Warnings problems of the 2017 Subaru Outback

Was at a stop in the middle lane going to turn left, got hit straight head on by a driver driving in the middle lane. His air bags deployed, none of mine deployed. The front end and drivers side of the Subaru was impacted.

The eyesight system not functioning and at this point has not been repaired and is available for inspection. Warning notices were intermittent with warning sound’s coming on each time. Eventually the warnings came on nearly all the time. I was alone in the dark and very nervous. No other injury yes the vehicle was taken to dealer, also I took photos as it continued to intermittently occur. Yes there were warning notices that alerted me. Note: dealer states non oem windshield is cause , however windshield has been in vehicle fo nearly 2. 5 years with no issue. Other electrical issue has occurred since eyesight issue.

I was driving my 2017 Subaru Outback on a trip from new york to florida. On I-95 in heavy traffic I hit a bump in the road, and at that instant, nearly every warning light on my dash came on, including eyesight, lane departure, and emergency braking. My adaptive cruise immediately disengaged causing the vehicle to suddenly slow (this incident was at highway speed). The "brake" light was also illuminated. Not knowing what happened, I pulled over on the side of the highway and found that the wire to the electric parking brake on the passenger side had disconnected from the brake module. I tried to plug it back in, but it would not stay. I secured the cable with a hair tie and continued on the trip. Approximately 500 miles later, I hit another bump or pothole, and the same thing happened. I checked under the car again, and discovered that the driver side had failed in the same manner. I secured the cable with another hair tie and was able to complete my trip. When I returned home, I discovered that this is a known issue and there is a Subaru TSB published, 06-63-18r. There is no warranty on this issue, and I was charged nearly $750 to fix a known problem caused by a plastic retainer. In my opinion, this issue should be treated as a safety defect and subject to a recall to replace with the newer part. Having all of your vehicle assists suddenly fail at highway speed in heavy traffic is a disconcerting and dangerous event.

While driving at full speed on interstate 80 through sacramento CA while the outside temperature was 116 degrees, most of the more advanced systems of the car failed. I should have taken a picture of the control panel. I stopped the car and pulled out the user manual. Indicators illuminated included eye sight, check engine, tire pressure, and many many others. In fact, there were symbols on the dash that I could not find in the manual after extensive investigation. I attempted to drive the car after letting it cool down. The alerts persisted. I did check the tire pressure in all wheels and they were normal. The following day I checked the car in the morning (the temperature had subsided substantially) and the condition was still present. I made arrangements to go to the dealer, and upon getting into the car at about 2pm the indicators were all normal again. I did not go to the dealer. This may or may not be related to a prior issue which is covered in NHTSA complaint #11480372.

I experienced 2 incidences of sudden unexpected acceleration (sua), the second one led to an explosive collision. Subaru asked that I sign the edr release but refused to give me (rightful owner) a copy. With significant effort I obtained a copy of the edr for myself. It is near impossible for the consumer to obtain their rightful copy, significant because it stinks of poor transparency for Subaru to investigate Subaru (see below). Once I obtained my copy, I released the edr to Subaru and my vehicle was inspected by soa at our local dealership. For some untold reason, the vehicle would "not to be released to me" at the end of the day but was held for additional time at the dealership. Later customer "advocacy" informed me that the results of the investigation was that the throttle was active 1. 5 seconds prior to impact and that it was a case of "pedal misapplication". Because I also had the data I was acutely aware of how soa cherry picked data to match their own narrative. I know for a fact what happened considering all the data, together with the actual facts of this potentially fatal accident. I was pulling straight into the parking spot, yet the edr mistakenly "thinks" that the car is turning sharply to the right the entire time (edr shows this and why pbs not active). The electronic sensors are being fed erroneous information. With the steering wheel 'supposedly' at full lock, the power steering pump is told to spin faster to maintain pressure. The computer tries to pick up speed for this and sends an electronic message to open the throttle. The rpms suddenly surge and the vehicle explodes forward leaving only a fraction of a second to react before impact (at which point edr confirms brake was on). Intermittent failures in electronic sensors do in fact happen as experts know. Incredibly, soa refused to hear me. I am concerned for the safety of other Subaru drivers as well as those in the path of a Subaru sua incidence. Ignoring this can have fatal consequences.

While attempting to park in a parking spot with a concrete parking lot stop the car experience an unintended acceleration and did not engage the safety braking system causing the car to jump over the concrete parking lot stops and hit a light lost and concrete supporting barrier behind the concrete parking lot stop. There were no warnings and this caused injury to the driver and passenger. A police report is being issued as well as contact with the car manufacturer. This is the second time this unintended accelerated occurred however this is the first incident where damage to the car and injury occurred,.

My vehicle developed a crack that has transversed the entirety of the windshield, necessitating its replacement. The crack began on the lower left (driver's) side and moved across to the right (passenger's) side before curving back and upward toward the location of the rearview mirror. This has obscured the eye sight cameras and impaired the safety mechanisms in the vehicle. The vehicle was parked when the crack began with no precipitating damage observed to the windshield. The crack continued to grow over the course of several days. ~`````````````.

Vehicle was in motion on a highway when the driver heard the windshield crack. Driver never saw any item strike the windshield. Because eyesight sensors have to be recalibrated after a windshield replacement, this incident cost almost $1000 to repair.
