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.
I own a Subaru Outback and live in bemidji Minnesota--land of below zero winter temperatures. Today I was nailed in the head yet again by the tailgate door of my car. You see, the struts that support the tailgate door do not function when its really cold outside--like approaching 0 degrees Fahrenheit or lower. When temperatures are warmer--about 20 degrees above zero--the struts function as usual. But when it is extremely cold, the struts do not work and the door falls freely onto your head or whatever is in the way. This has been an ongoing issue with this car since I purchased it in July 2006. This is an obvious design defect that could lead to an injury.
