MY 2009 SUBARU LEGACY'S DASHBOARD IS COMPLETELY MELTED. NOW IT IS A GLOSSY SOFT MATERIAL AND EVERY TIME THE SUN GLARES FROM THE FRONT, IT MAKES IT DIFFICULT FOR ME TO SEE OUT OF THE WINDOW.

AFTER BEING PARKED FOR SEVERAL HOURS, WE GOT IN THE CAR AND WERE DRIVING ON SIDE STREETS, WE HAD JUST TURNED ONTO A HIGHWAY AND WERE PICKING UP SPEED (ABOUT 30-40MPH) WHEN THE HOOD FLEW UP AND SMASHED THE WINDSHIELD. WE WERE ABLE TO PULL THE CAR OVER AND GET ASSISTANCE. FORTUNATELY, NO ONE WAS HURT.

I WAS DRIVING ON A LOCAL HIGHWAY AT AROUND 55 MPH WHICH IS JUST UNDER THE POSTED 65 MPH LIMIT. SUDDENLY THE HOOD OPENS AND SLAMS INTO THE WINDSHIELD. IT SCARED THE HECK OUT OF ME, BUT I WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL AND PULL OVER DESPITE THE SURROUNDING TRAFFIC. IT COULD HAVE BEEN A LOT WORSE. ONCE SAFELY ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, I SAT FOR A FEW MINUTES BEFORE GETTING OUT SINCE I WAS SHAKEN A BIT. I THEN CHECKED ON THE DAMAGE. THE WINDSHIELD CRACKED IN SEVERAL PLACES AND THE HOOD SUSTAINED MULTIPLE DENTS. I WAS ABLE TO RE-LATCH THE HOOD AND DROVE HOME SLOWLY FOR FEAR THAT IT MIGHT HAPPEN AGAIN. I CONTACTED SUBARU CUSTOMER SERVICE TO INFORM OF THE INCIDENT AND INQUIRE IF THERE WAS ANY TYPE OF RECALL OR REPORT ON HOODS RELEASING WHILE DRIVING. THE REP STATED THERE WERE NO RECALLS OR REPORTS AT THAT TIME. I HAD ALREADY MADE AN APPOINTMENT AT MY LOCAL SUBARU DEALER FOR BRAKE LIE CORROSION AND COMPUTER SYSTEM RECALLS. THE REP SUGGESTED THAT I MENTION THIS TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND HAVE THEM CHECK ON THE HOOD LATCH. IF IT IS DETERMINED TO BE A FACTORY DEFECT, THEN SUBARU MAY BE ABLE TO MAKE THE REPAIRS. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF ANYONE OUT THERE HAS EXPERIENCED A SIMILAR MISHAP WHETHER AN OLDER OR NEWER MODEL. THIS IS A REAL CONCERN SINCE IT COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR WORSE. *TR

OPENED DRIVER SIDE DOOR ONE NIGHT AND AS I WAS PULLING DOOR OPEN I WAS TALKING TO SOMEONE WHO WAS OUTSIDE OF THE CAR AND HIT MY NECK ON THE WINDOW SINCE IT HAS NO FRAME. IT WAS DARK, COULDN'T SEE THE CLEAR GLASS AND NEVER GAVE IT A THOUGHT. THE WINDOW CAUGHT MY NECK AT AN ANGLE EXACTLY WHERE I HAD SURGERY IN '07. IT HURT AND SCARED ME A LOT AND I THOUGHT IT DID SOMETHING TO MY THROAT. THANK GOODNESS IT DIDN'T. IF IT HAPPENED JUST AFTER MY SURGERY, IT COULD HAVE RIPPED MY NECK OPEN. I HAVE NEVER HAD A CAR WITH NO WINDOW FRAMES BEFORE. IF I HAD ANY IDEA THAT SOMETHING LIKE THIS COULD HAPPEN, I WOULD NOT HAVE PURCHASED IT. I HAVE GONE TO TWO SUBARU DEALERSHIPS WITH MY CONCERNS AND HAVE TRIED TO TRADE IT, BUT OF COURSE, THE TRADE IN VALUE MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE. SO FOR THE MOMENT I'M STUCK WITH IT, BUT IT MAKES ME NERVOUS. I DON'T KNOW IF THIS HAS EVER HAPPENED TO ANYONE ELSE, BUT I SURE HOPE IT DOESNT HAPPEN TO ME AGAIN. THANK YOU. *TR
