FABRIC JOINT ON LAP BELT WAS PRINTED WITH A WARNING THAT THE BELT MUST BE REPLACED IF THE FABRIC IS BROKEN, PRESUMABLY IN A COLLISION. IT HAS WORN OUT THROUGH ABRASION FROM NORMAL USE, NO COLLISION IS INVOLVED. HOWEVER, IT NEEDS TO BE FIXED OTHERWISE A BASIC SAFETY COMPONENT REQUIRED BY LAW IS SIMPLY NOT THERE. WE FEEL STRONGLY THAT SUCH A PART SHOULD NOT BE DESIGNED TO FAIL. HOWEVER, WE HAVE BEEN TOLD BY ONE LOCAL DEALER THAT EVEN IF WE WANTED TO PAY TO HAVE IT FIXED, THAT THE PART FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE. THIS DOES NOT SEEM TO BE A REASONABLE SITUATION.*AK

A REPLACEMENT WINDSHIELD IS LEAKING. CONSUMER HAS TAKEN VEHICLE TO BLOOMFIELD GLASS COMPANY TO HAVE IT REPLACED. *AK CONSUMER RETURNED TO SHOP AFTER WINDOW WAS REPLACED DUE TO A LEAK, DEALER STATED LEAK WAS DUE TO TAPE, SO THE TAPE WAS REMOVED, HOWEVER THERE WAS STILL AN AIR LEAK, NEW TAPE WAS PUT ON AND THIS DID NOT REMEDY PROBLEM EITHER, CONSUMER WAS TOLD THIS IS HIS PROBLEM. *SLC

PASSENGER'S SIDE DOOR CANNOT BE OPENED FROM THE INSIDE WITHOUT TWO HANDS, ONE TO HOLD THE LOCKING MECHANISM , AND THE OTHER TO PULL THE LATCH. ALSO, DOOR CANNOT BE ENTERD FROM THE OUTSIDE IF IT'S LOCKED OR UNLOCKED WITHOUT THE KEY. THERE IS A RECALL 90V184 FOR THIS PROBLEM THIS VEHICLE DOES NOT FALL UNDER THAT RECALL. THIS PROBLEM WOULD PREVENT RAPID EXIT FROM THE VEHICLE IN THE CASE OF AN ACCIDENT, FIRE, OR OTHER EMERGENCY. *AK *ML

RIGHT FRONT WHEEL WOULD DROP DOWN LOWER THAT THE OTHER 3 WHEELS. DEALER SAID VEHICLE NEEDED AIR COMPRESSOR AND EVAPORATER. THAT DIDNOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. TOOK CAR BACK TO MECHANIC, AND HE INDICATED ALL 4 AIRBAGS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *AK

AUTOMATIC SHOULDER BELT HAS FAILED - COST TO REPAIR: $500-700, I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS HAPPENING IN MOST SUBARUS. IS THERE SOMETHING BEING DONE? I AM AFRAID THAT I WILL BE SERIOUSLY INJURED IF I WERE TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THERE IS ANYTHING YOU ARE DOING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. THANKS.
