The contact owns a 2017 Subaru Impreza. The contact stated while seated in the passenger’s seat, the passenger’s side air bag occupant sensor failed to operate as needed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and she was informed that due to her stature, the passenger’s side occupant sensor would not recognize her while seated in the passenger’s seat. The manufacturer had been notified of the failure but offered no assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was unknown.

I purchased this car in January 2021 from the Mechanicsburg Faulkner dealership in PA. It was previously owned by one person. I am the second owner. On May 5, 2021, as I was getting into my car to drive to work, I noticed a crack on the right side of my windshield. Upon closer inspection, the crack appeared to have started from the very edge of the lower part of the windshield. Nothing fell on my car as it is kept secured in our garage.

THIS IS IN REGARDS TO THE SUBARU WINDSHIELD LAWSUIT. SOMETIME IN LATE MAY OF 2020, I FOUND MY PARKED CAR ON THE STREET OUTSIDE MY APARTMENT WITH A CRACK THAT SPANNED OVER 12"ON THE FRONT WINDSHIELD. THERE WAS NO SIGN OF WHAT CAUSED THE CRACK. OVER THE NEXT FEW WEEKS THE CRACK CONTINUED TO GROW ACROSS THE WINDSHIELD. I HAD IT REPLACED JULY 7, 2020, AT THAT TIME OF IT WAS OVER 24" LONG. I WAS TOLD BY MY LOCAL WINDOW REPAIR SHOP THAT SUBARU HAD TO BE THE ONES TO REPLACE THE WINDSHIELD BECAUSE THEY WOULD BE THE ONES THAT NEEDED TO RECALIBRATE THE COMPUTER SYSTEM THAT CONNECTED TO THE WINDSHIELD.

WINDSHIELD COWL BUCKLES WITH WIDE GAP. DEALER REPLACED THE COWL AND ADJUSTED CLIPS A HANDFUL OF TIMES AND IT STILL HAPPENS AND THAT THEY SEE A LOT OF IMPREZAS THAT ARE "JUST LIKE THAT". THIS IS GOING TO CAUSE ALL KINDS OF WATER DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE, SEVERELY REDUCING THE VEHICLE'S LIFE AND VALUD. IT IS ALSO A SAFETY HAZARD AS THE WINDSHIELD IS NOT FULLY SEALED. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND REMEDIED BY SUBARU.

I HAD PURCHASED A SUBARU IMPREZA 2017 IN JUNE OF 2017. SINCE LEAVING THE PARKING LOT WITH THE CAR I'VE EXPERIENCED ALL THE INFO ENTERTAINMENT ISSUES. I HAVE A WEIRD ENGINE TICKING NOISE. THE VEHICLE WILL CONTINUE TO ACCELERATE. IT HAS NEVER GONE OUT OF CONTROL. HOWEVER THE 'FORWARD' MOMENTUM/ INERTIA THAT'S CREATED BY THE ENGINE DOESN'T DISPERSE CORRECTLY THRU THE EXHAUST AS IT SHOULD. THE VEHICLE IS A 5 SPEED MANUAL AND IF I DON'T SHIFT DOWN TO NEUTRAL WHEN STOPING THEN I WON'T STOP WHERE I'M JUDGING TO. THE CAR WILL FEEL AS IF IT'S SLIDING OVER THE BRAKES. YOU ALSO MAY HAVE TO POWER BRAKE WITH THE CLUTCH AS I DO REGULARLY. SINCE HAVING ALL THESE ISSUES. WHEN EVER I'D GO TO A DEALER THEY WOULD SAY SOME JARGON ABOUT HOW IF THEY HAVE TO TURN A SCREW THAT'S NOT A PART OF THE PART BEING FIXED UNDER WARRANTY OR A RECALL THEN THAT WOULD HAVE TO BE PAID FOR. I WAS TOLD I CAN HAVE MY CAR SERVICED BUT THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY WILL HAVE TO DO. PRETTY MUCH TAKING ME FOR A RIDE OF 'FEAR MONGERING' AND SAYING PUT YOUR HAND ON THIS TABLE AND LET'S PLAY THE KNIFE GAME...POKE! I WOULD BE PUT IN A VERY TOUGH SITUATION WITH NO GUARANTEE. THE DEALER DID THIS SO THEY WOULDN'T HAVE TO DO WORK AND NOT GET PAID. BECAUSE THEY LOOSE MONEY AS A DEALER FOR RECALL WORK. THEY ARE NOT SUBARU AT ALL. ALL IN ALL NOW I'M TOLD TO HAVE MY CAR TAKEN TO SERVICE FOR ALL THE NUMEROUS RECALLS/LAWSUITS ATTACHED TO MY CAR. EVEN THO NOW I'M PAST MY WARRANTY (120,000). AND THERE SAYING THE SAME BS AS THEY WILL CHARGE FOR EVERYTHING NOT ASSOCIATED TO THE EFFECTED PARTS. ALL NECESSARY MEANS TO ADDRESS THE EFFECTED PARTS SHOULD BE ASSOCIATED WITH THE RECALL. I HAVE BEEN SCAMED. THE WHOLE TIME EVERY ISSUE WAS EITHER UNDER WARRANTY OR RECALL AND THEY NEVER HONOR IT. IF THEY DO. THEY WILL FIX WHATEVER HAS A SCRATCH AND CHARGE YOU SAYING IT WAS REQUIRED. IT'S ALL A GAME. THEY ARE CON ARTISTS!!!

WINDSHIELD CRACKS LIGHT DEBRIS WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY. STARTS FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE WINDSHIELD AND WHILE DRIVING, THE CRACK JUST KEEPS GROWING FROM 3 INCHES UNTIL ABOUT 8-9 INCHES, AND IT'S STILL GOING. THE SOUND OF THE DEBRIS WASN'T THAT LOUD, NEVER HAD THIS TYPE OF ISSUE WITH OTHER CARS WITH EVEN LOUDER HITS.

I PURCHASED A USED 2017 SUBARU IMPREZA IN APRIL OF 2020. THE WINDSHIELD HAS BEEN BROKEN TWICE SINCE THEN. THE ONLINE PHOTOS SHOWED IT WITH AN INTACT WINDSHIELD. WHEN IT WAS BROUGHT TO MY HOME FOR A TEST DRIVE IT HAD MULTIPLE CRACKS ON THE WINDSHIELD AND THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY HAD TO REPLACE IT WHEN WE PURCHASED IT AS THEY WERE IN THE LINE OF SITE FOR THE DRIVER AND A SAFETY HAZARD. AFTER A FEW WEEKS OF NOT DRIVING THE CAR OTHER THAN TO GET GROCERIES DURING COVID THE NEW WINDSHIELD THAT THE DEALER HAD JUST REPLACE CRACKED. THERE IS NO STONE PIT, IT SIMPLY CRACKED ON ITS OWN. THIS CRACK RUNS FROM THE UPPER PASSENGER CORNER FOR APPROXIMATELY 18' TOWARD THE MIDDLE AND BOTTOM OF THE WINDSHIELD. IT APPEARS TO EITHER BE STRESS OR THERMAL RELATED. TWO WINDSHIELD CRACKS THAT DON'T APPEAR TO BE FROM A ROCK IN A MONTHS TIME SEEM LIKE A POSSIBLE DEFECT TO ME. THE CRACK I NOTICED GROW WITHOUT RECALLING A SPECIFIC INCIDENT THAT STARTED IT. THE DEALER IS NOW TRYING TO OFFER A 5 YEAR CRYSTAL FUSION TREATMENT AND WARRANTY FOR $995. SOME ONLINE SEARCHING ON THIS MAKES THAT SEEM LIKE A SCAM AT BEST. THE DISCLAIMER ON THE FORM STATES THAT THEY WON'T REPLACE THE WINDSHIELD IF BREAKAGE IS PART OF A FACTORY DEFECT, WHICH IT IS LOOKING LIKE THEY COULD STATE. I WANT TO REPLACE MY WINDSHIELD THAT IS CRACKED, BUT WOULD LIKE SOME REASSURANCE THAT IT WON'T BREAK NEARLY IMMEDIATELY AGAIN AND WOULD LIKE SUBARU OR THE DEALER TO STAND BEHIND THESE VEHICLES AS THIS APPEARS TO BE A WIDESPREAD AND SYSTEMATIC ISSUE.

I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE MY WINDSHIELD TWICE WITHIN 12 MONTHS DUE TO CHIPPING AND CRACKING. THE FIRST CHIP CAUSED A 12+ INCH CRACK WHICH PROMPTED REPLACEMENT ($1000.00) 5 MONTHS AFTER THE ORIGINAL REPLACEMENT SALT ON THE EXPRESSWAY CHIPPED THE 2ND WINDSHIELD. EACH TIME SOMETHING COMES IN CONTACT WITH THE WINDSHIELD, IT SEEMS TO CHIP. I HAVE APPROXIMATELY 4 CHIPS IN MY NEWEST WINDSHIELD. I DON'T THINK THE WINDSHIELD SHOULD HAVE CHIPPED SO EASILY

THE VEHICLE STARTED TO GET RUST IN THE TRUNK AROUND WHERE THE RAIN WATER SLIDES DOWN THE VEHICLE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE SUBARU DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED IT AND TRIED TO CLAIM THE MANUFACTURER'S 3 YEAR ANTI CORROSION WARRANTY TO REPAIR THE DAMAGE BUT THE SUBARU DEALERSHIP CLAIMED THAT SUBARU OF AMERICA DETERMINED THAT THE RUST WAS CAUSED BY "OUTSIDE INFLUENCES" AND REFUSED TO COVER IT WITH THE 3 YEAR ANTI CORROSION WARRANTY.

I RECEIVED A NOTICE FROM SUBARU DESCRIBED AS A SERVICE PROGRAM WUR-03. THEREFORE IT IS NOT A RECALL LIKE THE ECM AND PCV VALVE ISSUES. I WAS UNABLE TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT SINCE I RECEIVED THE NOTICE SO CLOSE TO THE HOLIDAY. UNFORTUNATELY I WAS INVOLVED IN A TRAFFIC ACCIDENT BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE IN FOR THE SERVICE. THE SERVICE IS EXPLAINED AS AN ISSUE WITH THE BRAKE HOSES WHERE FLUID SEEPS BETWEEN THE LAYERS OF THE HOSES. SO, SUBARU WANTS TO REPLACE ALL 4 OF THE BRAKE HOSES AT NO CHARGE. I AM AN AUTO TECH SO I KNOW THAT ANY INTERNAL BREAKDOWN OF A BRAKE HOSE INTERFERES WITH THE ABILITY OF THE BRAKE SYSTEM PERFORMING PROPERLY. WHAT HAPPENED DURING THE ACCIDENT IN QUESTION IS THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO STOP IN TIME CAUSING MY VEHICLE TO STRIKE THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. THERE WAS SUFFICIENT SPACE FOR THE VEHICLE STOP WITHOUT STRIKING THE OTHER VEHICLE. BUT WHEN I PRESSED THE BRAKES I HEARD A NOISE, ALMOST LIKE THE ABS PUMP OVER-PRESSURIZING, THE BRAKE PEDAL VIBRATED AND PUSHED BACK AGAINST MY FOOT SLIGHTLY AS MY VEHICLE SLID INTO THE BACK OF THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT THE ROADS WERE DRY AND IT WAS SUNNY ABOUT 50 DEGREES. IN OTHER WORDS, ABSOLUTELY NO REASON FOR MY VEHICLE TO SLIDE.

THERE ARE TWO SEPARATE ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE WHICH HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED THROUGH DEALERS HELP AND NO RECALLS HAVE BEEN ISSUED YET FOR THESE PROBLEMS. FIRST: THE ENGINE STALLS AROUND 16 TO 11 MPH. THE ACCELERATION SLOWS DOWN RAPIDLY AFTER 16-15MPH THEN IT RAMPS UP AT 13MPH AND THEN SLOWS DOWN AROUND 11 MPH SPEEDS. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN PERSISTENT SINCE THE OWNERSHIP OF THE VEHICLE. NHTSA NEEDS TO LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM SINCE IT CAN BE A POTENTIAL SAFETY RISK AND CAN CAUSE ACCIDENTS. SECOND: THE BATTERY ON THIS VEHICLE WAS DEAD SUDDENLY OVER NIGHT WITHOUT ANY VISIBLE CLUES. NO MAP OR DOME LIGHTS WERE KEPT ON. THE VEHICLE WAS SWITCHED OFF PROPERLY AND NEXT MORNING THE BATTERY WAS DEAD. SOMEWHERE IN THE VEHICLE (THE SUSPECT IS INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM) THE BATTERY IS DRAINING. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE AND HAD TO CHANGE THE BATTERIES. THESE ISSUES ARE HUGE SAFETY HAZARDS THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESS IMMEDIATELY.

SUBARU IMPREZA 2017, 14.7K MILES: I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE IN JUN 2017. IN JAN 2018 AND AUG 2018, SEVEN AND SIXTEEN MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE, RODENTS CHEWED THROUGH THE SOY-BASED ELECTRICAL WIRING AND WIRE HARNESS, RESPECTIVELY. MY SUBARU SERVICE DEPT. ADVISED ME THE IMPREZA WILL ALWAYS BE PREDISPOSED TO WIRE DAMAGE FROM RODENTS BECAUSE THEY CAN GAIN ACCESS TO GARAGES AND OTHER TYPES OF CAR STORAGE FACILITIES, AND, THEY LOVE THE TASTE OF THE SOY WANTING MORE AFTER THEY EXPERIENCE THE TASTE. SUBARU WAS WELL AWARE OF THE SOY WIRING PROBLEM AS EARLY AS 2015 AND WAS SUED BECAUSE OF IT IN 2017. EVEN SO, SUBARU DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM, AND IN FACT, OBVIOUSLY CONTINUES TO MANUFACTURE VEHICLES CONTAINING SOY-BASED PRODUCTS THAT ARE A PROVEN ATTRACTANT TO RODENTS. IN AN ATTEMPT TO COMPLETELY PREVENT RODENTS FROM BEING ABLE TO ACCESS MY CAR, AND AFTER MANY, MANY RODENT ABATEMENT ATTEMPTS, I WAS FORCED TO BUY A CAR BUBBLE WHERE I COULD LITERALLY SEAL THE CAR INSIDE AND PROTECT IT. SUBARU'S NEGLIGENCE CAUSES A BUILT-IN FINANCIAL LIABILITY FOR MANY IMPREZA OWNERS. AS OF OCT 2018, THE REPAIRS, RODENT ABATEMENT AND CAR BUBBLE HAS COST $2,000+ DOLLARS. SUBARU USED PROVEN RODENT ATTRACTANTS IN IMPREZA VEHICLE PRODUCTION CAUSING 1) UNNECESSARY REPAIRS EVEN FOR NEW CAR OWNERS WHO RIGHTFULLY DO NOT HAVE ANY EXPECTATION THAT THE VEHICLE WILL REQUIRE REPAIRS BECAUSE OF SOY INDUCED RODENTS, 2) FINANCIAL HARDSHIP FROM REPAIRS THAT CAN BE EXTENSIVE AND EXPENSIVE, AS WELL AS THE COST OF PRIMARY AND SUPPLEMENTAL RODENT ABATEMENT PROGRAMS, 3) INCONVENIENCE HAVING TO DEAL WITH ONGOING, SIMILAR TYPES OF REPAIRS AND RELATED INSURANCE CLAIMS, AND, 4) THE ROUTINE OF THE TIME AND EFFORT REQUIRED TO REMOVE AND REPLACE A VEHICLE THAT HAS TO BE HOUSED IN A CAR BUBBLE. DESPITE MY REQUESTS, THE DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO MAKE ANY AND ALL REPAIRS UNDER THE MANUFACTURER WARRANTY.

WE NEVER WOULD HAVE PURCHASED THE CAR IF WE HAD KNOWN ABOUT ITS OIL CONSUMPTION.
