Whenever I park my car and my wheels are not straght, the key is having hardtime taken out from the lock cylinder. Also, if I insert the key to start the engine, the key gets stucked inside and I can't turn the key, it does not rotates. I got the car in the may of the last year and it is happening every month. I see many people have the same problem on many Subaru lines but the brand is charging $600 for the repair. Please investigate for us. Thank you.
I have a sticky dash. In the summer, it gets hot and extremely shiny to the point it reflects into the windshield and very hard to see while driving. I have talked with a Subaru dealership about the recall but I was told my vehicle is unaffected by the recall.
Air bag light came on. No accident. On smooth road. It has gone off and than comes back on. Will go off for a couple of days and than stay lit for a couple of days. Independent auto shop that services Subaru's states this is common and can send it out to Subaru for service. Contacted Subaru dealer and they stated it is common. They will test and diagnosis, but may need to remove and replace. I have extended warranty that will not cover diagnosis, only failure. Subaru should replace at no charge. 2nd. Item. Took car in due to exhaust systems vibration. Was told is common problem. Dealer offered me temporary fix for 100. 00 to put screws and adhesive to correct problem. Or pay 700. 00 to remove and replace with new. I elected for the 100. 00 fix. As this was diagnosed over the phone and is common, this should be a manufacture fix.
My airbag warning light has periodically gone off & on over the last 2 years. I currently have less than 45,000 miles on it. Of course the day I had an appointment with Subaru, the light would not appear. Hoping airbag will work if ever in an accident.
