On Thursday October 1st upon leaving work the dashboard and infotainment system glitched and rebooted while driving. I thought I was seeing things. I was stopping at a stop sign ad paying attention to the road. Everything seemed fine at that point. On October 3rd while driving approximately 45 MPH our 2026 Subaru Forester stalled and quit running without any warning or warning lights. Both the dashboard lights and the infotainment system went black then came back on. After restarting the…

This occurred in a brand new WRX with only 799 miles. I was driving on a very unpopulated road, and I had the high temperature warning display on the dash. The temperature gauge was reading high. I pulled over for a short duration to let the car cool down and then proceeded to limp it home since I was less than two miles away. I parked the car in the driveway, turned it off, exited the car, and noticed coolant leaking from the front of the bumper. I inspected what little amount of radiator that…

A recall repair (NHTSA Campaign: 19V701000) was previously performed on this vehicle to repair a defective occupancy sensor in the front passenger seat, which results in the passenger airbag being off even when the seat is occupied. Despite the work being done previously, the same problem has resurfaced, suggesting that the recall service was not performed correctly or was performed with parts that were still faulty. I contacted Subaru of America to alert them of this but they have refused…

I purchased this 2007 Subaru Outback for my daughter after checking Subaru's official recalls website. That site listed Takata recall WQR-53 as completed [XXX]. My independent Subaru-certified mechanic diagnosed code 72 on the passenger airbag circuit and referred me to Don K Subaru in Whitefish, noting that the master technician there had trained him on the recall procedure. Don K installed Subaru test harness P on that circuit. Code 72 cleared, and the technician's written conclusion was…

COMPONENTS: Suspension/alignment failed to maintain factory specs, destroying front inside tread. Vehicle/tires available for inspection. SAFETY RISK: Front tires worn to cords on inside edge, degrading traction and increasing blowout risk at highway speeds with family inside. America's Tire officially deemed vehicle unsafe. CONFIRMATION: Confirmed in writing by America's Tire (Store 1063, Order 5093420914) on 10/16/2026. Tech refused rotation due to severe inside wear, writing it could be due…

There’s two brackets that are at the top of the tailgate, and also at the top of the body where they meet to match up, The bracket on the right sits flush, the bracket on the left since indented about a 1/4” give or take. Because it’s painted by the factory, there’s no cracks around the bracket and the paint, meaning it happened at the factory. I’ve looked at other cars that are in that same model year bracket between 2018 and 2025, and they’re all variations of the Subaru Forrester. Didn’t…

I am requesting that NHTSA investigate the potential safety implications of Subaru of America’s decision to disable connected safety services for [XXX] residents. My 2026 Subaru Outback, purchased outside [XXX], where its connected services were available and functional. After relocating to [XXX] as part of a military family, I lost access to these services due to Subaru’s restrictions related to the state’s Right to Repair law. My primary concern is the potential loss of critical safety…

My company FANCY S owns this 2026 Subaru Ascent, purchased new on XXX from Subaru of Glendale. The vehicle is under Safety Recall 26V-436 (Subaru WRH-26) for an incorrect Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) on the certification label, a non-compliance with FMVSS No. 110. Subaru's interim letter in XXX said the corrective label is not yet available, and Subaru does not plan to mail remedy labels to owners until January 2027. Nearly three months have passed and there is still no remedy for our…

The vehicle has a documented history of chronic transmission system component failures, requiring a complete clutch assembly replacement early in its service history at 6,600 miles. Following a subsequent major transmission disassembly by an authorized retailer, the service department failed to…

Was notified by the dealer upon completion of an oil change, on May 20, 2026, that the driver side front daytime LED running light was not functioning. The light was not on. I am a faithful user of either turning on my headlights in the absence of DRL or using the factory DRL on the vehicle. The failure of one DRL compromises the safety effect of using DRL by 50% and jeopardizes the safety of the driver and others compared to two (2) operating fully functional DRL. There are no…
