Your site does not respond quickly to entering in the VIN number - it just sits there - does not respond to data being entered also, it appears to have a weird date (17/17) what is that supposed to mean? 👎does anyone review this stuff????.

6 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 02/08/2019

Have had numbeous repairs starting at 50000 miles. Heater blower unit went out at around 50000 - was actually melted according to mechanic. Starter went out at 90000. Was not getting enough power to starter. Drove it the next day after the $1000 repair and it's smells like something is burning. The vechicle does not seem to be getting enough power to vital parts and are overheating and melting. I have paid over $6000 in repairs and it keeps getting worse. I'm afraid to drive it for fear the vehicle will catch on fire. It was actually smoking the day after we replace the starter and smelled like something was burning. The vehicle has less than 100000 miles and has constantly had problems since 50000 miles .

7 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 11/28/2018

The gas guage innaccurately describes how much gas is left in the tank. I filled my tank from 40 miles two weeks ago. I paid $32 for the gas and it only read 170 miles till empty unlike the usual 300 miles. 5 hours later, when it corrected itself, returning to 300 miles. This week, upon filling my car up at 40 miles till empty, I paid $28. My car read 280 miles till empty and then shot up to 300 miles half an hour later. I feel unsafe to let my car go long periods of time without filling with gas. I called my local Subaru dealership and they wanted me to wait almost 3 weeks to bring my car in, even when stated that I heard of this happening previously with other 2011-2016 Subaru Imprezas. Their response was less than comforting "claiming" they have had no prior knowledge or trends of this happening with my generation Impreza, only the newer model Imprezas and crosstreks.

Driving 65 mph (tempurature 34 degrees, no heat on in car) early Sunday am 12/4 (no other vehicles in front of me) and my sunroof glass exploded. Dealer is trying to tell me it was from a rock or other particle item (seriously. . . No one was in front me). The noise sounded like a gunshot and I immediately pulled over. I have 5 total pictures but the system isn't allowing me to attach more.

12 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 02/17/2014

During the month of January 2014 I had a few questionable incidents that happened pulling in to various parking spaces, whether it was the supermarket or the schools with which my children attend and that I work. I didn't think anything of it as this is a new car and it should work perfectly. The week of February 17th this was the moment I knew I wasn't imagining things, my first moment of complete panic as my brand new car unintendedly accelerated toward my garage. I had just dropped off my child and a neighbors child at school. We carpool to help each other out. I applied as much pressure I could to brake that car. I knew at this moment it wasn't me and that I should have taken more notice and action in January. March 7th it was just another typical day of driving my and my neighbors' children to and from school. We had my son's friend in the car, both are only 9/8 years of age, my daughter, 11, had her friend in the car. We went from the library dropped off my son's friend and proceeded home. We were all laughing and having a good time as we pulled in to the the driveway. All of sudden the car had an unintended accelerated moment and raced toward the garage. Once the vehicle finally stopped there, was complete dead silence. Skid marks on my driveway. I immediately went in to call the dealership to inform and find out what to do. March 14th loaded 2 dogs in to the car to go to the park. As we backed out I saw the other two and decided it would be a family affair. We have 4 labradors. So as I pulled back in to the driveway and as we (the dogs and I) pulled in, the car again accelerated towards the garage. At this point I called the dealership again and said that it has happened again. Still they can't find anything wrong and even came and drove it at my house with the car computer attached to a laptop. We drove in and out of our driveway 2 times.
