My car never was in accident, not driven to the mountains or harsh weather condition. Only 43000 miles. Has many issues with electrical, oil leak, steering wheel.after driving, on the short stop (drop off or pick up kids), in shifting to p position, the front right/left doors frequently not unlocked. Even with a manual unlock button to the driver left side panel. So, in the case of emergency, it may be a problem to get out from the front seat.in 2014 -2015 had already issue with front headlights that was replaced 3 times the same part, and 2 times was replaced the same break lights.2015 left side window the motor broke.subaru auto nation mazda garage charged $2,473 to replace both headgaskets leaking, timing cover. Steering wheel has a balance issue.i replaced battery.front tire tread is 0 nds, back 5 nds. And i can't replace just 2 front, i have to replace all tires at once.has very insufficient fuel usage. Additional storage space at the rear of driver seats is a manufacture defect. It was fixed in 2015 and ripped again in 2 weeks.

The contact owns a 2012 subaru tribeca. While parked, the front driver and passenger side doors failed to open from inside the vehicle. There was also an oil leak under the vehicle and the headlights and brake light bulbs were replaced several times. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed with an oil and head gasket leak. There was no diagnosis for the doors not being able to open and the frequent bulb outages. The vehicle was repaired for the oil and head gasket leak. The manufacturer was not notified of the failures. The failure mileage was approximately 30,000.

Vehicle had been on the highway for about 20 minutes when the transmission temperature light and other warning lights came on. Pulled off the highway and checked transmission fluid level and temp, all were normal. Pulled away and the engine reved up then banged into gear. Drove normally for several miles. The warning lights went off. Drove the next day and for several days with no incidence. Occurred again when on the highway the next week. On the subaru owners forum found several other owners with similar problems. They stated that the subaru dealers called it a known issue with the 5eat transmission. The vehicle only has 59,000 miles. Dealer solution is a $2000 valve body. Drives normally for short distances and at slower speeds.when the problem occurs no power is transmitted to the wheels. Unsafe situation.
