| Suspension problems |
The front subframe of my 2010 Subaru is completely rusted through and is available for inspection. My safety was put at risk because if the subframe broke in half while I was driving it would cause an accident from lack of steering control. Many people online said they had the same problem. The car was vibrating and shaking at high speed. The vehicle has not been inspected by any representatives. Subaru of America was called and they refused to do anything to help us. I am sure there are many more of these cars on the road with this problem who are unaware as I was and it is extremely unsafe. People are going to be killed!!!.
Front subframe has rotted away in several spots. This makes the vehicle extremely unsafe to drive. With possible wheel loss or control of steering. Problem has been confirmed by independent repair shop during state inspection. No warning lights are on or possible for this issue. Issue was first noticed from noise coming from front of vehicle like rocks bouncing around, followed by strong pulling to the right when braking.
Steering column and seat vibrates at speeds greater than 60 miles/hour.
2010 Subaru Legacy - has a vibration in steering wheel and in seat - gone back dealership 2 times already, once for a road force balance didn't work, 2nd time new tires, new steering dampener, suspension shim, wheel alignment and still have a vibration. Now their seems to a little play in steering at high speeds on turns since steering dampener was replaced. . There is a TSB about this issue fix from Subaru doesn't seem to work.
Shimmy in steering prevalent at highway speeds, dealer claims to be unaware of any issues in 2010 Legacy models. Affects highway steering.
The steering sway wobble shimmy at highway speeds is still present. With vdc off it is substantially less sway feeling and steering correction. If you drive straight, you will have to continually correct the steering to overcome to above. About 800 miles I now get a vibration you can feel in the steering wheel. It feels unsafe. Other dangerous cvt occurrences are: - in 'd' the car surges occasionally when stopped, like an unintended acceleration surge. Scary, feels like the car is going to take off and feels unsafe. - while driving in cvt manual mode, lets say 2nd gear into a highway exit curve and you let off of the gas pedal, car continues at same speed and rpm!!!!! does not reduce rpm or speed until you hit the brake. Scary if you drive on a straight road and let off of the gas pedal car will reduce rpm and speed. -sometimes if your stopped and go to turn the wheel before you release the brake, engine will raise rpm quite a bit causing surge in power. Scary!.
