Problem is with the subaru "eyesight" system on this vehicle. The system has been sutting itself off more and more over the past few weeks until now, it shuts down the system and cruise control multiple times daily even at night.daytime or whenever it wants to. The local dealer checked it and found no problem that he could see for it.

The tire low pressure indicator came on the dash board. The air pressure was low, so that was what was supposed to happen. The problem is that i can't reset the tire low pressure indicator unless i pay the dealer $50. So, i haven't had a functioning low pressure indicator for two years.

When stopped on a hill, with engine running, shift placed securely in park, with road ice on one side of vehicle, the car started to slide down the hill, but both rear wheels and driver side front wheel were turning while car was sliding down hill. In testing this, it was repeated two times, once on the same hill, again on a different hill. This is dangerous! It is as though "park" is only locking the right front…

My vehicle is bucking/jerking under light to medium acceleration loads between about 10 mph to 30 mph. The issue occurs intermittently, but it will occur several times during a single trip to work 25 miles away. I have taken it to the dealer, but the technician was not able to replicate the issue in the parking lot. They believe it is an issue with the cvt. Others online have expressed concern with the exact same…

There is an odd hesitation as if it does not want to go forward at idle after braking. If i press the gas, there is a delayed reaction and a lurch. This is scary! At times, when i am heavily braking to a stop i can feel my car lurching slightly when it unlocks before it comes to a stop. This lurching is most noticeable in stop and go traffic. When i take my foot off the gas to coast, it seems to slow the vehicle…

After i slow down to turn a corner this car occasionally pauses, or will not resume moving for a few seconds when i step on the gas. This has caused cars behind me to almost rear end me numerous times. It sometimes happens twice in one day then won't happen again for several weeks. I have taken it to the dealer but it has never done it on any of their test drives. This has occurred ever since i bought this car new.…
