    The brakes on the car rusted out and were making noise. I took it to multiple Subaru dealerships and all of them told me nothing was wrong with my car. After dealing with this issue for 2 years, I finally took it to an independent mechanic who found the rust along with an absurd amount of lubricant on my rotors. He was the first person to listen to me and he didn't make me feel crazy. He completely replaced my calipers, rotors, and brakes.

    I bought a "Subaru Impreza" 2017, and in the span of 4 years, had numerous issues, including: -dead battery -car suddenly stopping on highway: no electroninc warning whatsoever -over 6 possibly lethal recalls (mainly pertaining to car electronics andbrakes), which might cause car to stop moving/responsing to steering/braking at any moment, which I send in for repair ASAP. Afterwards, I was assured all the electronics and brake components had been checked, and I would be safe to drive everyday for work. -This week, after all these "repaired" recalls, my car suddenly while I was driving on one of the busiest/most dangerous highways in our area: it took me several minutes to even manage to pull onto the shoulder. During that time, I was almost hit 5 times, and had to call CHP to come take me. I could have easily been killed. and the CHP operator clearly told me not to drive this car again. -The next day, I got to Subaru dealership which sold me this car, asking for a loaner, and free repair. Although Subaru provided the loaner, they also gave me a 1133.98$ to fix the electronic issue, which they assured me "is not my fault, but not on the recall list, so even though it malfunctioned, I have to pay, even though their negligence almost cost me my life. I'm curious to know how many other Subaru 2017 drivers had similar experience.

    I purchased this car in January 2021 from the Mechanicsburg Faulkner dealership in PA. It was previously owned by one person. I am the second owner. On May 5, 2021, as I was getting into my car to drive to work, I noticed a crack on the right side of my windshield. Upon closer inspection, the crack appeared to have started from the very edge of the lower part of the windshield. Nothing fell on my car as it is kept secured in our garage.

    THIS IS IN REGARDS TO THE SUBARU WINDSHIELD LAWSUIT. SOMETIME IN LATE MAY OF 2020, I FOUND MY PARKED CAR ON THE STREET OUTSIDE MY APARTMENT WITH A CRACK THAT SPANNED OVER 12"ON THE FRONT WINDSHIELD. THERE WAS NO SIGN OF WHAT CAUSED THE CRACK. OVER THE NEXT FEW WEEKS THE CRACK CONTINUED TO GROW ACROSS THE WINDSHIELD. I HAD IT REPLACED JULY 7, 2020, AT THAT TIME OF IT WAS OVER 24" LONG. I WAS TOLD BY MY LOCAL WINDOW REPAIR SHOP THAT SUBARU HAD TO BE THE ONES TO REPLACE THE WINDSHIELD BECAUSE THEY WOULD BE THE ONES THAT NEEDED TO RECALIBRATE THE COMPUTER SYSTEM THAT CONNECTED TO THE WINDSHIELD.
