Forward Collision Avoidance · reported Nov 10, 2026
The adaptive speed control has a delay if it is either 1) a distance behind a vehicle and that vehicle suddenly stops, the car does not register it until it is within 60-80 feet of the vehicle and then comes to an abrupt stop; 2) if it is following a slow car and that car suddenly switches lanes, it speeds up quickly toward the car in front, which causes an abrupt stop; and 3) the warning message of an object approaching comes on when you are approaching a yellow warning sign. The first two cause abrupt stops and could lead to a rear-end collision because of the hard braking. The 3rd hasn't…
Steering · reported Nov 7, 2026
There is a significant wobble and wobble noise coming from my front driver side suspension. My vehicle does not feel stable the whole car kind of wobbles back-and-forth when turning, which is a major safety concern.

The dealership network has already made two (2) separate, unscheduled service attempts to diagnose and fix this ongoing battery drainage issue: 1.First Repair Attempt: July 9, 2026, at McDaniels Subaru of Columbia, Mileage: 2356. Vehicle would not start. When start button was pushed dash lights would flicker on but would not turn over engine. Not being that familiar with the electronics of the vehicle I thought it may be that my wife had somehow disabled the vehicle by trying to get the key fob to work. Lights on the dash indicated the key fob was âdisabledâ . (The âdisabled key fobâ…
Air Bags · reported Sep 30, 2026
My daughter was driving her car and another car pulled right in front of her from behind a wall. The damage to my daughterâs car is all at the front and the automatic braking mechanism did not work, in addition, non of the airbags deployed which caused my daughter to have injuries to her legs. Towing service was puzzled when they saw the damage and the airbags had not deployed.
