problem #1

Aug 012004

Legacy 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 1,500 miles
Shortly after buying the vehicle sunroof shattered. The sunroof was open and loudly cracked as if in an explosion. Took vehicle to Subaru dealership and they insisted a rock must have struck vehicle. After insisting this was not so owner agreed to pay for replacement. Currently, a year and a half later this happened again without any foreign object striking the sunroof, and no evidence of any kind. The second time this happened without notice and was closed when the crack was discovered. Vehicle currently awaiting repairs. Consumer felt this sun roof was defective with some sort of undue stress.
