2015 SUBARU OUTBACK Complaints

AFTER 2 YEARS OF OWNERSHIP ON MY BRAND NEW SUBARU OUTBACK 2015, I HAVE NOTICED A LOUD SQUEAKY SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE WHEN I START MY CAR AFTER IT RAINED/SNOWED. THE SOUND WOULD GO AWAY AFTER A FEW MINUTES, HOWEVER, IT DIDN'T SEEM NORMAL. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT NOTHING IS WRONG AND IT IS PERFECTLY FINE. HOWEVER, THE SQUEAKY NOISE STILL OCCURS AFTER RAIN/SNOW. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT WATER IS LEAKING INTO A BELT WHEN IT'S NOT SUPPOSE TO AND IT IS CAUSING THE NOISE WHEN THE ENGINE IS STARTED. SUBARU NEEDS TO LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE BECAUSE THIS PROBLEM ONLY HAPPENS AFTER IT RAINS/SNOWS AND CANNOT BE REPLICATED WHEN THE CAR IS BROUGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEREFORE, IT IS HARD TO HAVE THIS ISSUE FIXED.

WINDSHIELD CRACKED BY THE REAR VIEW MIRROR'IT STARTED IN THE BLACK SECTION ALONGSIDE THE MIRROR AND CAME DOWN AND MADE A J AND REVERSE J PATTEN ONTO DRIVERS SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE AT EYE LEVEL. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE SUBARU DEALER AND THEY DETERMINED THERE WAS NO IMPACT POINT BUT REFUSED TO COVER IT UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY BECAUSE IT DID NOT CRACK IN THE WINDSHIELD WIPER AREA. WINDSHIELD WAS NEVER HIT BY ROCK OR OTHER DEBRIS AND THERE IS NO APPARENT REASON FOR IT TO CRACK LIKE IT DID. THE CRACK APPEARED WHEN THE CAR WAS PARKED IN MY GARAGE. APPEARS TO BE A DEFECT IN THE SUBARU CARLEX WINDSHIELDS. I FOUND FOUND SEVERAL COMMENTS ONLINE DESCRIBING THIS SAME CRACKING PATTERN.
