Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Our windshield developed a crack that grew over two days and now extends half the width of the windshield. We discovered this crack when getting into the car after it was parked. There is no obvious reason for this crack. We have no memory of hitting or being hit by any object. I understand that such spontaneous cracks have appeared on other Subaru outbacks and legacies.”
NHTSA complaint #10735049, filed 2015-07, 2,000 miles“After both front door seals were replaced in 2016,, the wind noise returned. Spoke to Subaru customer service, and was they sent me a 'sorry for the inconvenience' check for $250.00 which didn't cover the original issue.”
NHTSA complaint #11144249, filed 2018-10, 51,000 miles“I have had several battery issues that I just believed to be bad luck and would get a new battery under warranty but it has gotten worse lately. It led me to look online and I notice I am not nearly the only one as this complaint has been brought up my numerous people. It is in regards to my 2015 Subaru legacy and how I’m not certain if my car will start if I make a few short trips where I’m “in and out” of the car more than 3 times in a short period of time. …”
