• Recall 2020001 [Canada]: Airbag
  Issue: this recall is for certain vehicles that had an airbag inflator replaced as a part of an earlier recall campaign. This recall provides a final repair. Long-term exposure to high absolute humidity and temperature, combined with high temperature cycling, may eventually degrade the propellant contained in the passenger-front airbag. This could cause the airbag to deploy with more force than normal. If the airbag inflator ruptures, fragments could be propelled toward vehicle occupants or cause damage to the airbag assembly, preventing its proper function. Safety risk: if the vehicle is involved in a crash requiring an airbag deployment, the airbag inflator could rupture and create a risk of injury. Corrective actions: owners will be notified by mail and instructed to take their vehicle to a dealer to inspect the passenger-front airbag inflator. The passenger-front airbag module or inflator will be replaced as necessary. Note: the canadian climate results in the propellant degrading slowly. This recall is being conducted as a precaution to address future risk. It is expected that all airbag inflators will be replaced before their function would be affected.

• Recall 2019191 [Canada]: Electrical
  Issue: a problem with certain replacement ignition switches may allow the key turn out of the “on” position while driving. This could cause the engine to turn off suddenly. It could also cause the airbag system not to work properly in a crash. Note: this is a voluntary service campaign that is not being conducted under the requirements of the motor vehicle safety act. This problem only affects certain parts used for replacement of original parts. Safety risk: a sudden loss of engine power could increase the risk of a crash. An airbag system that does not work properly in a crash could cause an increased risk of injuries. Corrective actions: the company will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their vehicle to a dealer to inspect the ignition switch, and replace it as necessary.

• Recall 2019013 [Canada]: Airbag
  Issue: on certain vehicles, long-term exposure to high absolute humidity and temperature, combined with high temperature cycling, may eventually degrade the propellant contained in the passenger-front airbag. This could cause the airbag to deploy with more force than normal. If the airbag inflator ruptures, fragments could be propelled toward vehicle occupants or cause damage to the airbag assembly, preventing its proper function. Safety risk: if the vehicle is involved in a crash requiring an airbag deployment, the airbag inflator could rupture and create a risk of injury. Corrective action: owners will be notified by mail and instructed to take their vehicle to a dealer to have the passenger-front airbag inflator replaced. Note: the canadian climate results in the propellant degrading slowly. This recall is being conducted as a precaution to address future risk. It is expected that all airbag inflators will be replaced before their function would be affected.

• Recall 2018502 [Canada]: Brakes
  On certain vehicles equipped with manual transmissions, components within the control unit for the electronic parking brake (epb) may crack with vehicle use over time. If this were to occur, the brake warning lamp would illuminate and the epb may not apply as intended. This could result in the unintended movement of a parked vehicle, increasing the risk of crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: dealers will replace the parking brake actuator with a more durable one.

• Recall 2016471 [Canada]: Visual system
  On certain vehicles, a manufacturing defect could cause the windshield wipers to become inoperable. If an obstruction (such as snow or ice in the cowl area of the windshield) prevents the wipers from returning to the “park” position when wipers are turned off, the wiper arms would be forced to "park" at a higher than intended position on the windshield. The wiper arms will continuously attempt to return to the normal park position, generating an excessive amount of electrical current in the wiper motor bottom cover, possibly resulting in overheating. This could result in the windshield wipers becoming inoperable, or a possible fire in the bottom cover area of the wiper motor. These issues could impair the driver’s visibility and increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: dealers will replace the front wiper motor bottom cover assembly with a countermeasure one.

• Recall 2013063 [Canada]: Accessories
  On certain vehicles equipped with a dealer-installed accessory remote engine starter, if the fob is dropped, movement of the internal battery retaining clip may occur and cause damage to a component on the printed circuit board. Under this condition, the fob may transmit an engine start (or stop) request without the user pressing the button. If the vehicle is in range and receives the request, the engine may start and run for up to 15 minutes (or until a stop request is received). The engine may continue to start and stop until the fob battery is depleted, or until the vehicle runs out of fuel. If that occurs when the vehicle is parked in an enclosed area, such as a garage, there is a risk of carbon monoxide build-up, which could result in asphyxiation or carbon monoxide poisoning. Correction: dealers will replace the remote engine starter fob.

• Recall 2012048 [Canada]: Airbag
  On certain vehicles, the side curtain airbag inflators may have been incorrectly manufactured and, as a result, one or both airbags may not deploy as intended. Failure of a side curtain airbag to deploy during a crash (where deployment is warranted), could increase the risk of personal injury to the seat occupant. Correction: dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace one or both side curtain airbag assemblies.

• Recall 2011414 [Canada]: Brakes
  On certain vehicles, a seal within the brake master cylinder may have deformed during vehicle assembly. As such, the driver may experience extended brake pedal travel and increased stopping distance, which could result in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the brake master cylinder assembly.

First time car stalled when brakes were applied. Car (subaru legacy 2012) had 140k miles on it. Went to a subaru dealer and they replaced the torque converter. There is a service bulletin out there for this model which caps the mileage for free repair at 100k miles. After 30 miles with a new torque converter, car started shuddering at 45mph. Multiple sensor lights came on with steering becoming difficult. Turned into a small street where the car stalled at low speeds. Took a couple of tries to start the car and sent it back to the dealership for repairs.

Keep having to replace low beam light bulb every few weeks. Unsafe for my teenage driver to not have the correct lighting to see the road.

Car is sometimes experiencing sudden unintended acceleration at slow speeds. Even with driver's foot firmly pushing down on the brake, car will not stop until engine is turned off. There have been 2 recent, similar circumstances: #1: car turned right to a stop sign on a semi-rural road, engine began to "rev" and car jerked forward, barely missing a car ahead. Engine continued to operate at high speed until the car was turned off. After turning back on, car operated normally. #2: driver turned right from a city street into a parking lot and continued to drive at slow speed to turn right into a parking space. Engine began to "rev", car jerked forward, driver braked hard, put car in park but car kept moving. Car jumped onto the parking barrier at the front of the space, driver turned the car off. Car appeared to operate normally after.

Engine stalls after abrupt stop. For example, i was on post road in westport connecticut and slowed down from 25mph+ very quickly with a hard brake. The engine immediately stalled and all lights on the dashboard were activated. Restarting the car allowed me to proceed. This issue also occurred on a highway (the meritt parkway) several weeks ago. This problem is consistently reproducible and has happened 10+ times. Subaru has acknowledged the issue (https://www.Forbes.Com/sites/jensen/2017/07/07/facing-complaints-subaru-offers-extended-warranties-on-1-5-million-vehicles/#6e78473e79dc) and "extended" my warranty up to 100k, but my car currently has 106k miles. I brought the car to hank may's in norwalk, but they were unable to find a cause for the issue. I have reached out to subaru concurrently with this report. They will be examining my car to determine what the issue is and whether it will be covered.

The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 120,000.

Problem was the undercarriage support, little or no protection from essentially a drop, car "leaped' off embankment bottoming out. The result was spinal trauma to the occupants. Very little shock absorption in the seat or suspension. The car rocked back and forth, front and rear but the sudden impact on the undercarriage wasn't absorbed.

The transmission shakes/shudders when coming to a stop or traveling slowly. It has happened with increasing frequency. Sometimes, when the shudder occurs, the car will die, requiring a shift into a park and a restart.

Car initially began to stall every time the car would come to a rest on an incline, then began to stall while turning (most often while turning right at low speeds) and then additionally began stalling when shifting from drive to reverse to back into parking spaces. This progression occurred over the period of less than a month. I called dealership to have it serviced. Before i could get an appointment from the dealer, the engine began causing the car to make a bucking motion on the highway to the point i had to pull off and drive it under 10 miles an hour to a safe location off the road. Since the initial dealer couldn't get me in (due to servicing numerous airbag and wiper recalls) i went to a different dealer who diagnosed the problem as misfiring cylinders 1,2, and 3. The engine had have these cylinders re-machined, the engine was rebuilt, and the car given a tune-up. This made the bucking stop, but the stalling persisted- but was more intermittent. A month later i brought it back to the dealer who said the stalling was due to the computer not communicating with the engine properly- and they performed a "re-learn to system" and said the car tested as designed. It is still intermittently stalling on inclines and when shifting into reverse. Total repairs have amounted to over $4000 between the tow, initial engine/cylinder repair attempt, engine rebuild, and subsequent repairs. It seems to be unfixable- and i am not the only subaru owner complaining of it. I have heard from legacy and outback owners with similar stall issues (but none have reported the bucking issue that happened on 7/5/19.

Cpsc: our 2012 subaru legacy while parked in our garage was found with two flat tires at same time. One tire on passenger front was catastrophic failure as 2 major holes were in sidewall from huge blowout and rear passenger tire had bulge in sidewall leaking air. *dt the consumer stated the brand of tires were pirelli p4 season p215/60r16 95t sl bsw. *js *tr*jb

Tl* the contact owns a 2012 subaru legacy. While driving 15 mph and stopping at a traffic light, the vehicle shut off. The contact was able to restart the vehicle after several attempts. The vehicle was taken to austin subaru (located at 8100 burnet rd, austin, tx 78757, (512) 220-0930) where it was diagnosed that the torque converter and valve body needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was 130,000.

115000 miles , sudden stops kills the engine rendering loss of steering control. Cvt transmission torque converter acts as is locks up taking engine rpm down to a stall condition . Happens anytime one has to apply the brakes suddenly. Normal braking car functions ok.

The electronic parking brake has failed as determined by the modesto subaru dealership diagnostic. They recommend replacing the epb. I paid $157.50 for the diagnostic and they want another $1250 to repair. This problem is already part of a recall for 2012 subaru legacy but my specific vin is not covered. If this is a known problem they should repair regardless of vin. How do i get my vin on the list? This is the only problem with my subaru which started one day after turning on the vehicle and releasing the parking brake.

When braking, the car often stalls and all requires a shift into park, and a restart of the entire engine before being able to proceed. When it stalls, steering is also affected. This frequently happens on city streets, but also happens when pulling into parking spaces and when slowing for turning. This has been happening with increasing frequency.

2012 legacy outback, consumer write sin regards to passenger side frontal airbag safety recall. *ld *js

Car shutters and engine dies when coming to a stop. Dealership said it's the torque converter. Common for subaru legacy 2012. I don't feel safe driving it.

Power steering stopped working. I was in the parking lot at work trying to leave at the end of the day. It drove fine over lunch and then when i started the car at 5pm the steering made a whining noise (typical, from my understanding, of a power steering failure) and was very difficult to turn. The steering wheel also did a harsh vibrating thing a little as i was trying to turn as if it was struggling. I knew something was up, so i put it right back in the parking space so that it could be towed. There was zero indication that this was going to happen. It drove fine over lunch, so it was very surprising that this just happened. Had car towed to local subaru dealer to get it checked out. Was told the power steering pump needed replacing. After it was replaced, they test drove it and said the steering still wasn't working properly and was still doing the harsh vibrating thing indicating that the steering column needed replacing because it had failed. Power steering fluid was completely intact. No belts appeared damaged in any way. I see where the 2013 legacy models had a recall regarding steering as well as the 2016 models. After reading that information, this situation seems very similar to those recalls.

Car shakes then stalls when coming to a stop. Stalling began at approximately 75,000 miles(november 2018) but happened only twice in 4 months so i didn't think much of it, but today 3/5/19 it happened twice(i now have 79,000 miles). Have an appointment at subaru to have car serviced on 3/11/19. However, from reading the complaints, i don't think i am going to be happen with the outcome.

The torque converter of my vehicle is not shutting off properly!!! This began happening to my vehicle during the first week of february 2019. As i came to a sudden stop, my car started shaking, the wheel locked up, and my engine completely stalled out and died at a stoplight. I nearly got rear ended and now it has happened to me in total twice! My car is now at 118k miles which puts it over subaru's 100k warranty. This is a very dangerous issue as it has affected many subaru owners world wide. Subaru must offer a recall on this part!!!!!

Started to stall out while stopping at lights, parking lots, wry bad when unexpectedly needing to stop. Almost rear ended a few times because my car would stall approaching lights. I finally figured out that i need to put it in nuetral for it not to die. I just found out that subaru had an extended warranty to 100,000 miles to fix this issue i am at 100,500. They are actually going to fix it. But if i didn't know they would've never fixed it . My concern is the near miss accidents i was almost in on a daily basis. It happens when i brake and come to a complete stop. Lights, stop signs, anywhere i need to stop.

Tl* takata recall. The contact owns a 2012 subaru legacy. The contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 19v008000 (air bags). The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. Lee's summit subaru (2101 ne independence ave, lee's summit, mo 64064, (816)-251-8600) was contacted and confirmed that the parts were not available for the recall remedy. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.

Tl* takata recall. The contact owns a 2012 subaru legacy. The contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 19v009000 (air bags); however, the part for the repair was unavailable until november 7, 2019. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. Hassett subaru (located at 3520 sunrise hwy, wantagh, ny 11793, (516) 785-7800) and the manufacturer were made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure.

Wife was driving car with newborn son when she came to an abrupt stop because someone slammed on the brakes in front of her so she did and the car stalled and stopped on her nearly avoiding being rear ended. On other occasions she would stop on a hill and the car would shudder and come to a stop and die. This is a very dangerous safety concern for any of these vehicles equipped with this cvt transmission. Especially when subaru boasts about how this transmission is completely maintenance free for the life of the car what a joke rectify the problem before somebody dies

When coming to a stop, the car shudders and may stall. This is especially problematic if i'm turning left and the car stalls at an intersection. This has occurred on a busy city street in the northern virginia area. This has happened on multiple occasions.

Squeel and jerkking. See service bulletin and extended warranties. Tsb 16-90-13r; car is outside extended warranty but this is a vehicle defect that should covered and recalled.

Tl* the contact owns a 2012 subaru legacy. The contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 18v626000 (parking brake). The dealer (smith cairns ford lincoln, 900 central park ave, yonkers, ny 10704, 914-377-8100) was contacted and confirmed that the part was not available. The manufacturer was notified and provided case number 1-38167237613. The contact had not experienced a failure. Vin tool confirms parts not available.

Car stalls when braking abruptly. This has happened three times. It shudders and dies.

Brake pedal travel suddenly increased while driving on residential street. Brake pedal must be depressed almost to floor for car to begin braking. Braking is not very effective. No brake fluid loss experienced and brake fluid appears clear. Fluid level near maximum level in reservoir. A recall (11v562000) for similar issue on certain 2012 legacy was issued but my vin does not indicate a recall.

Takara recall my transmission slips from 5th to 6th gear i have spoken with manufacturer about but because my car is past their extended warranty that did for the issue and did not inform me i found out after the deadline for it subaru just informed me that if i want it done i have to $5000 dollars to get it replaced because i should have known about the deadline beforehand but could not confirm if a letter got sent out for that vin number

Tl* the contact owns a 2012 subaru legacy. The contact stated that the vehicle stalled when attempting to come to a stop. The dealer (my auto import center, 1860 e sternberg rd, muskegon, mi 49444, (231) 799-2886) stated that there was a failure with the engine and offered to assistant with 50% of the costs. The parts that needed replacement were unknown. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and stated that the vehicle was not covered by the extended warranty since it was 10,000 miles over the limit. The failure mileage was 110,700.

The torque converter of my car is not shutting off properly, causing the vehicle to stall periodically. The car has stalled while i am in the middle of making a turn, causing the wheel to lock up, and it has stalled while i am on the highway. This car is no longer safe to drive, and the repairs cost $2,200. My car is over 100,000 miles so the warranty will no longer cover these repairs. I have attempted to contact subaru via their website to address the issue, but have yet to get a response. For now, my car is at the subaru dealership and i am forced to rely on friends and family for transportation. I know that this is an ongoing issue with the 2012 subaru legacy vehicles, and it is absolutely ridiculous that the company is not offering a recall on this part. I am being forced to jump through multiple hoops to attempt to get this issue resolved, and so far i have not been offered any option other than to pay for the repairs out of pocket.

I bought this care a few years ago and from day one if ever in traffic or on highway and have to stop really quickly, it will cause the car to stall,, i had no idea what was wrong i loved the car and just avoided stoping abruptly , but as i have learned over the years this is impossible, a car must be able to stop, its life or death serious... To many time to count my 2012 subaru legacy has stalled,,, come to find out subaru is fully aware of this issue and has avoided a recall,,, thing is i am a father so for years i have been driving a car that has this dangerous defect,, very alarming,,, so i contacted subaru directly and because there is not a recall ,, they just gave me the run around,, this problem with the torque converter is widely known,,, this has lead me to filing this report,,, thing is if subaru doesn't want to do a recall at least fix the ones that are brought to your attention, to insure public safety, it is just very unfair and honestly very dangerous,,,, subaru is aware of this problem with the cvt yet has so far dodged a bullet and honestly i have to , just glad i didn't get in a wreck,,,, subaru please make this right

My 2012 subaru legacy stalls out when i come to a stop. It does this randomly. It is very dangerous as it can happen any time in traffic. I was told that it is caused by a faulty torque converter.

Airbag light on. Open circuit found. Needs airbag main harness, body harness and left front sub sensor to correct concern. In motion when light came on.

Steering wheel nearly locked - became impossible to turn. Happened while making a very slight right turn at about 5mph from a small side road onto a four lane highway. Was able to continue a very very wide turn to get off the road into a parking lot.

Transmission shakes or rumbles between gears while accelerating. Occasionally car will completely lose power and stall. This started happening with mileage at about 97,000 in february of 2018. Subaru dealer in danbury, ct said it was a propeller shaft and rear differential problem. Then brought car to subaru dealer in brewster, ny who recommended transmission replacement. Service bulletins online describe the exact problem happening on the legacy 3.6 transmission. Car now has 121,000 miles on it. Car functions, but vibration between gears continues. Also occasionally completely loses power momentarily - very dangerous. Dealers say blue book value of my car is less than cost of a replacement transmission. Contacted subaru of america who offered me a $100 goodwill parts & service coupon.

Engine turns off when car comes to stop. 5 times in the last 3 weeks my car engine has died. On one occasion i missed a green light and on another occasion was almost rearended at a stop sign.

Sunroof shattered with a very load bang. Driving on a highway during the day in good weather and at constant speed. Nothing hit the sunroof. There were no cars or trucks in front of me. I did not go over a bridge or any other structure. It "spontaneously" shattered.

On july 31 of 2017 i brought my car to 'big o tires' for routine brake inspection. There was no warning lights or signs on car dashboard. After brakes inspection my car was declared unsafe to leave the shops without repair. The repair had to be made because of both rear calipers where frozen. I had no choice and agreed to repairs (my car then had mileage of 27,500 miles; the copy of subaru extended warranty policy i received in september 2017). Repair included replacement of calipers, rotors and brake pads (all rear). Also, new tires, as their extensive wear was consistent with brake problems. Statement of repair and policy are attached. [several month before this repair i visited subaru dealership with concern of high fuel consumption inconsistent with mileage i drove. At that time no repair was made, and i only guess that computer reset was done.]

Vehicle has an electrical failure that causes the dash check engine, brake, cruise and other lights to activate. While driving, the failure causes: one or both headlights to suddenly fail making the vehicle illegal and dangerous to drive at night, cruise control to suddenly fail, and stability control to become non-functional. The main failure being the headlights/daytime running lights could cause injury or death due to sudden lack of visibility at night. Subaru was unable to diagnose/fix the failure on 2 service occasions. This failure occurs without warning while the vehicle is in motion at both highway speeds and city street speeds. The component causing the failure is unknown.

Torque converter - car stalls when braking abruptly. Can/will cause accident soon...

Tl* takata recall. The contact owns a 2012 subaru legacy. The contact received a recall notice for nhtsa campaign number: 17v014000 (air bags). The parts needed for the repairs were not available. The contact believed that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time to provide the recall repairs. The dealer and manufacturer were notified. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact had not experienced a failure. Vin tool confirms parts not available.

While driving on the highway (60) mph my sunroof exploded outwords. By outwords i mean buckled up and out. Razor sharp prices of glass flew everywhere all over my head and face. Extremely scary. There was no over passes and or traffic in front of me at the time. The force of a rock at this speed would not come close to anything like this. It was almost like the cabin was under pressure.

Car will shudder and almost die or will die when coming to a stop. Was told it was the torque convertor. We have the cvt transmission

Hit head on driving our 2012 subaru legacy by a nissan maxima both traveling opposite directions at 40 miles per hour. All air bags in other vehicle were deployed while none deployed in the subaru contributing to extensive impact injuries, seal/lap belt injuries and closed head trauma. This accident occurred on a city street, dry road conditions with no contributing factors except negligence on other drivers part.

I was hit in the rear end of the car and hit the car in front of me, but the airbag did not deploy. I was at a complete stop during rush hour on a highway.

2012 70,000 miles car began to stall at stops but not all the time. More often at abrupt stops. This happens anywhere at a stop light, stop sign, freeway driving. Extremely dangerous problem. I am being told it is the torque converter air flow (something like that) and can cost $2500 to fix. It appears subaru has known about this problem since at least 2010 and has not alerted the owners of these vehicles. *tr

My subaru legacy has been recently stalling when coming to a stop. It shudders and if you do not give it gas or place in neutral, the engine will die. I have read that this is caused from a faulty torque converter that subaru is aware of but has failed to issue a recall. I'm not sure i would buy another product that isn't fully backed and supported by the manufacturer.

Contact owns a 2012 subaru legacy 2.5. While driving at lower speed and approaching a turning lane at a heavy traffic intersection from the highway during rush hour the vehicle vibrated and shuttered abnormally, then stalled with all early computer warning lights going off before engine cut. Owner able to restart vehicle, but cautiously taken to dealer to diagnose with safety concerns while driving. Dealership mechanic unable to diagnose over three hours later. Mechanic stated systems all checked out, but unable to say what the reason was even after test driving twice by different workers. Mileage just over 61,000. Multiple subaru forums lists this issue with legacy, outback, and other models (1998-current 2016) citing high safety concerns warranting further investigative review and please be escalated.

Stationary or moving with key on or with engine running front wipers run with switch in off position.

The car was pulling out from a stop sign and traveling at 5 mph when the driver side door was hit by another vehicle traveling 45-50 mph with enough damage to be considered for total loss and the driver side airbag did not deploy. None of the airbags deployed. The passenger in the other car was taken to the hospital for evaluation and the driver of my car had a mild head injury from hitting her head on the driver door window.

Tire pressure monitoring system on one tire failed before 5 to 7 year expected life span thus making the fail-safe system inoperable

Head gasket blown. While vehicle was moving, coolant backed up and eventually vented. Coolant leaking happened before the temperature gauge warned us engine was hot, and when it splashed, the liquid affected the function of the brakes and power steering. In motion on a highway. Has happened three times before diagnosis

While driving with all windows up & moonroof closed, i can hear that wind/air is coming in from somewhere. While getting a car wash water drips in through moonroof. There was a recall on the 2012's manufactured april 6th to may 12, 2011 for not enough adhesive applied causing moonroofs to come loose and detach. My vin # does not show up for this recall, but i believe it has the same problem. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2012 subaru legacy. While driving various speeds, the check engine, cruise control, brake, and traction control warning indicators illuminated continuously. The vehicle was taken to subaru of dayton (995 miamisburg centerville rd, washington township, oh 45459) multiple times. The dealer diagnosed that the oil fuel cap was loose and the oxygen and an unknown sensor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vin and failure mileage were unknown. *bf vin is invalid. Manufacturer has been notified and suggested buying a new car. Consumer stated dealership says oxygen sensors are vending correctly following month dealership stated sensors are bad. Dealership does not know what is wrong with the vehicle.*jb

Vehicle vibrates and pulsates every time you apply the brakes while driving at speeds above 50 mph- vibrations are felt throughout the vehicle and the steering wheel. On march 11th; subaru dealership technicians took a look at the problem and drove the vehicle and confirmed the steering wheel vibrations while braking on speeds above 50 mph, they also found all brakes at 7mm and front rotors with added material to it measuring above 0.0008" - technicians recommended a simple resurface of rotors (charged at owners expense) or to wait until the condition worsen ??? (affecting other suspension, steering or brakes components) in order to repair the vehicle using the warranty. Currently my car has 22,345 and it already continues to pulsate every time i apply the brakes at speeds well above 50 mph. Nothing was say about the brake pads conditions or quality. I did noted on many subaru forums online that many subaru owners have experience this issue but it seems that no one has reported such issues to the nhtsa. *tr

Purchased brand new subaru legacy october 31st of 2011. After only five months and 14,000 miles beginning in march of 2012 i was shocked to discover the following problem(s) with my legacy: low idling, bogging down, at oil light illuminated, and nearly stalling out.
