2015 SUBARU IMPREZA Structurebody Problems

Hood flew open on interstate. After driving around town running errands I drove onto the interstate got like a mile down the road. I was in the left lane going about 60 mph the hood flew open. Smashing directly into the windshield. I thankfully was able to hit my four ways and get to a stop without any collision. I couldn’t say exactly when the hood had been opened last but certainly was not recent to this occurring. Quite severe damage was caused from this happening. Immediate estimate of damages were shown to the hood, fenders, roof, windshield and unknown damage as of yet under the hood or to the eyesight system.

When leaving a gas station with a slight dip in the pavement, I inched my vehicle forward as slowly as I could as to not “bottom out.” This 2015 Impreza model has an overall design flaw; it sits too low to the ground therefore compromising the entire structure of the body. The Impreza in fact bottomed out and my entire front end cracked and fell off as well as the side panel on the front of the vehicle came apart and now hangs off the vehicle. I have seen NUMEROUS Subaru Imprezas that appeared to be the same make and model with this same exact problem. I believe this entire car should be recalled as it is structurally flawed, cannot maneuver safely and properly on standard roads and highways which results in body damage that is completely NOT operator error.

SUNDAY MORNING, JUNE 21, 2015. RAINED OVERNIGHT AND WAS STILL RAINING MODERATELY HARD WHEN WE LEFT FOR OUR FIRST OVERNIGHT TRIP IN OUR NEW (1300 MILES) 2015 IMPREZA. ABOUT 1/4 MILE FROM OUR HOME, ON A PAVED, WELL TRAVELED STREET, TRAVELING SLIGHTLY UNDER THE POSTED 30 MPH SPEED LIMIT, WE RAN THRU SOME STANDING WATER ON THE ROAD. IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN A COUPLE OF INCHES DEEP. AFTER THE INITIAL WHOOSH, THERE WAS A CONTINUING ROAR, AS IF WATER WAS SPLASHING UP ON THE CAR UNDERSIDE. ALTHOUGH THE ROAD WAS WET THERE WAS NO REASON TO BELIEVE THIS WAS HAPPENING. AFTER ABOUT 300 YARDS OF THIS NOISE WE MADE A LEFT TURN INTO A SIDE STREET. THE NOISE IMMEDIATELY STOPPED AND WE CIRCLED AROUND AND PROCEEDED ON OUR TRIP. AFTER ABOUT 50 MILES OF INTERSTATE 65 MPH TRAVEL, WE BEGAN TO NOTICE THUMPING NOISES LIKE WE WERE RIDING ON AN...
