Bought a brand new 2019 forester in sept 2019. its windshield cracked twice from a minor rock impact during highway driving at about 65 mph. in my previous 25 year of owning and driving other cars i have never had a windshield crack and having windshield crack twice in such short period (5 months of ownership) cannot be a coincidence, there has to be a flaw with subaru's windshield design or quality. judging from the results of a google search, other owners have reported the same thing
The vehicle was stationary. i pressed the power rear gate open button on the driver side dash, but the rear gate didn't open, and the car just beeped three times. the beeps would happen every time i tried to press the gate button on the car or on the faub. i opened the access panel and manually opened the door, extending the door to full height. when i pressed the buttons on the car, the power gate would go down but would slam shut and the car would issue a long beep. when i pressed the button either on the car or the faub to reopen the rear gate, it wouldn't budge and the three beeps happened again. i then pressed the buttons on the car and held them passed the three beeps until the gate unlocked and i was able to lift it open. the gate closed again when i pressed the lock/gate close buttons, slamming shut as before with the long beep. no matter what i tried, i couldn't get the gate to open on its own ( with power). when i turned the car on, there was no indication that the rear gate ...
The eyesight has turned off several times recently and won't turn back on until i stop and restart car. i have had the car for 3.5 years and this has never happened before. there was no sunlight and very light mist this last time. there was nothing blocking the eyesight camera at all. this is not the safety feature that i paid extra for.

Loss of power. it feels like there is simply no throttle response. it has happened after turning into traffic from a stop sign or red light at low speed (< 40 mph) and merging onto a highway at high speed (> 60 mph). pressing the gas pedal just results in continued vehicle deceleration. the engine is still running but no response to throttle. after several cycles of backing off throttle and pressing, the engine will just suddenly start responding. sometimes the hill assist and abs lights on the dash will illuminate, sometimes not. there is never been a check engine light when it happens. it has happened several times. scary, especially on the highway.
As i was driving in the right hand lane on the florida turnpike at 75 mph, my driver side rear door window spontaneously shattered. the entire window disintegrated with most of the glass flying into the car. temperature was only about 75 degrees. nothing impacted the window - it just exploded.
The key keeps getting stuck in the ignition after you turn the car off.
My car losses power while i am driving. i merged into traffic on a two lane highway, and while my vehicle was across the north & south lanes, i lost power. luckily all traffic slowed or stopped until i was able to move my car. this has happened 3 times now, i have had it to my dealer twice and was given answers like brake problems. returning to the dealership 12/19/2019 for the third time, before i am killed, or cause a multi-car accident and other people to be injured. i have also reported this to consumer reports and subaru's main location. please notify me of anything else i can seek out as to not be killed or seriously injured in this car. thanks.
I parked my 2019 subaru touring trim car in my cousin's driveway on friday, nov 29, 2019. there was no damage to the windshield. i visited with him over lunch. i came back out to the car at about 3:00pm and on sitting in my driver's seat and looking out i immediately noticed a large crack in the windshield, starting from the glass edge under the trim, going up about 7 inches and then turning and going over about 7 more inches. i took it to the dealer on monday, december 2nd. they inspected the damage and said they had determined it wasn't something covered by warranty. windshields, properly manufactured and properly installed, don't just crack! integrity of the windshield is part of the crash protection for the vehicle so this is a safety hazard. disgusted, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).? *pm
Car stalled while driving, with no lights lit up on the dashboard. happened twice, once at 5 mph and again at 25 mph. the two times it happened were about three minutes apart this morning. then i drove three hours on the highway without a repeat of the issue. when it stalled, it felt like the wheels and engine became disconnected from the gas pedal. no engine revving was audible. it did not completely stop, but slowed to a crawl coasting totally on momentum, then started moving again on its own. this is what happened both times.
