Full screen ads inhibiting, stopping, and blockingfunctionality unless interacted with from a third party service that was forcibly installed by dealership/manufacturer.
While driving home after work on the interstate, I was quite startled to see a large popup on the vehicle's main screen; initially I thought it might be some sort of vehicle-problem, but it was a large advertisement for free access to siriusxm for a limited time. The ad covered the screen and was quite jarring while driving in traffic. In order to close it, I pressed a red x in the upper corner. Such in-vehicle advertisements should not be presented while driving (actually, at any time).
Voice command in my 2023 Legacy is not working. I can not speak into system to say call a person already entered without taking hands off steering wheel. Already reported to dealer & to corporate Subaru & it is a known issue. Reference # with corporate is 250620-1900992. This was reported to dealer in June 2025 when in for service & no fix has been noted other than Subaru is working on it? feature built into car at purchase is thus useless & seems like a safety issue if I can’t use hands free when driving.
