problem #8

Legacy

  • 34,630 miles
The contact owns a 2015 Subaru Legacy. The contact made a right turn to turn into a parking lot, the vehicle accelerated and surged out of the parking space. The vehicle went over a concrete parking block, struck a guardrail, then crashed into the building behind it. Then the vehicle bounced back into the parking space. The air bags did not deploy. The contact was not injured. No police report was made. The vehicle was driven to a local mechanic. The vehicle was repaired (the contact didn't know what was damaged on their vehicle). The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed that they would send an official to the contact's home to inspect the vehicle. The failure mileage was 34,630.

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.

Takata recall. I received a notice of a class action lawsuit concerning takata airbags in Subaru. I must decide if I want to be part of this claim. At this time, my car has not been recalled. I want this takata airbag removed from my car! I purchased this 2015 car from the dealer (used) in 2016. Subaru knew they were selling a car with a defective airbag. Waiting to hear from dealer concerning recall/replacement.

Legacy

  • 32,000 miles
Slowly pulling into a parking spot, when the car accelerated (unintended acceleration) into a brick wall. My passenger suffered 3 broken ribs from the seat belt, and I suffered whiplash, bruising from seat belt, and bruised knees. The air bags did not deploy. Subaru Corp decided to do nothing, and suggested that I trade in the car, which I have only owned for a few weeks. Do they then sell it to some unsuspecting person. Please help.
