2019 SUBARU LEGACY Complaints

A SMALL CRACK (ROUGHLY 2 INCHES IN LENGTH) APPEARED ON MY WINDSHIELD ON THE BOTTOM PASSENGER SIDE, WHILE I WAS DRIVING TO WORK. I NOTICED IT WHILE PARKED AT A RED LIGHT, BUT IT WAS NOT THERE WHEN I HAD STARTED DRIVING. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS SOMETHING ON MY WINDSHIELD BECAUSE I HADN'T BEEN HIT BY ANYTHING, IT JUST APPEARED. THE CRACK SPREAD CONSIDERABLY FURTHER BEFORE I ARRIVED AT WORK AND I HAD TO REPLACE IT THE NEXT DAY.

I TOOK MY SUBARU LEGACY TO THE LITTLE ROCK ARKANSAS SUBARU DEALERSHIP TO SERVICE A RECALL ON MY FUEL TANK. WHILE THERE THE SERVICE MANAGER REFUSED TO REPLACE PARTS LISTED ON THE TSB. WHEN I CONTACTED SUBARU THEY STATED A NEW TSB WAS ISSUED THE DAY BEFORE MY RECALL WAS COMPLETED NOT REQUIRING THOSE STEPS, THAT THE UPDATED TSB WOULD NOT BE PUBLIC, WOULD NOT PROVIDE ANY INFORMATION ABOUT THE NEW TSB AND THAT THEY WERE CLOSING MY COMPLAINT.

ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS I WAS STARTLED BY A LOUD POP KIND OF NOISE COMING FROM THE WINDSHIELD AREA WHILE DRIVING. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WAS AROUND TO CAUSE THIS EITHER TIME AND NOTHING WHATSOEVER HAS HIT THE WINDSHIELD SINCE I'VE OWNED THIS CAR. I AM THE SOLE DRIVER. ON BOTH OCCASIONS, I WAS DRIVING DOWN A STRAIGHT ROAD GOING 50MPH ON MY WAY TO WORK (A 10 MINUTE COMMUTE). THE MORNING AFTER THE SECOND OCCURRENCE, I GOT INTO MY CAR TO FIND A CRACK ON THE LOWER PASSENGER SIDE OF MY WINDSHIELD ABOUT 2/3S OF THE WAY DOWN AND STARTING FROM THE OUTER EDGE. THERE HAD BEEN NO CRACK OR ANY HINT THAT SOMETHING WOULD HAPPEN WHEN I LEFT MY CAR THE DAY BEFORE. HOW DOES A CRACK JUST APPEAR OVERNIGHT WITH ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO CAUSE IT? I HAVE NEVER IN MY LIFE HAD THIS HAPPEN. THE CAR WAS ABSOLUTELY STATIONARY, NO NEARBY TREES OR ANYTHING THAT COULD CAUSE ANY IMPACT. DUE TO COVID, THE CRACK SAT FOR QUITE SOME TIME, WHEN I FINALLY GOT TO MAKE IT TO THE SUBURU DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT MY CAR, THEY DENIED MY CLAIM. THE TECHS SAID THEY COULD FIND NO CHIP OR ORIGINATION FOR THE CRACK... (BECAUSE THERE WASN'T ONE) THE TECHS AGREED IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY BUT SUBURU STILL DENIED MY CLAIM. I'M NOW OUT $1103.00

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR WITH NO OTHER CARS AROUND, MY WINDSHIELD CRACKED. THE CRACK NOW HAS GROWN TO THE CENTER OF THE WINDSHIELD.

TL* THE CONTACT'S WIFE OWNS A 2019 SUBARU LEGACY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HIS WIFE RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 20V218000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). HIS WIFE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO BROWN'S MANASSAS SUBARU (9018 LIBERIA AVE, MANASSAS, VA 20110) WHERE THE RECALL REMEDY WAS PERFORMED AND THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO THE CONTACT'S WIFE. ABOUT A MONTH LATER, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AFTER HIS WIFE MADE MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO START THE VEHICLE. DUE TO THE FAILURE, HIS WIFE HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO FAULKNER SUBARU BETHLEHEM (330 STOKE PARK RD, BETHLEHEM, PA 18017) WHERE THEY DISCOVERED THAT THE FUEL PUMP WAS CORRODED AT THE ELECTRIC CONNECTIONS.

THERE IS AN 18 INCH CRACK IN OUR WINDSHIELD. WE HEARD A SOFT 'POP' NOISE WHEN WE WERE DRIVING STRAIGHT ON A LEVEL ASPHALT ROAD AT A LOW SPEED. NO ROCKS OR OTHER OBJECTS HIT THE GLASS. WE LOOKED AROUND TO SEE WHAT IT WAS AND WE NOTICED THE CRACK. IT IS ABOUT 18 INCHES LONG AND STARTS AT THE EDGE OF THE GLASS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE.

WAS DRIVING TO WORK WHEN A TINY ROCK HIT MY WINDSHIELD ABOUT 3 INCHES FROM PASSENGER SIDE OF GLASS. IT WAS ABOUT HALFWAY UP THE WINDSHIELD. THE ROCK HIT WAS BARLEY AUDIBLE, ALMOST DIDN'T NOTICE IT. WHEN I GOT TO WORK I INSPECTED IT AND FOUND THE SLIGHTEST SCRATCH, NO CHIP, NOT ANY SIGNS OF A CRACK. SO I DIDN'T WORRY ABOUT IT. WHEN I GOT IN MY CAR AT LUNCH NOTICED A CRACK FROM SIDE TO SIDE OF WINDSHIELD. I CAN TAKE MY FINGERNAIL AND FEEL THE CRACK ON BOTH SIDES. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. WHAT ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO DO ON ROAD TRIPS, STOP AND GET YOUR GLASS REPLACED EVERY TIME YOU GET A CHIP. I DO NOT FEEL THIS CAR IS SAFE TO DRIVE WHEN THE WINDSHIELD IS CRACKED FROM SIDE TO SIDE. NOT TO MENTION YOU CAN GET A TICKET OR TOLD TO PARK THE CAR WHEN IT IS IN THE DRIVERS VIEW! *TR

THE WINDSHIELD OF THE CAR CRACKED OVERNIGHT, WHILE IN STATIONARY, PARKED ON THE CITY STREET IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA. I PARKED MY CAR IN FRONT MY HOUSE ON SUNDAY, AUG 11, 2019, AND WHEN I WENT OUT IN THE MORNING OF AUG 12, 2019, THE WINDSHIELD WAS CRACKED. AT THAT POINT, I HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR 10.5 MONTHS WITH A MILEAGE OF ABOUT 5500 MILES. THE CRACK STARTED FROM THE LOWER PART OF THE WINDSHIELD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND EXTENDED TO THE MIDDLE OF WINDSHIELD, ALMOST TO THE DIVER'S SIDE. I NOTIFIED THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT IT'S NOT COVERED BY THE COMPANY. I HAD TO GET IT FIXED AT MY OWN EXPENSE.

FRONT WINDSHIELD HAS CRACKED TWICE WITHIN 6 MONTHS FOR NO APPARENT REASON AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE. THE CRACKS WERE BOTH ON THE DRIVER SIDE, MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SEE WHILE DRIVING.
