2015 SUBARU LEGACY Complaints

YESTERDAY IN THE EVENING I STARTED THE CAR AND HAD HALF TANK OF GAS IN THE CAR. BUT THE GAS GAGE WAS ON EMPTY. LIKE IT GOT STUCK THERE AND DROVE HOME IT STILL REMAINED THERE. TODAY IT WAS NORMAL. IT WAS 40 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT OUTSIDE.

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

WINDSHIELD SUDDENLY DEVELOPED A CRACK A FEW INCHES FROM THE BOTTOM TOWARD THE CENTER CLOSER TO THE PASSENGER SIDE. VEHICLE WAS 3 MONTHS OLD AT THE TIME. THERE WAS NO KNOWN STONE HIT AND NO OBVIOUS STARTING POINT FOR THE CRACK. CRACK SPREAD OVER THE NEXT DAY ACROSS THE ENTIRE WINDSHIELD. WINDSHIELD HAD TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $500.

CAR ENGINE STALLED WHILE IN MOTION ON A CITY STEET. CAR WAS RESTARTED BUT ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. TOOK CAR TO DEALER WHO REPLACED O2 SENSOR. CONCERN IS WHY CAR STALLED WHEN A SENSOR FAILED . ON A FREEWAY THIS COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS.

I WAS DRIVING IN THE HIGHWAY WHEN MY CAR HAS AND ISSUE WITH THE BRAKES, I SAW THE BRAKE BUTTON WAS (THAT'S NOT NORMAL) ON AND MY CAR WAS STARTING TO SLOW DOWN QUICKLY BY THAT TIME I HAD A TRUCK BEHIND ME THAT ALMOST HIT ME FROM THE BACK DO TO THE BRAKE PROBLEM WITH MY CAR. I LEAVE MY CAR AT THE DEALER (BETERA SUBARU HARTFORD CT) SINCE SEPTEMBER 3, 2015 THEY JUST CALLED ME ONCE SAYING THAT THEY KNOW WHAT IS THE PROBLEM AND THEY ARE GOING TO FIX IT, BUT AT THIS TIME I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ELSE ABOUT IT. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR WITH THE BRAKES.

WINDSHIELD DEVELOPED SMALL CRACK. GREW OVER TIME. SUBARU HAD NEW PARTS UNDER NATIONAL BACKORDER. NUMEROUS REPORTS OF CRACKS DEVELOPING FOR NO APPARENT REASONS. SEE:HTTP://LEGACYGT.COM/FORUMS/

ON JULY 13, 2015, IN THE MORNING I SAW A CRACK THAT HADN'T BEEN ON MY WINDSHIELD THERE THE DAY BEFORE HAD STARTED LOW IN THE PASSENGER SIDE, NEAR THE CORNER OF MY 9- MONTH OLD 2015 LEGACY. OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS IT GREW INCHES A DAY, STRAIGHT UP AND ANOTHER CRACK TOWARDS THE DRIVING SIDE. NO OBVIOUS CAUSE - NO ROCK HIT NOR "STAR" TO START IT. THE DEALER IN SAID WINDSHIELDS ARE ON BACK ORDER, AND WANT $839 FOR THE REPLACEMENT AND INSTALLATION. I STILL HAVEN'T HAD IT REPLACED, WAITING TO SEE IF SUBARU IS GOING TO TAKE SOME RESPONSIBILITY, SINCE THE INTERNET IS FILLING UP WITH SIMILAR ACCOUNTS.

ELECTRONIC PARKING BRAKES WILL NOT RELEASE. EYE SIGHT SYSTEM ERROR LIGHT ON -- SAYS TO SEE DEALER. VEHICLE IS IN LOW CLEARANCE PARKING GARAGE - FLATBED TOW TRUCK CANNOT ENTER. BRAKES ARE STUCK ON. FRONT OF VEHICLE FACING GARAGE WALL, WHICH IS PARTIALLY OPEN (LOOKING THROUGH TO ANOTHER LEVEL). VEHICLE IS ON A SLIGHT DOWNWARD INCLINE FACING WALL. SEEMS LIKE ALL 4 BRAKES ARE LOCKED EVEN IN NEUTRAL. CAR STARTS FINE AND RUNS, CAN ENTER R N & D, BUT WILL NOT MOVE. NEW VEHICLE -- TOW TRUCK OPERATOR DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO RELEASE BRAKES FOR THIS MODEL YEAR, SINCE IT IS DIFFERENT FROM PREVIOUS YEAR. VEHICLE RECEIVED EYE SIGHT RECALL NOTIFICATION RECENTLY, BUT VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN SERVICED YET. SUSPECT EYE SIGHT IS TO BLAME, AS IT HAS BEEN BEHAVING IN ERRATIC FASHION OVER THE LAST FEW MONTHS. (TURNS OFF IN EXTREMELY LIGHT RAIN, WHEN IT SHOULD NOT, STAYS OFF FOR A WHILE, THEN TURNS ON IN HEAVY RAIN)

IN THE COURSE OF DRIVING AROUND OUR AREA, MY WIFE & I PARKED OUR NEW 2015 SUBARU LEGACY FOR AN HOUR TO DO SOME SHOPPING. WHEN WE GOT BACK TO THE CAR, WE COULDN'T HELP BUT NOTICE A CRACK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT WINDSHIELD, WHERE THERE HADN'T BEEN ONE BEFORE. WE DROVE IMMEDIATELY TO OUR LOCAL SUBARU DEALER, WHERE THEY NOTICED A VERY SMALL DING JUST BELOW THE RIGHT WINDSHIELD WIPER, WITH THE AFOREMENTIONED CRACK COMING FROM THE DING. FROM MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE OF CLOSE TO 50 YEARS OF DRIVING, THIS IS THE FIRST EVER NON-CRASH WINDSHIELD PROBLEM I'VE HAD THAT'S HAD A PROGRESSIVE CRACK, AND THIS IS A BRAND NEW CAR! I'M READING THAT I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM!

THE ENTIRE RADIO DISPLAY WOULD FREEZE AND BECOME TOTALLY UNRESPONSIVE TO ALL CONTROLS INCLUDING TRYING TO TURN THE RADIO OFF WITH THE POWER BUTTON. THE ONLY WAY TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE IS BY TURNING OFF THE CAR AND RESTARTING. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 2 TIMES IN THE PAST FEW MONTHS
