2015 Subaru Impreza

THERE WAS A LARGE POTHOLES ON THE ENTRANCE INTO FREEWAY 280 ON GENEVA AVENUE, THE SPOT WAS LOCATED AT THE MERGING LINE POINT. WHEN I WAS DRIVING ON 19JAN18, MY VEHICLE RAN DIRECTLY THROUGH THIS POTHOLES, AND THERE WAS A HUGE SOUND FROM MY RIGHT FRONT WHEEL HITTING THE EDGE OF THE POTHOLES. AFTER I STOPPED MY VEHICLE, I FOUND OUT THE TIE THAT HIT THE HOLE WAS DAMAGE, AND IT WILL BE REALLY HAVING A TIRE BURST ON THE ROAD IF I KEEP DRIVING LIKE THIS. I WILL UPLOAD THE PICTURE OF MY DAMAGED TIE, THAT IS THE REASON I FILE THIS COMPLAINT. PLEASE COMPENSATE MY LOST BECAUSE THERE WAS NOT MY MISTAKE. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

FRONT OVERHEAD INTERIOR LIGHT WOULD NOT TURN OFF. IT WAS AT NIGHT, I WAS VISITING, I CALLED SUBARU FOR HELP. RESPONSE ; CALL BACK TOMORROW. I PRIED THE PLASTIC COVER OFF AND TOOK OUT THE BULB. DEALERSHIP RESPONSE WAS ' LEAVE IT ON, THE NEXT MORNING WHEN THE BATTERY IS DEAD, CALL OUR ROAD SIDE SERVICE AND WE WILL CHARGE YOUR BATTERY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 SUBARU IMPREZA. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AUTOBARN SUBARU OF COUNTRYSIDE IN COUNTRYSIDE, ILLINOIS. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION'S WIRING HARNESS MAY HAVE BEEN AFFECTED, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE FULLY DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,520. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE PASSENGER AIR BAG SENSOR FAILS TO PROPERLY IDENTIFY A HUMAN IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. MORE THAN HALF THE TIME SOMEONE IS SITTING IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT, THE PASSENGER AIR BAG IS NOT ACTIVATED. THIS HAPPENS BOTH WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, STATIONARY, AND ON IN STREET TYPES OR STREET CONDITIONS. THE AIR BAG ALSO FREQUENTLY ACTIVATES WHEN NO ONE IS SITTING IN THE SEAT. THE PASSENGER AIR BAG SENSOR IS DANGEROUSLY BADLY DESIGNED. IT USES A CAPACITANCE SENSOR TO DETERMINE IF AN OBJECT WITH A SIMILAR CAPACITANCE TO A HUMAN IS IN THE SEAT. HOWEVER, THE CAPACITANCE OF A HUMAN CHANGES DRAMATICALLY DEPENDING ON THE COMPOSITION OF THAT PERSON'S BODY, THE CLOTHES THAT PERSON IS WEARING, IF THEY ARE HOLDING AN ELECTRONIC DEVICE, OR TOUCHING SOME PART OF THE VEHICLE THAT WOULD GROUND THEM. THE TRADITIONAL WEIGHT SENSORS USED IN ALMOST ALL OTHER VEHICLES ARE A TIME-TESTED AND ROBUST DESIGN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 SUBARU IMPREZA. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE SUN ROOF SUDDENLY EXPLODED WITHOUT WARNING. THE GLASS SHATTERED AND FELL INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT WAS NOT INJURED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SUN ROOF BLOCKED THE WINDSHIELD, WHICH MADE IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT FOR THE CONTACT TO SEE THE ROADWAY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTO BODY SHOP, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 38,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 SUBARU IMPREZA. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE FRONT HOOD FLEW UP WITHOUT WARNING. THE HOOD WAS PUSHED BACK DOWN AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE HOOD MIGHT NOT BE CLOSED PROPERLY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 13,800.

SOON AFTER DELIVERY, THERE WAS A NOTICEABLE LAG ( 2-20 SECONDS) BETWEEN THE TIME THE ACCELERATOR WAS DEPRESSED AND WHEN THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED. AT TIMES THIS LEAD TO DANGEROUS SITUATIONS. DEALER SAID THERE WAS NO PROBLEM. THE ACCELERATOR MODULE WAS REPLACED ( NOT AT DEALER) AND THERE WERE NO PROBLEMS FOR A TIME, NOW THE SAME LAG HAS BEGUN TO OCCUR AT RANDOM TIMES, ESPECIALLY AFTER SLOWING TO LESS THAN 20 MILES PER HOUR. NOTE:-- THIS IS A PROBLEM FOR ONE OF TWO DRIVERS OF THE CAR. APPARENTLY THE POSITION OF THE DRIVER'S FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR MAKES THE DIFFERENCE. NEVER HAS THIS DRIVER HAD A SIMILAR PROBLEM IN MORE THAN 50 YEARS OF DRIVING ALL TYPES OF VEHICLES ( THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM, NOT A SINGLE OR ISOLATED EVENT.)

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 SUBARU IMPREZA. WHILE DRIVING, THE PASSENGER PRESENCE SENSOR MALFUNCTIONED CONSTANTLY. THE PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF LIGHT ILLUMINATED WHILE A PASSENGER WAS PRESENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED AND REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 19,000.
