A pebble hit the windshield while driving on the interstate highway which creating a roughly 12 inch crack starting in the upper passenger-side of the windshield. Within 24 hours, that crack has increased in length, now extending to the middle of the windshield. This has not been assessed by any repair facilities.
I was driving done a busy street in downtown gardnerville, nv when toxic fumes were emitted into my car making my eyes water and feeling of disorientation. Luckily I was able to pull over quickly. Initially I did not know what was wrong but when I completed the errand I stopped for I realized my air conditioning was not working. I took this into my mechanic who advised my of all the parts that needed replacing. I am still waiting on a part and in the meantime I have a visual of what happened. The air conditioning dial is a burnt out mess until the final repair can be accomplished. If this happened in a location where I could not stop quickly this may have resulted in a serious accident. I have requested the mechanic to keep all the part affected in the event they are needed.
Your site does not respond quickly to entering in the VIN number - it just sits there - does not respond to data being entered also, it appears to have a weird date (17/17) what is that supposed to mean" 👎does anyone review this stuff???"
Have had numbeous repairs starting at 50000 miles. Heater blower unit went out at around 50000 - was actually melted according to mechanic. Starter went out at 90000. Was not getting enough power to starter. Drove it the next day after the $1000 repair and it's smells like something is burning. The vechicle does not seem to be getting enough power to vital parts and are overheating and melting. I have paid over $6000 in repairs and it keeps getting worse. I'm afraid to drive it for fear the vehicle will catch on fire. It was actually smoking the day after we replace the starter and smelled like something was burning. The vehicle has less than 100000 miles and has constantly had problems since 50000 miles.

The gas guage innaccurately describes how much gas is left in the tank. I filled my tank from 40 miles two weeks ago. I paid $32 for the gas and it only read 170 miles till empty unlike the usual 300 miles. 5 hours later, when it corrected itself, returning to 300 miles. This week, upon filling my car up at 40 miles till empty, I paid $28. My car read 280 miles till empty and then shot up to 300 miles half an hour later. I feel unsafe to let my car go long periods of time without filling with gas. I called my local Subaru dealership and they wanted me to wait almost 3 weeks to bring my car in, even when stated that I heard of this happening previously with other 2011-2016 Subaru Imprezas. Their response was less than comforting "claiming" they have had no prior knowledge or trends of this happening with my generation Impreza, only the newer model Imprezas and crosstreks.
Driving 65 mph (temperature 34 degrees, no heat on in car) early Sunday am 12/4 (no other vehicles in front of me) and my sunroof glass exploded. Dealer is trying to tell me it was from a rock or other particle item (seriously... no one was in front me). The noise sounded like a gunshot and I immediately pulled over. I have 5 total pictures but the system isn't allowing me to attach more.
