2024 Subaru Ascent Visibility (wipers, defrost, mirrors) Problems

“When driving the side mirror on the driver’s side vibrates so much that it impairs the drivers ability to see anything in it. I have had the mirror replaced once and the replacement does the same thing. I was told by the dealership that it is a known issue without a solution.”

“Driver's side mirror vibrates at highway speeds 55+ mph, so much so that images in the mirror are blurry and difficult to clearly make out distance and speed of other vehicles. Vehicle has not yet been in for service, but is scheduled at the end of October for the 6K mile service. I'll report it then and see what the dealer says. I've seen that this is reported by other owners without resolution, and now there is also a class action lawsuit filed in TX.”

“The driver’s side mirror vibrates excessively, especially at highway speeds, to the point where it makes me nauseous to use it. I’ve asked my dealer to look at it, and I’ve even upgraded to the night-dimming mirrors, but the vibration still occurs. I am not comfortable using this mirror while driving. I am the original owner, and primary driver, of this vehicle, and it has had this problem since I bought it in April 2024. The car now has more than 14,000 miles on it, and the vibration is starting to affect my driving habits. …”

“Driver side window will not go up on command. It gets stuck and has a mind of its own. This started in August of 2024. This is a safety hazard, as I live in Alaska with very cold temperatures and blowing snow. This was reported to the only available dealership in my area. I even showed the Service Advisor a video on my phone that I took of the window not responding to the controls. I was told the window is just dirty and to wipe the rubber strips/seams down with alcohol pads. I’ve done that several times now and it makes no difference. …”

“The Driver's Door Mirror, has excessive shaking. Bought it to the Subaru dealer where it was purchased, they tried to replace it and the mirror was still shaking. Shop Manager informed me her notified SOA, no fix at this time. Was informed because of slight change to body style and mirror size it has this issue on the 2024 models. It causes the inability to use the mirror clearly on that side of the vehicle. It causes a bit of dizziness for me trying to decipher what I'm looking at. It is a useless but important item on the car for driving. …”
