Legacy

  • 66,000 miles
I parked my car on a road (neighborhood) with a slight incline. I went around in front of it to look at an item for sale (smalll pink piano) in the yard. I looked at the item, then heard my car take off. I tried to run to get into it to stop it, but it was going too fast. It ended up going to the right and running into the garage of the house I was near. It hit the left hand side of the garage and continued into the garage where it was stopped by some paint cans piled up and the back of the garage. The man who lived in the house was able to squeeze into the drivers side and back it out - I drove it home (about 2 blocks). My insurance company came out and estimated the damage at about $4500, but they have not looked underneath or at the mechanics. Subaru is investigating. Pictures are too big to upload

My front bumper pops off on a regular basis and my gps had to be replaced more than once. Now it has another problem in the contact area. Letters are missing. If need to find a number under the letter "G", you can't. the area where the letter "G" should be is blank.

My vehicle was involved in an accident yesterday. While pulling in to a parking spot and almost completely stopped with my foot on the brake about to place the car in park, it suddenly accelerated. The result was a front end collision with the side of a restaurant and the air bags did not deploy. I'm grateful that there were no injuries but I'm worried that there may be something seriously wrong with this vehicle and possibly others like it. I'm not sure how to start an investigation of this nature so I'm turning to your organization for guidance. Please feel free to contact me if you have any further questions.

The contact owns a 2015 Subaru Legacy. While driving various speeds, the glare from the sun reflected off the dashboard. The glare prevented the contact from seeing the road clearly. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or an independent mechanic to determine the cause of the failure. One year ago, the vehicle was taken to a&T Subaru (801 bethlehem pike, sellersville, pa 18960). The contact was informed that due to the finish of the faceplate on the dashboard, it caused the sun to reflect off the dashboard. The manufacturer was not contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 24,000.

Gas lid would not release after pulling the lever. This has happened mulitiple times prior without me realizing it was a problem because the second time I pulled the lever it would release - this last time it would not release even after multiple pulls - I had to push the gas door forward with the palm of my hand and then pry open
