Multimedia component is not working correctly and it could cause an accident due to trying to change/control the component over and over again. It has a mind of its own. I turn it off and it turns on by itself. It switches radio stations by itself. The screen changes apps all by itself. I can't correctly use any of it anymore. I try using my phone and even though I don't want it sent to audio on the car it switches to it and then the conversation cuts in and out. I've tried resetting it a million times but it's useless anymore to even do that. I haven't brought it to a dealer as of yet. I looked it up and seen there are other complaints with this same issue. I received a letter for reimbursement if I changed it out but I didn't do that because I was able to reset the system at the time. I feel Subaru should be responsible for this as they know it's happening to vehicles and they've reimbursed for it.

Due to a dead battery issue in 2025, I bought a new battery. A year later, the car wouldn't start & I finally got it jumped. Ran fine for 3 weeks, then wouldn't start again. I brought car back to the Interstate battery shop, who tested the alternator, which was fine, but he said the battery was appearing low. After researching this problem, I discovered there's a known issue that the battery dies due to a parasitic draw. Subaru knows there is a problem but refuses to correct the issues. The dealer I bought the car from neglected to tell me there was an existing issue and will be happy to charge me $500+ to diagnose. This is a major defect on Subaru's part, and all future buyers should be aware of it!

Unintended acceleration, on 2 occasions. First occasion, car was in DRIVE waiting at a traffic stop and the engine radically increased it's RPM from idle to over 6000 RPM, remaining there. Braking control maintained the automobile's position. Shifting the car into neutral caused RPM to increase further. The car was shut off, restarted, and seemed to function normally. On the second occasion, which occurred later the same day, the car was off and then started, and while still in PARK with my foot on the brake immediately jumped to over 6000, remaining there. Once again the car was shut off, restarted, and seemed to work normally. It was taken directly (and slowly) to the manufacturer's service center at my local Subaru dealership. They have not been able to re-create the problem as of this date.

I am reporting a safety issue with my 2019 Subaru Legacy that hesitates and nearly stalls when accelerating from a stop and is now undriveable due to stalling and shaking. I bought the car new from AutoNation Subaru Carlsbad in 2019. It has about 65,000 miles and I have driven it less than 2,000 miles since its last dealer visit in August 2025. Since around August 2025, the car has intermittently lost power under light acceleration from a stop or low speed, especially while pulling into or through intersections. Pressing the accelerator sometimes produces very little power, the engine feels like it may stall, and traffic behind me must brake or go around me, creating a risk of a rear‑end collision in intersections. In August 2025 I took the car to AutoNation Subaru Carlsbad and reported that the symptoms seemed like a fuel pump problem (my independent mechanic agreed). The dealer kept the car for about two weeks, experienced the hard‑starting/turn‑over issue, but did not test or replace the fuel pump. They performed other services, charged me $1,956.21, and returned the vehicle without fixing the safety issue, even though they later acknowledged the fuel pump is covered under an extended warranty. One day after picking the car up, the same hesitation and loss of power recurred in an intersection. On November 26, 2025, the car again became disabled: it cranks, briefly starts roughly, shakes, and then stalls, and will not stay running. I believe this is a defective low‑pressure fuel pump or related fuel system component, similar to known Subaru fuel pump defects that can cause stalling and loss of power. No crash or injuries yet, but there have been near‑misses due to unexpected loss of power in traffic.

Constant battery issues. I've replaced the car battery 3 times and the car seems to be suffering from "parasitic battery drain". It took a long time to diagnose the issue and I've been to the Rye Subaru dealership 2 times already and they are still trying to fix the issue. This is my daughters car and I'm constantly waiting for a phone call to have the car jump started. She works the night shift and I'm worried about her getting stranded at night.

My vehicle light is on keeps saying oil at temp as well as other lights are currently turn on. I took it to subaru location was informed my transmission was bad. But the car drives well just have a bunch of lights.

CVT failed at 85,000 miles. It started slipping and squealing and had to be replaced by the dealership. The car was never driven rough, in mountainous terrain, etc. Very disappointing.

The entertainment system got bubbles and stopped working only after 50,000 miles.

The navigation screen has delaminated and no longer works. You can see where there are layers of screen that are discolored and has a matte finish underneath and the entire screen is erratic and works only 10% of the time. I cannot answer calls through the car any longer and I have to try to navigate long trips from my phone as this function of the car is down. It's a serious problem and puts me and others on the road at risk every time I have to use the car as I travel by myself and I struggle to navigate the roads without this system. The car has a mere 70,000 miles on it and has been well cared for. I bought the car new and this issue is serious. There were no warning signs other than it erratically works less and less. I have researched the issue and see there are so many with this same issue that I wanted to add to the list. I cannot find a second hand part as the demand is too high. The car is available for inspection and I haven't had it to the dealer for this issue. It has been inspected by an auto repair shop and agrees the component needs to come out and be replaced. Please help!

My husband was driving on [XXX] and the hood of the Subaru flew up, cracking the entire windshield, damaging the exterior of the roof and interior of the roof, the whole hood and frame where the hood meets the car. The car was driven but escorted by local PD to body shop. Less than 48 hrs before the incident, the car was at Paul Miller Subaru for a routine oil change. They were the last people to touch the hood of the car. Paul Miller Subaru has been an absolute nightmare to work with and is avoiding all contact. We are out of a vehicle entirely and they did not even offer to give us a loaner. They were incredibly defensive and rude and all of our friends and family that have leases or cars with them are pulling out of them for their safety and lives. Subaru Customer Advocacy and their Quality Assurance team went out to do an inspection on the vehicle after I opened up a case with them. Case # [XXX] 1-800-SUBARU3 (1-800-782-2783) Ext.119109. They reported that the the secondary/safety latch was "damaged and destroyed by an outside source". The technician at the dealership destroyed the latch during the oil change. The body shop also confirmed the cause of the incident as well. Our vehicle is currently being repaired so the old/destroyed parts would be available for inspection if needed. My husbands safety was at risk because if he was going faster, or if there was a car infront or behind him when he came to a full stop after the flew up, it would have been fatal. There were no warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure. They first appeared once the hood flew up.

If the car is not driven every day the battery dies due to a parasitic draw. Subaru knows there is a problem with the DCM from these years but refuses to correct the issues which there are 3 that are known. Dcm constantly searches for 3g network that is no longer killing the battery, Subaru changed the recommended cold cranking amperage of the battery well after manufacture, and won't test without a new battery being installed, and they expect the consumer to pay for both the testing and battery, to meet certain epa standards they altered the function of the alternator so it doesn't charge the battery until the engine is warm and won't fully charge the battery.

Parasitic Battery Drain due to DCM fuse problem

Parasitic drain on battery leaves the car dead and unable to start with out a jump. Battery is only six months old. Replaced old battery because of this same issue.

Main infotainment display delamination, this causes a safety concerns, as the screen can become irresponsive, and even black out during reverse making the backup camera, nonfunctioning. The other safety issue at risk is that because of the delamination it causes "ghost-clicking" on the screen, and makes the screen irresponsive, veering the drivers attention away from the road, potentially causing accidents as the main display controls all radio and bluetooth, and navigation. There are no indication or warnings from the manufacturer that the vehicle could be a risk to drive. When I called Subaru of America, I was told by the agent that they could not assist, when I brought up, based on my research this was a known issue, Subaru of America offered to pay $600 towards the replacement of the head unit. The head unit dependant on the dealer and labor time can vary from $1400-2200 for the repair.

The Starlink screen becomes uncontrollable and begins changing screens on its own making driving very distracting and losing all control of vital functions such as radio, gps and phone. I have no control over it. I have video of the incident but cannot figure out how to upload it. I k low previous year models were recalled for the same situation and I believe there is a class action lawsuit.

Infotainment system touchscreen failed and it became unstable. Bluetooth connected to phone failed, gos failed Yes Yes No

On the beginning of a trip the screen, Infotainment system started jumping, and shaking. We had been using the system for guidance while driving in unfamiliar area. The screen then started randomly selecting buttons while we were still trying to use directions from the screen. Then it called a contact on my contact list 8-9 times, and I had to keep hanging up in order so it would stop. Finally I had to shut down the entire screen. We lost control of the Infotainment and then after I had to turn it off, I tried several times again to turn it back on with no luck. The screen would not respond and continues to be completely frozen. As I have discovered this is a common problem that Subaru dealers have heard about from thousands of customers. Subaru needs to issue a recall.

The radio/ starlink system begins changing screens on its own thus losing all control of critical functions such as phone and gps. There appears to be marks behind the glass of the screen which are not able to be cleaned. There are recalls for this issue on the 2018 Subaru Legacy and there needs to be one for the 2019 Subaru Legacy and other affected Subaru models.

Radio is delaminating and causing random calls and radio changes while driving. Serious safety issue. Subaru covered a portion of the replacement but entire cost should be covered due to it being an obvious manufacturer defect.

Battery dies over and over again. I drive every day, I never leave lights on, and I am having to purchase a battery over and over again.

Infotainment system screen began bubbling. Then it started randomly selection icons by itself. Then it got to the point where it is unusable and constantly is making selections on its own. I can’t even make selections if I want to. Whole screen is effected. Subaru of America is aware and my dealer first denied knowing it was an issue but later admitted to me they have gotten several complaints of the same. Dealer ordered a replacement over a year ago and I have still not gotten a replacement because they keep telling me it is back ordered and that they put a rush on it. Still nothing in over a year. This problem also causes the battery to drain while parked. I had to put a brand new battery in and it still drains. A year or so after that, Subaru sent out a notice that they will reimburse for that issue. I don’t have any paperwork left from my replacement costs. Again, dealer denied knowing that the battery drains and later admitted they knew.

We had to replace the car’s original windshield due to a stone hitting it on the highway- just bad luck and something that happens from time to time. Since then, we’ve had TWO replacement windshields spontaneously crack without any impacts in the span of 3 weeks. Subaru has a major problem. These windshields are not supposed to be disposable, and no one has time or money enough to replace windshields on a weekly basis. There is clearly a defect in the windshields, their mounting, or something that needs to be corrected. This represents a major safety issue for drivers.

The Subaru models from 2019 have a known parasitic battery drain problem. My car will have a dead battery after a week not driving it, or even just 2 days in winter. The problem is confirmed by Subaru but not addressed in any way.

On 3/1/24, I had my original windshield replaced with Subaru dealership due to a crack. I paid out of pocket. On 4/21/24, the windshield cracked again for no reason. I don't recall anything hitting it. I took it to the Subaru dealership on 4/22/24, and they took no responsibility even though it was still under warranty. They claimed it was due to something hitting the windshield, but they did replace it for free because we were "loyal customers". On 4/30/24, it developed a substantial crack again. I remember some small pebble hitting the windshield but not hard enough to cause it to crack. I was DONE with Subaru so I took it to Safelite to get it replaced on 5/10/24. Again paying out of pocket. This is my third windshield replacement in less than two months. I feel that the Subaru brand windshield is defective. It cracks easily for no reason. I've never had this happen so frequently with any of my other cars I've owned.

There is a recall for this issue in Subaru vehicles through 2018 but our 2019 Legacy has the same issue. The head unit very soon after purchase (brand new from dealer) started to delaminate and not respond to touchscreen interaction. Now it is so bad that it is as if the head unit is possessed. It changes radio and settings randomly, cycles the screen, makes random phone calls if a phone is connected, changes navigation (Android Auto) on its own and suddenly it's navigating you to Mexico... Even if we aren't using the screen it is dangerously distracting because it is constantly glitching. We are out of warranty so the dealer wants us to pay for this repair on our own. We want to see the recall expanded to include 2019 and later model years. According to numerous reports online, I know we are not the only ones. We also have issues with this vehicle's battery draining unusually fast but that is not as critical an issue as this head unit problem.

Vehicle is equipped with Subaru EyeSight Driver Assist which includes reverse automatic braking. Vehicle was reversing towards a parked vehicle on the street and the RAB feature failed to apply the brakes and the vehicle collided with the parked vehicle. I am extremely disappointed that the safety system in this car failed to work as advertised/expected resulting in damages to both cars.

catalytic converter plugged at 56,000 miles. cause the catalytic converter to get red hot and melt o2 sensors. this caused the cel to eliminate and make the safety features turn off. I plugged an obd2 reader in to the car and diagnosed the problem. I had to replace the entire catalytic converter assembly under the as well as all of the o2 sensors.

Stereo head unit has white spots all over screen. Radio skips stations, calls numbers on my phone when connected to the car, touch screen does not work properly not allowing to turn it on or off or stop random skipping of stations or activity. Unable to see back camera when in reverse due to multiple spots on touchscreen.

UNKNOWN. A very small pebble flew up from the road onto the lower passenger's side windshield, creating a small chip, approximately 2 mm, in the glass. Within 10 minutes, the glass started to hairline crack leftward by about 4 inches. I parked the car and checked a few hours later, and the crack was deeper and over a foot in length. It continued to grow with the car was parked, and was about 18 inches when I left work several hours later. I marked the end point of the crack on the inside glass when I arrived home to see if the crack would stabilize in size. The car was parked overnight and the crack has continued to grow in length and appears deeper this morning. What should have been a small chip, that would have been easy to repair, has become a major crack in the glass, one that continues to grow and is obscuring visibility as a result. My cost estimate to replace the windshield is over $1,000. It's my opinion the glass is as weak in my model car as in other Subarus that have this known glass issue where the repairs were covered under warranty.

Battery replaced last year at dealer under battery class action lawsuit. Car was stored using a battery tender from May through January and put back into service with regular use several times a week. Today car failed to start. Have appointment with dealer tomorrow. A battery is not a permanent fix and does not instill confidence that you will not be left stranded. Subaru is aware there is a problem with their Starlink system and the use of 3g. The system keeps attempting to make contact using the defunct 3g network thereby draining the battery and stranding the vehicle.

Starting in late October 2023 I began having multiple dead batteries despite replacing the battery and having the battery tested on several occasions and it tested fine. Frustrated with the inconvenience I decided to google the problem and discovered information on the car’s DCM searching for the 3G network which no longer exists. The constant search, even when the vehicle is off causes the battery to die. I am a caregiver and my clients depend on me to be at their homes when I’m scheduled to be there. They depend on me to use the bathroom, to be fed, to be kept safe, to be transported to doctors appointments and other places among other things. My regular mechanic as well as a mechanic at Anchor Subaru both confirmed the DCM was causing the battery to drain. There was no warning at all.

I am a first time Subaru owner and I have an issue with the windshield. November 2023 had a large crack in the windshield and an actual piece of glass came into the car from the inside. I had the windshield replaced by Gerald Subaru of North Aurora Illinois. In January of 2024, as I was pulling out of my garage, I noticed another crack in the new windshield. I had not driven the car in a week and was actually out of state for 2 weeks in December. My car is garaged and do not recall anything hitting the windshield. Went back to Gerald Subaru and they found an extremely small chip up near the top of the windshield. I have reached out to Subaru both by phone and by email and thus far there has been no response. I truly feel these are defective windshields.

My Legacy has a battery drain issue. I was told by the dealer it is a DCM. I have already replaced my battery and the car is dead with a new battery installed. This dead battery issue has left me stranded which I feel is extremely unsafe. If I can’t find someone to jump me, I could be left stranded again and New England weather is nothing to joke about.

Keep burning oil. I’m being told it’s normal and I know for sure it’s not leaking.

Had to jump start the car with the original Subaru several times in 2020 and 2021, to the point that I carry a portable battery starter kit. In 2023, 1/16/23, at inspection I broke down and bought a new battery before I was aware of the recall. No problem. Come 1/1/24 I go to start my car and the battery is dead dead dead. The DiHard battery is 1 year old. I have had to jump start the car 3 times this year, and it is 1/7/24. The vehicle has 36,000 miles on it. I had the battery tested today at National Tire & Battery, where I purchased the battery on 1/16/23, and it is operating within parameters. But that's to be expected since I had driven the car there. This is not a battery issue. It has to be an electrical system issue. I have an appt. with Subaru on 1/22/24 to investigate the issue.

Subaru Starlink system constantly drains battery, leaving driver and passengers stranded. The Starlink is constantly looking for a 3G network, and my area has updated all 3G networks to 5G. After shutting car off, the Starlink will continuously search and drain battery so it will not start. The only temporary fix is to remove the fuse and disable the module. The Starlink is supposed to help in the case of an emergency, but it cannot help if the battery is dead. dealerships have acknowledged the problem but will only offer a fix for the replacement of the module for a sum of about $ 1,300.00.

Vehicle was using the self driving feature of the Subaru Eyesight system. With the system engaged, the vehicle is supposed to accelerate and apply brakes accordingly as to keep a distance from the vehicle in front. Today, that system failed. The vehicle, with the Eyesight system engaged, accelerated right into the vehicle in front. There was no warning. The vehicle will be go for repair on 12/5/23. I have used the Eyesight system since purchasing the vehicle in 2019 with no issues, except for today. Luckily, I was driving at a very low speed but this safety concern can cause catastrophic injuries if it is not fixed.

The "infotainment system" screen is delaminating. I can not see my surroundings when in reverse. The system is paired with my mobile telephone and randomly calls persons in my contact list without my requesting it do so. The radio can not be turned off and it consistently makes noises as if it is attempting to scan different radio stations. These defects first appeared at 34,000 miles, well below the 36,000 mile warranty period.

Parasitic battery drain from the DCM that is known by Subaru but proper long term repair is not offered easily. Please force them to do the right thing!! This should be a covered fix offered to every affected vehicle.

Battery's keep dying we've went through 3 in the last 6 months,we've been told it's a faulty dcm module ,I put the latest date this happened in the date below

The radio, which is also impacts screen, is defective. It is available for examination. The radio jumps stations with beeps, the sound can’t be eliminated by turning down the volume. It indiscriminately jumps from satellite to FM. It will hold a station for a while but then it jumps around. I get a few seconds of a music or talk station and then it jumps. It is a safety hazard since the beeps distracts the driver. It doesn’t recognize AppleCarPlay that is used for GPS navigation. The screen when it manages to show the menu, does not respond to touch so you can’t use GPS or access other vehicle processes such as clock, brightness, etc. I can’t use the phone for navigation while charging only seeing turn-by-turn directions, no map. The dealer has ordered a replacement radio but it is back ordered. The vehicle has not been inspected by anyone other than Dan Perkins Subaru in Milford, CT. No warning indicator, it just started exhibiting the jump problem. The experience started gradually and would go back to working order. It got worse over several months, first appearing 7 months ago. Internet search shows this is an issue with several Subaru models and years.

Touch screen driver information system has random display and audible warnings. Audio and navigation display cannot be controlled and does random radio channels and map displays. The screen developed bubbles under the front panel that appears to activate the touch sensor for the display. This condition is very distracting to the driver and might cause unsafe vehicle operation. The display changing and beeping during driving causes an unsafe situation. It also impacts the ability to use and see the rear view camera as the display is distorted due to the delamination/bubbles. This problem was identified by many Subaru Legacy and Outback owners in 2018 which led to a recall and warranty extension for repairs. The radio/nav display is manufactured by Harmon. It was widely reported in 2019 and the problem persists. Subaru contends that the display bubbles are caused by liquid contamination of the display, but this has not occurred in our vehicle, and dealers will not accept responsibility for the defective displays.

Car wont start after having a new battery (only 2 months old) put volt meter on battery and reads 5.76 volts. Put 2 amp charger on it for an hour and car starts and voltage meter shows 12.26 volts after i shut it off. This is clearly an electrical problem that Subaru is trying to put off as a battery issue. This car only has 22 thousand miles on it and it is unreliable.The dealer says there is nothing wrong but anybody that knows anything about cars will disagree.

The windshield of my vehicle randomly cracked from the driver’s side at the base of the windshield to about halfway across. Nothing hit the windshield whatsoever. I just heard a low sounding pop and discovered the crack.

2019 Subaru Legacy battery drain. The car would not start, it was jumped in February 2023. In March, the car would not start and it was jumped and taken to the Subaru Serramonte dealer, a claim was filed for the extended warranty and the battery was replaced at no charge. In April 2023, the car would not start, it was jumped and taken to the dealer, the battery was replaced at no charge. In June 2023, the car would not start, it was jumped and taken to dealer where it is now not jumpable and the dealer says the electrical system is draining the battery through the On Star system. There is a 2-month back order on the part, at which time the car is not usable. The dealer claims they cannot disconnect the On Star system due to safety issue.

After my 2019 Subaru Legacy 2.5i Limited sat outside on a level blacktop parking lot for one week (05-03-23 to 05-10-23) without moving, both passenger side tires were discovered completely deflated. The tires were Goodyear Eagle LS-2 size 225/50R18 95H (front passenger DOT M678 JR2R 1819 and rear passenger DOT M678 JR2R 1719). The tires were original to the car when purchased new by myself at Jenkins Subaru in Bridgeport WV on 09-23-19 with 26 miles on the odometer. The tires had 32,515 miles on them and were rotated 6 times. Sever dry rot on the tires sidewalls was the reason given by the Goodyear technician, Goodyear Service Center, 149 Green Bag Rd, Morgantown, WV, 304296-1748, for complete deflation. It was also recommended that the remaining divers side tires be replaced as they were also displaying sidewall dry rot (front drivers DOT M678 JR2R 1719 and rear drivers DOT M678 JR2R 1819). All four tires were replaced with new Goodyear Eagle LS2 tires (2 on 05-10-23 and 2 on 05-12-23).

While at a red light, and with foot firmly on brake pedal, the car suddenly began to rev and lurched forward. All the dash indicator lights (Brake, Engine, Lane Departure, etc.) lit up. I was able to keep the car from hitting the vehicle in front of me and managed to put the car in "park" until the light turned green, at which point I put the car back in "drive," pulled into USPS parking lot, collected myself, then drove to my local mechanic (~.25 miles). Braking to turn into mechanic's location the vehicle again revved and was difficult to slow, but I managed to do so, park, and left for them to examine. Later, and on local mechanic's advice, drove (without incident) to Subaru dealer in Milford, NH to drop off for them to investigate amid recent trend in unanticipated acceleration problem and pending class action lawsuit.

Frequent battery charge draining requiring external charging/jump starts

Power steering stopped working. I see online this problem was reported with other Subaru vehicle 2019 models and a recall was made but for some reason my car is not included. I believe this is the same issue of faulty equipment.

I have owned my car since January 2019. I replaced the battery in November 2022 because the car wouldn't start after being left home for a week with no one driving it. In January 2023, I had to replace my battery because the car wouldn't start after not driving it for a weekend. I was told the battery was faulty. Now, on March 1, 2023, my car won't start again since no one drove it yesterday. The fob won't even open the doors. I have heard that there is a lawsuit open over my car make, model, and year because of a battery drain problem.

Fuel Pump failed. Available for inspection upon request. Vehicle shut down near a busy intersection. There were no warnings, just failed while leaving a restaurant.

If the car is not driven for multiple days, the battery completely dies. Recharging the battery resolves temporarily. Replacing the battery does not resolve the battery draining quickly. Dealer mechanic confirmed there is no unexpected drain on battery. There are no warning lights or messages.

During small front end collision, car’s engine failed and car sparked a fire resulting in total loss of vehicle. California highway patrol was called and a report was filed. Insurance was contacted and conducted own investigation to rule car as a total loss. No prior warning lights or messages appeared prior to accident.

Touch screen driver information system has random display and audible warnings. Audio and navigation display cannot be controlled and does random radio channels and map displays. The screen developed bubbles under the front panel that appears to activate the touch sensor for the display. This condition is very distracting to the driver and might cause unsafe vehicle operation. The constant display changing and beeping may also stimulate seizure symptoms for affected people also causing unsafe operation. This problem was identified by many Subaru Legacy and Outback owners in 2018 which led to a recall and warranty extension for repairs. The radio/nav display is manufactured by Harmon. It was widely reported in 2019 and the problem persists. Subaru contends that the display bubbles are caused by liquid contamination of the display, but this has not occurred in our vehicle, and dealers will not accept responsibility for the defective displays.

Acceleration is uneven/hesitant. I think it’s the fuel pump. 56,000 miles on vehicle.

ON 17JUL2022 A LONG CRACK APPEARED IN THE WINDSHIELD(FRONT). THIS CAN BE DANGEROUS AS THE WINDSHIELD CAN BREAK AND IMPACT MY SAFETY IN THE CAR AS WELL AS THE SAFETY OF OTHERS AROUND THE CAR.

Battery keeps draining and dying. Replaced battery in October 2021, December 2021 and February 2022. Battery dead again June 2022.

The front drivers seat was making a creaking noise. The noise is coming from a faulty weld in the seat frame. Research into the the problem shows numerous other complaints about the seat frame creaking for the legacy.

Battery dies if car not used for a period of time. No telling when this will happen. Problem worse when ambient temperature cold but has happened in summer as well. Sometimes when not driven for a week but other times just a couple days. Has not stranded me yet, but not hard to imagine leaving at an airport and coming back to a dead car in a dark parking structure. Not even enough power to open the doors with fob. Taking it to dealer in a couple weeks for recall(fuel pump) and this problem. They may replace battery but as in other Subarus I figure the problem will persist.

I walked out to my car this afternoon to find my third cracked windshield since I purchased the car in September of 2019. I have reached out to the dealership and they have denied any issues and are unwilling to say there are any problems. As many reports and lawsuits are pending, I am trying to figure out what to do.

Winshield cracked with unknown reason

UNKNOWN Spontaneous, crack located near perfect center of lower windshield.

Windshield cracks very easily with no outside force inflicting damage. Windshield has cracked 2 times in 2 years.

Windshield developed small crack & expanded to windshield wide in a few hours. Cracked windshield & crack expansion is unsafe. Not reproduced or confirmed. Not inspected. No warning lamps.

IN OUR 3 YEAR OLD SUBARU LEGACY THE BATTERY IS DYING IF WE DO NOT START THE CAR EVERY TWO DAYS. ON THE THIRD DAY THE BATTERY IS DEAD AND NEEDS TO BE JUMPED. i TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, WHILE IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY, AND WAS TOLD THAT THE BATTERY WAS FINE AND THERE WAS NO ISSUES FOUND.. i HAVE SINCE LEARNED THAT THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT ONGOING FOR OTHER SUBARU MODELS WHERE THERE IS A BATTERY DRAINAGE PROBLEM.

3 TIMES i HAVE CHANGED OUT THE WINDSHIELD With Not ever having anything hit it.

The windshield has chipped and cracked excessively with no cause. I have a low mileage vehicle that has now experienced 4 separate incidents where the windshield chipped and/or cracked with very little impact. On one occasion, the car was stopped completely but suddenly the windshield popped and cracked directly in front of the driver. I am afraid to drive the car for fear that the windshield is a danger to me and my passengers.

The contact owns a 2019 Subaru Legacy. The contact stated that the front windshield cracked without impact. The windshield was replaced. The manufacturer was informed of the failure and informed the contact that they were unable to assist. The failure mileage was approximately 50,000.

Purchased used vehicle in October 2020 with 1800 mileage. In April 2021 at 4000+ miles the vehicle (garage-kept) would not start. Attempted to recharge the battery 3 times over several days but it would not maintain the charge. Needed to call Roadside Assistance and have vehicle towed to the dealership (25 minutes away from my home). Dealership service department drained/dead battery and replaced with new battery.

I've had this occur two times. Other vehicles pulled out in front of me, and the Eyesight technology applied the brakes very, very hard. There was sufficient room between me and the vehicles that pulled out in front of me, so the very, very hard braking wasn't necessary. I would have just taken my foot of the gas peddle, and would have been fine. The problem is when the vehicle itself applies the brakes very, very hard the car behind you almost runs you over because visually there's no reason to be applying the brakes so hard.

While driving on the Highway a small stone struck the windshield of my 2019 Subaru Legacy resulting in an immediate 18 inch crack with separation of the external glass. This is the 3rd windshield that has failed on my Subaru. One previous failure resulted in glass cracked on both the outside and inside of the windshield in separate intercepting paths. I know that windshield failure has been common amongst Subarus since 2016 and I am wondering how this can still be unresolved. The failures are so immediately dramatic in length there is no repair possible and the safety integrity of the glass is compromised.

I OWN A 2019 SUBARU LEGACY. I AM VERY SHOCKED THAT I HAVE EXPERIENCED THREE MAJOR WINDSHIELD CRACKS WITHIN ONLY 18 MONTHS OF PURCHASING THE VEHICLE. THE FIRST ONE WAS ONLY 5 MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR (02/07/20), THE 2ND TIME WAS 7 MONTHS LATER (9/17/20), AND THE 3RD TIME WAS ON MAY 1ST, 2021. THE CRACKS CAME OUT OF NOWHERE; ONCE WHILE DRIVING ON A LIGHT TRAFFIC STREET, ONCE WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY, AND ONCE WHILE THE CAR WAS PARKED. REPLACING THE WINDSHIELD FOR THE SUBARU IS VERY EXPENSIVE! THE COMPANY REFUSES TO COVER THE COST. I HAD TO PAY $500 DEDUCTIBLE, WHILE MY INSURANCE PAID OVER $300+. I HAVE DRIVEN DIFFERENT TYPES OF CARS FOR MORE THAN 40 YEARS, SUCH AS HONDAS, CHEVYS, VOLVOS, AND FORDS, AND NOT ONE OF THOSE VEHICLES EVER HAD A WINDSHIELD CRACK. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE EVER OWNED A SUBARU AND CANNOT BELIEVE THE NIGHTMARE/EXPENSE IN DEALING WITH THIS PROBLEM WITHIN SUCH A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. I AM CONVINCED THERE IS A DEFECT EITHER WITHIN THE AREA OF THE FRAME OF THE CAR THAT HOLDS THE WINDSHIELD OR THE GLASS IS VERY POOR QUALITY, OR BOTH. IT IS NOT FAIR THAT SUBARU IS MISLEADING CUSTOMERS INTO BELIEVING THAT THEIR VEHICLES ARE SOME OF THE SAFEST IN THE CAR INDUSTRY. I HOPE ENOUGH SUBARU OWNERS WHO ARE DEALING WITH THE SAME PROBLEM ARE COMING FORWARD. ABOVE ALL, I HOPE SOMETHING IS DONE TO RESOLVE THIS TERRIBLE PROBLEM SOON.

CRACKED WINDSHIELD FOR NO APPARENT REASON. I HAVE ALREADY REPLACED IT SEVERAL TIMES. VEHICLE WAS ALWAYS STATIONARY.

WINDSHIELD CRACKED WHILE DRIVING - UNSURE IF ANYTHING STRUCK THE WINDOW OR NOT, BUT IT STARTED OFF AS A 6 INCH CRACK AND IN UNDER 24 HOURS HAS SPREAD TO OVER 2 FEET IN LENGTH. I HAVE READ WHERE MY YEAR/MAKE/MODEL IS CURRENTLY IN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT DUE TO FAULTY WINDSHIELDS AND I WOULD LIKE IT NOTED THAT I HAVE ALSO BEEN IMPACTED BY THE FAULTY OEM WINDSHIELDS THAT SUBARU IS USING.

I WAS DRIVING ON 167 FREEWAY GOING TO WORK THE NEXT DAY I FOUND A CRACKED A LONG LINE ON MY WINDSHIELD ALSO CRACKED FOUND ON LEFT DRIVER SIDE WINDOW.

I HAVE A 2019 SUBARU LEGACY PURCHASED IN SUMMER 2019. IT IS CURRENTLY 2021, AND I AM DEALING WITH MY 3RD CRACKED WINDSHIELD. I HAVE BEEN OVERLY CAUTIOUS ABOUT STAYING FAR FROM TRUCKS, DIRTY VEHICLES, LARGE VEHICLES AND JUST GENERALLY KEEPING DISTANCE AFTER THE FIRST TIME THE WINDSHIELD CRACKED. DESPITE ALL MY EFFORTS, I STILL ENDED UP WITH A CRACKED WINDSHIELD YET AGAIN. IT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE, AND I CANNOT CONTINUE TO SPEND HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS ON REGULAR WINDSHIELD ISSUES. THIS IS WHILE I AM PROACTIVELY TRYING TO AVOID THIS ISSUE. 1ST WINDSHIELD CRACK WAS JULY 2019 - A ROCK HIT MY WINDSHIELD 2ND WINDSHIELD CRACK WAS SEPTEMBER 2019 - JUST NOTICED A CRACK ONE MORNING, NOTHING ACTUALLY HIT MY WINDSHIELD TO MY KNOWLEDGE. 3RD WINDSHIELD CRACK WAS FEBRUARY 2021 - AGAIN, NOTICED A CRACK IN THE WINDSHIELD IN THE AFTERNOON, NO NOTICEABLE IMPACT OCCURRED.

THE WINDSHIELD GOT HIT BY A VERY TINY OBJECT (LIKELY A ROCK) AND HAD A CIRCULAR CRACK/CHIP AT THE LEFT LOWER QUADRANT ON 1/5/2021 WHEN I WAS DRIVING ON A FREEWAY. I TOOK THE CAR FOR WINDSHIELD REPAIR ON 1/9/2021. NOW THE DAMAGED AREA IS BIGGER WITH MORE FINE CRACKS. THE WINDSHIELD DID NOT GET HIT AGAIN AFTER 1/5/2021. THE REPAIR DID NOT CONTAIN THE DAMAGE.

SPONTANEOUS BREAKING OF FRONT WINDSHIELD. I PARKED THE CAR IN THE GARAGE AND THE NEXT MORNING THERE WAS A CRACK IN THE SHAPE OF AN UPPERCASE T APPROXIMATELY 7"X7". NO EXTREME HEAT OR COLD INVOLVED. THERE APPEARS TO BE A PINHEAD SIZE DENT POSSIBLY FROM A ROCK. THE CAR HAS ONLY 14K MILES

I NOTICED TODAY THAT MY WINDSHIELD HAS A CRACK THAT STARTS FROM WHAT APPEARS TO BE FROM THE BOTTOM TOWARDS THE ENGINE AND SHAPED LIKE THE NUMBER SEVEN. I DO NOT SEE ANYWHERE ALONG THE CRACK WHERE A CHIP APPEARS, WHICH LEADS ME TO THINK IT IS SOME SORT OF PRESSURE BREAK. AFTER READING THE RECENT ISSUES SUBARU HAS HAD WITH FAULTY WINDSHIELDS I FEEL THIS IS AN EXACT EXAMPLE OF THAT.

MY SUBARU LEGACY WINDSHIELD WAS DAMAGED RESULTING IN A CRACK 8/9/20 ON THE ROAD. THIS WAS REPAIRED. ANOTHER SMALL OBJECT HIT THE WINDSHIELD SHORTLY AFTER ON 10/11/20 THAT WAS TO BIG TO REPAIR AND NEEDED A WINDSHIELD REPLACEMENT. AFTER THAT ON 11/18/20 ANOTHER PEBBLE CRACKED THE REPLACEMENT WINDSHIELD WHILE ON THE ROAD. AMONG ALL THE CARS I'VE HAD, THIS CAR HAS THE MOST FRAGILE WINDSHIELD.

THE WINDSHIELD ON THIS VEHICLE CRACKS EASILY AND WITH MINIMAL DAMAGE. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE TWO WINDSHIELDS IN THE LAST YEAR DUE TO POOR GLASS QUALITY.

THE WINDSHIELD HAD A CRACK ON THE LEFT BOTTOM CORNER OF THE DRIVER'S SIDE BUT NO EXPLAINED REASON. THERE WAS NO AUDIBLE SOUND THAT LED TO THE CRACK. I HAD TO PAY $500 TO GET THE WINDSHIELD REPLACED AND THE EYESIGHT CALIBRATED. NOTICED THE CRACKED WINDSHIELD WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AT HOME.

A SMALL CRACK (ROUGHLY 2 INCHES IN LENGTH) APPEARED ON MY WINDSHIELD ON THE BOTTOM PASSENGER SIDE, WHILE I WAS DRIVING TO WORK. I NOTICED IT WHILE PARKED AT A RED LIGHT, BUT IT WAS NOT THERE WHEN I HAD STARTED DRIVING. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS SOMETHING ON MY WINDSHIELD BECAUSE I HADN'T BEEN HIT BY ANYTHING, IT JUST APPEARED. THE CRACK SPREAD CONSIDERABLY FURTHER BEFORE I ARRIVED AT WORK AND I HAD TO REPLACE IT THE NEXT DAY.

I TOOK MY SUBARU LEGACY TO THE LITTLE ROCK ARKANSAS SUBARU DEALERSHIP TO SERVICE A RECALL ON MY FUEL TANK. WHILE THERE THE SERVICE MANAGER REFUSED TO REPLACE PARTS LISTED ON THE TSB. WHEN I CONTACTED SUBARU THEY STATED A NEW TSB WAS ISSUED THE DAY BEFORE MY RECALL WAS COMPLETED NOT REQUIRING THOSE STEPS, THAT THE UPDATED TSB WOULD NOT BE PUBLIC, WOULD NOT PROVIDE ANY INFORMATION ABOUT THE NEW TSB AND THAT THEY WERE CLOSING MY COMPLAINT.

WINDSHIELD CRACKED FOR NO REASON.

ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS I WAS STARTLED BY A LOUD POP KIND OF NOISE COMING FROM THE WINDSHIELD AREA WHILE DRIVING. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WAS AROUND TO CAUSE THIS EITHER TIME AND NOTHING WHATSOEVER HAS HIT THE WINDSHIELD SINCE I'VE OWNED THIS CAR. I AM THE SOLE DRIVER. ON BOTH OCCASIONS, I WAS DRIVING DOWN A STRAIGHT ROAD GOING 50MPH ON MY WAY TO WORK (A 10 MINUTE COMMUTE). THE MORNING AFTER THE SECOND OCCURRENCE, I GOT INTO MY CAR TO FIND A CRACK ON THE LOWER PASSENGER SIDE OF MY WINDSHIELD ABOUT 2/3S OF THE WAY DOWN AND STARTING FROM THE OUTER EDGE. THERE HAD BEEN NO CRACK OR ANY HINT THAT SOMETHING WOULD HAPPEN WHEN I LEFT MY CAR THE DAY BEFORE. HOW DOES A CRACK JUST APPEAR OVERNIGHT WITH ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO CAUSE IT? I HAVE NEVER IN MY LIFE HAD THIS HAPPEN. THE CAR WAS ABSOLUTELY STATIONARY, NO NEARBY TREES OR ANYTHING THAT COULD CAUSE ANY IMPACT. DUE TO COVID, THE CRACK SAT FOR QUITE SOME TIME, WHEN I FINALLY GOT TO MAKE IT TO THE SUBURU DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT MY CAR, THEY DENIED MY CLAIM. THE TECHS SAID THEY COULD FIND NO CHIP OR ORIGINATION FOR THE CRACK... (BECAUSE THERE WASN'T ONE) THE TECHS AGREED IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY BUT SUBURU STILL DENIED MY CLAIM. I'M NOW OUT $1103.00

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR WITH NO OTHER CARS AROUND, MY WINDSHIELD CRACKED. THE CRACK NOW HAS GROWN TO THE CENTER OF THE WINDSHIELD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 SUBARU LEGACY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE HIS VEHICLE WAS PARKED UNDER A TREE, AN ACORN HAD FALLEN FROM THE TREE AND CRACKED THE WINDSHIELD ON THE DRIVER SIDE. THE CRACK SPREAD FROM THE DRIVER SIDE SPREAD AND BEGAN TO ZIG ZAG THREE INCHES DOWN THE WINDSHIELD. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT HE DISCOVERED A CRACK ON HIS FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW THAT ALSO ZIG ZAGS FROM THE UPPER RIGHT HAND CORNER DOWN TO THE MIDDLE BOTTOM PORTION WINDOW. THE CONTACT CALLED AUSTIN SUBARU(8100 BURNET RD, AUSTIN, TX 78757) WHERE HE WAS INFORMED TO BRING IN THE VEHCILE TO THE DEALER FOR AN INSPECTION. THE MANUFACTURER HAD YET TO BE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE HAD YET TO BE REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

TL* THE CONTACT'S WIFE OWNS A 2019 SUBARU LEGACY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HIS WIFE RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 20V218000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). HIS WIFE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO BROWN'S MANASSAS SUBARU (9018 LIBERIA AVE, MANASSAS, VA 20110) WHERE THE RECALL REMEDY WAS PERFORMED AND THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO THE CONTACT'S WIFE. ABOUT A MONTH LATER, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AFTER HIS WIFE MADE MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO START THE VEHICLE. DUE TO THE FAILURE, HIS WIFE HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO FAULKNER SUBARU BETHLEHEM (330 STOKE PARK RD, BETHLEHEM, PA 18017) WHERE THEY DISCOVERED THAT THE FUEL PUMP WAS CORRODED AT THE ELECTRIC CONNECTIONS. THEY STATED THE CORROSION WAS CAUSED BY A FUEL LEAK THAT HAD LEAKED INTO THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTION. THE DEALER SHIPPED THE FUEL PUMP TO JAPAN TO HAVE AN INVESTIGATION LAUNCHED INTO THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER HAD YET TO BE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE ORIGINAL DEALER BROWN'S MANASSAS SUBARU (9018 LIBERIA AVE, MANASSAS, VA 20110)) WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND OFFERED TO ASSIST REGARDING THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE REMAINED IN THE POSSESSION OF FAULKNER SUBARU BETHLEHEM (330 STOKE PARK RD, BETHLEHEM, PA 18017). THE VEHICLE HAD YET TO BE REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

THERE IS AN 18 INCH CRACK IN OUR WINDSHIELD. WE HEARD A SOFT 'POP' NOISE WHEN WE WERE DRIVING STRAIGHT ON A LEVEL ASPHALT ROAD AT A LOW SPEED. NO ROCKS OR OTHER OBJECTS HIT THE GLASS. WE LOOKED AROUND TO SEE WHAT IT WAS AND WE NOTICED THE CRACK. IT IS ABOUT 18 INCHES LONG AND STARTS AT THE EDGE OF THE GLASS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE.

WINDSHEILD CRACKED AND HAS TO BE REPLACED

WAS DRIVING TO WORK WHEN A TINY ROCK HIT MY WINDSHIELD ABOUT 3 INCHES FROM PASSENGER SIDE OF GLASS. IT WAS ABOUT HALFWAY UP THE WINDSHIELD. THE ROCK HIT WAS BARLEY AUDIBLE, ALMOST DIDN'T NOTICE IT. WHEN I GOT TO WORK I INSPECTED IT AND FOUND THE SLIGHTEST SCRATCH, NO CHIP, NOT ANY SIGNS OF A CRACK. SO I DIDN'T WORRY ABOUT IT. WHEN I GOT IN MY CAR AT LUNCH NOTICED A CRACK FROM SIDE TO SIDE OF WINDSHIELD. I CAN TAKE MY FINGERNAIL AND FEEL THE CRACK ON BOTH SIDES. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. WHAT ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO DO ON ROAD TRIPS, STOP AND GET YOUR GLASS REPLACED EVERY TIME YOU GET A CHIP. I DO NOT FEEL THIS CAR IS SAFE TO DRIVE WHEN THE WINDSHIELD IS CRACKED FROM SIDE TO SIDE. NOT TO MENTION YOU CAN GET A TICKET OR TOLD TO PARK THE CAR WHEN IT IS IN THE DRIVERS VIEW! *TR

THE WINDSHIELD OF THE CAR CRACKED OVERNIGHT, WHILE IN STATIONARY, PARKED ON THE CITY STREET IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA. I PARKED MY CAR IN FRONT MY HOUSE ON SUNDAY, AUG 11, 2019, AND WHEN I WENT OUT IN THE MORNING OF AUG 12, 2019, THE WINDSHIELD WAS CRACKED. AT THAT POINT, I HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR 10.5 MONTHS WITH A MILEAGE OF ABOUT 5500 MILES. THE CRACK STARTED FROM THE LOWER PART OF THE WINDSHIELD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND EXTENDED TO THE MIDDLE OF WINDSHIELD, ALMOST TO THE DIVER'S SIDE. I NOTIFIED THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT IT'S NOT COVERED BY THE COMPANY. I HAD TO GET IT FIXED AT MY OWN EXPENSE.

FRONT WINDSHIELD HAS CRACKED TWICE WITHIN 6 MONTHS FOR NO APPARENT REASON AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE. THE CRACKS WERE BOTH ON THE DRIVER SIDE, MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SEE WHILE DRIVING.

THE ISSUE IS WITH THE REAR MIDDLE SEAT BELT INTERFERING WITH REAR PASSENGER SEAT BELT BUCKLE. THIS WAS BROUGHT TO THE DEALER WHO MENTIONED IT LOOKED FINE BUT THEY CAN MOVE IT OVER. AFTER A FEW DAYS, THE SEATBELT REVERED BACK TO THE INCORRECT POSITION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 SUBARU LEGACY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WINDSHIELD CRACKED WITHOUT IMPACT. SUBARU OF MUSKEGON (1878 E. STERNBERG RD MUSKEGON, MI 49444, (888)575-4596) INFORMED THE INSURANCE COMPANY THAT THE WINDSHIELD WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CRACK EXTENDED ACROSS THE WINDSHIELD. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT INFORMED OF TE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 29,000.

DRIVING DOWN THE EXPRESSWAY AT A SPEED LESS THAT 50MPH WHEN MY WINDSHIELD CRACKED UNEXPECTEDLY AND SEEMING FROM NOTHING BEING FLUNG TOWARD THE VEHICLE OR DROPPING FROM THE SKY.

EVER SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THIS YEAR, ALL WARNING LIGHTS AND EYE SIGHT HAVE COME UP ON THE DISPLAY SCREEN EVERY 2-3 WEEKS. TWICE IT'S GIVEN THE CODE THAT SOMETHING IS BLOCKING THE SHUTTERS. TRIED CLEARING SHUTTERS, BUT NO SUCCESS. TRIED REPLACING ASSEMBLY; STILL DIDN'T WORK. FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED, CAR WAS STATIONARY. NEXT 3 TIMES, CAR WAS IN MOTION. ALSO TRIED RE-SETTING COMPUTER SYSTEM, BUT WARNING LIGHTS AND EYE SIGHT WOULD COME ON AGAIN IN 2-3 WEEKS. MUST BE A DESIGN FLAW SOMEWHERE TO HAVE THIS HAPPEN FOUR TIMES, EVEN AFTER REPLACING ASSEMBLY! MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE WAS ON 1 MARCH 2020. THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING IN A NEW VEHICLE!

WHILE DRIVING MY WINDSHIELD CRACK. NOTHING HIT IT. IT JUST BROKE WHEN I DROVE OVER A BUMP IN THE ROAD. ON A COUNTRY HIGHWAY.

DEFECTIVE WINDSHILED - REPLACED BY SAFELITE -555 N MCLEAN BLVD ELGIN,IL ON AUGUST 16TH.2019 CAR WAS LEASED ON APRIL 16TH.2019 AS BRAND NEW. COST TO REPLACE WAS $539.04. CAR WAS STATIONARY WHEN I SPOTTED DEFECTIVE WINDSHIELD.

CRACKED WIDSHEILD A PEEBLE HIT IT AND WITHIN A COUPLE OF DAYS I HAD TO GET A WINDSHIELD

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 SUBARU LEGACY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY OF THE RESIDENCE, THE WINDSHIELD CRACKED WITHOUT BEING STRUCK BY A FOREIGN OBJECT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WINDSHIELD CRACKED IN THREE SEPARATE PLACES WHILE PARKED AT THE RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO (ST J AUTO BUICK GMC 500 MEMORIAL DR, ST JOHNSBURY, VT 05819 (802) 748-1355) WHERE IT WAS INSPECTED AND REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ANOTHER DEALER (WHITE RIVER TOYOTA 303 SYKES MOUNTAIN AVE, WHITE RIVER JUNCTION, VT 05001 (802) 299-2800) WHO ALSO REPAIRED THE WINDSHIELD. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 12,663.

I'LL BE REPLACING MY WINDSHIELD FOR THE SECOND TIME WITHIN A YEAR TOMORROW AND HAVING IT REPAIRED OVERALL FOR THE THIRD TIME WITHIN A YEAR. THE FIRST REPLACEMENT WAS DUE TO A SMALL PEBBLE KICKING UP FROM THE HIGHWAY CAUSING A SMALL STAR CRACK IN MY LINE OF SIGHT FORCING A REPLACEMENT BECAUSE THE PATCH STILL CAUSED LINE OF SIGHT ISSUES. LESS THAN A MONTH LATER ANOTHER SMALL PEBBLE CAUSED A SECOND CRACK. THIS TIME A PATCH WAS FINE AND LUCKILY WAS FREE. THIS MORNING I CAME OUT TO MY CAR, WHICH HAD BEEN PARKED ALL WEEKEND, AND WHEN I GOT IN SAW THAT THERE IS A LONG J SHAPED CRACK STARTING FROM THE TOP OF THE WINDSHIELD NEAR THE PASSENGER SIDE EYESIGHT CAMERA GOING ALL THE WAY DOWN AND AROUND THE DOT MATRIX PATTERN THAT COMES DOWN THE WINDSHIELD NEAR THE REAR VIEW MIRROR. THESE WINDSHIELDS ARE TERRIBLE AND I'VE NEVER HAD AN ISSUE WITH A WINDSHIELD BEFORE OWNING A SUBARU. IT'S UNFORTUNATE BECAUSE THE REST OF THE CAR IS GREAT. IF YOU'RE GOING TO BUY A SUBARU PROBABLY PREPARE FOR AN ANNUAL WINDSHIELD REPLACEMENT AND GET READY FOR THAT DEDUCTIBLE.

WHILE COMMUTING FROM PUEBLO COLORADO TO COLORADO SPRINGS ONE MORNING MY WINDSHIELD SLOWLY STARTED TO CRACK. I DROVE HOME TO PUEBLO ABOUT 12 HOURS LATER AND BY THEN THE SMALL CRACK SPREAD ACROSS THE ENTIRE WINDSHIELD. I ASSUMED THE COLD AIR IS WHY IT CRACKED.

WE PURCHASED THE CAR IN SEPTEMBER 2018 AND IN COLD WEATHER WE ARE UNABLE TO OPEN THE GAS TANK . WE , AND OTHER PEOPLE, HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALER, NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE . THE DEALERSHIP CALLED THIS A"DESIGN FLAW".

THE WINDSHIELD ON OUR 2019 SUBARU LEGACY CRACKED ON SATURDAY 12/21/2019. THERE WASN'T ANY CRACK IN THE MORNING WHEN I DROVE TO THE OFFICE. THE CAR WAS PARKED AT A COVERED PARKING SPOT THE WHOLE DAY. IN THE EVENING, I NOTICED A CRACK ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE WHILE I WAS DRIVING BACK. THERE WAS NO IMPACT ON THE WINDSHIELD WITH PEBBLE ETC WHILE DRIVING DURING THE DAY. WHEN I RESEARCHED ONLINE, I FOUND OUT THAT MANY PEOPLE ARE NOTICING THEIR 2017-2019 SUBARU CAR WINDSHIELDS ARE CRACKING LIKE MINE. SO I AM BRINGING THIS TO YOUR ATTENTION. I HAVE TO PAY $500 DEDUCTIBLE TO MY INSURANCE THIS WEEK AND GET IT REPLACED.

I HAD THE CAR LESS THAN A MONTH AND GOT HOME FROM WORK, PARKED THE CAR IN THE GARAGE AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE, THE VERY NEXT MORNING WHEN I WENT OUT TO GET IN MY CAR THE WINDSHIELD HAD A HUGE CRACK IN IT. I GOT THE WINDSHIELD REPLACED AND IN LESS THAN A MONTH THE WINDSHIELD CRACKED AGAIN.

I HAD 4,000 MILES GOODYEAR EAGLE LS2 TIRES WHEN I EXPERIENCED A SIDEWALK BLOWOUT ON THE EXPRESSWAY IN ANOTHER STATE. WE HAD TO HAVE IT REPLACED WHILE TRAVELING. THE REPAIR SHOP SAID IT WAS SUSPECT SINCE THERE WASN'T A FOREIGN OBJECT OR PUNCTURE, IT WAS JUST THE SIDEWALL THAT BLEW OUT. THERE WERE NO POTHOLES AROUND. FAST FORWARD 5 MONTHS AND ANOTHER TIRE DEVELOPED A BULGE IN THE SIDEWALL. I HAPPENED TO NOTICE IT WHEN I WAS AT THE GAS STATION. LUCKILY IT DIDN'T BLOW OUT. I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED ANY TIRE EVER BLOWING OUT OR BULGING IN ALL THE MILES I DRIVE. I'M ON THE ROAD ALMOST EVERY DAY FOR MY SALES JOB. TO ME THIS SEEMS LIKE A QUALITY ISSUE. I STILL HAVE THE SECOND TIRE IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO LOOK AT IT. THE AUTHORIZED DEALER I TOOK IT TO COULDN'T BE BOTHERED WITH A WARRANTY ISSUE. THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO MY WHEEL AT ALL AND I DIDN'T HIT A POTHOLE OR ROAD DEBRIS.

I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2019 SUBARU LEGACY 3.6R LIMITED AND 3 MONTHS LATER WITH APPROXIMATELY 900 TOTAL MILES THE BATTERY DIED TWICE WHILE PARKED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 SUBARU LEGACY. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO ADJUST THE SIDE MIRRORS TO VIEW THE BLINDSPOTS. THE MIRRORS FAILED TO ADJUST TO A 15 DEGREE ANGLE TO VIEW THE BLINDSPOTS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HENDRICK SUBARU SOUTHPOINT (200 KENTINGTON DR, DURHAM, NC 27713) WERE THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT READ ARTICLES THAT STATED THAT THE SIDEVIEW MIRRORS SHOULD BE ABLE TO ADJUST TO SEE INTO THE BLINDSPOTS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 175. *BF *TR

I'VE OWNED MY 2019 SUBARU LEGACY FOR EXACTLY ONE MONTH. YESTERDAY, WHILE DRIVING ON ROUTE 13 IN DELAWARE, I SAW A CRACK SPREAD FROM THE OUTSIDE RIGHT SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CARD AND SPREAD FOR ABOUT 15 INCHES SORT OF IN THE SHAPE OF AN "S". NEITHER MYSELF NOR THE PASSENGER SITTING IN THE FRONT SEAT HEARD ANYTHING HIT THE CAR NOR DID WE SEE ANYTHING. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE SUBARU DEALERSHIP THIS MORNING AND I WAS TOLD THAT SOMETHING VERY TINY HIT THE WINDSHIELD. HOW COULD SOMETHING THAT TINY CAUSE THAT KIND OF DAMAGE? I AM STILL UNABLE TO SEE THE IMPACT. THE SUBARU WINDSHIELDS MUST BE PAPER THIN. I WAS INFORMED BY THE SERVICE CLERK THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THAT SUBARU COULD DO TO HELP. I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED IN THEIR RESPONSE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 SUBARU LEGACY. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE "CHECK MOTOR ENGINE" AND TWO OTHER UNKNOWN INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO KEARNY MESA SUBARU (858-278-7100, LOCATED AT 4797 CONVOY ST, SAN DIEGO, CA 92111) WHERE THE COMPUTER SYSTEM WAS REPROGRAMMED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT NOT TO WORRY ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE WAS NOT REMEDIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 60.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 SUBARU LEGACY. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL TURNED ON ITS OWN TO THE LEFT. THE CONTACT MANAGED TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE STEERING WHEEL WITH NO ISSUE. ON ANOTHER OCCASION, WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH AND MAKING A LEFT TURN, THE STEERING WHEEL MADE A SHARP LEFT TURN AND BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON BOTH OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO PUTNAM SUBARU (LOCATED AT 85 CALIFORNIA DR, BURLINGAME, CA 94010, (888) 697-0962), BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE FAILURE CONTINUED AND MULTIPLE UNKNOWN WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,400.

I HAVE BOUGHT MY CARE ON 04/08/2019 AND SINCE THEN THE WINDSHIELD IS BROKEN TWO TIMES ON THE HIGHWAY . THE FIRST TIME JUST TWO WEEKS AFTER PURCHASING WHEN COMMUTING FROM WORK TO HOME ON HIGHWAY 99 I FELT A SMALL ROCK HIT THE WINDSHIELD WHICH CRACK STARTED TO GROW AFTER 10-15 MINUTES AND GREW TO THE SIZE OF FOUR TIMES GREATER THAN DOLLAR BILL WHEN WAS REPLACED.THE SECOND TIME I DIDN'T EVEN FELT ANYTHING BUT WHEN I GOT HOME AFTER A LONG DRIVE I REALIZED A CRACK WHICH GREW FAST. I FEEL LIKE THE QUALITY OF WINDSHIELD IS SO LOW THAT EVEN WITH A SMALL ROCK IT STARTS CRACKING . AT LEAST IT SHOULD STAY LIKE A CHIP IN THE BEGINNING.

WHAT WE NOTICE IS A CHANGE IN RESPONSE OF THE STEERING IN SOME SITUATIONS. COMING 'OFF-CENTER' THERE IS A SLIGHT CHANGE IN STEERING FEEL AND RESPONSE ' ALMOST AS IF IT HAS A DEAD SPOT 'ON-CENTER'. ADDITIONALLY, I HAVE NOTED A CHANGE IN RESPONSE AT HIGHWAY SPEED ENTERING AND EXITING CURVES. PARTICULARLY, THE STEERING HAS A NICE 'WEIGHTED' FEEL ENTERING AND MAINTAINING THROUGH THE CORNER, BUT JUST AS ONE BEGINS TO UNWIND THE STEERING AS THE ROAD STRAIGHTENS, THE STEERING CHANGES FEEL AND RESPONSE REQUIRING AN UNEXPECTED ADJUSTMENT. THE CAR SEEMS TO WANT TO TURN MORE AGGRESSIVELY INTO THE CORNER AS I BEGIN TO UNWIND THE STEERING. BOTH OF THESE RESPONSES SEEM TO BE MORE NOTICEABLE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. ONE MUST IMMEDIATELY CORRECT THE DIRECTION TRAVEL BY EITHER TURNING MORE INTO THE CURVE OR OUT OF THE CURVE. IN EITHER CASE, THE CAR RESPONDS AND THE NON-LINEARITY MOMENTARILY DISAPPERS

DRIVING ON AN OVERPASS AT 45 MPH, HEARD A POP AND SAW THE WINDSHIELD CRACK IT FRONT OF ME. IT STARTED AT THE BOTTOM RUNNING UPWARD THE TO THE RIGHT. THIS HAPPENED BEFORE ON 03/06/2019 AT 3,300 MILES AND NOW AGAIN 09/09/2019 AT 5,174 MILES. HAVE RESEARCHED AND DISCOVERED MANY EXAMPLES OF THE ISSUES INCLUDING PAST CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT.

ABOUT TWO WEEKS AFTER PURCHASING A 2019 SUBARU LEGACY, I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY IN HEAVY TRAFFIC WHEN SUDDENLY, FOR NO APPARENT REASON, THE SPEED OF MY VEHICLE WAS NO LONGER UNDER MY CONTROL. I WAS IN A PANIC FOR MY SAFETY AND LIFE! AFTER A FEW SECONDS OF THIS LOSS IN SPEED CONTROL, I EITHER APPLIED MY BRAKE OR ACCELERATOR (I AM NOT SURE WHICH) AND I REGAINED CONTROL OF MY CAR'S SPEED. A FEW MINUTES LATER, I NOTICED A NUMBER OF ICONS ON MY SCREEN THAT WERE STRANGE TO ME AT THE TIME. READING THE OWNER'S MANUAL DAYS LATER, I LEARNED THAT THE ICONS REPRESENTED THAT THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS IN EFFECT. THERE ARE MANY BUTTONS CLOSE TO THE STEERING WHEEL. I MUST HAVE INADVERTENTLY PRESSED THE BUTTON TO ACTIVATE CRUISE CONTROL. THIS COULD HAPPEN AGAIN BY ACCIDENT BECAUSE THESE CONTROLS ARE SO CLOSE TO THE STEERING WHEEL. EVEN THOUGH I KNOW WHAT HAPPENED, I COULD STILL ACCIDENTALLY PRESS THE BUTTON AGAIN AND POTENTIALLY COULD CAUSE GREAT INJURY OR EVEN DEATH! I WANT THIS FAULT CORRECTED ON MY VEHICLE BEFORE I OR SOMEONE ELSE GETS HURT! *TR *JS

WINDSHIELD CRACK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE STARTING FROM THE BOTTOM AT THE WIPER HEATER UPWARD AND AT AN ANGLE TOWARD THE MIRROR AREA. PARKED THE VEHICLE IN THE GARAGE, NO CRACK VISIBLE AND THE NEXT MORNING THE CRACK WAS VISIBLE UPON BACKING OUT OF THE GARAGE.

THE VEHICLE IS LESS THAN ONE MONTH OLD AND IT WAS FOUND ONE MORNING WITH AN 8 INCH CRACK IN THE WINDSHIELD. THERE WAS NO IMPACT MADE ON THE WINDSHIELD. THE CRACK IS COMING FROM THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER AND GOES TOWARDS THE CENTER.

MY CAR IS 2 WEEKS OLD. I USED THE DEFROSTER ON SATURDAY NIGHT AND ON SUNDAY MORNING THERE WAS A CRACK ON MY WINDSHIELD FROM THE BOTTOM CENTER. UP AND TO THE PASSENGER'S SIDE. I DO NOT HEAR A STONE HIT MY WINDSHIELD WHILE DRIVING. SUBARU SAID IT WAS A STONE AND IS CHARGING ME OVER $700.00 TO REPLACE IT. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR MANY YEARS AND HAVE NEVER GOTTEN A CRACK LIKE THIS. I BELIEVE IT IS A FAULTY WINDSHIELD THAT CRACKED WITH THE CHANGE IN TEMPERATURE.
