2015 Subaru Legacy Complaint Log

WHILE DRIVING OVER RUTTED ROADS BETWEEN 10-15 MPH THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE MAKES A THUMPING/CLUNKING NOISE. THE NOISE IS COMING FROM THE FRONT SUSPENSION AND AFTER DRIVING A LOANER THAT WAS THE SAME MODEL AND YEAR I KNOW THIS IS NOT NORMAL OPERATION. THREE SERVICE DEPARTMENTS HAVE SAID THE NOISE IS EITHER NON-EXISTENT OR NORMAL. FURTHERMORE THE CAR VIOLENTLY REACTS TO ANY ROAD IMPERFECTIONS AND BOUNCES ON SMOOTH ROADS.

Extremely high, abnormal parasitic draining of my battery, in my 2015 Legacy whenever vehicle is not running. This parasitic drain on battery will leave you stranded, if parked for a few days, causing a safety issue, as you can imagine. I always connect and use a battery tender/maintainer with hood up, after every time I use car, when I return car to garage. If I did not have a garage, I would have to connect to this battery charger/maintainer and close the hood to deter exposure to the elements, such as snow, ice, and rain. It is not actual fault of battery, as new perfect battery will drain within a few days with this extremely high parasitic drain. I thought possibly if I blocked the battery remotes from contacting the car, I could reduce this drain. I placed the two remotes into a metal container and then I placed this into a second metal container. This did not resolve the parasitic battery draining issue.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 SUBARU LEGACY. WHILE DRIVING IN THE SNOW, WATER STARTED TO LEAK INSIDE THE ENGINE CAUSING A BURNING SMELL. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES.

DRIVING ON FREEWAY WITH CRUISE SET AT 72MPH, REACHED DOWN TO THE CENTER COUNCIL TO GRAB AN ITEM, AND PULLED UP ON THE ELECTRONIC PARKING BRAKE BUTTON. THE BUTTON IS LOCATED TOO CLOSE TO REACHABLE PLACES. THE CAR CAME TO A SCRATCHING HALT, LUCKY THE VEHICLES BEHIND ME WERE ABLE TO SWERVE OUT OF THE WAY IN TIME. *TR

I HAVE A 2015 SUBARU LEGACY AND THE SRVD (BLIND SPOT & REAR BACKUP DETECTION) SYSTEM KEEPS MALFUNCTIONING. HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STARTED AND DOES NOT GO AWAY WHEN DRIVING. TOOK THE CAR TO THE SUBARU DEALER AND THEY COULD NOT SOLVE THE ISSUE. THIS IS A DESIGNED SAFETY SYSTEM AND NOT WORKING IT BECOMES AS SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 SUBARU LEGACY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HER VISIBILITY WAS OBSTRUCTED WHEN THE SUN REFLECTED OFF THE FACTORY INSTALLED NAVIGATIONAL SYSTEM. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 600.

I PACKED THE CAR IN THE GARAGE PERFECTLY OK THEN IN THE MORNING IT HAD A CRACKED WINDSHIELD ABOUT 6 IN. I HAD THE CAR FOR 6 WEEKS AND ODOMETER WAS AT 2100 MIL. IT CRACKED IN THE DRIVER SIDE UP AND NOW IS ALMOST IN THE OTHER SIDE IN WEIRD PATHER UP AND DOWN AND UP AND DOWN . I WENT TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT WAS A VERY SMALL CHIP THEREFORE IS NOT COVERED BY BUMPER TO BUMPER -). LATER I WENT TO FAST GLASS - THEY ARE NOT THRILLED TO CHANGE IT - REASON BEEN THEY DID A LOT OF NEW SUBARU WITH ORIGINAL GLASS AND THEN 1 -2 WEEKS LATER SAME PEOPLE ARE BACK WITH A CRACKED WINDSHIELD. ..THEY ARE WILLING TO SUPORT MY CLAIM.

ALMOST EVERY TIME I FILL UP WITH GAS, WHEN THE GAS PUMP SHUTS OFF THERE IS A BACK SPLASH OF GAS OUT OF THE TANK. I WOULD SAY ANYWHERE FROM 1 TO 3 OUNCES OF GAS SPLASHES OUT. DEPENDS ON THE PRESSURE IT'S BEING FILLED AT. I TALKED TO MY DEALER ABOUT IT AND WAS TOLD THAT IS COMMON FOR SUBARU LEGACY'S. *TR

FROM A SLOW ROLL MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN. PUT MY FOOT ON THE GAS PEDDLE AND GOT NO REPLY FOR ABOUT 3-4 SECOND THEN THE CARD PULLED OUT VERY FAST THIS OFTEN. MOST OF THE TIME FROM A STOP AT A STOP SIGN. NO MOVEMENT FOR ABOUT 3-5 SECONDS. ALSO, THEN JUMPS OUT FAST. TOOK BACK TO DEALER. THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. JUNE 18, 2015 CALLED MAIN OFFICE OF SUBARU.. THEY SENT ME TO A LOCAL DEALER. JUNE 24, 2015. CAR WITH THEM FOR 2 DAYS. NO RESPONSE. VERY SCAREY.
