Read complaints for SUBARU LEGACY (2018)
Purchased a new subaru legacy feb. 28, 2018.after only 70 miles the warning light for seat belts and airbag malfunction appeared on a starlink system and dash.after immediately taking it in at the local car dealer, service agents claimed that a "rodent" has caused the damage.after further research, we have discovered a national civil suit against subaru.apparently they are using biodegradable materials on the wiring of many new cars that attracts squirrels and mice.we have lived at our current residence for over 35 years with numerous cars in the driveway without this problem.consumer reports on july 10,2017, reported that they have uncovered various technical bulletins from ford, gm, honda, toyota, as well as subaru concerning this issue.dealer, at the moment, refuses to fix it without extensive cost to us.this is a serious problem with this car--driving it would not only be unsafe but illegal since the air bag as well as the seat belts show a malfunction. Fixing it may not solve the problem on permanent basis.
Car was parked and locked.keyless entry system allowed doors to be opened. Upon sitting in drivers seat, before any attempt to start car, a message on dash said "remote key deactivated".after that, nothing worked, no further messages, could not lock doors, could not start car, nothing functioned.finally had car towed to dealer, casey subaru, newport news, va.late next morning, dealer called to say car was ready for pickup.they could find no problem, both remote keys functioned well, no problem codes found.car operated well on my drive home, <5 miles.however, i have a real concern of getting stranded in future.
Ran out of gas on a flat highway, when the indicator said there were 30 miles left.gague went from 1/4 to 0 in less than 20 miles.
P014a error code. Started car and was about 1/8 mile away from home driving at 40 mph on country road, and all the lights came on the dash (check engine, eyesight off warning light, battery, oil, etc...). Immediately turned around and went home. My obdii scanner said p014a error. I reset the code. Called dealer to see if it was safe to drive and drop off (30 miles away) and they said yes. They then said if they cannot read the code they cannot do anything about it (because i resetit and it is not historically saved in the car). The code happed aug 17, 2020 has not appear again as of sept 22, 2020.i don't know if they are related, but i have been having very strange problems with the radio volume since then. I've rotated the heat dial and it's turned the radio volume up / down, started the car and the volume is at maximum (after quickly turned the volume to zero, turned it to one is accpetable and 2 is way too loud).
On the dashboard showed that the remain mileage was 70, but it stopped all the sudden due to no gas. I almost caused an accident because the car stopped on a public street with heavy traffic. After many times trying to start the car, it did not work; it was completely dead.i had to leave the car stranded to go and get gas to the nearest gas station.

This vehicle currently has about 55,000 miles on it. I recently had to replace the battery which seems premature for a vehicle just over three years old (at 48865 miles). I have recently been made aware that it is alleged that this subaru model is defective in such a way to precipitate early battery failure. I want my experience added to that of others. I have documentation of this battery replacement which i could supply upon request.
The contact owns a 2018 subaru legacy. The contact stated that nhtsa campaign number: 18v773000 (electrical system) exceeded a reasonable amount of time for repair. The contact received the recall notification in november of 2018. Prestige subaru (4271 e black horse pike, turnersville, nj) stated that the parts were not available for the repair. The manufacturer was not contacted. The contact stated that the fuel gauge displayed that the vehicle had 40 miles left. After the contact drove 10 mph, it ran out of fuel. Parts distribution disconnect.
My vehicle is having issues with the factory battery, the vehicle is having issues starting. The dealership is going to replace the battery, its less then three years old a d out of warranty by miles.
While exiting offhighway, the can unexpectedly shut off nearly causing a wreck. Car would not restart. The entertainment screen remained working the entire time. The instrument cluster went black and remained this way. Automatic windows, entertainment screen, radio all worked but car would not start. A similar issue had happened two weeks ago but we were not driving... The car would not start and a master subaru tech looked at car and they said nothing was wrong with it.. Obviously they were wrong. Very disappointed in subaru. This is a very dangerous issue.
The radio/navigation screen went blank. The rear view camera, navigation, stereo. Etc. No longer work. I took the car to the dealer today and was told the radio head needs replaced. Problem is they are on national back order and no one can say how long it will take to get it. This is a major safety issue because back up camera no longer works and cross traffic warning no longer works and the navigation no longer works.
My subaru starlink infotainment system has experienced 5 events of total blackout to the infotainment screen over the 9-month period since purchasing. This has resulted in loss of functionality to the phone, bluetooth, radio and backup camera capabilities. Safety was the number one reason why i chose this car (backup camera, lane departure assist, adaptive cruise control). To know that roughly 30% of all minor vehicle accidents occur due to backup-related issues, it scares me that my car is not protecting me from this potential risk. Not only is this a risk to basic safety principles, but it also makes my everyday travel chaotic and stressful. I drive for up to 2-3 hours at a time, and to have zero access to basic fm radio, siriusxm radio, bluetooth-connected podcasts / e-books makes focusing difficult. Additionally, with no bluetooth phone connection available, i am forced to hold my phone while driving, taking one of my hands off the wheel, and distracting me from focusing on driving. It's absurd to me that this issue has been raised by hundreds of subaru owners across multiple model vehicles, and it has not been addressed. If, god forbid, something was to happen to me or my wife while driving this car due to an issue that subaru knew about, i don't know what i would do. To make matters worse, i was just informed after 2 hours in the service waiting area that the subaru-issued software update will not fix the issue, and i have to come back in 2-3 weeks after the dealership receives a completely new radio display board system for install. When there is something safety-related at hand, and the company in question makes no escalated effort to expedite the solution, it heightens my concern with the company's commitment to safety. This situation is frustrating, yes; but more than anything, it questions whether or not i am best protected within the confines of a subaru.
Fuel level not properly indicatedsubaru"s letter indicated they did not know when or if there would be a fix to the problem
Ran out of gas on a flat highway, when the indicator said there were 30 miles left.gague went from 1/4 to 0 in less than 20 miles.
The contact stated they rented a 2018 subaru legacy. The contact stated that while driving the vehicle at an undisclosed speed, the collision avoidance system activated causing the vehicle to stop independently and the wheel to turn. As a result, the vehicle hit a curb. There was minor damage to the passenger side bumper. The vehicle was not taken to be diagnosed. The rental agency was not informed. Neither a dealer nor the manufacturer was contacted or made aware of the failure. The contact stated that the failure occurred three times. The approximate failure mileage was 20,000. The vin was not available.

The contact owns a 2018 subaru legacy. The contact stated that the vehicle consumed an excessive amount of oil while driving. The engine oil warning light was illuminated. The contact had taken the vehicle to budd baer subaru (71 murtland ave, washington, pa 15301) and subaru of moon township (5450 university blvd, moon twp, pa 15108) and was informed that similar vehicles were known to consume excessive amounts of oil. The vehicle was not repaired after multiple visits and performance tests. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 18,000.

While stopped at a red light as soon as the light turned green i proceeded to accelerate and heard a rattle and then a loud boom explosion sound. My torque converter, engine, and flexplate exploded causing it in operable and placed me in an unsafe location stranded on the roadway. Subaru of america has now had the car since thanksgiving this a major safety problem,i still don't have my car.

Driving to work early this am no vehicles in front of me and all of a sudden a hear a small pop and look over to notice my passenger side windshield has a crack in it.
Acceleration hesitates or stutters when slowly accelerating, like from a stop in a neighborhood. 2018 legacy 3.6r has done this since purchased in april 2019.
Fuel level not properly indicatedsubaru"s letter indicated they did not know when or if there would be a fix to the problem
On june 6, 2019, we took our car in for regular maintenance and to perform two outstanding recalls that involved "software reprogramming" -- one for the fuel gauge (which apparently may not properly reflect low gas levels) and one for the head unit (which may fail to initialize and activate the backup camera). We had _zero_ problems with the head unit (or fuel gauge to our knowledge) prior to the recall work.now the head unit fails to initialize for several minutes every few times we start our car -- the _exact_ issue that the recall was initiated to address.i am also concerned that the fuel gauge reprogramming may not have remedied that sensing error either.i contacted the manufacturer, which has instructed us to return to the same dealer to have them try to fix it again.we scheduled their next available appointment on july 3rd, but now have no confidence that the software reprogramming rolled out by subaru actually remedied the manufacturing defects.indeed, it appears to have introduced a defect into our head unit system.

After filing tank i took a drive...drove abt 30 miles to do some shopping then abt 2 hours later i drove the 30 miles back home with the fuel guage not moving....after several hours at home getting ready to go out for the evening i got into car..pressed the button and started car...notice that the fuel guage was at 3/4....when i parked it was above full...this happened several times during the month of june 2018 (purchased car new on may 26 2018) contacted dealership on july 3, 2018...they received it on july 7, 2018....after being at the dealer for 11 weeks the car was returned to me with a new cluster (dealer was aware the a recall was in the works for a premature empty tank when low fuel light cane on)..received car back on september 21, 2018 and on september 22, 2018 i once again experienced the same issue....drove home from dealership 21st went to work morning 22nd came home and got ready to go out...got into car with again a full tank when parked and now upon ignition it was a bit over 7/8 lower...the dte is and has been all over the place....dealership had never driven car so that was recently done....new sensors put in....took off from dealership 4-3-2019 with full tank...drove abt 49 miles and decided to top off tank to test miles/fuel consumption...now the guage remain in the same position as prior to adding fuel...also in the same 49 miles the dte dropped from 610 to 460....when i received vehicle back in september is when i started image documenting....without an accurate fuel guage it is impossible to feel safe on the road....subaru and dealership are aware of this issue with no solution...

Car was at a turning intersection. Car was completely stopped, foot was applied to brake with normal pressure. Within a few seconds, car started to progress forward, i lifted foot off brake and reapplied. The brake did not sense pressure, i put the car in park. These actions did not stop the car. Last effort attempt was to lift the emergency brake applied. This stopped the car. I turn off the engine and restarted the car.
At speeds above approximately 50 mph, the steering has suddenly, erratically and without warningpulled the car to the left or right as if hit by a large gust of wind (when there is no wind or passing truck). It is as if the steering is out of control for several seconds. The car has 3,000 miles and this has happened about 5-8 times.i notice there is also an identical complaint for 2018 subaru outbacks. This last happened today. This is a dangerous defect in the electric power steering.
The car veers right or left irradically as if a gust of wind pushed the car or large truck passed by.this is very troubling since it happens sporadically and has caused the car to drift off the road.
When vehicle goes over 50 miles an hour, pulls to the left.
Vehicle making a loud metallic rattling noise while driving between 25-45 mph. Subaru has made multiple attempts to locate and remedy the noise, but they have not successfully repaired the vehicle after more than 4 times. Concerned this could be a potential safety issue since the issue cannot be identified or repaired.
Multiple failures of the clear coat in under 2 years of ownership. Car is detailed at minimum twice yearly to to try mitigate the damage, but it is just too pronounced. Other models, years, etc do not have this problem.
While traveling on the interstate, the passenger side of the front windshield became damaged from unknown reasons after experiencing a slight dip in the road. A crack formed and expanded to over 12 inches in length quickly. Attached photo 20200829_164645 included as evidence. This is the second time this vehicle has experienced front windshield damage. It was replaced a little over a year ago with oem parts (carlex glass) through my insurance. Attached photo screenshot_202... As evidence. That incident occurred while driving on a highway and road debris struck the passenger edge of the front windshield. A crack formed and spread to the middle of the windshield. Due to having eyesight technology the front windshield is imperative to safety operations and needs to remain free from defects, since it can control a vehicle's acceleration, braking, and steering control system. I believe that the front windshield glass being used by subaru (carlex glass) is substandard and creating a dangerous condition for drivers who utilize this technology. If a windshield replacement is needed, recalibration of eyesight technology is required to ensure safety compliance. This additional procedure can dissuade owners due to time and cost; thereby, creating an additional safety predicament by having drivers operate imperfect vehicles. Research has indicated similar complaints from various individuals and multiple subaru models over a span of years. I implore you to investigate immediately!
Windshield chipped for no apparent reason. I heard this happened to many other people. Vehicle was stationary to my knowledge.
The fuel door sticks requiring it to be pried open in order to fuel the vehicle. Took it to the dealer. They know about this problem because they have a special tool to open the stuck fuel door. I had to fight to get them to replace the fuel door cable. I ended up contacting subaru of america to resolve this issue. I notified them when my vehicle had 35,000 miles on it but they refused to address it until 43,000 miles.
Sunroof glass exploded and shattered while driving. There was no car in front for potential rock damage.sunroof was covered so most of the glass was contained on the cover. The glass was bowed outward as if there may be too much stress forced up on the glass.
Went into phone store and when i came out the windshield had cracked for no apparent reason. It was parked outside, no traffic or anything else.
Parked the car went to work several hours later returned and the windshield was cracked middle driver side to the top.
I took the car to the dealer for the recall on the fuel gauge.supposedly the work was done. The website lists it as incomplete. I don't know what this means or what i should do about it.please advise.
The safety recall regarding fuel has been completed. I filled the gas tank with the gauge on half.i put 12 gallons in the 16 gallon tank.yesterday i repeated this by again filling the tank with the gauge reading half.i put 11.4 gallons in the 16 gallon tank.i also noted that the mpg calculator is now only using the data since the recall.tire pressure would not register.i am not sure if there are any other systems affected by this recall.i feel that they vehicle is unreliable.

Our recent purchase of a 2018 subaru legacy has left us with a very unhappy realization. We have a subaru outback and like the car but very unhappy with the cruise. We did not realize the cruise control advances 1 or 5 mph rather than the conventional cruise of 1 mph. We have found this feature to be not only on subaru but many other makes of vehicles. From researching online and talking to others have found we are not the only ones that do not like it and feel it is unsafe. There does not seem to be a reason to advance 5 mph rather than 1 mph. When using this type of cruise it is necessary to watch the speedometer, rather than paying attention to the road, to get to the anticipated speed and then quickly set and hope you locked-in the desired speed. If the desired speed is not reached the first time then it is pushing the cruise and holding it, hoping that it only advanced 1 mph rather than 5 mph, otherwise it is canceling and trying again. We contacted subaru about this and were told that if there are enough complaints they would consider a software update. It was also explained that we would not have purchased the vehicle if we were told this before the purchase of the car. We looked at the websites for the safest vehicles and subaru is at the top of the list but this type of cruise control takes away the safety; everyone is preaching to reduce distractions when driving but taking away the conventional cruise control and implementing such a distraction defeats the purpose.we hope this complaint leads back to vehicles having conventional cruise control as the standard equipment.

Although there were not any nicks in my windshield, while my car was parked overnight, the windshield developed a crack starting from the edge of the passenger side. The car was not moving and was parked in a driveway so damage could not have been caused by a rock. It appears to be a faulty windshield. There are less than 20,000 miles on the vehicle and it is less than 2 years old.
Windshield: the oem windshield cracks easily and manufacture will say not responsible because it's not a "defect", but they used inferior glass. Currently, i have over 6 cracks and every time the smallest item hits it, the windshield cracks. I've been with new car dealership for over 30years and owned many cars and never had a windshield crack so easily. Small rocks would hit my other cars and just bounce off, but not my 2018 subaru legacy, as i said at "least" 6 marks from anything hitting my windshield is currently available to see, yet no marks on my other vehicle, which is a gm product. Taking a picture is too hard to see "all" the small chips. I haven't replaced it yet, hoping a recall would happen, or someone wants to look at all the nicks, since i've owned it new from 2018. This happens driving slow, fast, anywhere a rock can fly.
Windshield chipped without leaving cracks and cannot be repaired.
A small crack emanating vertically on the passenger side on the very bottom of the screen beginning 1 month ago has spread horizontally towards the driver's side.
Front windshield developed a tiny crack while driving on highway, which then quickly propagated throughout the windshield.windshield was replaced at my expense.
Driving to work early this am no vehicles in front of me and all of a sudden a hear a small pop and look over to notice my passenger side windshield has a crack in it.
My windshield cracked spontaneously while i was driving and the crack quickly spread and became very large
I've had my legacy for 2 years and since owning it i've had to take the car in to get the window chips filled 4 different times. All 4 times the windshield chipped i was driving on the highway.
July 2019 we got a crack in our windshield between the eyesight cameras. We paid out of pocket to replace the windshield not understanding why it happened. But only several months after we had the windshield repaired in october, it cracked again in december. This time on the driver side inline with our view.
The drivers side mirror of 2018/2019 legacy's with blind spot detection will not adjust out far enough to see blind spot of vehicle for seat position adjusted for average to tall drivers. While the mirror detection light works there is no way to physically confirm side traffic position.dangerous, especially in congested multi-lane environments. It was determined that all mirrors at a dealership with blind spot dection has the same issue.this issue may exist for other years and models as well.vehicles using mirrors wiithout blind spot detection function adequately.
The subaru legacy windshield is extremely brittle, small salt debris caused the windshield to have several chips all over the windshield, in all my years i've never seen windshields being this brittle. There are thousands of complaints on subaru forums about windshields that have the eyesight equipped that they are prone to cracking and chipping easily. Recently subaru lost a lawsuit about their windshield cracking on the 2015 and 2016 subaru outbacks, i believe subaru has not addressed this issue yet.while i was driving on the highway on my way to vacaville california my windshield ended up with at least dozens of chips all over my windshield. This is unacceptable because i've made this trip countless amount of times on my old car and never had this issue.
On a colder 20 degree morning, i started my 2018 subaru legacy to warm up. Within a few minutes and before driving away, my windshield spontaneously cracked at the bottom near the wiper blade / defrost vents. The crack starts on the bottom drivers side, comes up about 3 inches, then runs across about 18 inches towards the passengers side, and then back down again.
