  As I pulled up behind a car that was stopped at a stop sign, I took my foot off the gas pedal, and put it on the brake pedal. The moment i put my foot on the brake pedal, my car surged forward. I had a moment to think, and I confirmed that my foot was on the brake pedal, I had felt the brakes trying to resist the surge. I put the car into neutral, and it jerked to a stop. No one was hurt, I stopped the car in time, but I wondered if this had happened in other settings, what danger it would have posed. This has previously occurred rarely and intermittently when, starting out on some cold mornings, i shifted from reverse to neutral to drive, when backing out of my driveway in the morning.The car surged forward and I had to be quick on pressing the brake pedal hard to get it to stop before hitting a mailbox post. No warning lights went on, in any of these incidents. I called a Subaru dealer, who said there had been no recall history re this uninitiated surge behavior.

I WAITED FOR THE CAR. I WAS TOLD TO COME BACK AND LOOK AT THE WINDSHIELD IN THE SERVICE BAY. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS A CRACK (HORSESHOE SHAPED) AROUND THE CENTER TOP OF THE WINDSHIELD. THE CRACK WAS NOT THERE WHEN I BROUGHT IT IN BECAUSE I HAD THE CAR WASHED AND I WIPED OFF THE WINDOWS MYSELF PRIOR TO GOING UP TO THE DEALERS. I WOULD HAVE NOTICED THE CRACK. THERE IS NO DING OR STAR SHAPE MARK THAT I CAN SEE ON THE WINDOW. IT LOOKS TO ME LIKE THE CRACK STARTED ON THE INSIDE AROUND THE REAR VIEW MIRROR AREA.

  Short Block needs to be replaced ($6,500) Yes, Scenic Subaru has the vehicle awaiting status of repairs (who is paying for service) Yes, my safety is at risk as the oil light has come on during the night when I'm alone on a deserted road. Service Department knows what the problem is - they are seeing alot fot this problem. Unknown on Inspections Yes, warning 'low oil' light came on. The oil light kept coming on. All service and maintenance done by Subaru. Now, Subaru Service Department informed that the Short Block needs to be replaced. From my research, it seems that this is a common problem with newer Subaru engines because they use a liquid engine sealant at the factory and when oil sits on the seals when the engine is not running, the sealant degrades and begins to leak. They also said there was nothing we could have done to prevent this and reiterated just how common with Subaru's. Replacing the Short Block on a car with low mileage (<75,000 miles) should be paid for by Subaru as this is a known manufacturing issue. I should not have to pay for this repair. Also, Subaru said trade in value has dropped due to this issue. Please email or call me as soon as possible.

  THREE MONTHS INTO OWNING MY NEW SUBARU LEGACY, A SMALL PEBBLE HIT MY WINDSHIELD WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT A LOW SPEED, RESULTING IN A VISIBLE CHIP.

• 11/09/2022· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

  We have owned two 2015 Subaru Legacy sedans. Both of them have had major battery problems. We've had to have battery tenders (trickle-chargers) installed on both cars, and we're still having battery problems. We've been stuck in various parking lots, unable to start the car, and had to get jumps from others. This is a royal pain, and a potential safety hazard if we are stuck in a remote location. We've been told by our mechanic that this vehicle does not really "turn off" when you shut it down. There are several devices in the car which continue to have a "parasitic draw" on the battery, which it is not capable of sustaining. We've had the battery and charging system checked out multiple times, and everything checks out fine. Replacing the battery will NOT solve the problem. Replacing the battery with a deep-cycle battery will NOT solve the problem. It is an inherent defect in the electrical system of the vehicle. Available for inspection: YES Safety issue: being stranded with a dead battery in a dangerous location Confirmed by an independent service center: YES Inspected by anyone else: NO Warning lamps or messages: NO

I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE SUBARU DEALER FROM WHOM I PURCHASED EVERY SIX MONTH FOR OIL CHANGE AND ALL RECOMMENDED MILEAGE MAINTENANCE INSPECTION. DUE TO LOW MILEAGE, 26,433, COULD IT BE POSSIBLE THE WINDSHIELD MAY BE DEFECTIVE? THANKING YOU IN ADVANCE FOR A QUICK RESPONSE.&#128522;
