1 Other Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 01/20/2026

I am reporting a sudden unintended deceleration event in my Subaru. The vehicle grinded to a halt without driver input. The car stopped in the left lane of a major highway. We put on our hazards and called the state police for help. They were unable to get to us in time. We were hit from the rear. The car's failure created a stationary hazard that led to a high-speed rear-end collision by a Jeep and truck which caused the car to do a 360-degree spin.

2 Other Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 08/01/2024

2015 Subaru Legacy 2. 5 engine. Fuel gauge is inaccurate. My daughter was on the highway when it ran out of fuel. Had car towed to a independent shop. They said that the fuel gauges is a problem for Subaru 's and that they had seen it before on other Subaru's.

3 Other Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 10/17/2018

When parking in a parking spot at a school going to work, the car accelerated on it's own and went up an embankment and struck a tree causing extensive damage.

4 Other Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 11/30/2017

Since November of 2017 while driving the car it has intermittently jerked and shook excessively, bucking like a mad horse. Car was brought in to dealer for diagnosis. Dealer was not able to identify the cause. After several visits to dealer where I was assured the problem was fixed the same problem continued. It should be noted that the car, while driving started to shut down and I needed to be towed to the dealer. Dealer claimed the problem was a faulty spark plug. Car was then returned to me. Yet again the problem persisted and had I to crawl like a turtle back to home. Car was towed again to dealer for another diagnosis. Now the dealer believes the problem is a faulty cylinder (whatever that means). I have no trust in the reliability of this vehicle and am concerned about the safety of driving this vehicle with my family. It be should be noted that the car has been serviced exactly to the instructions per the mileage guidance. I have reported this concern to Subaru of America corporate office. Case # 1-38872409282. Their response is unfair. I am now left with a car that is unsafe to drive and I should not be penalized financially.

5 Other Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 05/25/2016

My 2015 Subaru Legacy has at different times (at idle in gear, coming up to a red light while moving, pulling into a parking lot or driving at 45 miles an hour) accereated on its own and would not slow down untill I put it in nuetral. I have to drive with my hand on the shifter at all times to put into nuetral. I bought the car new in 2015 and have 13900 miles on it now in July 2016.

6 Other Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 05/02/2016

Gas cap lid does not open. We took the auto into dealership June 30, 2015 and gave them TSB-09-60-15. Mileage 5987. Temps in the 70's. They greased the gas lid contact. I indicated the TSB indicated something other than that. They took back into shop and ground down the lid release contact. Drove home. Tried to open gas cap lid and it would not open. We are concerned about driving auto any distance by oneself because it now takes two people to put gas into auto. One to pull up lever and one to pry open the lid on the outside. I am seeing numerous problems with several other Subaru models besides the Legacy. Such a simple manufacturing flaw should be able to be fixed. Love the auto but this is really really an annoying simple flaw. One person's comment on a TSB pertaining to this issue said if the lube and grinding does not fix the issue, the entire cap assembly needs to be replaced. I have not discussed this with the dealer yet. This issue happens in all temps. Currently 60 in garage and cap does not open. Mileage 10365.

7 Other Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 12/30/2015

Fuel door would not open at gas station. Tried many times. Drove home. Put car in garage. Had to hit door with hand and pry open while releasing latch in car.

8 Other Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 11/18/2015

Slowly pulling into a parking spot, when the car accelerated (unintended acceleration) into a brick wall. My passenger suffered 3 broken ribs from the seat belt, and I suffered whiplash, bruising from seat belt, and bruised knees. The air bags did not deploy. Subaru corp decided to do nothing, and suggested that I trade in the car, which I have only owned for a few weeks. Do they then sell it to some unsuspecting person. Please help. VIN 4s3bnel65f3009341.

9 Other Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 07/15/2015

Gas lid would not release after pulling the lever. This has happened mulitiple times prior without me realizing it was a problem because the second time I pulled the lever it would release - this last time it would not release even after multiple pulls - I had to push the gas door forward with the palm of my hand and then pry open.

10 Other Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 06/27/2015

At the first refueling of the car after purchase, the fuel door did not open when the lever was pulled. Eventually it did open after multiple attempts. At the second refueling of the car, approximately 450 miles after the first time, once again the door did not open. It opened finally after about 10 minutes with one person operating the lever and another forcing the door. The next day, the car was taken to the dealership where the fuel door pin was adjusted to rectify the problem.

11 Other Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 04/15/2015

At 300 miles, coming off highway, slowed down to 5 mph and went thru toll booth. I then stepped on gas, had hesitation, no response then acceleration. Happened again on 5/11/15 when I had 900 miles. Came off highway on to local streets. This time had 5-7 big hesitations over 10 minute period. Very dangerous because I was making a u-turn and car hesitated then accelerated as I was making u-turn !! returned car to dealer. Do not want to drive it until fixed.

12 Other Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 06/11/2014

From a slow roll making a right hand turn. Put my foot on the gas peddle and got no reply for about 3-4 second then the card pulled out very fast this often. Most of the time from a stop at a stop sign. No movement for about 3-5 seconds. Also, then jumps out fast. Took back to dealer. They could not find the problem. June 18, 2015 called main office of Subaru. . They sent me to a local dealer. June 24, 2015. Car with them for 2 days. No response. Very scarey.
