2015 Subaru Legacy Engine Problems

“At 300 miles, coming off highway, slowed down to 5 MPH and went thru toll booth. I then stepped on gas, had hesitation, no response then acceleration. Happened again on 5/11/15 when I had 900 miles. Came off highway on to local streets. This time had 5-7 big hesitations over 10 minute period. Very dangerous because I was making a u-turn and car hesitated then accelerated as I was making u-turn !! Returned car to dealer. Do not want to drive it until fixed.”

“Since november of 2017 while driving the car it has intermittently jerked and shook excessively, bucking like a mad horse. Car was brought in to dealer for diagnosis. Dealer was not able to identify the cause. After several visits to dealer where I was assured the problem was fixed the same problem continued. It should be noted that the car, while driving started to shut down and I needed to be towed to the dealer. Dealer claimed the problem was a faulty spark plug. Car was then returned to me. Yet again the problem persisted and had I to crawl like a turtle back to home. …”

“On april 11th we bought our brand new Subaru Legacy it had maybe 34 miiles on it (give or take) my husband drives the car and a couple of days having the car the radio/backup camera/phone system crashes- it happened a couple of times. On april 14th my husband brought the car into service. Now I am going to just speed things up put all service visits in one explanation as I do not have many characters left. In the 8 times that we have been to service with loaner cars, they replaced the radio once. They couldn't replicate the issue, so we sent them video of it. …”

“I was driving to work when the engine low oil light came on. I checked the oil immediately and it appeared to be down about a quart. I contacted the dealership and took it in the next day. They confirmed the oil was down about a quart and started an engine oil study. I am to take the car back to the dealership in 1200 to have the oil level checked. This appears to be a known problem with the 2011 and above subarus. This all happened a month or so after I had already taken the car to the dealership after having a burnt oil smell from outside of the car. Nothing was found.”

“May 8th 2015 we purchased our 2015 Subaru Legacy 2.5i premium. #1. Very prominent coolant smell from passenger side engine area. Loosing coolant. #2. 600 miles- transmission/ ecu /throttle delay , a 3-5 sec delay in the response when going from (r) into (d) and the same 3-5 sec delay is duplicated when going from a stop to accelerating the car.
