IF THERE WOULD BE MORE SERIOUS COLLISION THAN JUST A SMALL ROCK.

MY 2015 SUBARU LEGACY HAS AT DIFFERENT TIMES (AT IDLE IN GEAR, COMING UP TO A RED LIGHT WHILE MOVING, PULLING INTO A PARKING LOT OR DRIVING AT 45 MILES AN HOUR) ACCEREATED ON ITS OWN AND WOULD NOT SLOW DOWN UNTILL I PUT IT IN NUETRAL. I HAVE TO DRIVE WITH MY HAND ON THE SHIFTER AT ALL TIMES TO PUT INTO NUETRAL. I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW IN 2015 AND HAVE 13900 MILES ON IT NOW IN JULY 2016.

GAS CAP LID DOES NOT OPEN. WE TOOK THE AUTO INTO DEALERSHIP JUNE 30, 2015 AND GAVE THEM TSB-09-60-15. MILEAGE 5987. TEMPS IN THE 70'S. THEY GREASED THE GAS LID CONTACT. I INDICATED THE TSB INDICATED SOMETHING OTHER THAN THAT. THEY TOOK BACK INTO SHOP AND GROUND DOWN THE LID RELEASE CONTACT. DROVE HOME. TRIED TO OPEN GAS CAP LID AND IT WOULD NOT OPEN. WE ARE CONCERNED ABOUT DRIVING AUTO ANY DISTANCE BY ONESELF BECAUSE IT NOW TAKES TWO PEOPLE TO PUT GAS INTO AUTO. ONE TO PULL UP LEVER AND ONE TO PRY OPEN THE LID ON THE OUTSIDE. I AM SEEING NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH SEVERAL OTHER SUBARU MODELS BESIDES THE LEGACY. SUCH A SIMPLE MANUFACTURING FLAW SHOULD BE ABLE TO BE FIXED. LOVE THE AUTO BUT THIS IS REALLY REALLY AN ANNOYING SIMPLE FLAW. ONE PERSON'S COMMENT ON A TSB PERTAINING TO THIS ISSUE SAID IF THE LUBE AND GRINDING DOES NOT FIX THE ISSUE, THE ENTIRE CAP ASSEMBLY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE NOT DISCUSSED THIS WITH THE DEALER YET. THIS ISSUE HAPPENS IN ALL TEMPS. CURRENTLY 60 IN GARAGE AND CAP DOES NOT OPEN. MILEAGE 10365.

I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW IN FEBRUARY 2015 AND MY WINDSHIELD HAS REQUIRED REPLACEMENT THREE TIMES. THE SLIGHTEST IMPACT (E.G.: A SMALL PIECE OF GRAVEL COMMON ON ROADWAYS) TO THE WINDSHIELD RESULTS IN HUGE CRACKS IMPEDING MY VISION. THE WINDSHIELD DOES NOT SIMPLY CHIP; IT ALWAYS INSTANTLY CRACKS AND REQUIRES REPLACEMENT. I HAVE REPLACED MORE WINDSHIELDS ON THIS VEHICLE THAN ALL OTHER VEHICLES I HAVE EVER OWNED COMBINED. BECAUSE I HAVE THE SUBARU EYESIGHT SYSTEM, I AM REQUIRED TO REPLACE WITH FACTORY GLASS WHICH IS USUALLY ON BACK-ORDER; THIS GLASS IS CLEARLY DEFECTIVE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2015 SUBARU LEGACY. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNSPECIFIED RATE OF SPEED, AN ANIMAL WENT ACROSS THE DRIVER'S PATH. THE DRIVER VEERED TO THE RIGHT AND CRASHED INTO A TREE. THE VEHICLE ERUPTED INTO FLAMES. WEEKS PRIOR TO THE CRASH, THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER DUE TO VARIOUS WARNING LIGHTS RANDOMLY FLASHING ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE DEALER REPAIRED THE VEHICLE ACCORDING TO A MANUFACTURER'S RECALL; HOWEVER, THE REMEDY MAY HAVE BEEN INSUFFICIENT AND CAUSED THE FAILURE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYED WITH FORCE. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED EXTENSIVE ABRASIONS TO THE HEAD, A FRACTURED RIGHT FEMUR, FOUR LATERAL FRACTURES IN THE ARMS, FRACTURES TO THE LEFT ELBOW WITH METAL PLATES, AND BURNS TO THE BACK. MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS REQUIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 15V502000 (POWER TRAIN) AND 15V366000 (EXTERIOR LIGHTING, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE). THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,100.

WENT OUTSIDE TO WASH THE CAR AND BEFORE I EVEN GOT STARTED I NOTICED A CRACK IN THE WINDSHIELD. I LOOKS LIKE IT STARTED IN THE VERY CENTER AT THE BOTTOM AND TRAVELED UP AND THEN TO THE PASSENGER'S SIDE. THE CRACK IS ABOUT 12 INCHES LONG. NO IMPACT, VEHICLE WASN'T EVEN MOVING. THERE WAS NO CRACK THE DAY BEFORE.

WE HAVE OWNED THE CAR FOR 14 MONTH'S AND HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE WINDSHIELD 6 TIMES DUE TO CRACKING. OTHER CARS IN THE SAME HOUSEHOLD HAVE NEVER HAD TO HAVE THEIR WINDSHIELDS REPLACED. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY SOME KIND OF DEFECT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS VEHICLE. CONTACTED SUBARU DEALER WITH NO HELP.

WHILE TRAVELING ON THE OPEN INTERSTATE, THE WINDSHIELD STARTED TO CRACK. THE CRACK STARTED IN THE LOWER DRIVER SIDE CORNER, UNDER THE WIPER BLADE. IN LESS THAN 30 MIN, THE CRACK EXTENDED UP AND OVER, IN-FRONT OF THE DRIVER'S VIEW AND EXTENDED TO THE CENTER. FROM THE OUTSIDE, YOU CAN FEEL THE CRACK. IF YOU PUSH ON THE WINDSHIELD, YOU CAN TELL THAT THE WINDSHIELD IS WEAK, POOR QUALITY, AND A OBVIOUS SAFETY ISSUE.
