Consumer Description

THERE IS A COMMON KNOWN ISSUE WITH SUBARU'S THAT WHEN PUT INTO PARK AND TURNED OFF, THE KEY CANNOT BE REMOVED. THIS CAUSES THE CAR TO BE TURNED ON AND OFF, WHILE PUTTING INTO DRIVE, MOVING AND THEN BACK INTO PARK. WITH CHILDREN AROUND, THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND AN UNNECESSARY RISK. CURRENTY THIS IS ONLY COVERED UNDER STANDARD WARRANTY AND DISSUADING PEOPLE FROM REPAIRING. SUBARU'S ANSWER TO OUR INQUIRIES AT THE SHOP AND ONLINE IS THAT IT IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. THE SHOP SAID THEY SEE THIS COMMONLY. HTTPS://WWW.SUBARUFORESTER.ORG/VBULLETIN/F88/CANNOT-REMOVE-KEY-698170/ SUBARU NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS DESIGN FLAW BEFORE IT CAUSES SOMEONE HARM.
