Owners/service Manual problems of the 2016 Subaru Outback

The ignition key doesn't come out when in park. The gears can manually slip while in park (while moving the gear shaft). It's like the car doesn't recognize the gear �park�, while also the key gets stuck and will not come out. This happens numerous times a day.

I had an accident @ 5pm-entering a busy road from a driveway-hit the side door of a car racing lefttoright in front of me. My fault of course. I heard no beep warning from the so-called collision mitigation sysem (?), nor did I feel any braking. Subsequently I tested this feature in my driveway where I slowly drove the car forward toward my large garage, I would have hit the garage-no beep-no braking. Then, in a snow storm, I had to brake soasto not hit a large truck skidding in front of me. I missed hitting him by inches. Again, I heard no beep and felt no braking. Dealer tested this feature on my car by letting it go towards brushes in a carwash, I heard beep warning, but again felt no braking. Dealer said system is working properly. And so-I conclude that whenever I hear any kind of warning beeo, I should manually and quickly 'hit the brakes', no matter what. After all, I have to keep my eyes on the road for god's sake. I am not happy.

I took my 2016 Outback in to a dealer primarily because the passenger side blind spot detection was not functioning properly, acknowledging that it did work at times. I took in written documentation in the form of recorded occurrences of it malfunctioning, based on three trips on interstate highways totaling more than 150 miles. The documentation listed the type of highway, speed, miles driven, weather conditions (coulds, sun, rain, etc), vehicle cleanliness and the number of successful detections of other vehicles in the blind spot as well as the number of detections missed. It worked correctly well less than 50% of the time on each of the three trips. Detection on the driver¿s side seems to be fine. On two of the trips I had a second vehicle that I own follow me directly. That vehicle also has blind spot detection. While the Outback failed to detect more than 50% of the time, the other vehicle never failed to detect on either trip. The dealer I took the car to said they checked it out and it seemed to work fine. I considered that an insult to my intelligence. Further, through research on the web I can tell that at least several other Outback owners have experienced the exact same problem with detection on the passenger side of the vehicle. I believe that a safety system that is that unreliable presents more of a danger to the driver than not having one at all. While I understand from reading the owner¿s manual it can¿t be expected to be 100% accurate all the time, a detection rate that is consistently less than 50% is very poor performance. The vehicle cost more than $37,000. I paid for the accessory, and it should work.
