“The left rear strut tower on the car rotted almost completely off causing the interior over the strut tower to bulge way up inside the car. This happened without warning as I was driving the car. I removed the interior of the car and found out that almost all of the strut tower was rotted away on the left rear side and the right rear side has a couple of rot holes in it getting read to do the same thing the left side did. …”
NHTSA complaint #10422116, filed 2011-08, 209,000 miles“The brake and gas pedals on automatic transmission Subaru Legacy models are so close together that a man of average shoe size, wearing boots of any kind, is liable to inadvertently apply pressure to both pedals at the same time. The fix is simple: Subaru of america should hang the manual transmission brake pedal, with its smaller pad footprint, on all automatic transmission Legacy models. Problem solved. While driving my vehicle, and if wearing boots, I must maintain constant vigilance to avoid the potentially lethal consequence of applying pressure to both pedals at the same time.”

Each dealership has claimed the car was repaired only to have it leak again shortly thereafter. The car only leaks during a heavy rain and while sitting in a parked position. I have become quite concerned with this problem. A concern is if the water is going into the cabin where else is it possibly going and affecting. Is wiring being affected? The last dealership to try and tackle this issue has claimed that the car's drain holes were plugged and water was backing up into the cabin. …”
