Problems with 2010 Subaru Outback STRUCTURE

My subaru outback sunroof has leaked since the very first winter. toxic mold built up in the headliner, on the seatbelts and in other areas. my wife was so sick at one point she was coughing so hard she threw up in our driveway after she got out of the car. she was sick for years and we didn't know what it was. a quick search on the internet yielded other subaru owners with sunroof leaks and i believe that it is related to the design. the problem remains unresolved and it is unsafe for my wife to drive the vehicle. mold report attached. not only is the mold a safety issue, but you would not want to be in on coming traffic with my wife hacking and coughing.

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 subaru outback. the contact stated that while driving at 30 mph, there was an abnormal vibration in the front of the vehicle. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic to be inspected. the contact was informed that the rear section of front sub-frame was severely corroded. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 80,000.

Tried to open driver's side door to exit car after parking. handle made a somewhat different sound than usual, and failed to open latch. locking/unlocking and multiple attempts to operate inside door handle were unsuccessful in opening the door. with difficulty, i was able to move into passenger side of front seat by climbing over the console and was able to exit the care. while this was not an emergency, had it occurred during an emergency, the driver likely would have been trapped for several minutes. i took it in for a repair today, and subaru dealer can't get the part (cable running between inside door handle and latch) for 3-4 days. told it was not covered by warranty. wondered if it might be related to the 2010 tribeca door latch problem which prompted a recall. *tr

First noticed in the spring of 2013, one of the safety hand-holds in the back seat popped out of its socket as someone was riding in the car. this happened several times. six months later, the safety hand-hold in the front passenger side popped out as well, when a rider was using it. i noticed that the safety hand-holds can be easily popped in and out without much force. since this is a safety feature, it seems that they should be more securely fastened. *tr

I purchased a 2010 subaru outback from ira subaru in danvers, ma in january, 2010. several weeks ago, i discovered the frame around the engine was rusted. this car is brand new. i recently brought this to the attention of ira subaru. they said it's fine, and it just needs to be treated with a special spray, and that's all they did. is this safe? why was my 2010 subaru already rusting? the cars that wcvb tv in boston highlighted last night all seemed to be japanese. please advise. my car has just 3,800 miles on it. thank you. *tr
