Car stalling at stops. Received a report on all work done on this car stating issues with catalytic converter and that Subaru repaired before I bought the car. I also had loss of all brakes when the lines leaked out November 2022 . I had brakes repaired cost of $1000. So far since buying this car I have not been able to drive the car because of the stalling issues.
Went to local suburb dealership and was expecting a free loaner vehicle but was not and that was in the recall so they local dealership did not deliver the service that they were supposed to fix for the recall!.
Dashboard is very sticky as though melting. Noticed for over a year now and getting worse.

I contacted the local dealership, where we purchased this car. They told me they do have the parts but are not fixing all cars so I am on a list and can not get my car in for many months. Meanwhile my husband and children still drive this car. They said in August approx. 6 months after I tried to get them to fix it we are on the schedule.

Takata recall. On 7/29/16 we received notice of the recall from Subaru of America. We contacted hansel Subaru in santa rosa to schedule the replacement. They said they did not have the replacement parts and put us on a waiting list. I've tried to call them again 10/13/16 & left voice message, sent them email 10/14/16. Hansel is not returning calls or answering calls to their service dept. I called the Subaru of America number today, 10/17/16 and only got a busy signal. As instructed, we are not using the front passenger seat. This is a real inconvenience and we are frustrated with the delay in getting the replacement. .
Takata recall: I received notice of this recall on July 27, 2016. Within two hours of receipt I went to classic Subaru of atlanta (7700 roswell rd. , atlanta, GA) to drop off my car for this recall. I was told that the replacement parts were on back order until December 2016 and that until then I should continue to drive the vehicle without anyone in the passenger seat. Over five months lead time to repair a known safety risk should not be acceptable.
The airbag light stays on all the time.
