2011 Subaru Impreza Visibility (wipers, defrost, mirrors) Problems

“While driving home to boulder, co from golden, I heard what sounded like a gunshot overhead and immediately pulled over. My sunroof had exploded outward. There was no road debris or rocks or anything that might have hit it. The sunshade was closed, so no glass fell into the car. Half the glass was gone, and what was still attached was completely shattered. Not cool.”

“While driving home to denver, co from durango, outside of bayfield, we heard what sounded like a gunshot overhead and immediately pulled over. My sunroof had exploded outward. There was no other traffic on the road. The sunshade (?) was closed, so no glass fell into the car. Half the glass was gone, and what was still attached was completely shattered.”

“While driving on the freeway, I hit a bump and the rear view mirror fell off it's attachment on the windshield. Rear view mirror was dangling down from wire. Checked with the dealer, stated there was a campaign ie. Not a recall for this issue so it's a known issue. My car being out of warranty, I purchased new rear view mirror mount adaptor from the dealer as car is out of warranty. New adaptopr shows reduced chamfers ensuring screws (too short?) engage properly. …”

“Add our names to the list of Subaru drivers whose driver side sun visor broke and no longer stayed in place. The control arm on the visor cracked, resulting in the visor hanging down directly in front of the driver and impairing visibility. We were required to remove the visor and lack the use of a visor during glare conditions which was also a safety issue as both conditions impair the driver's ability to see oncoming traffic, obstacles in the road, etc. This seems like a serious defect which many others have apparently had an issue with as well, and clearly should be the subject of a recall. …”

“During slow driving over speed bumps or highway driving over bridge gaps, the driver's side sun visor will suddenly and swiftly swing down into the driver's line of sight. The visor will not retain its properly stowed up position, and continually droops into the line of sight. Attempts to put the sun visor back up fail, as the visor will drop back down into the line of sight.”
