Tl- the contact owns a 2013 Subaru Legacy. The contact stated that he had taken the vehicle to be serviced at a dealer(heuberger Subaru 1080 motor city dr, colorado springs, CO 80905 719) 475-1920) for a transmission issue. Initially, the dealer would not cover the cost of the repair due to the warranty expiring; however, the manufacturer was notified and ultimately agreed to service the vehicle under warranty. Since then, the vehicle had remained in the possession of the dealer for nearly two months.

We just bought this car and 2 days later the service engine light went on and the brake icon was blinking and the cruise control didnt work. A Subaru dealer told me that it needs the parking break electrical control panel. I find this strange as the car is only 6 years old. Please advise me what you find out.
Extended crank issue - I've had an extended crank issue with my car for the last 10 months. The car has been taken to the Subaru dealership where it was purchased 3 time. The car spent 30 days in the shop due to this problem. The car is having a very hard time starting after it's been sitting for a few hours. And sometimes not starting at all, when it does eventually start it's cranking for an additional 10-30 seconds. One it does start the engine knocks and runs rough until it warm, then goes away. When the car was at the dealership, I was informed that the extended crank is a known issue for the year I have. I was told the computer system in the car needs to be replaced in order to fix the problem. I representative from Subaru came out to the dealership to look at my car and 2 others same year make and model that were having the same problem. The representative deemed it "normal" he said " nothing I can do until a recall gets approved" and "Subaru needs to fix bugs in the system". He also said that while the car has the extended crank issue it is putting more wear and tear on the engine and it would soon need to be replaced. I was then sent on my way because, they couldn't do anything for me. Needless to say the car is still having issues because of the extended crank, nothing has been resolved.
Airbag fault warning light turn on with front passenger airbag off light turn on and the front passenger seat belt unbuckle warning also turn on while driving. There is a passenger in the front seat with seat belt on. Turn off the car and started the car again multiple time did not resolve the problem, the passenger air bag light stay off with seat belt warning light on even with or without front passenger.
2013 Subaru Legacy. Consumer writes in regards to vehicle acceleration problems. The consumer stated the engine stalled quite frequently on acceleration, usually at speeds of 35 mph. It would occur when going up slight hills, down hill and level roads. The engine would re-start itself after loosing 5-10 mph. Applying the accelerator made no difference. The dealer reprogrammed the computer, but the problem returned, shortly thereafter. The dealer was unable to find anything wrong.
