2015 SUBARU LEGACY Power Train Problems

The contact owned a 2015 Subaru Legacy. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked, the contact opened and closed the trunk, triggering the alarm system. The alarm system failed to deactivate immediately. The vehicle then failed to restart as needed, and the "Shift to Park" message was displayed while the transmission was in park(P). The vehicle was towed to the dealer, where the brake fuse was replaced; however, the failure persisted. The contact replaced the brake fuse for a second time, but the failure recurred. The vehicle was towed back to the dealer, where an unknown repair was performed. The contact later sold the vehicle. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 175,000.

battery drainage problem, transmission jerking

MY TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN IDLING ROUGH AFTER COMING TO A STOP AND FEELS AS IF IT IS GOING TO STALL. IF I LET OFF THE BRAKE SLIGHTLY THE RPMS GO BACK TO NORMAL TEMPORARILY THEN CONTINUES TO IDLE ROUGHLY

THE AT OIL TEMP AND BRAKE LIGHT RANDOMLY START FLASHING AND KICK YOUR CAR OFF CRUISE WITHOUT ANY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND OIL TEMP ARE NOT HOT BUT CAUSES THE CAR TO LOSE POWER. ALMOST BEEN REAR ENDED ON THE FREE WAY DUE TO THIS HAPPENING DEALERSHIP DOES NOT KNOW WHAT CAUSES THIS DUE TO IT NOT ALWAYS HAPPENING AND THE LIGHTS GO OFF AFTER SHUTTING THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN MULTIPLE PEOPLE HAVE THIS PROBLEM WITH NO RESOLUTION. I AM A HUGE SUBARU FAN BUT WILL LOOK ELSE WHERE IF SUBARU DOESN'T START FIXING THEIR MISTAKES,

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ICON FLASHING. THE CARS RPM'S WERE REPEATEDLY FLUCTUATING WHEN PARKED, IN NEUTRAL, AND IN DRIVE WITH THE BRAKE ON.

SINCE NOVEMBER OF 2017 WHILE DRIVING THE CAR IT HAS INTERMITTENTLY JERKED AND SHOOK EXCESSIVELY, BUCKING LIKE A MAD HORSE. CAR WAS BROUGHT IN TO DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS. DEALER WAS NOT ABLE TO IDENTIFY THE CAUSE. AFTER SEVERAL VISITS TO DEALER WHERE I WAS ASSURED THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED THE SAME PROBLEM CONTINUED. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THE CAR, WHILE DRIVING STARTED TO SHUT DOWN AND I NEEDED TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALER. DEALER CLAIMED THE PROBLEM WAS A FAULTY SPARK PLUG. CAR WAS THEN RETURNED TO ME. YET AGAIN THE PROBLEM PERSISTED AND HAD I TO CRAWL LIKE A TURTLE BACK TO HOME. CAR WAS TOWED AGAIN TO DEALER FOR ANOTHER DIAGNOSIS. NOW THE DEALER BELIEVES THE PROBLEM IS A FAULTY CYLINDER (WHATEVER THAT MEANS).I HAVE NO TRUST IN THE RELIABILITY OF THIS VEHICLE AND AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF DRIVING THIS VEHICLE WITH MY FAMILY. IT BE SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THE CAR HAS BEEN SERVICED EXACTLY TO THE INSTRUCTIONS PER THE MILEAGE GUIDANCE. I HAVE REPORTED THIS CONCERN TO SUBARU OF AMERICA CORPORATE OFFICE. CASE # 1-38872409282. THEIR RESPONSE IS UNFAIR. I AM NOW LEFT WITH A CAR THAT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND I SHOULD NOT BE PENALIZED FINANCIALLY.

WHEN PARKING IN A PARKING SPOT AT A SCHOOL GOING TO WORK, THE CAR ACCELERATED ON IT'S OWN AND WENT UP AN EMBANKMENT AND STRUCK A TREE CAUSING EXTENSIVE DAMAGE.

Mileage: 131,254

RIGHT REAR WHEEL BEARING HAD TO BE REPLACED AT APPROXIMATELY 36,000 MILES. NOW THE LEFT REAR WHEEL BEARING HAS HAD TO BE REPLACED AT APPROXIMATELY 44,000 MILES. BOTH SITUATIONS OCCURRED WHEN UNUSUAL NOISES WERE HEARD FROM THE REAR END OF THE CAR AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE DEALERSHIP MAKING THE REPAIRS AND SUBARU OF AMERICA HAVE NOT PROVIDED ANY REASONABLE EXPLANATION FOR WHY BOTH WHEEL BEARINGS WOULD HAVE PROBLEMS AT RELATIVELY LOW MILEAGE.

Mileage: 36

TRANSMISSION SLIPS, GAS CAP DOES NOT CLOSE/OPEN PROPERLY AND "STICKS." CONSTANT BUZZING SOUND FROM WINDOWS EVEN AFTER THEY WERE REPLACED AND THE MOONROOF WILL NOT CLOSE PROPERLY WHEN PRESSING THE BUTTON FOR THE FIRST TIME. THE MOONROOF WILL CLOSE AND THEN OPEN AGAIN.

JUST GOT A NOTICE THAT SUBARU IS EXTENDING THE WARRANTY ON THE CVT FOR THIS CAR AND MY SECOND SUBARU (2014 OUTBACK 4S4BRBLC0E3307363). CALLED THEM TO ASK WHAT PERCENTAGE OF CARS HAVE NEEDED THIS REPAIR SO I CAN MAKE AN INFORMED DECISION ABOUT KEEP OR DISPOSING OF MY SUBARUS. THEY TOLD ME "WE DO NOT HAVE ANY DATA ON # OF REPAIRS" AND SAID THEY JUST DID IT AS A COURTESY TO CUSTOMERS. SOUNDS LIKE A LOAD OF BUNK TO ME. I THINK THAT I AM ENTITLED TO THIS DATA TO MAKE AN INFORMED DECISION AND ASK YOUR ASSISTANCE IN COMPELLING SUBARU TO BE OPEN AND TRANSPARENT WITH OWNERS REGARDING THIS ISSUE. THANK YOU.

MY 2015 SUBARU LEGACY HAS A VERY ABRUPT THROTTLE TIP-IN (THE MANNER IN WHICH POWER IS DELIVERED UPON DEPRESSING THE GAS PEDAL). PUSH THE THROTTLE A LITTLE AND NOTHING HAPPENS AND THEN A LITTLE MORE AND IT TAKES OFF LIKE A SHOT! NOT SAFE WHEN PULLING INTO TIGHT PARKING SPACES. I CALLED MY SUBARU DEALER AND I WAS TOLD IT IS CAUSED BY THE CVT TRANSMISSION DESIGN. SUBARU NEEDS TO REDUCE THE ABRUPTNESS OF THE THROTTLE TIP-IN FOR SAFE OPERATION. THIS IS UNSAFE AND SCARY IN TIGHT PARKING SITUATIONS.

UPON LOW SPEEDS TRANSMISSION HOWLS, HESITATION FOLLOWED BY FAST ACCELERATION. KEY INSERTION INTO IGNITION IS DIFFICULT AND ROUGH. *TR
