Takata recall
My wife was driving the car and suddenly smelledsmoke so she pulled over and noticed that the car was on fire and it was coming from the back passenger door. Luckily two guys driving buy stopped and happen to work for honda and they put out the fire with an extinguisherthen the police and toe truck came and took the car away. The rear passenger door was completely ruined as well as my 2 kids car seats and the whole interior in the car from the fire and extinguisher as well as other interior of the car that was affected. Progressive insurance came to check the car since subaru of america didn't want to take blame without the insurance coming and placing the blame on them first this is definitely subarus fault and the car must have faulty wiring or a defect that needs to be recalled.
While rounding a left hand turn at approximately 15- 20mph, the passenger lowered the passenger door window using the power window switch-the door flew open , but was caught by the passenger grabbing the door , preventing it from hitting a telephone pole next to the roadway.the vehicle was then stopped and the driver exited vehicle and went to passenger side and attempted to close door, which would not latch and stay closed.after cycling the electric lock switch and then cycling the lock lever manually, the door closed and stayed shut.upon arrival home to park car, passenger door would not open.driver then cycled window closed and door lock released and door could be opened and closed.we have not received any recall notices from either the selling dealer or the manufacturer.
Dropped off car for 45k mile service and while rotating the tires was warned that the front brake rotors were severely worn and rusted and pads worn at 95%. They recommended replacement because if the rotors were to be cut, they would fall below acceptable safety tolerance. As such, they were replaced and though we had the 7yr/70k mile "gold plus" extended warranty, the rotors were not covered (of course) under the extended warranty. The tribeca is our first subaru however, not our first new car. We have a jeep grand cherokee with 98k miles and has the original front rotors as did our honda cr-v, chevy blazer and ford explorer. All had original front rotors well into their respective 90-110k miles. Good thing that the service tech caught the premature rust on the rotors as they both appeared to be close to separating from the carriers. My wife is beginning to have trust issues with the car now.
