2015 SUBARU LEGACY Complaints

WHILE TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE GLASS IN THE MOONROOF SPONTANEOUSLY SHATTERED. THERE WAS NOT ANOTHER VEHICLE NEAR ENOUGH TO CAUSE THE DAMAGE AND NEITHER MY WIFE OR I SAW ANYTHING COME FROM THE FRONT & STRIKE THE VEHICLE. AFTER WE STOPPED TO CHECK THE DAMAGE, THE MOON ROOF APPEARED THAT IT HAD BEEN PUSHED UPWARD FROM INSIDE THE VEHICLE CAUSING IT TO SHATTER. THE MOON ROOF COVER INSIDE THE VEHICLE WAS ALSO CLOSED WHEN THIS OCCURRED. *TR

ALMOST EVERY TIME I FILL UP WITH GAS, WHEN THE GAS PUMP SHUTS OFF THERE IS A BACK SPLASH OF GAS OUT OF THE TANK. I WOULD SAY ANYWHERE FROM 1 TO 3 OUNCES OF GAS SPLASHES OUT. DEPENDS ON THE PRESSURE IT'S BEING FILLED AT. I TALKED TO MY DEALER ABOUT IT AND WAS TOLD THAT IS COMMON FOR SUBARU LEGACY'S. *TR

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK WHEN THE ENGINE LOW OIL LIGHT CAME ON. I CHECKED THE OIL IMMEDIATELY AND IT APPEARED TO BE DOWN ABOUT A QUART. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND TOOK IT IN THE NEXT DAY. THEY CONFIRMED THE OIL WAS DOWN ABOUT A QUART AND STARTED AN ENGINE OIL STUDY. I AM TO TAKE THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP IN 1200 TO HAVE THE OIL LEVEL CHECKED. THIS APPEARS TO BE A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE 2011 AND ABOVE SUBARUS. THIS ALL HAPPENED A MONTH OR SO AFTER I HAD ALREADY TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AFTER HAVING A BURNT OIL SMELL FROM OUTSIDE OF THE CAR. NOTHING WAS FOUND. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 SUBARU LEGACY. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO CROSS TWO LANES OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE VEHICLE HESITATED TO ACCELERATE AND THEN ACCELERATED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 900.

UPON LOW SPEEDS TRANSMISSION HOWLS, HESITATION FOLLOWED BY FAST ACCELERATION. KEY INSERTION INTO IGNITION IS DIFFICULT AND ROUGH. *TR

I HAVE A 2015 SUBARU LEGACY AND THE SRVD (BLIND SPOT & REAR BACKUP DETECTION) SYSTEM KEEPS MALFUNCTIONING. HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STARTED AND DOES NOT GO AWAY WHEN DRIVING. TOOK THE CAR TO THE SUBARU DEALER AND THEY COULD NOT SOLVE THE ISSUE. THIS IS A DESIGNED SAFETY SYSTEM AND NOT WORKING IT BECOMES AS SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

DRIVING ON FREEWAY WITH CRUISE SET AT 72MPH, REACHED DOWN TO THE CENTER COUNCIL TO GRAB AN ITEM, AND PULLED UP ON THE ELECTRONIC PARKING BRAKE BUTTON. THE BUTTON IS LOCATED TOO CLOSE TO REACHABLE PLACES. THE CAR CAME TO A SCRATCHING HALT, LUCKY THE VEHICLES BEHIND ME WERE ABLE TO SWERVE OUT OF THE WAY IN TIME. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 SUBARU LEGACY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HER VISIBILITY WAS OBSTRUCTED WHEN THE SUN REFLECTED OFF THE FACTORY INSTALLED NAVIGATIONAL SYSTEM. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 600.
