Hood released and blew open while doing 50 mph. After checking oil level, I closed and verified hood was latched, which it was. Driving about 2miles down road, hood blew up causing instant panic and stopping. After pulling over, I found that the hood would no longer latch. I had to use a hammer to bend the latch forward enough to have it latch again.

Gas cap doesn't open. I decided to buy this car last year because another Legacy car had the same repair showing on its carfax. And now I have the problem with this car. The rep said today that they had another car to repair for the same issue.

This car have very annoying wind noise coming from top of both side window (around B pillar) when speed over 40mph. And I went to dealer twice try to fix this issue, but they said tsb 12-185-15R can only apply to 15-16 year models, not for 17 year model. But this is exactly same problem on the exact same car.. this issue will cause distracted when driving in high speed!!!
