The contact owns a 2019 Subaru Impreza. The contact stated that while driving 20 MPH, the vehicle was jerking, shaking, and failed to accelerate as needed. The check engine warning light was intermittently illuminated. The failure nearly caused a crash. The vehicle was taken to AutoZone, where the oxygen sensor and spark plugs were replaced, but the failure persisted. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 147,600.

Front right caliper seized less than 3k miles following dealer service including brake fluid flush. Replaced calipers, pads, and rotors at my own expense. Suspect internal degradation of rubber brake lines. Service bulletin exists for year prior model. Many others report rubber brake line/caliper issues on this generation. Please investigate.

The cowl is the newest cowl on my 2019 subaru impreza and it still bowed like the original. Mine wasn't on the original recall and it bowed.

The contact owns a 2019 Subaru Impreza. The contact stated that while driving approximately 30-40 MPH, the vehicle rolled to a stop and stalled in hot and cold temperatures. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was jump-started by Roadside Assistance. The contact purchased a trickle charger. The local dealer was contacted, and the vehicle was diagnosed, and determined that the battery needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired three times, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was contacted, and a case was opened. The failure mileage was approximately 5,000.

When attempting to start the vehicle, randomly, the key loses programming. This is the 2nd time where the keys lose programming and vehicle has to be towed at owners' expense and wait as long as 5 days for dealership to reprogram.

The contact owns a 2019 Subaru Impreza. The contact stated while driving 5 MPH, while depressing the accelerator pedal the vehicle loss power. An independent mechanic was contacted. No warning light warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken an independent mechanic where the diagnosed the coil pack was melted and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was then taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed the coil pack had a shortage. The contact mention this failure has occurred on several different occasions. The vehicle was repaired as the coil pack and wiring was replaced. The contact was relating to the recall to NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V264000(ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING), however the VIN was not included in the recall. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, and they informed her because of the milage there was no recall. The approximate failure mileage was 145,866.

2019 Subaru Impreza has experienced intermittent and now persistent failures involving the factory EyeSight driver assistance system. Prior to complete failure, the EyeSight system would randomly disable and re-enable while driving. Adaptive cruise control and related safety features became unreliable and would intermittently stop functioning. The issue worsened over time and eventually resulted in repeated “EyeSight Off” warnings and multiple system fault messages. Vehicle diagnostic scans showed repeated U1235 “Lost communication with EyeSight” faults across multiple modules, including ABS, steering, transmission, and instrument cluster systems. Additional communication and airbag indicator-related faults were also present. The windshield was recently replaced due to a crack located near the EyeSight camera area. Subaru service personnel stated that EyeSight systems are extremely sensitive to windshield specifications and calibration requirements, and that aftermarket windshields may prevent proper operation or calibration of the system. Subaru also indicated that EyeSight calibration equipment is highly specialized and expensive, and that repair costs may not be practical relative to the vehicle value. Despite attempts to reset the vehicle systems and inspect the issue, the EyeSight system continues to malfunction and remains disabled. Because EyeSight controls important driver assistance and collision-avoidance features including adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning, lane departure warning, and automatic emergency braking, this issue creates significant safety concerns. The intermittent nature of the failure, repeated communication faults, and inability to reliably restore system operation raise concerns regarding the long-term reliability and serviceability of Subaru EyeSight systems.

Windshield lower plastic mount or cowl is getting detached creating a large visible gap between the cowl and windshield about 0.5+ inch. The gap runs across the middle of the windshield to its left and right side occupying about 50% in total. Gap is an issue when it rains, when it is snowing or other things since might get embedded on it.

On February 18, 2026, my 2019 Subaru Impreza displayed an “Emergency Service” alert and sent a MySubaru app message stating that Automatic Crash Notification, SOS Call, Stolen Vehicle Locator, and Roadside Assistance may not be available. A red SOS light also illuminated, and STARLINK sent alerts to Subaru each day I first started the car, prompting repeated dealer calls. I tested the SOS button and could hear the operator clearly. On March 6, 2026, a dealer diagnosed a faulty right dash speaker (B2A06 – telematics speaker circuit malfunction). The emergency system shares this speaker, so the system warned that safety services might not work. I paid $191 for diagnostics; the estimated repair is $216.69. I pay a monthly subscription for STARLINK safety services, but the vehicle’s warnings do not clearly indicate the real issue. Other owners of 2019 and similar Subaru models report persistent STARLINK/telematics errors, red SOS lights, and repeated dealer visits, suggesting this may be a broader systemic issue. I believe the warning system should specifically identify a failed speaker or audio circuit to reduce confusion, unnecessary diagnostics, and ensure drivers understand the true status of emergency safety features. My concern is that the vehicle’s warning system may mislead drivers into believing that critical safety systems are malfunctioning, when the actual issue is a non-critical speaker failure. A more specific diagnostic message indicating an audio system fault would be more useful.

The front suspension has been broken since I purchased the vehicle with 50,000 miles on it. This has always been a safety concern for this vehicle yet I see no recalls for it. This puts my safety at risk as there is a metal clunking sound when turning the wheel and the tire rod can break from the faulty parts used for the vehicle. The vehicle’s front suspension was checked by a car repair company that was changing my brake pads at the time and saw that there was a dire issue with the vehicle that could put my life at risk. I have not had any car accidents or any other issues that could have caused this, meaning it is faulty manufacturing on Subaru’s part. There are no warning lights for the suspension, there is no way to know if you have a suspension issue unless you get the vehicle checked, or in my case can hear metal clunking sounds as the wheel is moved left or right while turning. This issue has been seen by many other owners of the same vehicle make, model and year but there has been no effort to fix this safety issue.

The contact owns a 2019 Subaru Impreza. The contact stated that upon approaching the vehicle, excessive corrosion on the driver’s side rocker panel was observed. The contact inspected the passenger’s side rocker panel and found excessive corrosion. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who determined that the frame needed to be cut, and the rocker panel needed to be refabricated. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, a case was opened, and the contact was referred to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was 48,000.

TPMS safety system failure. Vehicle display of tire pressure readings on the dash has changed from displaying tire pressures for each tire to no pressures displayed (pressures are blank; on the Subaru App which also accesses this data, all tires show red/abnormal with dashes displayed) for several weeks now and TPMS error warning light remains illuminated on dash. Manufacturer has suggested I take car to dealer to diagnose at my upfront cost for their defect as the vehicle is out of warranty. A friend with the same car has experienced the same problem, replaced all TPMS sensors at their expense, still having this same problem despite the attempted fix. This safety defect is not being adequately addressed by the manufacturer despite contacting the advocacy department and corporate executive.

I attempted to get a safety recall (headlamp assembly defect) addressed at my local Subaru dealership. The vehicle is still under warranty, and I was told I may be able to get a loaner or rental. However, when I arrived, I was informed that the dealership only has 9 loaners and does not offer rental coverage at all, even for warranty customers. I had already spoken to someone about my need for a rental due to my class schedule and was led to believe this could be arranged. I drove down there, took time out of my day, and missed class — only to be turned away with no solution. Subaru’s recall notice acknowledges the increased risk of a crash due to poor visibility and glare. My vehicle remains unfixed and unsafe to drive, and I was left with no support despite my warranty and a safety recall. Subaru has not made it reasonably possible for me to address this recall. If an accident occurs while I wait for a proper resolution, I will hold them responsible. I am submitting this complaint to formally document my experience and push for accountability.

I had my vehicle inspected on 5/3/25 and all 4 break lines had bubbles protruding from the rubber break lines that go from the caliper to the metal lines. A safety recall for the same problem exists for 1 year earlier than my Subaru. It appears that Subaru continues to use defective break lines.

Description of the Problem: On or about [XXX], my 2019 Subaru Impreza experienced a sudden engine failure. The check engine light illuminated, and the engine shut off. Specifically, the check engine light came on approximately two minutes into the drive, and the engine shut off within 30 seconds of the light appearing. The vehicle was taken to Albany Subaru in Albany, CA, where a technician diagnosed the issue as a blown 15 amp ignition fuse and a damaged ignition coil (#4). Albany Subaru is recommending replacement of the spark plugs, coil packs, and the fuse. Albany Subaru has stated that "Subaru sent the recall out due to defective coil packs, and had the new updated coil packs installed. My tech is recommending to replace the coil packs due to the fuse blowing out and shorting out the current coil packs. The #4 coil was found damaged during the inspection." Connection to Recall: I am concerned that this current failure is related to the original defect addressed by Recall 21V264000. My vehicle had the recall service performed on November 14, 2019, to replace the ignition coils. It appears that the replacement coils, or an issue related to the recall repair, may have failed, leading to the blown fuse and further coil damage. I have asked the service technician at Albany Subaru to specifically determine if the current failure is in any way related to the original defect or the replacement parts installed under the recall. Safety Concern: This sudden engine failure poses a significant safety risk. A loss of engine power while driving can lead to a crash, especially at higher speeds or in traffic. In my experience owning many vehicles, I have never encountered issues with ignition coils, nor have I experienced this frequency of recalls.

Eye warning keeps coming on. Then resets a few days later.

Head unit constantly rebooting. Completely unable to use the head unit. No longer functional. Unable to power the screen off. Very distracting while driving especially at night. Power button no longer works. Started about a year ago, then randomly seemed to of temporarily resolved itself until a couple of months ago. Head unit is now 100% nonfunctional and constantly reboots. No warnings when first occurred. Issue has been confirmed by independent service center. Puts myself and others at risk due to the screen rebooting on repeat and no way to turn the screen off. Extremely distracting and unsafe

Subaru is aware of a specific set of year/model/makes that start to make a sound coming from the drive shaft center bearing in cold weather. Unnatural wear occurs on the bearing but the only remedy is to replace the entire drive shaft which is a really costly repair for something that is a structural design issue. There is a service bulletin for it: [XXX] It seems unfair that this is a repair the customer should take on when a drive shaft should likely survive the lifetime of a vehicle. This should be a recall. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Three engine check lights due to rodent damage within two weeks, even when I first bought the car in South Florida it had damage due to rodents and that when I first found out they use soy for the wires, I had thought the dealership I got it from had replaced it all but no. Fast forward 2-3 years later in a different state I had gotten the first engine check light and thought it was due to bad repairs from the place I bought it from, I had thought after the first repair they got rid of the soy wiring since it was expensive but then I happened a second time 140 miles after I fixed the first one. It was then on that I realized these were recent damage and not old so I decided to buy some things to deter rodents since it’s cold now. And now comes to the third time it gets damaged after snowing and melting a little. I haven’t even driven more than 10 miles and I already have to spend more on repairs. I might even have to get rid of the car altogether if this keeps happening. This damage means cruise control is off due to the car now being in a safe mode and also it cannot tell how hot or cold it is so overall running of the car is gonna be worse off. I’ve put noise/ light devices in the engine bay and also mint pouches made to deter mice and such and still had issues

When you put in reverse my 2019 Subaru Impreza Sport, the control display flashes green and is distorted. It is very difficult to detect an obstruction or a child when backing up. Recently we bumped a pedestrian. This Is A Safety Issue! The condition was observed at the Orlando Subaru dealer. Their solution is to replace the whole radio control unit at a cost of $1341. We ordered it to not gamble on safety.

I was under the vehicle changing the oil and heard a loud bang. I investigated the sound and didn't notice anything. After completion of the oil change I got into the driver seat and noticed my rear view mirror was hanging by the wires. It had come loose from the windshield taking a big chunk of glass out of the windshield. It left a gash approximately almost 3/4 of an inch deep by 1.5 inches long by about 3/4 of an inch wide. This seriously degrades the strength and puts any occupants at risk. The windshield can not be repaired and will have to be replaced. Cost of replacement is approximately $413.58.

Rear wheel bearing premature wear. Originally installed wheel bearings were replaced, under warranty, at 44,137 miles. Same bearings then had to be replaced again at 62,486 miles. Both replacements were done by Beardmore Subaru in Nebraska. A failed wheel bearing at high speed could result in a catastrophic accident, and requiring replacement at these low mileage levels is indicative of poor design or substandard parts.

Vehicle sways significantly and continuously left and right in lane at highway speeds, including in low or no wind conditions, since the car was new. This happens regardless of whether eyesight/lane keep assist is enabled or not, and all tire pressures are regularly monitored and at manufacturer recommended levels. Changing tires from the OEM Continental Pro Contact to Michelin CrossClimate 2, while maintaining OEM wheels and 205/55R16 tire size, has not impacted the car's behavior. This weaving occurs at speeds of 50-70 mph on the highway, including on straight, smooth road. Swaying does not disappear with absence of adjacent vehicles influencing air turbulence. Neighboring vehicle air wakes will cause significant additional pushing of the car to the opposite side of the lane. The steering feel of this car on the highway is extremely "floaty" and unsettling. It is challenging to maintain lane with no surrounding cars, and it is extremely dangerous when passing vehicles.

Owner’s manual calls for 87 octane fuel. Vehicle engine pings on anything less than 91 octane. Subaru should issue an update to prevent engine damage.

The power steering pump on this car makes it feel like it is floating on the road at highway speeds. The tires are like new and have the correct amount of air pressure. As someone familiar with power steering pumps, this behavior is consistent with a pump that is either delivering too much fluid or too little during acceleration. It is a dangerous situation since it gives the driver the impression that the car is losing contact with the road.

The cars left front and right front side headlight reflectors do not properly provide adequate reflected light, which lowers the visibility to other road users, almost causing a recent crash. Also, the left front halogen low beam reflector does not properly illuminate the roadway for the driver, substantially reducing driving visibility.

The front lights are low and barely does anything when driving in evening or late night, making it hard to see items ahead and almost causing accidents twice already. I can barely see railings while turning onto highway at night with these terrible front lights. It has been more than a year and a half since the recall and nothing is being done by the manufacturer to remedy the issue.

The cowl that fills the gap between the bottom of the windshield and the hood is defective and warps from the heat of the engine. This warping leaves a huge gap that exposes the bottom of the windshield and allows debris and water under the hood of the car. I was told this was a known issue with multiple Subaru models. The auto glass specialist I was sent to did not have a fix other than replacing it whenever it warps, which is prohibitively expensive when it only lasts about a year.

The left and right headlight assembly's do not provide sufficient lighting to safely drive at night. I was notified of this recall over 1.5 years ago and there has yet to be a remedy available yet. Because of this, I am unable to safely drive at night. I am unsure what to do at this point other than replace them myself, which I cannot afford to do. I had an incident where I ran over animal carcass on the road because I was unable to see the hazard until I was too close to properly react.

AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY IN AN SIDE IMPACT ACCIDENT

Recall still has no fix over a year later

Headlight quality is deficient. There has been an active recall since August 2022 for this issue. That is 14 months, and yet my car's headlight issue has yet to resolved by Subaru. This is unacceptable.

In the middle of the night I attempted to make a left turn into a parking lot (with headlights on). I was unable to see the ground in the front/left portion of my car. It wasn't until I had almost completed the turn that my light was pointing towards the turn enough that I was able to see I turned a few feet early and was pointed at the curb. I ended up striking the curb with my front left tire and went up over the curb. This scratched/dettached part of my bumper, removed my left fog light cover, and bent the tow "eye" underneath the car. I've noticed while making right turns it can be difficult to see the ground right in front of that corner as well.

It has been over a year since a recall regarding the headlights was announced by Subaru with zero communication as to when the necessary fix would be made available. There has since been no communication other than telling everyone that if you do decide to buy aftermarket headlights and install that it would void your rights to the recall. We need this looked into before someone gets into an accident because of these faulty headlights. It is hard to see in dark conditions leaving drivers to use the bright lights while also could cause accidents as well. The headlights are simply not effective at all on low in dark or night conditions. Please help us by looking into this.

I brought my car into my family mechanic to get an inspection after I noticed severe shaking when breaking and a burnt rubber smell. They determined the left front caliper was hanging and needed to be replaced- the caliper is covered under my warranty, so I brought my car into the dealership - service department at dealership was UNABLE to detect the issue for weeks until I gave them detailed instructions on how to find the issue, once they agreed the caliper needed to be replaced, the part was backordered until late august - I got my car back after they changed the caliper and the issue is still happening after long drives- dealership is still UNALBE to detect the issue - I am being told after market brakes are the issue

This is my first car and im completely disappointed I purchased it bc of safety. My car battery keeps dying I purchased my car in 2019 and since then i have changed it 4 times. I keep taking it to the dealer and telling them is a parasitic drainage and nothing yet. On top of that the recall for the headlights over a year and nothing. Im never buying a subaru again!

While driving on Sept 11 on I95 a pebble flew up off the roadway and hit my windshield on the left hand side (driver's side) and it immediately began to crack horizontally and went to the middle of the car. If the car is outside in sun/heat the windshield keeps cracking further across the windshield and is now reaching the passenger side of the car. This is a real safety issue. Called glass repair company and the first appointment they could provide was not until Sept 19th.

Windshield cowl continues to buckle from Windshield causing a gap where water can get to engine compartment. Have had it replaced twice now with no resolution. Being that I live in a state with very cold winters if water gets under the gap and then freezes it could potentially Crack Windshield. This needs to be addressed.

Subaru Safety Recall WRG-22 (NHTSA ID 22V-624) regarding inadequate front halogen headlamp lighting went out October 2022. This critical recall remains unresolved approaching 9 months now. No excuse for this. Why is this still unrevolved?

The manufacturer has a recall for front headlights not being bright enough and causing a danger to drivers. I no longer feel safe driving my vehicle at night as i cannot see the roadway nor other vehicles can see me. Its been almost a year and it’s taking a long time to remedy the recall. Please help!

The front headlights have been on recall for some time now. When I last contacted the dealership they said they wouldn't fulfill the repair and also said that they would no longer be making parts for the car and may not ever fix the headlights but I waited to see if that wasn't the case. You can check the date the recall was first made officially compared to today to see the timeline.

A spontaneous crack appeared in the windshield running from the bottom left, near the deicer, into the middle (when looking at the car from the outside). No accident was involved; it just appeared in the morning. Subaru is saying this isn't covered under warranty. There was a class action lawsuit for similar problems in other models manufactured in the same year, but it was settled with only Outback and Legacys included: https://www.windshields.settlementclass.com/

I have received two letters over the past six months, telling me that my 2019 Subaru Impreza has been recalled for faulty headlamps. When I contact my local Subaru dealer, SC, I have three times now been told that the part for the required repair is "not available." I feel as if I am driving a vehicle that is dangerous to me and to others. Can you tell me when the required parts will be available for the needed repair?

Left side light is very dim, very unsafe to use at night time. We cannot drive it at night.

Both front headlights provide very little visibility and do not shine far enough down the road to be safe at high speeds, especially in the mountains/low light areas. Have been waiting on a remedy from Subaru since being notified of the recall in October 2022.

The front headlamps on this vehicle are not bright enough and it is very hard to see when driving in areas that do not have street lights. Additionally, when it is raining hard, there are lots of puddles on the floor, making it even harder to see when there are obstructions or potholes in the road. I worry about getting into an accident because of low visibility caused by the defective headlamps. I called my local Subaru dealership today (2/22/23) and I asked whether I could fix the problem and then get reimbursed. I was advised not to do that and to let Subaru handle the issue. However, it has been over 5 months since this recall notice was sent out and there still hasn't been any remedy or even an explanation as to why the remedy is taking so long, or when a remedy can even be expected. Being that this is a safety recall that can cause serious accidents on the road, I need your assistance in urging Subaru to take this more seriously and provide a remedy to this ASAP.

While slowly pulling into a parking slot in a Wal-Mart parking lot, the car experienced an abrupt acceleration causing it to lurch forward at full throttle and it struck a parked vehicle in the next space. The accelerator pedal was not depressed. Upon investigation I discovered that there have been many reported incidents of this behavior with Subaru Imprezas, Foresters, Outbacks and Legacy sedans, engendering at least two lawsuits.

I have a Subaru 2019 Impreza. When parked in my drive way on a Los Angeles winter day, I turned on my defroster and my windshield cracked at the bottom center of the glass. I assume this has to be a defect given Subarus are made for more extreme conditions.

The windshield on this vehicle is defective. Over time for no reason scratches have appeared. Additionally now chips have occurred for no apparent reason. I have gently used an ice scraper as needed after defrosting the windshield enough to make it practical, however, my scraper is in excellent condition and was not misused. This should not cause a windshield to break down. There are also waves in the windshield that make for an uneven appearance in spots.

I was driving at 50 mph, suddenly heard a noise coming from the windshield and saw a big crack on passenger side of the windshield. The crack grew very fast, crossing about 75 of the windshield. The two parts of the glass on the side of the crack became separated. The visibility through the windshield was impaired by the crack. This is the second time it happens to the Subaru windshield in a short time. The first time I replaced it by the original Subaru windshield and it cracked again.

Windshield cracked while parked

While driving on highway, knee contacted key causing the ignition to turn off engine. Car began to decelerate. While care was still in drive, turned ignition switch on and engine returned.

A pebble hit my windshield and now there's a crack from the bottom all the way to the other side

I believe my car having some issues with fuel system, gasoline delivery, cooling down and exhaust system, electrical system:ignition. This vehicle only has 15,606 miles on it and should not be giving me this kind of problem.

The brakes on this car squeak constantly. Even after replacing brake pads and rotors the car still squeaks every time the brakes are used. After searching the issue I have found multiple Reddit forums of 2019 Impreza owners complaining of the same issue. I have filed a complaint with Subaru and the dealership I bought the car from (brand new) and they refuse to address this issue. It is extremely concerning to have a car that squeaks constantly as if there is an actual brake issue I would not know it since the car sounds like it has an issue already. If even replacing the rotors and brake pads does not fix this issue, I am concerned that there is a bigger issue at play that may reveal itself later. I ask that Subaru be required to fully look into this issue and correct the brakes for all owners as this is not unique to me and my vehicle.

While stopped at a light. My windshield cracked from the bottom to middle of the glass. No point of entry

Electrical issue affecting the headlights, radio, clock, gauges. Headlights constantly flicker/dimming, also causes the bulbs to burn out rapidly. Radio constantly losing power Clock/miles left in tank display resets occasionally The the speedometer and tachometer display loses power dropping all the needles to 0 for a second before popping back. These issues got worse after the last recall was done

There is a defect with the windshield, it randomly cracked. I saw there was a lawsuit filed already with Subaru.

One morning when I got in my car the windshield had a large crack. Driver side about half way down the crack is from left to right around 12-14”. There is no apparent reason I can see for the crack. I had not driven the car for 2 days prior to the crack appearing.

The battery dies sporadically when the car has been parked for a short time or a day or two. No telling when it will happen, but suddenly the car will not start. Subaru dealer says there's nothing wrong, but obviously there is. This has happened three times already, once in 25- degree weather with a 15-degree wind chill. I have checked all the lights and keep the headlights turned off, as I don't drive at night. So far this has happened only when the car is parked, but what if it happens when I am driving? Date given below is the third incident. The others were in late January and February.

The windshield cracked spontaneously. There are no signs of chips or any cracks indicating something hit it. The weather was chilly but not freezing and the vehicle was parked and unoccupied. The crack starts at the top and curves/snakes down the middle

Car was purchased in October 2018. In April 2019, just six months after purchase, the windshield was hit by a small rock. This small collision caused a crack to spread across the entire windshield requiring replacement. Windshield was replaced with Original Equipment Manufacturer glass. In December 2021, just over two years later, another small rock hit the windshield causing another large crack to spread across the windshield. We are now looking to replace for the second time, in just three years of car ownership, which is ridiculous. Looking online, I see many active lawsuits regarding this issue and the integrity of the Subaru glass. Having used other car brands for many years before purchasing my first Subaru, I know that it is highly unusual for such large cracking to happen from a simple rock ding. Other cars I have used in the past would get a small indent in the glass from being hit by a rock, but it would not spread and damage the entire windshield. I see I can only submit one date below, so I will submit two of these forms, one for each date.

Car was purchased in October 2018. Just six months later in April 2019, a small rock hit the windshield and led to a crack going across the entire windshield. This was replaced with Original Equipment Manufacturer glass. In December 2021, just over two years later, another small rock hit the windshield, again causing a crack to spread across the windshield. We are now looking at getting our front windshield replaced twice in just three years of ownership, which is ridiculous. I have seen that there are many active lawsuits again Subaru regarding this issue and the integrity of the glass. I know from previous vehicles that I have used, that usually a rock hitting the windshield may lead to a small indent/imperfection, but I have never experience this level of cracking from a simple rock ding. I am submitting this form twice to capture the first incident in April 2019 and the second in December 2021.

Front windshield spontaneously cracked running from bottom edge of windshield vertically up window for approx 10”

Vehicle was purchased new by original owner. Battery died at 5,709 miles and was replaced by dealer. I purchased the vehicle as a CPO. Second battery died at 8,077 miles and was replaced by dealer. Third battery died at 8,836 miles and was replaced by dealer. Old batteries were disposed of by dealerships, surely, and are not available for inspection. Safety concern is chiefly of failure when the vehicle is off, not during driving. Problem has been confirmed at each dealership visit. Note that there are several class-action lawsuits pending against Subaru for prematurely dying batteries. No warning was given by vehicle except for a slightly longer engine start the time before catastrophic draining of battery and failure of engine start. Though anecdotal, non-Subaru technicians feel it's not defective batteries but rather a defective electrical system, specifically the controller area network.

I have a 2019 Subaru Impreza and my windshield cracked for the second time in two years. I was driving and heard a loud pop and the windshield cracked from the top about a foot down. Nothing hit the windshield. The first time this happened, the car was sitting in the driveway. I have an appointment with the dealer tomorrow. I verified that this is happening to others and that there is a class action lawsuit against Subaru for cracked windshields: https://www.torquenews.com/1084/new-ruling-subaru-cracked-windshield-lawsuit-now-adds-25m-cars My make and model is included.

When driving the vehicle the engine was not getting enough power and it was shifting oddly. I took it in and was told there was excessive carbon buildup on the heads, and there is not a good fix for the problem. Without having the engine torn apart this could of caused the car to not speed up properly or the engine to malfunction while driving the vehicle. This could have caused serious injuries to me or others on the road if the problem would not have been addressed. The vehicle was taken to the Subaru dealership, where the engine had to be taken apart and the heads had to be machined to get the carbon off. I was also told there was no preventative maintenance to avoid this problem. There were no warning lamps, lights, or other warnings to notify me of the problem other than the engine not having normal power when over 2000 RPM. It has also taken the dealership almost 3 months and counting to find and address the issue.

WINDSHEILD CRACKED FOR NO REASON. Noticed crack after car sat in driveway all day.

The window trim underneath the windshield has a gap. I have taken it to a glass company and they said it was definitely a defect. The bottom trim/molding is separating from the glass and the clips that fit under the windshield do not stay in place. It is rubbing against the bottom of the windshield causing small chips. It’s just a matter of time before it cracks again. It cracked at 9k miles and is now at 13k miles with its second Subaru OEM windshield that has only been on for 2 Months. I feel this is the same situation as the class-action suit on spontaneous cracking windshields on Outback’s and Legacy’s, as well as the one now happening with 2017-2020 Crosstreks.

Purchased Impreza Limited 10/31/19. On 1/23/21, car would not start. AAA said battery not good & installed a new battery. On 7/4/21 car would not start; battery jumped by AAA. On 9/10/21 car would not start. AAA said battery not good & installed a new battery again—3rd battery since I purchased car. On 7/22/21 Subaru of Morristown said they checked for parasitic drain, and told me it is “within specs.” They said I don’t drive enough miles. End of July 2021 I (a senior woman) purchased a Battery Tender which I must attach to the battery whenever the car is parked in my garage.

The car windshield cracked while driving without any apparent reason. It is a large horizontal crack on the driver's side which affects visibility.

The windshield cowl separates at the bottom of the windshield for reasons such as heat. The separation grows over time and has the potential to detach on the highway partially or entirely. If detached partially, obstructs vision and scares. If entirely, could impact following vehicle. This problem is reproduced and confirmed by both my dealership and multiple independent online sources. Look for "windshield cowl seperation" topics for 17+ imprezas and 18+ crosstreks. This issue became apparent within the first year of ownership, was serviced at the dealership by replacing the part under warranty, and now has occurred once more in my second year of ownership. Attached photograph shows the beginning of separation (not the wiper). This can grow in size very quick. Noted additional details are dated for last occurrence, however as stated 1 more occurrence has occurred 1 year ago at approx 5,000 miles.

The windshield of the care cracked without damage. I was sitting with the car in park and just watched it crack. It started from the edge near the seal, and is ~8 inches long. There was no previous damage and nothing hit the window when it happen. There is no chip or area where damage occurred, it just simple cracked for no reason.

I have had the car since December of 2019, and have already replaced the windshield twice. The 2nd windshield I didn’t replace right away, after it was hit by a small rock, and it developed a 2 ft. crack directly across my field of vision. In the few months I waited to replace it I was hit by an additional 2 rocks and immediately developed 2 more large cracks(both over 6 inches). It’s obvious that something is defective about this windshield.

On May 8th of this year, my fiancé were involved in a rear end collision. That morning, the Hyundai Tucson in front of us stopped short and we ran into the back of it doing around 35 an hour, and ended up with our vehicle (Subaru Impreza) being totaled. I’d like to provide pictures to show the impact, as even car experts have been surprised that the airbags didn’t deploy. As it turns out, a sedan hitting into the back of an SUV means that the airbag sensors may be untouched (because they’re too low) and therefore, airbags will not deploy, even if the accident severe. To me, that is a defect in the design and should be reconsidered going forward. My fiancé broke his foot , which caused him to be out of work for at least 4 months and I got whiplash.

My vehicle starts to shake and the engine acts like it is going to die when I hit around 50-60 mph. I cannot floor it and the vehicle will not let me go any faster then 60mph without it acting like there’s no fuel getting to the engine or something in that sense

The contact owns a 2019 Subaru Impreza equipped with a Thule Bike Carrier Part Number: SOA567B020 as well as Thule roof cross bars . After his first two uses of his roof rack, which were a 10 mile trip and then a 400 mile trip, he noticed one of the two bolts connecting the front of the roof rack to the front roof cross bar had failed . A weld to attach the head of the bolt to the body of the bolt (i.e., Part# 753-0242-06) failed and the head separated from the body of the bolt . This failure of one bolt made the connection by the front roof rack assembly unit to the front roof cross bar loose, which resulted in the entire bike rook rack being only loosely connected to the roof cross bars and unstable. The manufacturer repeatedly failed to address the report of this defect in email exchanges with the contact, although the manufacturer eventually refunded the purchase price to the contact . The contact retained the defective bolt and roof rack.

Windshield spontaneously cracked while parked .

I was driving in stop and go traffic on the highway for several minutes. Everything worked fine until one moment when I went to press the brake pedal down and the pedal would not move. I used all my strength to push it down for several seconds. It was locked in position. I could not move it all. My car slid into a semi truck in front of me at a very very low speed. After impact, everything worked again and I was able to pull the car to the side of the road. Initially, I believed the truck behind me had pushed my car causing the brake pedal to lock. I contacted the police and we examined my vehicle. There was no damage from the impact on the front of my car and there was no evidence I had been rearended. Two Subaru shops have examined the vehicle. One theory from the first shop is that an object in the road lifted the car off the road and caused the pedal to fail. The other shop has no theories. Neither shop found any issue with the brakes or the pedal and could not recreate the problem. Extensive repairs have been done to correct damage from a large rock in the road. The Subaru shop doing the repairs said the rock damage would not have affected the brakes. The car can be inspected at any time. My family is wary of driving the vehicle. The brake pedal failed once and the issue has yet to be explained to our satisfaction.

The windshield spontaneously cracked. It began on the lower passenger side and ended in about the center of the windshield. The car was parked in a residential driveway at the time, and suffered no impact.

My windshield was broken one morning from edge of passenger side all the way through to the driver side deep enough to put my fingernail in when I came outside, no incidents or impact. Subaru dealership fails to replace it or acknowledge the issue.

The contact owns a 2019 Subaru Impreza equipped with Continental tire, tire line: Pro-contact TX, Tire Size: 225/55/R16, DOT number: A3T2WC393019. The contact stated that while his wife was driving 65 mph, the rear driver’s side tire experienced a blowout. The contact stated that several warning lights were illuminated. The driver exited the highway and parked at a nearby exit. The contact called the local dealer the next day to have the vehicle towed and the rear driver’s side tire replaced. The contact stated then later received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 21T001000 (TIRES) however, the dealer stated that the tire was not included in the recall. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was 17,340.

The battery dies after just sitting in my home after a day.

2019 SUBARU IMPREZA. CRACKED WINDSHIELD & DRIVE TRAIN HAD TO BE REPLACE BEFORE 30K MILES

THE CONTACT STATED THAT A MONTH LATER THE WINDSHIELD WAS CRACKED AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURE WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,000.

MY 2019 SUBARU IMPREZA HATCHBACK SPORT HAS A MAJOR PROBLEM I SAW. THE REAR LEFT DISC BRAKE ROTOR CALIPER IS NOT COMPLETELY ENGAGING. ALSO THE COLOR LOOKS LIKE RUST . ADDITIONALLY THE CAR IS VIBRATING AND MAKING WEIRD SOUNDS.

ON OR ABOUT JULY 17, 2020, I WAS TRAVELING ON AN INTERSTATE AT APPROXIMATELY 63 MPH WHEN I EXPERIENCED A SUDDEN LOSS OF AIR PRESSURE IN RIGHT FRONT TIRE. THERE WAS NO WARNING AND NOTHING ON MY DASH INDICATED THAT PRESSURE WAS LOW AT ANY TIRE PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT. I ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, BUT WAS ABLE TO REGAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND GET TO THE BREAKDOWN LANE. THE TIRE LOST ALL AIR PRESSURE AND THE RIM HIT THE PAVEMENT DESTROYING THE RIM. THE TIRE AND RIM WERE REPLACED BY THE DEALER THAT DAY. THE TIRE WAS A CONTINENTAL PROCONTACT TX 205/55R16 89V. DOT A3T2 WC39 2919.

FIRST TIME I CAME OUT AND WINDSHIELD WAS JUST CRACKED NOTHING AROUND IT ABOUT 15 IN LONG AFTER REPLACING WINDSHILD I WAS DRIVING DOWN ROAD AND THE THE WINDSHIELD THEN CRACKED OUT OF NOWHERE NOTHING HIT IT NO HARD BUMPS THIS MAKE THE 2ND WINDSHIELD IN 3 MTHS

THE WHEEL SYSTEM HAS SOME KIND OF SQUEALING IN IT

II BOUGHT THIS CAR NEW IN 2019. I HAVE HAD 8 TIMES WHICH I WOULD BE OUT SOMEWHERE AND THE CAR WOULD NOT START. I LIVED IN FORT WORTH AND AAA WOULD COME. AT NO TIME HAS SUBARU ADDRESSED THIS ISSUE OF WHY IT WILL NOT START. I HAD TO TAKE IT TO CLEO BAY IN KILLEN ON SATURDAY THE 10TH BECAUSE I WAS AT LUNCH IN BROWNWOOD AND WHEN I TRIED TO START IT IT WOULD NOT. I HAD TO GET IT JUMPED AND THEN THE SCREEN FOR THE MAPS AND RADIO ACTED LIKE IT WAS ON DRUGS. SO I DROVE AND LEFT IT WITH CLEO BAY SUBARU. THEY SAID THEY DID AN UPDATE TO MY RADIO BUT WON'T ADDRESS THE REAL ISSUE OF WHY THE CAR WOULD NOT START AND I HAD TO GET IT JUMPED.

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

AFTER A WIND STORM I CAME OUTSIDE TO A SHATTERED BACK WINDSHIELD. MY CAR WAS THE ONLY ONE DAMAGED IN A PARKING LOT FULL OF VEHICLES. IT WAS LEFT IN PARK AT AT APARTMENT COMPLEX.

MY WINDSHIELD MADE A POP SOUND AND CRACKED. THERE WAS NOW ONE ELSE ON THE ROAD AND NOTHING HIT THE WINDSHIELD.

ABOUT 5-6 TIMES MY KNEE HAS BUMPED THE KEY DURING NORMAL DRIVING, TURNING IT IN THE OFF POSITION. IT HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT AND WHILE TURNING. IT HAPPENS MORE FREQUENTLY WHILE ACCELERATING OUT OF A PARKING LOT ONTO A SURFACE STREET. IT HAS LEFT ME DEAD STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC OR HAVING TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. IT TAKES SEVERAL SECONDS TO RESTART THE CAR BECAUSE I HAVE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK TO RESTART IT.

WINDSHIELD CRACKED FOR A THIRD TIME IN 2 YEARS. WINDSHIELD IS AN OEM SUBARU CARLEX WINDSHIELD. VEHICLE WAS ON THE FREEWAY AND THE CRACK APPEARED WITH 15 INCHES IN SPAN.

DUE TO THE ECO FRIENDLY SOY BASE PARTS IN SUBARU VEHICLES, WE HAVE FALLEN VICTIM TO SQUIRRELS CHEWING ON THE WIRES UNDERNEATH THE HOOD CAUSING EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE WITHIN 6 MONTHS. SUBARU STATED THIS WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND WE HAVE BEEN LEFT WITH THE BURDEN OF THE COST. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THAT SOMEONE HAS REPORTED SUCH A PROBLEM, AS A CLASS ACTION WAS FILED 11/2017 IN HAWAII REPORTING THE SAME ISSUES WITH RODENTS AND SUBARU'S SOY BASED PARTS.

FOUND WINDSHIELD RANDOMLY CRACKING IN A SINGLE LINE FROM TOP CENTER TOWARD THE MIDDLE AND THEN TOWARD THE LEFT (VIEW FROM INSIDE). CAR HAD BEEN STATIONARY.

THE WINDSHIELD OF MY SUBARU IMPREZA 2019 GOT A CRACK AND CHIP FOR NO REASON, JUST STAYING ON PARKING. NO OBJECTS GOT ONTO THE WINDSHIELD. NO ACTIVITY COULD HAPPEN AROUND THE VEHICLE, BECAUSE PARKING IS VERY LIMITED AND IN A PRIVATE AREA, FAR FROM THE ROAD OR ANY OTHER VEHICLES. NEVER SAW ANY CHIPS BEFORE. I HAVE MORE PHOTOS OF THAT AREA (BEFORE THE VISIT TO THE DEALER). SUBARU DEALER (IN EXTON, PA) REFUSED TO REPLACE IT UNDER WARRANTY. WHEN I LEFT THE CAR AT THE DEALER TO GET OTHER FIXES - THEY MADE THE CRACK BIGGER. AND AGAIN, REFUSED EVEN TO DISCUSS THEIR FAULT.

THE WINDSHIELD CRACKED WHILE PARKED. STARTING FROM THE EDGE TO ALMOST THE CENTER OF THE WINDSHIELD, NO CHIP NO IMPACT, IT JUST CRACKED.

AFTER HAVING THE CAR 10 MONTHS BATTERY KEPT DYING. SUBARU REPLACED THE FIRST BATTERY WITH A NEW ONE EXACTLY ONE YEAR AGO. THAT BATTERY JUST DIED ON FEB 8 AFTER NOT BEING DRIVEN FOR 3 DAYS. I NEEDED TO GET IT JUMP STARTED. SUBARU WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THIS AND TOLD ME TO GET A "SECOND OPINION." THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE NOT A MEDICAL CONDITION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 SUBARU IMPREZA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, A SMALL PEBBLE HIT THE WINDSHIELD WHICH CAUSED A 16 INCH CRACK TO THE WINDSHIELD. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO DRIVE TO HIS DESTINATION. THE CONTACT CALLED THE LOCAL DEALER CASEY SUBARU (783 J CLYDE MORRIS BLVD, NEWPORT NEWS, VA 23601: (757) 522-2120) AND WAS REFERRED TO A WINDSHIELD REPAIR SHOP. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 14,000.

MY VEHICLE WAS LEFT STATIONARY, PARKED OUTSIDE MY APARTMENT OVER THE WEEKEND. AND ON MONDAY I NOTICED A 5 TO 6 INCH CRACK COMING FROM THE RIGHT EDGE OF MY WINDSHIELD. I BELIEVE THIS CRACK IS A RESULT OF THE CURRENT WINDSHIELD LAWSUIT THAT SUBARU IS DEALING WITH. THE SITE I FOUND THE INFORMATION ABOUT THE LAWSUIT TOLD ME TO FILE A COMPLAINT HERE IF MY VEHICLE WAS EFFECTED.

THE WINDSHIELD ON MY 2019 SUBARU IMPREZA KEEPS CRACKING FOR NO REASON OR LIKE THIS LAST TIME WHEN A TINY PEBBLE HIT IT. THERE ISN'T EVEN A MARK ON THE WINDSHIELD NOR CAN ANYTHING BE FELT BUT THERE IS NOW A CRACK IN THE GLASS. AS OF TOMORROW I'LL BE HAVING MY 3RD WINDSHIELD INSTALLED IN UNDER 4 MONTHS.

MY VEHICLE IS IDENTIFIED IN THE ACCIDENT REPORT AS UNIT 2. UNIT 1 ATTEMPTED TO MAKE AN IMPROPER/CARELESS LEFT TURN ONTO MAUCH CHUNK RD. UNIT 2 WAS IN MOTION TRAVELING STRAIGHT ACROSS THE INTERSECTION WHEN UNIT 1 TRIED TO MAKE AN ILLEGAL LEFT TURN AND STRUCK UNIT 2. UNIT 1 WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ACCIDENT. INITIAL IMPACT POINT WAS 10 O'CLOCK. AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY ON UNIT 2. UNIT 2 WAS DECLARED A TOTAL LOSS. WITH ALL DAMAGE ON THE FRONT END OF UNIT 2. TIME OF ACCIDENT WAS MONDAY, 7/27/2020. DRIVER OF UNIT #2 SUFFERED ANKLE, LEG, SHOULDER INJURIES ALONG WITH A CONCUSSION. ALL OF THESE SYMPTOMS APPEARED WITHIN 24 HOURS AFTER THE ACCIDENT. DRIVER OF UNIT #2 IS UNDER DOCTORS CARE AT THIS POINT. JURISTICTION IN WHICH INCIDENT OCCURRED IS ALLENTOWN, PA. OWNER OF UNIT 2 HAS RECEIVED SETTLEMENT FOR THE DESTROYED VEHICLE THAT IS NOW OWNED BY ERIE INSURANCE. WE HAVE BEEN IN COMMUNICATION WITH SUBARU TO UNDERSTAND WHY THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. TO DATE ALL WE HAVE GOTTEN IS VERBAL RESPONSES THAT THEY ARE TO INVESTIGATE. WE HAVE SUPPLIED A FULL ACCIDENT REPORT AND PICTURES.

THIS HAPPENED IN MAY 2020. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN OCTOBER 2019. CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN ON BUSY HIGHWAY AND WINDSHIELD CRACKED. NOT SURE IF IT WAS STRUCK BY OBJECT OR NOT. I COULD NOT REALLY SEE IF THE DAMAGE WAS CAUSED BY AN OBJECT. WITHIN A WEEK OF TWO, THE CRACK HAD TRAVELED ALMOST ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE ENTIRE WINDSHIELD. RECENTLY I HAVE NOTICED THAT THE CRACK IS WIDENING. I AM IN THE PROCESS OF REPLACING THE WINDSHIELD. THIS MAY BECOME A SAFETY ISSUE. I FEAR THAT THE ENTIRE WINDSHIELD MAY JUST COLLAPSE. IN MY OPINION, I THINK THESE WINDSHIELDS ARE MADE OF DEFECTIVE MATERIAL THAT IS UNSAFE. THE CRACK IS NOW AS WIDE AS THE SIZE OF A TOOTHPICK. PLEASE SEE IMAGES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 SUBARU IMPREZA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER ACCELERATING FROM A RED LIGHT AND MAKING A RIGHT TURN, THE FRONT WINDSHIELD SUDDENLY CRACKED. THE CRACK WAS LOCATED AT THE BOTTOM DRIVER'S SIDE CORNER OF THE WINDSHIELD AND EXTENDED APPROXIMATELY 2 FEET. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT NO OBJECT STRUCK THE WINDSHIELD TO CAUSE THE CRACK. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER MARK MILLER SUBARU LOCATED AT 3535 STATE ST, SOUTH SALT LAKE, UT 84115. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 22,400.

TODAY, AUGUST 7, 2020 WE NOTICED ON OUR PARKED 2019 SUBARU IMPREZA THE WINDSHIELD WAS CRACKED. THE CRACK STARTS WHERE THE REVIEW MIRROR IS ATTACHED AND RUNS VERTICALLY ALL THE WAY DOWN. THIS APPEARS TO HAVE STARTED ON THE INSIDE. THERE IS NO DAMAGE FROM A ROCK OR OTHER DEBRIS STICKING THE WINDSHIELD. A SEARCH ONLINE HAS SHOWN MULTIPLE LAWSUITS AGAINST SUBARU FOR DEFECTIVE WINDSHIELDS. WE HAVE NOT YET CONTACTED SUBARU BUT FELT A COMPLAINT WAS WARRANTED AS THIS APPEARS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH SUBARU VEHICLES.

DRIVING ALONG THE HIGHWAY WHEN I HEARD A SMALL CRACKING SOUND. NO LARGE DEBRIS OR ROCK NOTED FROM HIGHWAY. ALL OF A SUDDEN A LARGE CRACK APPEARED ON THE RIGHT-HAND PASSENGER SIDE AND EXTENDED TO THE MIDDLE OF THE WINDSHIELD. I CALLED SUBARU DEALERSHIP AND SAID THEY WOULD HAVE TO DETERMINE IF IT WAS A STRESS CRACK OR NOT FOR IT TO BE COVERED; THEY DETERMINED THAT IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED BECAUSE IT IS NOT A STRESS CRACK. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET WITH NO TRAFFIC IN FRONT OF ME WHEN MY WINDSHIELD SPONTANEOUSLY STARTED TO CRACK FROM BELOW WHERE I COULD SEE FROM INSIDE THE CAR. THE CRACK QUICKLY SPIDERED OUT. THE CRACK STARTS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE GLASS WHERE IT IS INSTALLED. THE CRACK IS LARGE, WIDE, AND DEEP. *TR

MY WINDSHIELD DEVELOPED A LONG CRACK SPONTANEOUSLY. DURING THE PANDEMIC I HAVE HARDLY DRIVEN AND I AM CERTAIN IT WAS NOT DUE TO A CHIP. *TR

MY WINDSHIELD HAS DEVELOPED A CRACK WHERE WAS NONE PREVIOUS, NOR HAS THERE BEEN ANY IMPACT. I HAVE BEEN ON FURLOUGH SINCE 24 MARCH, 2020 AND THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN DRIVEN ONCE A WEEK, AT MOST. THE MOST RECENT OUTING WAS ON SUNDAY 24 MAY, 2020 AND WAS WITHOUT IMPACT TO THE WINDSHIELD, NOR HAD ANY CRACK BEEN NOTICEABLE UNTIL TODAY, 29 MAY. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT MOVED FROM ITS' PARKING SPACE SINCE 24 MAY. I HAVE BEEN MAKING DAILY SIGHT INSPECTIONS OF THE VEHICLE SINCE I HAVE NOT BEEN DRIVING IT DAILY. *TR *BF ON 06/15/20 VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SAFELITE AND THE WINDSHIELD WAS REPLACED. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO FIND A CAUSE FOR THE CRACK. CONSUMER PAID A $200 REPAIR FOR THE REPAIR. *DL

I HAVE A 2019 IMPREZA. HAD THE CAR 6 MONTHS AND HAD TO REPLACE THE WINDSHIELD. A STRAY ROCK HIT THE CAR WHILE GOING ABOUT 35 MPH. SAW NOTHING WHEN IT HAPPENED. THE NEXT DAY A GIANT CRACK ACROSS MY WINDSHIELD. THIS IS BOGUS. *TR

AFTER MY CAR WAS SITTING OVERNIGHT, I CAME OUT IN THE MORNING AND FOUND AN 18" CRACK IN THE WINDSHIELD. THERE WAS NO INDICATION THE PREVIOUS DAY THAT THERE WAS ANY DAMAGE DONE TO THE WINDSHIELD. THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT IN THE MANUFACTURERS VEHICLES THAT THE WINDSHIELDS BREAK WITHOUT ANY REASON. CRACK HAS QUICKLY BECOME LARGER SINCE THE INITIAL CRACK, WILL SOON COMPLETELY GO ACROSS THE WINDSHIELD. *TR

WINDSHIELD SPONTANEOUSLY CRACKED WHILE PARKED IN DRIVEWAY FOR TWO DAYS.

DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH, I HEARD A VERY SMALL CRACKING SOUND AND THOUGHT NOTHING OF IT. ALMOST IMMEDIATELY, I HAD A 14 INCH CRACK PROPAGATING FROM THE BOTTOM EDGE MIDDLE OF THE WINDSHIELD. I COULD NOT FIND A CHIP LOCATION IN THE BOTTOM OF THE WINDSHIELD, NOTING IT MAY HAVE BEEN A VERY SMALL OBJECT THAT DIDN'T MAKE A CHIP. I CALLED SUBARU AND TOLD THEM THE ISSUE, BUT THEY REFUSED TO WARRANTY OR REPLACE IT, AND TOLD ME IT WAS AN ACT OF GOD. WHILE A BROKEN WINDSHIELD IS COMMON WITH LARGE ROCKS AND STONES, I BELIEVE THAT SUBARU KNOWS THAT THERE NEW ACOUSTIC WINDSHIELDS ARE INCREDIBLE WEAK. NEW WINDSHIELDS DO NOT FIX THE ISSUE AND ARE INCREDIBLE EXPENSIVE. THIS CONCERNS ME, IF A LARGER OBJECT WERE TO HIT THE WINDSHIELD, HOW WOULD IT SUSTAIN THE IMPACT FORCES AND PROTECT EVERYONE INSIDE THE VEHICLE?

8000 MILES ON THE CAR. LARGE CRACK FORMED IN WINDSHIELD ON PASSENGER SIDE AFTER GOING OVER A TYPICAL BUMP IN THE ROAD. CRACK HAS PROPAGATED ACROSS THE WINDSHIELD QUICKLY. SUBARU DECLINED A WARRANTY CLAIM. THIS IS MY 4TH SUBARU, AND NOTHING LIKE THIS HAS EVER HAPPENED BEFORE.

I WOKE UP ONE MORNING AND WENT OUT TO GO TO WORK TO DISCOVER THAT A CRACK HAD FORMED IN THE WINDSHIELD. IT STARTED FROM THE LOWER FRIT. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME A WINDSHIELD ON THIS CAR HAS CRACKED AND BOTH WERE SUBARU BRANDED CARLEX WINDSHIELDS. THE FIRST WINDSHIELD WAS FROM THE FACTORY, OBVIOUSLY, AND THE SECOND ONE WAS INSTALLED AT A SUBARU DEALERSHIP. REALLY ANNOYING SINCE I'VE ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR 14 MONTHS.

MY CAR IS ONLY THREE MONTHS OLD WITH VIRTUALLY NO HIGH SPEED HIGHWAY DRIVING. I CAME OUT TO MY CAR ONE MORNING TO SEE A FOOT LONG CRACK ON MY WINDSHIELD, COMING FROM THE BOTTOM CORNER NEAR WHERE THE WIPERS REST. BEING THAT I DELIBERATELY DRIVE REALLY FAR FROM THE CARS IN FRONT OF ME, I HAVE A HARD TIME BELIEVING THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED FROM A ROCK. I FEEL THIS TIES IN WITH THE ONGOING CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT CONCERNING DEFECTIVE WINDSHIELD.

WINDSHIELD CRACKED FROM THE LOWER LEFT SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD AND IS MOVING UPWARD AND ACROSS THE WINDSHIELD. THERE IS NO REASON FOR THE CRACK IT JUST HAPPENED ON ITS OWN. IT HAPPENED WHILE PARKED OVER NIGHT.

THE CAR SENSOR DOES NOT EFFECTIVELY RECOGNIZE CARS IN FRONT OF ME NOW THAT I HAVE NEW WINDSHIELD

A CRACK, LONGER THAN A DOLLAR BILL, RANDOMLY APPEARED ON MY WINDSHIELD ONE DAY WHEN THERE WAS NONE THE PREVIOUS DAY. MY CAR WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY DURING THIS TIME. THE CRACK WAS VERY CLEAN AND VERY SUDDEN. NO ROCKS OR DEBRIS HIT MY WINDSHIELD. I JUST WOKE UP ONE DAY TO FIND THIS VERY LARGE CRACK. I WENT THROUGH MY GEICO INSURANCE TO FIX MY GLASS THINKING IT WAS A CRACK THAT WAS CAUSED BY COLD TEMPERATURES. THE MONTH OF JANUARY IS THE MIDDLE OF WINTER. BUT A CRACK THAT LARGE WAS VERY SUSPICIOUS REGARDLESS AND FOUND OUT TWO MONTHS LATER THAT IT IS HIGHLY POSSIBLE THAT MY WINDSHIELD WAS DEFECTIVE. I BOUGHT MY CAR NOT TOO LONG AGO IN JUNE OF 2019 AND THE CRACK APPEARED JUST ABOUT 6 MONTHS LATER.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN WHITE ROCK RD, EL DORADO HILLS, CA. A TINY PIECE OF METAL MUST HAVE FELL BUT IT HIT THE BOTTOM MIDDLE OF THE WINDSHIELD. IT BARELY EVEN LEFT A MARK, I CONTINUED TO DRIVE TO MAKE IT TO WORK. BY THE TIME I HAD MADE IT HOME IT HAD TURNED INTO A FULL BLOWN VISION PROBLEM. AS I WAS DRIVING IT WOULD MAKE AUDIBLE CRACKING NOISES AND I FIXED IT IMMEDIATELY. NEVER HAVE I SEEN A CARS WINDSHIELD SO VULNERABLE BEFORE. WHITE ROCK RD IS A BACK ROAD AND I WAS IN MOTION.

WINDSHIELD CRACKED TWICE IN A MONTH PERIOD SMALL PEBBLES THAT I'VE HIT BEFORE HAVE NEVER DONE THIS MUCH DAMAGE IT CAUSED THREE UN REPAIRABLE CRACKS

ON 2/16/2020, WHILE DRIVING AT A NORMAL SPEED (~20MPH) IN CLEAR CONDITIONS IN DOWNTOWN PHILADELPHIA, PA, A SMALL OBJECT (POTENTIALLY A ROCK) FELL OFF AN OVERPASS I WAS DRIVING UNDER, HIT THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD OF MY CAR, AND CAUSED AN APPROXIMATELY 10-INCH CRACK. THE OBJECT THAT CAUSED THE CRACK WAS NOT LARGE ENOUGH FOR MY PASSENGER TO EVEN NOTICE WHEN IT HIT. THE CRACK IT CAUSED IN THE WINDSHIELD WAS UNREASONABLY LARGE, WHEN OTHER, LARGER OBJECTS (LIKE ROCKS) HAVE HIT THE WINDSHIELD IN THE COURSE OF NORMAL HIGHWAY DRIVING WITHOUT CAUSING DAMAGE. THE REPAIR COST A TOTAL OF ~$1,000, OF WHICH I WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR $500. I HAVE ATTACHED AN IMAGE OF THE CRACK AND A COPY OF THE INVOICE FROM THE WINDSHIELD REPLACEMENT.

ONLY A FEW MONTHS AFTER LEASING A BRAND NEW 2019 SUBARU IMPREZA SPORT, I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY I HAVE TAKEN 100'S OF TIMES AND A SMALL ROCK HIT MY WINDSHIELD. THIS CAUSED MY WINDSHIELD TO CRACK AND KEEP SPLITTING UNTIL IT COVERED A GOOD 2 FEET OF THE GLASS. THIS CONTINUED AFTER THE CAR WAS PARKED. I HAD TO PAY MY DEDUCTIBLE TO HAVE THE WINDSHIELD REPLACED. I THOUGHT THIS WAS ODD BECAUSE I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS HAPPEN TO ANY OTHER VEHICLE, ESPECIALLY SO EASILY.

MY FIRAT EXPERIENCE WAS, I PARKED MY CAR AND BEEN TO GROCERY STORE WHEN I CAME BACK AND DRIVING THEN I FOUND A CRACK WITH OUT A CHIP CRACK SOUND AND THE SECOND EXPERIENCE ALMOST SIMILAR BEFORE PARKING I FOUND NO CRACK AND WHEN MY CAR WAS STATIONARY WHICH THERE WAS NO MOTION SURPRISINGLY I FOUND ANOTHER CRACK WHICH IS ABOVE 10 INCHES. AND AFTER MY 1ST WINDSHIELD REPLACEMENT I FOUND EYE SIGHT IS NOT WORKING AS WELL AS BEFORE. THERE IS NO PROPER RESPONSE AFTER MY SECOND WINDSHIELD COMPLAINT AND STILL WAITING FOR REPLACEMENT AND I AM DRIVING WITH CRACK WINDSHIELD WHICH I HAVE NO OTHER CHOICE.

MY CAR'S WINDSHIELD CRACKED OVERNIGHT WHILE SITTING IN A GARAGE, WITH NO IMPACT TO IT. IT IS 2 MONTHS OLD.

CAR CAUGHT FIRE ON THE MORNING OF SUNDAY, JANUARY 5, 2020 WHILE STATIONARY IN A PARKING LOT. THE CAR HAD BEEN STATIONARY FOR APPROXIMATELY 12 HOURS. THE ATTENDING FIRE DEPARTMENT FELT THE FIRE STARTED IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT, AND CONSUMED THE ENTIRE CAR BY THE TIME IT WAS EXTINQUISHED. THE CAR WAS A TOTAL LOSS. THE CAR RAN PERFECTLY UNTIL THEN, AND HAD IT'S ROUTINE 1ST SERVICE BY A SUBARU DEALER AROUND 5,000 MILES. MORE PHOTOS ARE AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 SUBARU IMPREZA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE HEADLIGHTS DIMMED AS THE VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN. WHEN THE VEHICLE CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP, THE HEADLIGHTS BRIGHTENED AND OPERATED NORMALLY. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO STUCKEY SUBARU (500 BROAD ST, HOLLIDAYSBURG, PA 16648, (814) 695-9862), BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE AND DEEMED THE MATTER TO BE A NORMAL FUNCTION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND STATED THAT THEY WERE AWARE OF THE MATTER; HOWEVER, THEY DID NOT HAVE A RESOLUTION AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE CONTACT WAS PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 1-50768087045. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 1,600.

WHEN SHIFTING QUICKLY INTO 4TH GEAR ON THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION AT HIGHER RPM'S (ABOVE 3000), THE GEAR GRINDS. IF YOU SHIFT SLOWLY, IT DOESN'T. IT SEEMS TO BE ONLY THE 4TH GEAR DOING THIS. MY CAR HAS 1300 MILES ON IT. I AM WONDERING IF IT BECAUSE THE RPM'S HANG WAY TOO LONG. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING A MANUAL DAILY FOR 28 YEARS. I AM ALSO A PROFESSIONAL TRUCK DRIVER, SO I KNOW HOW TO PROPERLY DRIVE A STICK SHIFT. THE RPM HANG IS VERY ANNOYING AND COULD POTENTIALLY BE THE PROBLEM OF THE 5SPEED TRANSMISSION.

CAR STOPPED RUNNING WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE STREET. AUTOMOBILE WAS TOWED TO DEALER YESTERDAY (9-11-19). DEALER, CALLED TODAY (9-12-19) SAID PROBLEM IS A BAD FUEL PUMP AND MAY TAKE UP TO A MONTH TO GET THE ORDERED PART DELIVERED AND INSTALLED. NEW VEHICLE PURCHASED APRIL, 2019 A LITTLE LESS THAN 2800 MILES ON ODOMETER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 SUBARU IMPREZA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS OVER BUMPS IN THE ROAD, THE CONTACT HEARD AN ABNORMAL DRAGGING, SCRAPING NOISE EMERGING FROM THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BUSAM SUBARU (6195 DIXIE HWY, FAIRFIELD, OH 45014) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SHOCKS AND STEERING RACK ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 1-45992198970. THE CONTACT WAS PROVIDED A LOANER VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 600. *BF*JB

WINDSHIELD CRACKED SPONTANEOUSLY. WAS DRIVING DOWN A SMOOTH OPEN ROAD AT 40MPH AND HEARD THE SOUND OF A CRACK. I LOOK TO MY PASSENGER SIDE AND A LONG CRACK WAS THERE. THE CRACK ITSELF STARTS FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE GLASS AND MAKES ITS WAY UP AND ACROSS. AGAIN, DRIVING DOWN AN OPEN ROAD SO THERE WAS NO OTHER VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME TO KICK UP DEBRIS.

AFTER OWNING THE CAR FOR A MONTH, I NOTICED THE HOOD HAD BECOME UNEVEN WHERE IT MEETS THE FRONT END. I ALSO BEGAN TO NOTICE A WIDER GAP BETWEEN THE HOOD AND THE RIGHT FENDER THAN ON THE LEFT SIDE. THIS GAP HAS WIDENED. WHEN I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO ALBANY SUBARU, THE SERVICE MANAGER MADE SOME ADJUSTMENTS THAT MADE MINIMAL IMPROVEMENTS TO THE HOOD WHERE IT MEETS THE FRONT END, THOUGH IT IS STILL UNEVEN. THE RUBBER GASKET STILL DOESN'T FILL THE GAP. THIS MADE THE GAP BETWEEN THE RIGHT FENDER AND HOOD EVEN WIDER. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO ALBANY SUBARU. THE SERVICE MANAGER RAISED THE HOOD PAD ON ONE SIDE AND LOWERED IT ALL THE WAY ON THE OTHER SIDE AND DOCUMENTED THE CAR IS WITHIN SUBARU SPECS. I CONTACTED SUBARU. THEY WANT ME TO TAKE THE CAR TO ANOTHER DEALER FOR A SECOND OPINION. I AM WAITING FOR THE SECOND DEALER TO CALL ME BACK TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT. I HAVE ALREADY SENT SUBARU PHOTOS OF THE PROBLEMS AND MY CONCERN THAT THE GAP IS CONTINUING TO GET WIDER AS I DRIVE. THE OTHER ISSUE IS THE STEERING. THERE HAVE BEEN FOUR TIMES WHERE THE STEERING SEEMS TO MOMENTARILY DISAPPEAR. BY THIS I MEAN I GET THE FEELING THE STEERING WHEEL IS COMPLETELY LOOSE, NO NORMAL TENSION WHILE HOLDING THE STEERING WHEEL STRAIGHT. BY THE TIME I CAN REACT, THE NORMAL TENSION RETURNS TO THE STEERING WHEEL. THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME THIS IS THE LANE DRIFT MONITORING OF THE CAR. I TOLD HIM I EXPERIENCE A QUICK VIBRATION OF THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN DRIFTING LANES, NOT A COMPLETE LOSS OF STEERING. HE IGNORED ME AND SAID THE STEERING IS FINE. NHTSA WEB SITE ONLY LET ME UPLOAD ONE PHOTO. I HAVE FIVE PHOTOS TO SHOW MEASUREMENTS ON ALL SIDES OF THE HOOD GAPS

IN LESS THAN 3,000 MILES OF OWNERSHIP THE WINDSHIELD STARTED MAKING CREAKING NOISES AND WITHIN TWO WEEKS IT SUDDENLY GAVE WAY TO A STRESS CRACK ABOUT 14 INCHES LONG ABOUT TWO-THIRDS OF THE WAY UP THE WINDSHIELD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE STARTING AT THE EDGE OF THE WINDSHIELD.

THE WINDSHIELD SPONTANEOUSLY CRACKED WHILE THE CAR WAS SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY. THE CAR HAS 3,000 MILES AND THE WAS NO PREVIOUS ROCK OR STONE IMPACT OR CHIP.

WINDSHIELD SPONTANEOUSLY CRACKED. I WAS PULLING OUT OF DRIVEWAY AND STOPPED TO PLUG IN MY PHONE WHEN THE WINDSHIELD POPPED AND CRACKED. THERE WAS NO FLYING DEBRIS THAT HIT THE WINDSHIELD THEN OR PREVIOUSLY. WE TOOK TO DEALERSHIP FOR ASSESSMENT BECAUSE WE FELT IT WAS A STRESS CRACK, BUT THEY SAID IT WASN'T AND THEY WOULDN'T REPLACE IT.

CAR WILL NOT TRACK STRAIGHT. AT 60 MPH+ YOU MUST MAKE CONSTANT SMALL STEERING CORRECTIONS TO KEEP THE CAR IN YOUR LANE. IT CONSTANTLY DARTS SIDE TO SIDE. THE STEERING WHEEL ALSO WILL NOT SELF CENTER AFTER A TURN. YOU HAVE TO PHYSICALLY PULL THE WHEEL BACK TO CENTER THE LAST 5 DEGREES TO GET THE CAR TO GO STRAIGHT. THERE IS NO ONCENTER FEEL IN THE STEERING. THE DEALER TRIED ALIGNMENT TO NO AVAIL. DEALER DROVE 2 OTHER NEW CARS OFF HIS LOT AND NOTICED THE SAME CONDITION SO HE CONTACTED SUBARU

AFTER OWNING MY CAR FOR FIVE MONTHS THE WINDSHIELD IS CRACKED AGAIN I HAVE HAD IT REPLACED TWICE ALREADY. THERE IS A SERIOUS DEFECT IN THE WINDSHIELD THAT SUBARU IS USING ON THE IMPREZA VEHICLE

SRS AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON. CAR ONLY GAS 150 MILES.
