2019 subaru crosstrek left rear window ( driver’s side) window shattered without warning. There was a recall issued for this exact problem - but the time frame for the recall was narrow and my car was not included as it was just shy of the start date for the recall although manufactured in the same month. Subaru’s number for this recall is wug-92. The child car seat was covered in glass and shards of glass were embedded throughout the car. The fact that the car was parked with no one in it does not lessen the reality that this would have been a tragic incident for the child and anyone in the car or near the car especially if we had been driving on a highway. Subaru has been contacted and took all the information. I am documenting this for a warning to other crosstrek owners to be aware that this is known to happen without warning until subaru notifies them of this potential danger. Hopefully the recall will be expanded to avoid harm and injury.

On june 25, 2021 we had driven from seattle to spokane, wa and stopped at the sprague lake rest stop. When we returned to our car and sat in the car for about 15 minutes our car failed to start. The temperature outside was about 100 degrees. After 3 attempts by fellow travelers roadside assist and a tow driver our car failed to start so it was towed to the suburu dealer in spokane washington where a battery was replaced. The only reason that was given for the failure was that we sat in the car for a time before we started the car and the batter;y was drained because of the presence of the keys. Our batter has failed on 3 other occasions. Because we do occasional car trips we no longer feel safe in this car

I’m having continuous problems with my car not starting or a dead battery. It has been in for for service 3x for this issue abc one of those times they replaced the battery. On 6/24/21 i picked up my car from the service department after leaving it there for several days only for them to tell me nothing is wrong with my car. 20 minutes later and my car won’t start which i captured on video. This car seems to have an electrical issue that no one wants to admit to.

I received 2 recall notices in the mail from subaru 0n 6/16/2021. I immediately contacted the selling dealer, dunning subaru, ann arbor michigan and was advised that they could not even give me a date in july when the vehicle could be repaired, but they would add my name to a waiting list for appointments. I contacted subaru customer service for assistance and was told i would have to find a local retailer on my own and that though they said the vehicle was not safe to drive, they refused to offer and substitute transportation until the vehicle could be repaired. I contacted lafontaine subaru, commerce twsp, mi and was advised that they have been unable to order sufficient parts for this recall and while the earliest available appointment was for july 7th (3 weeks from today) they could not guarantee that they would have the parts on that date to actually perform the repair. In short, subaru produced a defective vehicle; advised me it was not safe to drive the vehicle; is unable to repair the vehicle in a reasonable timeframe; and refuses to provide substitute transportation. What is the good of a recall program if repairs can't be made and the customer is stuck without transportation; and the company response is essentially - "it's the customers problem to deal with - have a nice day!"

The eyesight turned off and would not turn back on. Then the airbag symbol lit up on the dashboard. My cruise control and lane assistance were not working as well. If i had been involved in an accident, the airbags would not have deployed. The warning messages appeared about 3 weeks ago.

The windshield on my subaru crosstrek which was purchased new from a dealer in july 2019 has already suffered 2 random chips in the windshield & today as i was driving the windshield split spontaneously with a 7 inch crack in a totally different area from previous repaired chips. This is ridiculous.

I bought my car in mexico and have moved to north las vegas nevada. The dealer will not make the necessary safety repairs under the recalls. What do i do? Do i have an unsafe car?

Starter failed at 50 k miles left me stranded
