What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? Door Pillar Rust, yes its available for inspection. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? UNKNOWN Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Contacted Subaru of America Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? Not yet Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear?no. Both front doors have rust perforating from the inside. As you can see in the attached pictures, this is not surface rust nor an issue caused by my actions. After researching online, I found numerous similar issues reported not only with Legacy models but also with Imprezas, Outbacks, and Foresters.
My car's belt had been screeching for a few weeks. I was planning on taking my car in the next day. When i turned my car off, all the electrical went out and it started smoking on the driver's side. I got my car towed to the nearest auto shop. They replaced the battery and belt and yet the electrical was still out. When they tested the fuse, the driver's mirror caught on fire and was smoking. Thank goodness I was not driving when this occurred as that could have been scary. They replaced the fuse, but now I can't auto up / down my window. When I reached out to Subaru, they wanted $200 just to inspect it and $1,000 for a mirror replacement. I told them the situation and they didn't care. I also emailed them and never received a response. I googled this issue and other Subaru...
MULTIPLE FAILURES OF THE CLEAR COAT IN UNDER 2 YEARS OF OWNERSHIP. CAR IS DETAILED AT MINIMUM TWICE YEARLY TO TO TRY MITIGATE THE DAMAGE, BUT IT IS JUST TOO PRONOUNCED. OTHER MODELS, YEARS, ETC DO NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM.
VEHICLE MAKING A LOUD METALLIC RATTLING NOISE WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 25-45 MPH. SUBARU HAS MADE MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO LOCATE AND REMEDY THE NOISE, BUT THEY HAVE NOT SUCCESSFULLY REPAIRED THE VEHICLE AFTER MORE THAN 4 TIMES. CONCERNED THIS COULD BE A POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE SINCE THE ISSUE CANNOT BE IDENTIFIED OR REPAIRED.
