2010 SUBARU LEGACY Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 SUBARU LEGACY. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, THE SUN ROOF LEAKED WATER INTO THE VEHICLE. WATER ALSO LEAKED THROUGH THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR. IN NOVEMBER OF 2012, THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BY COLONIAL SUBARU (200 W STREET RD, FEASTERVILLE-TREVOSE, PENNSYLVANIA 19053), BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES AFTER THE REPAIR. GLANZMANN SUBARU (95 OLD YORK RD, JENKINTOWN, PENNSYLVANIA 19046, (215) 249-6326) ADVISED THE CONTACT TO FLUSH THE SUN ROOF TO REMOVE DEBRIS, SUCH AS POLLEN.

THE BRAKE PIPES HAVE BEEN RUSTED THROUGH ON MY CAR. THE LOCATIONS IS JUST FORWARD OF OF THE PASSENGER REAR TIRE. SUBARU HAD PLACED A PLASTIC COVER THERE, BUT I BELIEVE IS FAILED TO STOP THE PROBLEM WHICH HAS PLAGUED THEIR CARS SINCE THE 90'S. I AM AWARE OF OTHER RECALLS FOR THIS PROBLEM IN THE SUBARU LINE, BUT CURRENT RECALL STOPS OF 2009 ON THE LEGACY. THE BRAKES STARTED LOSING PRESSURE WHEN I WAS ON MY WAY HOME FROM A STORE A 1/4 MIKE FROM HOME. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR HOME SAFELY.

WHEN COMING TO A STOP, THE CAR WILL SOMETIMES STALL. IT ACTS LIKE IT WOULD IF YOU HAD A MANUAL TRANSMISSION AND FORGOT TO PRESS THE CLUTCH. IT DOESN'T HAPPEN ALL THE TIME. SOMETIMES IT'S FINE FOR WEEKS AT A TIME AND THEN WILL DO IT ALL OF A SUDDEN.

THERE WAS A RECALL WITH THIS MODEL AND YEAR AND THEY TOLD ME MY CAR WASN'T INCLUDED IN THE RECALL WHEN ITS DOING EXACTLY WHAT THE RECALL WAS FOR. I HAVE NO HORN, CRUISE CONTROL, NO RADIO CONTROLS AND I DON,T KNOW IF THE AIR BAG WORKS. THIS CAR IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AND SUBARU REFUSES TO REPAIR I WAS TOLD IT WOULD BE $200. PLUS JUST TO DIAGNOSE IT WHEN THEY ALREADY KNOW WHAT IT IS. ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED.

2010 SUBARU LEGACY ' GRAY CAR HAS ROUGH DOWN SHIFTING AS IT COMES TO A STOP. IT VIBRATES OR CLUNKS LIKE FORGETTING TO PUSH IN THE CLUTCH IF THE CAR HAD A STICK SHIFT. CAR STALLS PERIODICALLY. OTHER TIMES THE RPMS DROP AND ENGINE SEEMS TO RECOVER WITHOUT STALLING. WHEN SHIFTING FROM REVERSE TO FORWARD OF FORWARD TO REVERSE THE CAR CHATTERS AND VIBRATES. THIS TYPE OF CHATTER HAS OCCURRED IN ALL SITUATIONS, BUT SEEMS TO BE HAPPEN MORE WHEN HE FRONT WHEELS ARE TURNED AND THE BRAKE IS DEPRESSED. WHILE BACKING OUT OF PARKING SPACE, THEN TURNING TO GO. CAR HAS STALLED A NUMBER OF TIMES. HAPPENS WHEN SLOWING DOWN OR CHANGING GEAR. FRD TO REV. ALL ARE RANDOM OCCURRENCES. THE PROBLEM IS GETTING WORSE AND WORSE. THERE ARE MORE STALLS AND GETTING CLOSER AND CLOSER TOGETHER. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME AND FOR THIS ISSUE. A REPAIR WAS DONE UNDER WARRANTY MAYBE 18 MONTHS AGO. I AM BRINING IT BACK TO SUBARU TODAY. THIS IS THE SAME SYMPTOMS LAST TIME (68K MILES) I WAITED TOO LONG AND CAR BECAME NOT DRIVABLE. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH CVT TRANSMISSION IN THIS CAR AND MUST BE RECALLED.

TORQUE CONVERTER PROBLEM: I WENT TO BOB BAKER SUBARU CARLSBAD, CA THIS 12:10PM, 06/04/18. I TOLD THE SERVICES GUY THAT MY ENGINE SHUT OFF AFTER STEP ON BRAKES AT LOW SPEED. I RESEARCHED AND DOWNLOADED THE DESIGN PROBLEM NOTICE FROM SUBARU, AND HE SAID THE NEED TO DO MORE TESTING ON MY VEHICLE. I WAS WAITING UNTIL 5PM AND HE FINALLY TOLD ME THAT WAS IT. I WAS REPRESENTED THE NOTICE THAT CAME FROM SUBARU COMPANY. WHY HE WAS STILL HESITATE NOT TO FIX IMMEDIATELY AFTER I PRESENTED THE NOTICE. I BELIEVE THAT THEY HAD A LOT OF CUSTOMERS COMPLAINT BEFORE??

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 SUBARU LEGACY. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE HEAD LAMPS WOULD NOT ILLUMINATE PROPERLY DUE TO A DEFECTIVE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE TABS ON BOTH HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES WERE FRACTURED, WHICH CAUSED THE LIGHT BULBS TO BECOME UNSECURED AND MOVE WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AND MAKING TURNS IN EITHER DIRECTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER (CASCADE SUBARU, 4149 STATE RD CUYAHOGA FALLS, OH 44223) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS WOULD NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY, CAUSING A VISIBILITY HAZARD. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

MY WIFE AND I HAD MOVED FROM MILWAUKEE TO SEATTLE IN MARCH 2016. IN APRIL, WE DECIDED TO DRIVE UP TO THE SKAGIT VALLEY 'TULIP FESTIVAL' (NORTH OF THE CITY). WE TOOK MY WIFE'S 2010 SUBARU LEGACY IT WAS A DECENT DAY, BUT NOT WARM ENOUGH TO HAVE THE SUNROOF OPEN. WE DID HAVE THE SHADE OPEN THOUGH AND WERE ENJOYING THE SUN FILTERING IN. ON THE DRIVE UP ON I-5, WE HEARD WHAT SOUNDED LIKE AN EXPLOSION ABOVE US. MY WIFE KEPT HER COMPOSURE, BUT WE HAD TO SLOW DOWN, PULL OVER TO THE RIGHT LANE AND EXIT AS SOON AS WE COULD. WHEN WE STOPPED WE NOTICED A HOLE ABOUT THE SIZE OF A PENNY APPEARING IN THE SUNROOF ABOVE US. THERE WAS SHATTERED GLASS IN THE CUP HOLDERS AND ON THE MIDDLE CONSOLE. WE COULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENED - WE WERE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, NOTHING WAS ABOVE US AND WE COULDN'T FIND A ROCK OR ANYTHING IN THE CAR. THE AUTO GLASS REPAIR SHOP PUT SOME CLING WRAP ON THE GLASS AND TAPED IT SO WE COULD CONTINUE OUR JOURNEY AND AWAIT INSURANCE. TURNS OUT OUR WI INSURANCE WAS STILL IN AFFECT SO WE ACTUALLY (LUCKILY) HAD IT COVERED UNDER GLASS REPLACEMENT. IT WAS A BIT OF A MESS WORKING WITH INSURANCE, GETTING THE REPLACEMENT GLASS, AND SCHEDULING THE REPAIR WORK, BUT WE'RE JUST THANKFUL WE DIDN'T GET GLASS ON US OR GET IN AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THIS. [XXX] SEATTLE WA **THANKS SO MUCH FOR RAISING THE AWARENESS ON THIS AND HELPING OTHERS. WE APPRECIATE IT AND HOPE THE AUTO COMPANIES OR SAFETY BOARDS DO SOMETHING TO HELP PREVENT THIS IN THE FUTURE!** INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TRANSMISSION HAS AN ISSUE WITH LOCK-UP TYPE TORQUE CONVERTER WHERE THE VEHICLE STALLS AT STOPS. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO LAWRENCE SUBARU DEALER IN HANOVER, PA, DEALER REFUSED TO FIX UNDER CURRENT WARRANTY CITING NO ISSUE WITH VEHICLE.

CAR DROPS RPM AND STUMBLES TO ALMOST STALLING DURING BREAKING AT CITY SPEEDS ALSO DOES THE SAME IN LOW SPEED REVERSE SITUATION LIKE PARKING. DASH LIGHTS UP BUT NO CODE STORED. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THIS ISSUE HAS PRESENTED ITSELF. I SPOKE TO A DEALER REFERENCE THE REVERSE ISSUE AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. SUBARU CLAIMS TO BE ONE OF THE SAFEST VEHICLES ON THE ROAD? THIS IS NOT SAFE. THE CHANCE OF BEING REAR ENDED AT HIGHWAY SPEED COULD BE DEADLY!
