Started the car it was on park, the car accelerated to 5rpm in a matter of seconds engine sounded like an airplane, i shut the car and repeated the same procedure 3 times. called the dealer and had it towed there. the first time i complained was and took it to the dealer it was accelerating on high but they reprogammed it. was stationary on city street
My car stalled 3x yesterday, 1/21/2017 while driving. i was at a traffic light about to make a left turn when the car suddenly stalled
Please see the attachment for the whole story. thanks.
I purchased a 2017 subaru impreza limited on 7.30.17 from bob barker subaru in carlsbad, ca. the car, until yesterday, had approximately 500 miles on the odometer. on 8.9.17 at 1830 my son was driving the car and his friend was in the passenger seat. the car was struck on the left front side by a ford fusion entering the intersection after the signal had changed. the airbags deployed. what happened next is unbelieveable!! my son reports that the smell of smoke caused him to awaken and scramble, with his friend, from the passenger side door and reach safety before the car was completely engulfed in flames. i do not understand how a frontal collision on a side street can cause a car to burst into an inferno. please investigate this car's dangerous behavior in a rather ordinary collision. this incident did not result in loss of life or significant morbidity, but future drivers may not be so lucky. i would be happy to direct you to the towing company that has the car so you can investigate.
Eyesight disables it's self, radio volume stopped working, rearview camera disables it's self, car locked its self with engine running for 1 hour with both keys in my pocket while standing outside waiting for a tow truck. i purchased the 2017 subaru impreza sport on memorial day 2017. since my purchase the vehicle has been returned to the dealer three times to fix these issues. the last issue regarding the self locking happened on 07/13/17. subaru service department has addressed the previous concerns by stating and upgrading software updates to my vehicle but it seems like everytime the software gets updated a another issue comes up. my vehicle has a open case with subaru tech and is now under review for buy back/replacement. this is my f first and last subaru purchase. the consumer should not be subaru's guinea pigs for their vehicles.
I did a test drive of the subaru impreza 2017 premium wagon at a seattle-area dealership. i noticed that the car door did not lock completely or opened by itself while the car was in motion. i noticed that i am not the only one who sees this safety issue. there are others who have reported the same or similar problem on subaru owners forum. here are two links to review to see this issue being discussed: http://www.impreza5.com/forum/9-2017-impreza-general-discussion-forum/3281-impreza-door-closing-only-when-slammed.html http://www.impreza5.com/forum/138-5th-gen-impreza-issues-problems/2586-passenger-front-door-opens-itself.html i think this is a safety problem, because in my case the door was ajar or opened while i was on a freeway. this needs to be investigated and problem fixed before the problem manifests in either the driver, passenger or property being damaged.
The first problem i had, related to the airbag system, was when the temperature began to heat up in the summer. the was parked outside in the sun all day and when i was going to leave work, i turned on the car and it gave me an error code related to the airbag system, and the airbag error light turned on. i called the dealer (this was 2 months after buying he car - may 2017) they told me to bring it in. i took the car to the dealer, they were not able to find the problem, they asked me to leave the car a couple days. after 4 they call and they stated they were not able to reproduce the problem (the temperature had cooled down those day), so i took the car home. a month later in june when it started to get really hot, one day coming back from lunch the error pops up. without shutting the car down i took it to the dealer and they were able to read the error code - but they had no clue why it was coming up. computer did not show any issues. so i left the car there again, and after a week they call that the found the problem, a bad sensor in the airbag system - the bad news is that the part would take a couple weeks to arrive. they ended up having the car for about 23 days before they were able to fix it. after they replaced that sensor i have not seen the problem again. the second problem happened 2 days ago (september) - while running on the highway, 90 degree day, about 45 mph, i had the air conditioner on sunroof closed but the shade open. all of a sudden i hear this loud bang and shattered glass starts to fall on me and i see even more through the rear view mirror. the sunroof exploded outwards. there was nothing inside the car, and the glass shattered outwards. i took the car to the dealer, they stated they had never seen this but they were going to try to take care of it given this should not happen. they are still working on it.
We purchased a new impreza on 2/4/17, within days of bringing the car home we noticed that all the radio presets had been wiped out, and the xm radio had reverted back to a trial period. that same day we received an email saying that our car was sending a problem code for the starlink system. upon calling the dealership we spoke with a service adviser who owns the same car and she told us that she has all kinds of problems with the car software. including backup camera, screen freezing, losing radio presets, clock time changing. and she indicated that this was a know issue with the vehicle model and she had been dealing with it for 2 months. she told us that she had been told subaru had not idea how to fix it and maybe in may they might have it fixed. upon being transferred to the sales manager, he hold us that subaru had not put a stop sell order on the call so they kept selling them. we were never told about this defect prior to buying the car. recent calls with subaru have confirmed the problem, but nobody will call us back. we have put 3 miles on the car since we picked it up. we want to return the car to the dealership. we have been defrauded by subaru. this was a know defect! subaru customer service has confirmed that they have the issue. my starlink system which warns if in an accident, is sending out a problem code and it makes a loud noise when i try to connect. this is obviously related to the software issue. i am afraid to drive my car. we need your help in investigation this. other unsuspecting buyers are getting duped every day.
