Since new, maybe once a month, Cruise control idiot light comes on and flashes until car is turned off. usually no bother but one day it started braking without me and I bought the DUMB base model!!! before extended warranty expires, this august, hopefully dealer will replace wheel speed sensors on rear wheels. not sure if this will fix problem. I have asked them to check this six or seven times now. they tell me warranty may not cover it unless code is stored? hopefully they will stand behind product and fix it anyway. 2017 Impreza with 33000 miles and have done ALL recalls and maintenance!

AIR BAGS

Potential Consequences:

I was driving on the freeway and the all the airbags in my vehicle deployed, sides, front and under the steering wheel. I did not have an accident or hit anything in the road. The airbags blocked my view of the road, and the cabin filled with smoke. I was traveling at a freeway speed. I do not know if the issue has been reproduced. I have contacted my insurance company, and they are handling the claim. There was no prior indication of an issue and no dashboard lights indicated that there was an issue with any of the components of my car. There are no added components or modifications to my vehicle. I purchased the car new.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

Potential Consequences:

I have NOT been on an accident or anything related, my complaint is about my car's current recall that the manufacturer cannot fix. My husband is military and we are currently stationed in Spain, the car has a recall to be fixed before shipment to the new duty station. As per the shipping rules, there cannot be any recalls active on the vehicle and we have done our part to contact the manufacturer both in Spain, United States and Puerto Rico (where the car was purchased originally). We are expected to ship the car in January 31st, 2024 from Spain to the new duty station which this matter has an urgency as it is the only car we have. I have done my part of contacting all Subaru manufacturers so someone can fix the issue before the ship out date, and even they say the manufacturer has no idea HOW they will fix the recall. We need help! The car is in perfect condition we have NOT have any issues with the related 'recall' as of today. Again, we are NOT in the United States but stationed in Spain for military purposes and we are expected to move out at the end of January, this matter has great urgency!
