Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“After owning the car for a month, I noticed the hood had become uneven where it meets the front end. I also began to notice a wider gap between the hood and the right fender than on the left side. This gap has widened. When I took the car back to albany Subaru, the service manager made some adjustments that made minimal improvements to the hood where it meets the front end, though it is still uneven. The rubber gasket still doesn't fill the gap. This made the gap between the right fender and hood even wider. I took the car back to albany Subaru. …”
