2016 Subaru Outback Body and structure Problems

“At 9am on april 20, 2016, I walked past the front of my Outback, parked with the ignition off, in my garage. The rear tailgate suddenly beeped and opened fully. I had no key fob openers on my person nor were any of my two key fobs within 20 feet of the car at the time. All doors had been in a closed position, including the tailgate, but the car was not locked at the time. …”

“On 09/19/2017 I have brought our vehicle to lithia reno Subaru for service on the front passenger door panel. When the door handle was pulled on while closing the door, the door panel pulled in excessively. Lithia reno Subaru determined that three screws were missing on inner door panel. I believe this defect existed from the time the vehicle was first assembled at the factory. This defect was not covered by manufacturer warranty.”

“Hood unlatches unexpectedly. This has probably occured a half dozed times or so in the last year. Just yesterday driving on the interstate it unlatched. Fortunately the safety latch didn't release, but that could certainly happen especially with the wind pressure from driving at interstate speeds.”

“Took delivery of our car in the rain - dealership did not have it waiting in a showroom - so didn't notice scratch on both sides (it is black) til got it home and cleaned it up. Dealership on recheck buffed out the whole car - still there - disappointed - a lot of money for a vehicle to have such an elementary trouble.”

“Hit deer with right front fender at about 40 MPH on a dry, straight hwy. Impact was minor, sheet metal damage only,no fluid loss or suspension system damage but air bags deployed violently, much smoke. Side air bags did not deflate making it very difficult to exit vehicle. Airbag impact on left ear has damaged hearing, probably permanently.
