2016 SUBARU LEGACY Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 SUBARU LEGACY. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE MIRRORS REFLECTED THE SILVER CHROME FROM AROUND THE AIR CONDITIONING VENTS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THIS OBSTRUCTED THE VIEW OF THE ROAD ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE DEALER TINTED THE WINDOWS, BUT THE ISSUE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 33,200.

WHEN RESUMED CRUISE CONTROL, IT DID NOT. INSTEAD THE STEERING WHEEL WAS UNCONTROLLABLE AND HAD NO DIRECTION. WAS ON INTERSTATE 84WEST IN CT. PUT ON BREAK AND THEN WAS ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE ON SIDE OF ROAD. WENT TO THE DEALER AND TOLD NO ISSUE. ALSO HAVE HAD GEAR SHIFTING PROBLEMS. WAS IN TOUCH LESS CAR WASH WHERE THE CAR IS IN PARK AND WHEN TOLD (FLASHING SIGN) TO MOVE FORWARD THE CAR WOULD NOT GO INTO DRIVE. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS, SHUT CAR OFF AND THEN WAS ABLE TO PUT IN DRIVE. ON OCCASIONS THE SHIFTING GEAR HAS NOT REMAINED IN PARK AND VEHICLE HAS MOVED FORWARD.

AFTER STARTING THE ENGINE, WHEN PULLING OUT FROM MY DRIVEWAY AND PUT THE GEAR IN REVERSE TO PULL OUT, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATES ON ITS OWN WITHOUT MY FOOT PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR. SO BRAKE HAS TO BE APPLIED IMMEDIATELY TO SLOW DOWN THE VEHICLE. IT SHOOTS FORWARD WITH OUT ME ACCELERATING.. IT ACCELERATES AT ABOUT 25-30 MILES PER HOUR WITHOUT ME ONCE AGAIN ACCELERATING IT SO WE HAD TO BRAKE ALL THE WAY FROM THE HOUSE TO THE PLACE OF WORK. WE HAVE HAD SEVERAL NEW CARS INCLUDING MERCEDES BENZ AND NEVER HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM. AS I GO ON THE STREET THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO ACCELERATE WITHOUT ME ACCELERATING IT. THERE IS ALSO A BURNING SMELL WHEN THE CAR IS STARTED. . WE TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALER AND THEY WERE NO HELP AT ALL..

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 SUBARU LEGACY. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WHETHER THE VEHICLE WAS PLACED IN REVERSE OR DRIVE, IT ACCELERATED INDEPENDENTLY. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE VEHICLE OPERATED AS INTENDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,042.

FRONT WINDSHIELD GOT CRACK UPON BEING HITTING BY A FOREIGN OBSTACLE, MAYBE A PEBBLE. WITHIN A DAY, THE CRACK LINE EXTENDED TO MORE THAN 1 FOOT, WHICH AFFECTED FRONT VISIBILITY. WITHIN A FEW WEEKS, THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPENED TO MY 2017 SUBARU OUTBACK THAT SHARES THE SAME WINDSHIELD COMPONENT WITH LEGACY. IN THE PAST, I HAD WINDSHIELD CRACKS WITH OTHER CARS I OWNED BUT THE CRACKS DID NOT GROW AS FAST AS SUBARU'S. I AM WONDERING IF THE SUBARU'S WINDSHIELD USED IN LEGACY AND OUTBACK MAY HAVE A MATERIAL PROBLEM OR A MANUFACTURING ISSUE.

MY VEHICAL HAD THE WRONG BRAKES ON IT COULD NOT GET INSPECTED TECH NOTICED PAD WERE TOO BIG FOR ROTOR. 8 DAYS LATER CAR STILL NOT RETURNED TO ME IF HE HADDENED NOTICE BRAKE FAILURE WOULD OCCUR

WHEN SHIFTING FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE THERE IS AN EXTENDED DELAY AND APPLICATION OF THROTTLE CAUSES A SEVERE LURCHING OF THE CAR WHICH CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.

FOLLOWING ARE TWO MAIN ISSUES, CAUSALITY/CORRELATION UNCERTAIN. AFTER THE "SUBARU EYESIGHT" FAILED FOR ABOUT TWO MINUTES WHILE UNDERWAY (DASHBOARD CLUSTER LIT UP IN NUMEROUS PLACES, TOO), THE EYESIGHT SYSTEM RESET WHILE DRIVING. THEREAFTER, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO "BUCK (E.G. LURCH FORWARD SEVERAL INCHES WITH A LOT OF FORCE)" WHEN THE VEHICLE'S CVT WAS IN "DRIVE" AND I WAS STOPPED WITH THE BRAKE DEPRESSED AT NORMAL PRESSURE. THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT SIX TIMES IN THE LAST FOUR DAYS, AND I AM EXTREMELY CONCERNED. THE "BUCK" IS SO SEVERE THAT THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED, I FELT LIKE I WAS REAR-ENDED. THE MOST RECENT TIME THAT IT OCCURRED, MY BEST FRIEND COULD HAVE BEEN SEVERELY INJURED WHEN THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD AS HE WAS STANDING OUTSIDE OF THE RUNNING VEHICLE, GATHERING THINGS FROM THE FRONT SEAT (E.G. FOOT OR LEG RUN OVER HAD HE BEEN TAKING GROCERIES OUT OF THE BACK SEAT). AT THIS POINT, THE SUBARU DEALERSHIP IS BEING COY ABOUT SITUATION RESOLUTION. WHAT IS ESPECIALLY CONCERNING IS THAT THE EYESIGHT SYSTEM IS SUPPOSED TO "KILL" ACCELERATION WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED, AND AN OBJECT FORWARD OF THE CAR IS DETECTED. YET, THE VEHICLE TRIED TO PROCEED FORWARD WHEN STOPPED IN TRAFFIC?
