The child safety lock on the rear passenger's side will not disengage. It happened suddenly (unknown). You can't open the door from the inside, but you can open it from the outside. This is a safety issue because passengers could not get out of the door if an accident were to occur. The vehicle was stationary. The actuator needs to be replaced. After searching online recently there are a number of people who have this issue with their Subaru.

On 1-19-2020 I drove home from the store, came to a stop in my parking spot and when I went to put the car in park it suddenly accelerated as though I had hit the gas. I quickly hit the brakes 3 times but got no response and hit my fence before the car came to a stop none of my safety features (including collision avoidance) kicked in and Subaru said there was no record of any malfunction and they could not recreate the incidence. Filed claim with insurance company and getting front damage repaired, wonder why the computer does not show there was a collision...

Child safety lock on rear passenger door got stuck upon activation for the first time. Unable to unlock it. The door can only be opened manually from outside. Goodyear tires Eagle ls 2 225/50-18 are completely dry rotten. The ride is terrible and unsafe.

The driver's side of my front bumper was falling off. The dealer said a bracket had broken. Subaru would not replace the bumper under warranty, but the dealer did replace it free of charge. Now four months later, the passenger's side of the front bumper is falling off. This seems like a safety issue. I have not been hit and have not hit anything.
