2015 Subaru Outback Structure

2015 Subaru Outback Premium. Took in to a very helpful local Subaru Dealer and they discovered that the front subframe has rusted out seemingly prematurely. The vehicle just turned 10 years old with and upon doing research it seems to be a widely known commonly occurring problem. Would be handy if Subaru of America could do a recall on the front subframe as it is a very high cost repair to have it done correctly with the safest outcome.

Driver door interior, de-bonding of the horizontal crash protection from the outer door panel. Online research indicates this is a common issue.

The dealer found significant rusting on the front subframe and some on the rear subframe. The front was enough there's a hole in it. I was told it was not safe to drive as it would not hold in an accident.

See attached document for complaint

THE REAR DOORS FOR OUR 2015 OUTBACK ARE STUCK IN THE CHILD SAFETY LOCK POSITION. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. WE PAID OVER $300+ TO HAVE THE MECHANIC ACCIDENTALLY BREAK THE SWITCH AND THEN REPAIR IT. THE SWITCH ON THE OTHER DOOR IS ALSO STUCK WITH THE CHILD SAFETY LOCK ENGAGED.

2015 SUBARU OUTBACK. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO DAMAGE TO HOSES IN VEHICLE DUE TO RODENTS. *LD *JS

MY CAR WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY AND DEVELOPED A CRACK IN THE FRONT WINDSHIELD. NO IMPACT MARK OR ANYTHING. CRACKED IN THE LOWER PASSENGER SIDE WINDSHIELD LIKE ALL 2015 AND NEWER SUBARU OUTBACKS APPARENTLY DO. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ONLINE WITH PEOPLE DETAILING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE YET NO RECALL YET.

FUEL DOOR DOES NOT OPEN TO ALLOW ACCESS TO GAS CAP. I WAS LOW ON GAS AND COULD NOT FILL THE TANK BECAUSE I COULD NOT ACCESS THE GAS CAP.

PASSENGER SIDE "CHILD LOCK" WILL NOT DISENGAGE. DOOR IS PERMANENTLY LOCKED FROM THE INSIDE BECAUSE OF A FAULTY CHILD LOCK. WE SET THE CHILD LOCK OUR CHILD WAS A TODDLER BUT NOW IT'S STUCK IN THE ON POSITION.

REAR HATCH DOES NOT RELIABLY OPEN - CANNOT CLOSE AFTER MANUAL OVERRIDE. VEHICLE HAS HAD ISSUE FOR OVER 15000 MILES AND 5 TIMES AT THE DEALER BUT HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED. REAR HATCH DOES NOT OPEN RELIABLY AND WHEN A MANUAL OVERRIDE IS NECESSARY TO REMOVE CARGO OR PETS, THE HATCH DOES NOT CLOSE EASILY AND DOOR LIGHT REMAINS ON EVEN WHILE DRIVING. THIS CAUSES AND OBVIOUS SAFETY ISSUE BOTH FOR CARGO ESCAPING THE VEHICLE AND ALSO FOR EXHAUST ENTERING THE VEHICLE. THIS OCCURS WITH ALL DOORS UNLOCKED, VEHICLE IS STOPPED, KEY FOB IS ATTEMPTED AS WELL AS DOOR TRIGGER TO OPEN THE HATCH. NO MEMORY SET WHEN ATTEMPTING TO OPEN. NO USER ERROR.

REAR ELECTRIC LIFTGATE SPORADICALLY FAILS TO OPEN. THIS CONDITION PERSISTS WHETHER I PRESS THE BUTTON ON THE LIFTGATE, THE DASHBOARD LIFTGATE BUTTON, OR THE KEY FOB BUTTON. I CAN HEAR THE LIFTGATE UNLATCH, HOWEVER IT FAILS TO OPEN MORE THAN A COUPLE INCHES. LITHIA SUBARU (OREGON CITY) HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO REPAIR. WE PURCHASED OUR VEHICLE NEW FROM THE DEALER. IT HAS EXHIBITED THIS PROBLEM FROM THE FIRST DAY WE OWNED IT. SUBARU SHOULD RECALL AND FIX ALL VEHICLES WITH THIS PROBLEM. I FEEL STRONGLY THIS IS AN DESIGN DEFECT OF THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. THIS SPORADIC CONDITION PRESENTS ITSELF WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY, BOTH WHEN THE ENGINE IS RUNNING AND WHEN IT IS NOT. THERE DOESN'T SEEM TO BE ANY SET OF CONDITIONS UPON WHICH I CAN CAUSE OR PREDICT THE FAILURE.

THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR HAS DELAMINATED. THIS IS CONFIRMED BY A THE DOOR SOUNDING LIKE A DRUM WHEN CLOSED, THE LOWER PORTION OF THE DOOR VIBRATING WHEN CLOSED AND A MECHANIC AT THE DARYL WALTRIP DEALERSHIP WHO INSPECTED THE INSIDE OF THE DOOR. THE DEALER ONLY WANTS TO PUT A BAND AID ON THE PROBLEM BY PLACING PADS INSIDE THE DOOR TO DEADEN THE SOUND. THE CONCERN IS FOR THE FRONT SEAT PASSENGER WHO COULD BE SERIOUSLY INJURED IN A SIDE IMPACT COLLISION BECAUSE OF THE REDUCED STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE DOOR.

THIS CAR HAS SUFFERED FROM, AS HAVE MANY OTHER 2015 SUBARU OUTBACKS FROM EXCESSIVE WIND NOISE. THE CAR HAS HAD 2 FIXES SO FAR AND THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. *JS

NOTE: NO ACCIDENT - REPORTING SAFETY ISSUE!!! INCIDENT DATE = DATE ISSUE IDENTIFIED: AS THE DRIVER, I AM SEEING LIGHT UNDER THE HOOD IN THE SPACE BETWEEN THE EDGE OF THE DASHBOARD AND THE OPENING UNDER THE HOOD. OUTSIDE LIGHT AND ROAD IMAGES ARE VISIBLE THROUGH THE OPENING FOR THE DRIVERS WIPER, DUE TO THE WIDE GAP BETWEEN THE DRIVERS FRONT FENDER AND HOOD. I FOUND THIS SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASE WHEN I ADJUSTED MY SEAT TO THE POSITION MOST COMFORTABLE FOR DRIVING. THIS WAS REPORTED TO MY DEALER AND SUBARU. IN ADDITION, I PRESENTED A VIDEO AND PICTURES THAT SHOWS FROM THE DRIVERS SEAT, INSIDE THE VEHICLE, I CAN CLEARLY SEE OUTSIDE LIGHT AND IMAGES WHICH IS DISTRACTING WHEN I DRIVE AND TO ME A SAFETY ISSUE.
