2012 SUBARU LEGACY Complaints

ENGINE TURNS OFF WHEN CAR COMES TO STOP. 5 TIMES IN THE LAST 3 WEEKS MY CAR ENGINE HAS DIED. ON ONE OCCASION I MISSED A GREEN LIGHT AND ON ANOTHER OCCASION WAS ALMOST REARENDED AT A STOP SIGN.

I WAS HIT IN THE REAR END OF THE CAR AND HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME, BUT THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. I WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP DURING RUSH HOUR ON A HIGHWAY.

FOUR NEW CONTINENTAL PURE CONTACT 215-50 R17 95V TIRES WERE INSTALLED IN APRIL 2016. THE VEHICLE'S ORIGINAL TIRES (NOT CONTINENTAL) HAD LASTED 38,000 MILES. ONE MONTH LATER A SIDEWALL BLOWOUT OCCURRED IN ONE OF THE NEW CONTINENTAL TIRES AFTER BEING DRIVEN LESS THAN 500 MILES. IT WAS REPLACED BY THE MANUFACTURER. THEN, AFTER DRIVING LESS THAN 7000 MILES, TWO OF FOUR TIRES WERE FOUND TO HAVE SIDE WALL BUBBLES. BECAUSE OF SAFETY CONCERN, ALL FOUR TIRES WERE REPLACED WITH ANOTHER BRAND.

VEHICLE HAS AN ELECTRICAL FAILURE THAT CAUSES THE DASH CHECK ENGINE, BRAKE, CRUISE AND OTHER LIGHTS TO ACTIVATE. WHILE DRIVING, THE FAILURE CAUSES: ONE OR BOTH HEADLIGHTS TO SUDDENLY FAIL MAKING THE VEHICLE ILLEGAL AND DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AT NIGHT, CRUISE CONTROL TO SUDDENLY FAIL, AND STABILITY CONTROL TO BECOME NON-FUNCTIONAL. THE MAIN FAILURE BEING THE HEADLIGHTS/DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS COULD CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH DUE TO SUDDEN LACK OF VISIBILITY AT NIGHT. SUBARU WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE/FIX THE FAILURE ON 2 SERVICE OCCASIONS. THIS FAILURE OCCURS WITHOUT WARNING WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AT BOTH HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND CITY STREET SPEEDS. THE COMPONENT CAUSING THE FAILURE IS UNKNOWN.

TORQUE CONVERTER - CAR STALLS WHEN BRAKING ABRUPTLY. CAN/WILL CAUSE ACCIDENT SOON...

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 SUBARU LEGACY. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V014000 (AIR BAGS). THE PARTS NEEDED FOR THE REPAIRS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT BELIEVED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME TO PROVIDE THE RECALL REPAIRS. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY (60) MPH MY SUNROOF EXPLODED OUTWORDS. BY OUTWORDS I MEAN BUCKLED UP AND OUT. RAZOR SHARP PRICES OF GLASS FLEW EVERYWHERE ALL OVER MY HEAD AND FACE. EXTREMELY SCARY. THERE WAS NO OVER PASSES AND OR TRAFFIC IN FRONT OF ME AT THE TIME. THE FORCE OF A ROCK AT THIS SPEED WOULD NOT COME CLOSE TO ANYTHING LIKE THIS. IT WAS ALMOST LIKE THE CABIN WAS UNDER PRESSURE.

HIT HEAD ON DRIVING OUR 2012 SUBARU LEGACY BY A NISSAN MAXIMA BOTH TRAVELING OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS AT 40 MILES PER HOUR. ALL AIR BAGS IN OTHER VEHICLE WERE DEPLOYED WHILE NONE DEPLOYED IN THE SUBARU CONTRIBUTING TO EXTENSIVE IMPACT INJURIES, SEAL/LAP BELT INJURIES AND CLOSED HEAD TRAUMA. THIS ACCIDENT OCCURRED ON A CITY STREET, DRY ROAD CONDITIONS WITH NO CONTRIBUTING FACTORS EXCEPT NEGLIGENCE ON OTHER DRIVERS PART.

2012 70,000 MILES CAR BEGAN TO STALL AT STOPS BUT NOT ALL THE TIME. MORE OFTEN AT ABRUPT STOPS. THIS HAPPENS ANYWHERE AT A STOP LIGHT, STOP SIGN, FREEWAY DRIVING. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. I AM BEING TOLD IT IS THE TORQUE CONVERTER AIR FLOW (SOMETHING LIKE THAT) AND CAN COST $2500 TO FIX. IT APPEARS SUBARU HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM SINCE AT LEAST 2010 AND HAS NOT ALERTED THE OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES. *TR

MY SUBARU LEGACY HAS BEEN RECENTLY STALLING WHEN COMING TO A STOP. IT SHUDDERS AND IF YOU DO NOT GIVE IT GAS OR PLACE IN NEUTRAL, THE ENGINE WILL DIE. I HAVE READ THAT THIS IS CAUSED FROM A FAULTY TORQUE CONVERTER THAT SUBARU IS AWARE OF BUT HAS FAILED TO ISSUE A RECALL. I'M NOT SURE I WOULD BUY ANOTHER PRODUCT THAT ISN'T FULLY BACKED AND SUPPORTED BY THE MANUFACTURER.
