Pretty much since I purchased the vehicle the anti-skid lights, cruise control, parking brake & check engine lights will flash and will not go off. I was told to make sure the gas cap was tight and was also told to check the battery. Once when it was on I tried to press the parking brake to release and could not get it off at a traffic light and was nearly rear ended. It will randomly come on and sometimes stay on for weeks then go off and stay off for a few days. It comes on when car is started and does not usually go off.
High winds caused a loss of steering and the entire car was moved and I almost blew into a semi. This always happens in high winds (25- 30mph and above ). Internet bloggers call this " lane wandering" Subaru refuses to address this problem. I filed a cliam with Subaru of America and their response was "it has been determined that the vehicle is operating as designed". I am past the the date of being able to use the lemon law. The only option Subaru has given me is to trade-in the car with a $1500 discount toward a new one. I hesitate to do business with them again as there is a trust issue and I cannot, in good conscience,sell the car to someone else. It is very dangerous and I am afraid to drive it. I did speak to a gentleman with the same problem and he said Subaru bought back the car from him, however they refused to do that for me. I have been trying to resolve this problem with Subaru for a couple of years with no satisfaction. Here is a link that may be helpful. . Read more...
