This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The scratch on the glass is on both drivers side and passenger side. I was told it is from the inner door metal rubbing against the glass when windows go up and or down. The mark on the glass is about and inch wide and deep enough that it will not come off. The check engine light came on during the drive home from the lot. The cause according to the dealer was that the cam belt slipped off by one tooth. The rear wheel bearings are needing to be replaced under normal driving conditions. There is no abnormal wear and considering the low 53,000 miles - this should not need to be done. Car when cold idles rough, heat sheild rattles, dash lights in center console not working, extream corrosion under car effecting suspension and making noise when turning wheel right or left.
Check engine light went on - car drove without incident - light went out- light went on again, and car began to vibrate and make knocking sounds. Was taken to dealer, where they found wiring defective.
I received a letter from NHTSA dated 4/13/99 indicating that I had been granted approval for an air bag switch, but it had not yet been installed. Actually, I have not received such a letter, therefore, the switch has not bee installed. Upon contacting Subaru, they have no knowledge of a switch kit. Clearly, there is a lack of communication between owners, dealers and the NHTSA. I have tried, in vain, to contact you by telephone. However, the only thing I have been able to contact is the automated attendant, and when I request a "human" to talk to, I get disconnected. I'd appreciate a response by a human. Information request, no safety defect included.
Engine running very rough. Vehicle stalls out after going 20mph. Intermittent problem. Been to dealer 9 times for problem. Check engine comes on & only warning given.
