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 contact owns a 2016 Subaru Legacy. The contact stated that the key failed to release from the ignition switch. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to schulte Subaru (7601 S Minnesota ave, sioux falls, sd 57108, (605) 275-4040), but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 60,000.
Wires and other components are made of soy based materials that attract rodents squirrels chipmunks and cats apparently and have been chewed; the harness was destroyed and potential damage to this and to power steering line, exhaust hoses and other wiring and parts with soy exist. The manufacturer states there is no remedy other than to replace with the same materials. We are concerned not only for financial reasons but particularly safety issues. When I turned on the engine in the morning every warning light on the dash was flashing including brake, transmission, oil, air, etc and I could not drive at all. I have spoken with others who have had accidents or car fires related to this situation.
In less than 36,000 miles it developed a grinding noise that can be felt above 50 mph. Dealer found a problem with the auto transmission. It will being replaced under warranty. Strange, I thought Subaru is known for better transmission. In the same car the cd player stopped working and making noise similar to what you hear when a cd is being ejected. Dealer changed it under warranty. I received a recall letter on dcm software in the car & I took car to the dealer. However, this recall is not listed on web. Why?
