2016 Subaru Legacy complaints

My battery keeps dying. I just had to replace it for the second time this year. Used 2 brands, one from the dealership and the other Interstate. I had the alternator and starter checked but those are working. Something keeps killing my battery and would like it fixed. I have missed appointments and had my car towed having to pay over $600 to get it back.

Key kept randomly getting stuck in the ignition. The Subaru tech found that the Select Lever Assembly needed to be replaced.

Hello, I'm trying to send this email to make NHTSA that Subaru has been having an issue with the ignition key for years. I purchased my Subaru Legacy around 2015 and just now started getting issues with the ignition not letting me take out my keys after set as "parked". I noticed that I was not the only one with this issue and Subaru should be made responsible for this shifter malfunction and not the customers. It should be a recall since many cars are experiencing the same issue with different models. I have to play around with the shifter in order to release my keys whenever I set it on park. Hope that this message can get routed to the right department and find a solution for this ongoing issue for many customers. Thank you in advance.

Ignition key stuck in ignition. Cannot remove the key, risk of theft or child entering vehicle and turning vehicle on. Have not had it inspected, many forums online address same issue with Subaru vehicles. Subaru service bulletin 16-112-18R.

A 6-inch crack suddenly appeared in the lower driver's side area of the windshield starting from the very edge in the black area. It follows the exact pattern of multiple other windshield crack complaints in this model year. The windshield has already been replaced twice before out-of-pocket due to similar cracking.

I have had to frequently replace the battery in my car. My car is a 2016, and I’ve had to put four batteries in my car since I’ve owned it. I’ve also had the wire to the alternator get so hot that it melted down the wire and the alternator, required an expensive replacement of both parts.

Battery fully discharges when vehicle sits idle for more than 2 to 3 days. Car does not start. I changed the battery twice in 6 months time and have checked alternator which is okay. Subaru insists it's due to a 'non subaru' battery. The original battery that was exchanged was a subaru battery. The discharged battery has occurred multiple times in the course of 1 1/2 years. I have not taken the vehicle back in for this issue because they cannot solve the problem and charging me for service call.

Battery discharges very quickly and also isn't able to power up the vehicle on a cold day. The original battery on my vehicle (2016 model) was replaced a year (04/2018) before I purchased the vehicle as a CPO (June 2019), but on multiple occasions after purchase I had issues with starting up the vehicle and not having the battery charging despite having it run for 45 min or longer. I finally went to a dealership when in June 2021 since I wanted the battery replaced expecting that it would be covered under the 85 month pro-rated warranty for the battery replacement in 2018. However, I was asked to pay for the battery as the previous replacement was a "good will" according to the dealership and so was not eligible for a free replacement. Just from the history of the batteries in the vehicle, I'm not convinced of the reliability or the reserve capacity of the battery especially in cold conditions.

Battery drain after 2 years. Can be inspected. Not yet confirmed by independent sources or inspected by outside party. No warning lamps, notices, or cause for battery to drain (no lights on, all doors closed, etc). First happened one day ago, jumped the battery and quickly died again.

My 2016 Subaru Legacy has a battery issue. I've had to replace it three times. Basically once a year over the past few years. It just drains and is dead. It happens mostly in the winter but not always. Subaru didn't think it was their problem. It is dangerous here in Minnesota to have a untrustworthy electrical system. Recently I did have it brought to a non Subaru shop. It had a new battery so they couldn't seem to find the problem either. I, or could get records as to my past battery purchases if need be.

I HAD TO CHANGE MY BATTERY ALREADY AS IT WOULDN'T CHARGE OR START THE CAR. TWO FUSES HAVE BEEN REPLACED. ALSO WHILE DRIVING, THE COMPUTER DISPLAY SCREEN BLINKS, FREEZES OR HAS GONE BLANK. AT TIMES, I GET AN ALERT WHILE DRIVING THAT TELLS ME 2 OR 3 HOURS SINCE VEHICLE IGNITION. THESE EVENTS SEEM TO OCCUR ON LONG ROAD TRIPS WITH MULTIPLE SHORT STOPS FOR REFUELING. IF I STOP THE CAR AND KEEP IT OFF OF AROUND 15 MINUTES THEN RESTART THE CAR, THE SCREEN WILL BEGIN WORKING AGAIN. THE DATE ENTERED ON THIS CLAIM IS THE BATTERY CHANGE DATE.

BATTERY IS BEING DRAINED WHEN VEHICLE SITS. I HAVE REPLACED THE BATTERY 2 YEARS AGO AND IS NEEDING TO BE REPLACED AGAIN.

IN THE PROCESS OF TURNING OFF THE VEHICLE; THE CAR IS IN PARK, AND THE KEY INTERMITTENTLY GETS STUCK IN IGNITION.

I'M HAVING ISSUES WITH THE STEERING COLUMN AND GETTING THE KEY OUT. I'M NOT ABLE TO REMOVE THE KEY MOST DAYS. WAS THIS IN ANY PART OF ANY KNOWN RECALL? THANK YOU

THE CAR WAS STATIONARY AND OVER TIME RODENTS (MICE) CHEW ON THE ELECTRICAL WIRES HARNESS DUE TO THE ATTRACTION OF MANUFACTURING MATERIAL. MANUFACTURING MATERIAL IS A SOY BASE ELECTRICAL WRAPPING. BOTH OCCURRENCES HAPPENED AT THE SAME EXACT JUNCTION WHERE WIRING HOUSING IS ATTACHED TO THE ENGINE. EVIDENCE IS FIRST OCCURRENCE IN NOVEMBER 2021, SECOND OCCURRENCE APRIL 2021. ANTIDOTAL EVIDENCE IS THE SUBARU SERVICE DEPARTMENT EMPLOYEE STATED THAT THIS IS A USUAL OCCURRENCE FROM SUBARU CARS. BOTH REPAIRS IN LESS THAN FIVE MONTHS CHARGES ARE OVER $6000.

KEY GETS STUCK IN IGNITION. OFTEN WILL NOT RELEASE. HAPPENS WHEN PUT CAR INTO PARK UPON STOPPING.

DROVE ON A STRAIGHT STRETCH OF INTERSTATE AT 75 MPH IN A SUNNY AFTERNOON ON A 400 MILE TRIP WITH FUEL TANK BETWEEN 1/8 AND 1/4 FULL. THE ENGINE SUDDENLY LOST POWER. PRESSED THE GAS TO REV UP THE ENGINE BUT STILL NO POWER MOVING FORWARD. HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER AND STOPPED THE CAR. THAT WAS A PRETTY DANGEROUS SITUATION SINCE IT HAPPENED WITHOUT ANY WARNINGS. TRIED TO RESTART THE CAR BUT FAILED. THE STARTER TURNS BUT ENGINE WILL NOT START. ATTEMPTED SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE PERIOD OF 30 - 40 MINUTES TO NO AVAIL. HAD TO CALL A TOW TRUCK TO A SHOP NEAR BY. ONCE UNLOADED (ABOUT 2 HOURS LATER) FROM THE TRUCK, THE TECHNICIAN HOOKED ON INSTRUMENTS TO CHECK. THE ELECTRICALS (ALTERNATOR, BATTERY) WERE FINE. THEN RESTARTING THE ENGINE WORKED. SHORTLY AFTER, THE LOW FUEL WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. NOT CONFIDENT OF CONTINUING THE TRIP, STAYED IN THE TOWN OVERNIGHT. CHECKED THE INTERNET FORUMS THE NEXT DAY AND READ SIMILAR EXPERIENCES BY SOME SUBARU OWNERS AND REALIZED THAT IT COULD BE RELATED TO LOW-FUEL. WENT TO FILL UP THE GAS TANK AND WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE CLOSE TO 100 MILES TO DESTINATION WITHOUT PROBLEM. NOTED WHEN FILLING UP, THE TANK HAD AT LEAST 2.5 GAL OF FUEL LEFT WHEN THE INCIDENT HAPPENED. CAR HAS 65K ON THE METER. IT WAS BOUGHT NEW AND MAINTAINED ON-SCHEDULE. NO ACCIDENTS OR MODS.

I AM NOT ABLE TO REMOVE THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION WHEN AFTER I PARK MY CAR AND THIS HAPPEN EVERY OTHER DAY SINCE I STARTED TO HAVE THIS ISSUE.. I HAVE TO DRIVE UP AND DOWN AND CHANGE THE PARKING MODE TO DIFFERENT OTHER MODES USING THE GEAR STICK AND SWITCH IT BACK TO PARKING MODE IN ORDER TO RELEASE THE KEY. IT TAKES ME SEVERAL ATTEMPT S OF DOING THIS TO RELEASE THE KEY FROM IGNITION.

CHIP IN THE WINDSHIELD IN MY DIRECT LINE OF SIGHT, I AM NOT AWARE OF ANYTHING HITTING THE WINDSHIELD TO CAUSE IT. I PURCHASED VEHICLE USED ONLY 3 MONTHS AGO. WHEN I PURCHASED IT THE DEALERSHIP HAD MENTIONED THAT THEY HAD JUST REPLACED THE WINDSHIELD. SO THE NEW WINDSHIELD WAS ONLY 3 MONTHS OLD.

WHILE DRIVING, EXHAUST ODOR DETECTED IN CABIN CAUSING HEADACHES/NAUSEA AND EXHAUST BECAME MUCH LOUDER STARTING AT ROUGHLY 185,000 MILES. DISCOVERED SUBARU SERVICE PROGRAM BULLETIN WUJ-95 WHICH IDENTIFIES CRACKS FORMING IN THE BELLOWS SECTION OF THE FRONT EXHAUST PIPE AND ITS REPLACEMENT WITH AN UPDATED FRONT EXHAUST. CONTACTED SUBARU AND REQUESTED IT BE COVERED UNDER THE WUJ-95. THIS REQUEST WAS DENIED AS MY VEHICLE "ALREADY HAD THE UPDATED EXHAUST PIPE". PURCHASED AND INSTALLED THE KIT CALLED-OUT IN WUJ-95 MYSELF. UPON REMOVAL OF THE EXHAUST PIPE, I WAS ABLE TO CONFIRM VISUALLY THAT CRACKS HAD FORMED IN THE EXACT LOCATION IDENTIFIED IN WUJ-95. THE "UPDATED" EXHAUST PIPE THAT MY VEHICLE HAD FAILED. CONTACTED SUBARU SEVERAL MORE TIMES REQUESTING THIS BE COVERED . COVERAGE WAS DENIED. THE "UPDATED" EXHAUST PIPE IS NOT A TRUE FIX FOR THIS SAFETY ISSUE.*DT*JB

VEHICLE IS STOPPED, SHIFTED INTO PARK AND PARKING BRAKE IS ENGAGED. STEERING WHEEL IS STRAIGHT. KEY IS USED TO SHUT OFF ENGINE BUT WILL NOT MOVE INTO THE LOCK POSITION AND CAN NOT BE REMOVED. OCCURRING 50% OF THE TIME. RESTARTING ENGINE AND SHIFTING THROUGH REVERSE/NEUTRAL/DRIVE BACK TO PARK HAS EVENTUALLY ALLOWED KEY REMOVAL.

EXPERIENCED DIFFICULTY REMOVING KEY FROM IGNITION AFTER VEHICLE IS STOPPED AND ENGINE TURNED OFF. ISSUE RECURS FREQUENT BUT RANDOMLY. SOMETIMES IT REQUIRE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO RESTART AND SHUT-OFF ENGINE BEFORE KEY WOULD RELEASE FROM IGNITION. VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO DEALER FOR REPAIR AND FAULTY PART IN SHIFTER ASSEMBLY REPLACED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 SUBARU LEGACY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WINDSHIELD WAS CRACKED NEAR THE WINDSHIELD WIPER. CARTER SUBARU SHORELINE (17225 AURORA AVE N, SEATTLE, WA 98133; (206) 542-1166) WAS CONTACTED AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT UNDER RECALL. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND OPENED A CASE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 44,000.

THE CHILD SAFETY LOCK ON THE REAR PASSENGER'S SIDE WILL NOT DISENGAGE. IT HAPPENED SUDDENLY (UNKNOWN). YOU CAN'T OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE, BUT YOU CAN OPEN IT FROM THE OUTSIDE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE PASSENGERS COULD NOT GET OUT OF THE DOOR IF AN ACCIDENT WERE TO OCCUR. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY. THE ACTUATOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. AFTER SEARCHING ONLINE RECENTLY THERE ARE A NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE THIS ISSUE WITH THEIR SUBARU.

THE 2016 SUBARU LEGACY IGNITION KEEPS JAMMING THE KEY AFTER THE DRIVER HAS STOPPED THE VEHICLE AND PLACED IT IN PARK. THE KEY REMAINS JAMMED AND BECOMES DIFFICULT FOR THE DRIVER TO REMOVE. KEEP IN MIND THE TIRES ARE STRAIGHT WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PARKED AND THE KEY IS NOT BENT. THIS INCIDENT HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES THIS MONTH AND HAS NEVER OCCURRED PRIOR.

UNABLE TO REMOVE IGNITION KEY FROM STEERING COLUMN WITHOUT REPEATABLY SHIFTING CAR OUT OF AND BACK INTO PARK. DEALER CHARGES OVER $400 TO REPAIR A WELL KNOWN DEFECT WHICH WAS ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN IN MARCH 2018.

KEY DOES NOT COME OUT OF IGNITION AFTER PUTTING CAR IN PARK

WHEN THE CAR IS STATIONARY AND SHIFTED INTO PARK AND IGNITION TURNED OFF, THE KEY BECOMES STUCK IN THE ACCESSORY POSITION AND KEY IS NOT ABLE TO BE REMOVED. EXTERIOR LIGHTING AND INTERIOR ELECTRONICS REMAIN ON. SUBARU IS AWARE OF THIS SHIFT PLATE SENSOR MALFUNCTION IS PRESENT IN 2016 LEGACY AND 2017 FORRESTER MODELS, AS FAR AS I KNOW, BUT HAVE NOT RECALLED THEM. IN ORDER TO REMOVE KEY, THE VEHICLE MUST BE TURNED BACK ON AND THE GEAR SHIFT SLAMMED INTO PARK, USUALLY MULTIPLE TIMES, TO ALLOW FOR THE IGNITION TO BE FULLY TURNED OFF AND THE KEY TO BE REMOVED. ONCE IT STARTED, IT WILL NOT QUIT UNTIL THE SENSOR HAS BEEN REPLACED. THE BACKUP CAM WITH ALSO TURN ON WHILE NOT IN REVERSE, PRESUMABLY RELATED TO THE SHIFT PLATE SENSOR MALFUNCTION.

KEY GETS STUCK IN IGNITION AFTER PUTTING VEHICLE IN PARK. IT IS AN INTERMITTENT ISSUE BUT AS TIME PASSES IT HAPPENS MORE AND MORE. THERE WAS A SERVICE BULLETIN ISSUED IN 2018 REGARDING THIS BULLETIN #16-112-18R. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR OVER A YEAR AND A HALF. PER SUBARU OF AMERICA THEY ARE FULLY AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AS THEY GET A TON OF PHONE CALLS REGARDING THIS BUT HAVE NOT YET ISSUED A RECALL.

INTERMITTENTLY CANNOT REMOVE KEY FROM IGINITION. CANNOT FULLY CUT THE CAR OFF.

KEY INTERMITTENTLY GETS STUCK IN IGNITION WHEN CAR IS IN PARK AND ENGINE TURNED OFF (BUT ELECTRIC IS STILL ON SINCE KEY CANNOT BE TURNED TO "OFF"). IF LEFT UNRESOLVED, THE BATTERY WILL EVENTUALLY DIE. SUBARU HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THE ISSUE IN SERVICE BULLETIN 16-112-18R: "THIS BULLETIN ANNOUNCES A DESIGN CHANGE TO THE CVT SELECT LEVER (SHIFTER) MECHANISM IN RESPONSE TO ISOLATED CUSTOMER CONCERNS OF NOT BEING ABLE TO REMOVE THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION SWITCH WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN PARK. THE CAUSE IS CONTAMINATION OF THE PARK-RANGE SWITCH INTERNAL COMPONENTS." THIS IS A SERIOUS ENOUGH PROBLEM THAT IT REQUIRED A REDESIGN; THIS IS A SERIOUS ENOUGH PROBLEM THAT IT REQUIRES A RECALL.

AFTER PLACING VEHICLE IN PARK, ROUGHLY 30% OF TIMES THIS IS DONE, KEY CANNOT BE TURNED BACK FAR ENOUGH TO REMOVE IT. SO FAR THE ONLY WAY TO GET IT OUT IS TO RESTART CAR, SHIFT THROUGH ALL THE GEARS, AND PLACE IT BACK IN PARK. SOMETIMES THIS MUST BE DONE 2-3 TIMES. THIS STARTED HAPPENING AROUND 62,000 MILES. *TR

AM ABLE TO SHIFT INTO PARK AND TURN OFF THE IGNITION BUT NOT ABLE TO REMOVE KEY. IT TAKES SEVERAL TRIES TO SHIFT GEARS UNTIL ABLE TO TURN THE KEY TO RELEASE IT. THIS WAS HAPPENING FOR A WHILE AND STOPPED AND HAS STARTED DOING IT MORE CONSISTENTLY NOW. *TR

THE WINDSHIELD CRACKED ABOUT 1INCH FOR NO REASON, DRIVING OFF OF THE LOT AFTER PURCHASING MY USED SUBARU LEGACY. THE NEXT DAY, ANOTHER CRACK APPEARED WHILE DRIVING SLOW SPEEDS ON A FLAT ROADWAY. THE SECOND CRACK IS LOCATED IN A NEW LOCATION, AND SPANS ABOUT 2-2.5 FT'ABOUT 3/4 THE LENGTH OF THE ENTIRE WINDSHIELD. AFTER RESEARCHING, I CAME ACROSS A LAWSUIT CURRENTLY FILED AGAINST SUBARU AMERICA FOR THIS VERY ISSUE'EASILY CRACKED WINDSHIELDS FOR THESE YEARS AND MODELS. *TR

KEY CANNOT BE REMOVED FROM IGNITION AFTER PLACING CAR IN PARK. LITERALLY HAVE TO EITHER SLAM CAR INTO PARK OR START CAR AND IMMEDIATELY SHUT IT DOWN. PROBLEM STARTED RIGHT AFTER HITTING 60000 MILES.

WINDSHIELD CRACKED STARTING AT THE BOTTOM OF THE WINDSHIELD (IN THE MIDDLE) AND IT SPREAD WHILE BEING STATIONARY. GOT IT REPLACED BY SUBARU. A MONTH LATER THE NEW WINDSHIELD CRACKED IN THE SAME EXACT PLACE AND SPREAD WHILE STATIONARY. BOTH TIMES IT WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY.

THE SWITCH THAT THE KEY GOES INTO WILL NOT RELEASE THE KEY WHEN YOU PUT IT IN PARK. PLEASE MAKE THEM RECALL THIS AND FIX IT. THERE ARE SEVERAL PEOPLE ONLINE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS ISSUE.

KEY CAN NOT BE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION. IT DOES NOT HELP TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL TO UNLOCK IT. SHIFTING IN AND OUT OF DRIVE/NEUTRAL/PARK SEVERAL TIMES WILL EVENTUALLY UNLOCK IT. HAS BEEN HAPPENING INTERMITTENTLY FOR ABOUT 2 MONTHS AND HAPPENS NOW EVERY TIME.

THE KEY GETS STUCK IN THE IGNITION. PUT CAR IN PARK AND CAN NOT GET THE IGNITION CYLINDER TO TURN ALL THE BACK TO REMOVE THE KEY

ON 1-19-2020 I DROVE HOME FROM THE STORE, CAME TO A STOP IN MY PARKING SPOT AND WHEN I WENT TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK IT SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AS THOUGH I HAD HIT THE GAS. I QUICKLY HIT THE BRAKES 3 TIMES BUT GOT NO RESPONSE AND HIT MY FENCE BEFORE THE CAR CAME TO A STOP NONE OF MY SAFETY FEATURES (INCLUDING COLLISION AVOIDANCE) KICKED IN AND SUBARU SAID THERE WAS NO RECORD OF ANY MALFUNCTION AND THEY COULD NOT RECREATE THE INCIDENCE. FILED CLAIM WITH INSURANCE COMPANY AND GETTING FRONT DAMAGE REPAIRED, WONDER WHY THE COMPUTER DOES NOT SHOW THERE WAS A COLLISION...

IGNITIION KEY STUCK IN ACC AND WILL NOT COME OUT OF STEERING COLUMN

ON 2019-11-30 WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY, THE DRIVER HEARD A SUDDEN SOUND AND A CRACK APPEARED ON THE WINDSHIELD. THE CRACK APPEARED TO ORIGINATE FROM THE CENTER BOTTOM OF THE WINDSHIELD, RISE UPWARD ABOUT A FOOT, THEN TOWARD PASSENGER SIDE A FEW INCHES. OVER THE COURSE OF THE NEXT FEW DAYS THE CRACK BECAME LONGER TOWARD PASSENGER SIDE, WHILE PARKED OVERNIGHT. ON 2019-12-03 VEHICLE OWNER CALLED SOA TO NOTIFY THEM OF THE POTENTIAL DEFECT OCCURRENCE WITH THE WINDSHIELD, AND WAS PROVIDED A CASE NUMBER FOR WARRANTY CLAIM/DEFECT. VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO LOCAL SUBARU DEALER IN ZIP CODE 32609 FOR INSPECTION, AND TO HAVE THEM TAKE PICTURES TO BE SENT TO SOA FOR REVIEW, REFERENCING THE CASE NUMBER. DEALER SAID THEY THOUGHT THE CRACK WAS FROM AN IMPACT EVENT, AND RECOMMENDED A LOCAL BODY SHOP FOR OWNER TO PURCHASE A REPLACEMENT WINDSHIELD, AND EYESIGHT RECALIBRATION, AT OWNER COST. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BY THE RECOMMENDED BODY SHOP ON 2019-12-11, OWNER FILED CLAIM WITH THEIR VEHICLE INSURANCE. AS OF 2019-12-23, NO RESPONSE HAS BEEN RECEIVED BY VEHICLE OWNER FROM SOA ON THE CASE THAT WAS FILED. THE ATTACHED PHOTOS ARE OF THE CRACKED WINDSHIELD, NOTING THE CRACK PROGRESSION FROM 2019-11-30 TO 2019-12-03. THE WINDSHIELD IDENTIFIERS ARE IDENTICAL ON THE CRACKED AND REPLACEMENT WINDSHIELDS.

KEY WILL NOT REMOVE FROM IGNITION WHEN TURNING OFF CAR. PROGRESSIVELY GOT MORE FREQUENT. ONLY WAY TO REMOVE THE KEY IS TO MOVE THE CAR OR TO SHIFT BACK IN FORTH FROM PARK TO DRIVE.

KEY WILL NOT REMOVE FROM IGNITION WHEN TURNING OFF CAR. PROGRESSIVELY GOT MORE FREQUENT. ONLY WAY TO REMOVE THE KEY IS TO MOVE THE CAR OR TO SHIFT BACK IN FORTH FROM PARK TO DRIVE. PART HAD TO BE REPLACED

UNABLE TO REMOVE KEY FROM IGNITION WHEN VEHICLE IS IN PARK-ENGINE/CAR TURNS OFF EXCEPT RADIO/LIGHTS. HAVE TO RESTART CAR PUT INTO REVERSE, BACK INTO PARK, THEN TURN OFF CAR.

HAVING DIFFICULTY REMOVING KEY FROM IGNITION WHEN VEHICLE IS IN PARK - CAR WILL TURN OFF BUT CANNOT REMOVE THE KEY WITHOUT MUCH DIFFICULTY, RESTARTING JIGGLING WITH FORCE - FEAR OF KEY BREAKING IN IGNITION

2016 SUBARU LEGACY WILL NOT RELEASE KEY FROM IGNITION EVEN WHEN CAR IS IN PARK. WILL TAKE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS AND OFTEN REQUIRES FORCEFULLY PUTTING GEAR SHIFT IN PARK FOR THE KEY TO RELEASE FROM THE IGNITION. PROBLEM IS GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE AND SUBARU OF AMERICA IS CLAIMING NO RESPONSIBILITY.

STEERING WHEEL ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL FOR SPEED REGULATION DOES NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. WHEN PRESSING THE CONTROL TO INCREASE OR DECREASE SPEED, THERE IS NO RESPONSE OR "FOLLOW DISTANCE" INCREASES. BECAUSE SUBARU'S EYESIGHT AND ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL REPRESENT SIGNIFICANT SAFETY, ACCIDENT-PREVENTION ADVANCES, A MALFUNCTIONING STEERING WHEEL CONTROL REPRESENTS A REAL SAFETY HAZARD WHEN DRIVING.

FAILURE OF THE PARK-RANGE SWITCH RESULTING IN THE INABILITY TO REMOVE KEY FROM IGNITION WHEN SHIFTER IS IN THE PARK POSITION.

MY WINDSHIELD SPONTANEOUSLY DEVELOPED A CRACK WHILE PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY FOR A WEEK. NO DEBRIS WAS FOUND AROUND THE VEHICLE. LOOKS LIKE IT STARTED WITH THE TOP PASSENGER SIDE AND EXTENDED 1 FOOT DOWN AND 1.5 FEET ACROSS TO THE DRIVERS SIDE.
