Unknown my subaru has always had a little hesitation when accelerating. I brought this up to the dealer and they are telling me it is normal. However, in the last few months, it has gotten worse. Sometimes, when trying to accelerate into traffic, the car feels like it's going to stall or die, then it kicks in and i am able to accelerate. This is intermittent, so i never know when it's going to happen. This is a safety issue, since the hesitation could cause me to get hit.

Driver seat mounting, the driver seat was rocking, at 11,000 miles the dealer replaced a bolt under warranty. It started again at 25,800 miles. Now out of warranty, the dealer did replace the seat base at no charge as goodwill...I am a big man 6'3 250# but that should not exceed the parameters of a seat mount...At this point i am satisficed with the repair but not happy it has occurred twice in a 4 year old car with less than 26,000 miles on it.

Sunroof exploded while driving at highway speed. Nothing hit my car while driving, no cars were in front of me. Glass and debris fell on my while i was driving. The car was taken to the dealer for repair because local auto glass shops would not work on the sunroof. The car has been with the dealer for almost a week. They are telling me that there is not a sunroof glass available in the united states.

What looks like a small chip appeared on the windshield without anything hitting it. The car was parked in a driveway in a suburban neighborhood.

My 2018 subaru crosstrek's windshield cracked for no apparent reason. There was no rock or anything that i saw hit it. The crack keeps growing and is now about the length of a dollar bill. I have had a cracked windshield before on a different car and it is obvious when something like a rock hits it. However, this crack seemed to have come out of nowhere. When i first noticed the crack the vehicle was in motion on city streets (~35 mph)

My driver's headlight went out which is led with only 40,600 miles. I discovered that if the swiveling test feature fails when i first start the vehicle, it will turn off the headlight. That is a big safety issue because the led light will still work if the swiveling feature wasn't malfunctioning. I found out several people online has the same issue, and subaru won't recall this problem. My headlight did turn back on for 1-2 weeks before going out again because of the swiveling test feature fail. My dealer told me the entire headlight assembly would have to be replaced at a cost of $1437.00 before tax. I refused because it's an led that should have never gone out with only 40,600 miles on it, and i bought it new. Also, i told them it's a safety issue since if the swiveling feature failed, the light should stay straight and be kept on, but subaru's design is to turn off the headlight. What are my options? I'm frustrated because of so little miles, and i don't have the vehicle paid off yet so getting rid of it isn't an easy option for me regarding money. Thank you.
