Radio/tape Cd Player Problems of Subaru Impreza

The car was designed so that the radio turns on automatically when the car is parked & the engine is started. That feature is distracting to the driver. For example, the driver must remember to turn the radio volume completely down before turning off the engine. Otherwise, when the driver turns the engine back on again, the radio noise is audible & can sometimes be startling. The driver must then either turn the volume completely down or turn off the radio; there is always a short delay before the radio shuts off. Having to focus on eliminating radio noise distracts the driver from focusing on essential tasks, such as putting the car in gear & checking the surroundings before parking or moving the car.

Eyesight disables it's self, radio volume stopped working, rearview camera disables it's self, car locked its self with engine running for 1 hour with both keys in my pocket while standing outside waiting for a tow truck. I purchased the 2017 Subaru Impreza sport on memorial day 2017. Since my purchase the vehicle has been returned to the dealer three times to fix these issues. The last issue regarding the self locking happened on 07/13/17. Subaru service department has addressed the previous concerns by stating and upgrading software updates to my vehicle but it seems like everytime the software gets updated a another issue comes up. My vehicle has a open case with Subaru tech and is now under review for buy back/replacement. This is my f first and last Subaru purchase. The consumer should not be Subaru's guinea pigs for their vehicles.

We purchased a new Impreza on 2/4/17, within days of bringing the car home we noticed that all the radio presets had been wiped out, and the xm radio had reverted back to a trial period. That same day we received an email saying that our car was sending a problem code for the starlink system. Upon calling the dealership we spoke with a service adviser who owns the same car and she told us that she has all kinds of problems with the car software. Including backup camera, screen freezing, losing radio presets, clock time changing. And she indicated that this was a know issue with the vehicle model and she had been dealing with it for 2 months. She told us that she had been told Subaru had not idea how to fix it and maybe in may they might have it fixed. Upon being transferred to the sales manager, he hold us that Subaru had not put a stop sell order on the call so they kept selling them. We were never told about this defect prior to buying the car. Recent calls with Subaru have confirmed the problem, but nobody will call us back. We have put 3 miles on the car since we picked it up. We want to return the car to the dealership. We have been defrauded by Subaru. This was a know defect! Subaru customer service has confirmed that they have the issue. My starlink system which warns if in an accident, is sending out a problem code and it makes a loud noise when I try to connect. This is obviously related to the software issue. I am afraid to drive my car. We need your help in investigation this. Other unsuspecting buyers are getting duped every day.

The bluetooth has a connectivity issue. It happens when I'm driving, when I hit the brakes, when I put the car in gear, when I'm stationary. There is really no telling when it will skip, but it happens one to two times every hour. It is a safety hazard because it causes my heart to race and sometimes I feel I'm having a panic attack. I bought the car brand new, the dealership and the manufacturer know about the problem. The manufacturer said the problem is not the car, it's not the phone, but it's the way it connects, and they have no solution. I previously owned a 2013 Subaru Impreza and it did not have this problem. They replaced the radio unit, made sure the car's operating system is up to date, and basically told me it's just the way it is and there's nothing they can do about it.
