AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY IN AN SIDE IMPACT ACCIDENT

Recall still has no fix over a year later

Headlight quality is deficient. There has been an active recall since August 2022 for this issue. That is 14 months, and yet my car's headlight issue has yet to resolved by Subaru. This is unacceptable.

In the middle of the night I attempted to make a left turn into a parking lot (with headlights on). I was unable to see the ground in the front/left portion of my car. It wasn't until I had almost completed the turn that my light was pointing towards the turn enough that I was able to see I turned a few feet early and was pointed at the curb. I ended up striking the curb with my front left tire and went up over the curb. This scratched/dettached part of my bumper, removed my left fog light cover, and bent the tow "eye" underneath the car. I've noticed while making right turns it can be difficult to see the ground right in front of that corner as well.

It has been over a year since a recall regarding the headlights was announced by Subaru with zero communication as to when the necessary fix would be made available. There has since been no communication other than telling everyone that if you do decide to buy aftermarket headlights and install that it would void your rights to the recall. We need this looked into before someone gets into an accident because of these faulty headlights. It is hard to see in dark conditions leaving drivers to use the bright lights while also could cause accidents as well. The headlights are simply not effective at all on low in dark or night conditions. Please help us by looking into this.

I brought my car into my family mechanic to get an inspection after I noticed severe shaking when breaking and a burnt rubber smell. They determined the left front caliper was hanging and needed to be replaced- the caliper is covered under my warranty, so I brought my car into the dealership - service department at dealership was UNABLE to detect the issue for weeks until I gave them detailed instructions on how to find the issue, once they agreed the caliper needed to be replaced, the part was backordered until late august - I got my car back after they changed the caliper and the issue is still happening after long drives- dealership is still UNALBE to detect the issue - I am being told after market brakes are the issue

This is my first car and im completely disappointed I purchased it bc of safety. My car battery keeps dying I purchased my car in 2019 and since then i have changed it 4 times. I keep taking it to the dealer and telling them is a parasitic drainage and nothing yet. On top of that the recall for the headlights over a year and nothing. Im never buying a subaru again!

While driving on Sept 11 on I95 a pebble flew up off the roadway and hit my windshield on the left hand side (driver's side) and it immediately began to crack horizontally and went to the middle of the car. If the car is outside in sun/heat the windshield keeps cracking further across the windshield and is now reaching the passenger side of the car. This is a real safety issue. Called glass repair company and the first appointment they could provide was not until Sept 19th.

Low speed throttle application vehicle fails to respond. Does not happen all the time. A near collision almost happened while making a left hand turn with oncoming traffic. Has been happening repeatedly, usually within a parking lot.

Windshield cowl continues to buckle from Windshield causing a gap where water can get to engine compartment. Have had it replaced twice now with no resolution. Being that I live in a state with very cold winters if water gets under the gap and then freezes it could potentially Crack Windshield. This needs to be addressed.

Subaru Safety Recall WRG-22 (NHTSA ID 22V-624) regarding inadequate front halogen headlamp lighting went out October 2022. This critical recall remains unresolved approaching 9 months now. No excuse for this. Why is this still unrevolved?

The manufacturer has a recall for front headlights not being bright enough and causing a danger to drivers. I no longer feel safe driving my vehicle at night as i cannot see the roadway nor other vehicles can see me. Its been almost a year and it’s taking a long time to remedy the recall. Please help!

The front headlights have been on recall for some time now. When I last contacted the dealership they said they wouldn't fulfill the repair and also said that they would no longer be making parts for the car and may not ever fix the headlights but I waited to see if that wasn't the case. You can check the date the recall was first made officially compared to today to see the timeline.

A spontaneous crack appeared in the windshield running from the bottom left, near the deicer, into the middle (when looking at the car from the outside). No accident was involved; it just appeared in the morning. Subaru is saying this isn't covered under warranty. There was a class action lawsuit for similar problems in other models manufactured in the same year, but it was settled with only Outback and Legacys included: https://www.windshields.settlementclass.com/

I have received two letters over the past six months, telling me that my 2019 Subaru Impreza has been recalled for faulty headlamps. When I contact my local Subaru dealer, SC, I have three times now been told that the part for the required repair is "not available." I feel as if I am driving a vehicle that is dangerous to me and to others. Can you tell me when the required parts will be available for the needed repair?

Left side light is very dim, very unsafe to use at night time. We cannot drive it at night.

Both front headlights provide very little visibility and do not shine far enough down the road to be safe at high speeds, especially in the mountains/low light areas. Have been waiting on a remedy from Subaru since being notified of the recall in October 2022.

The front headlamps on this vehicle are not bright enough and it is very hard to see when driving in areas that do not have street lights. Additionally, when it is raining hard, there are lots of puddles on the floor, making it even harder to see when there are obstructions or potholes in the road. I worry about getting into an accident because of low visibility caused by the defective headlamps. I called my local Subaru dealership today (2/22/23) and I asked whether I could fix the problem and then get reimbursed. I was advised not to do that and to let Subaru handle the issue. However, it has been over 5 months since this recall notice was sent out and there still hasn't been any remedy or even an explanation as to why the remedy is taking so long, or when a remedy can even be expected. Being that this is a safety recall that can cause serious accidents on the road, I need your assistance in urging Subaru to take this more seriously and provide a remedy to this ASAP.

While slowly pulling into a parking slot in a Wal-Mart parking lot, the car experienced an abrupt acceleration causing it to lurch forward at full throttle and it struck a parked vehicle in the next space. The accelerator pedal was not depressed. Upon investigation I discovered that there have been many reported incidents of this behavior with Subaru Imprezas, Foresters, Outbacks and Legacy sedans, engendering at least two lawsuits.
