Warning Problems of Subaru Outback - part 2

This 2020 Subaru Outback touring xt ran well for the first 10,000 miles. We were informed it had a recall and this was corrected 1/06/2021 by carboone's Subaru in utica, NY. After the recall repair when the adaptive cruise and adaptive steering are engaged if the vehicle appeared to leave its lane the warning message is �put your hands on the steering wheel�. Before this it was �lane departure�. If the adaptive steering is not engaged the warning remains �lane departure�. This behavior happens on all roads when the adaptive steering and adaptive cruise can be engaged. It occurs at all speeds. This warning to put your hands on the wheel occurs when your hands are on the wheel and is not consistent with what is happening (lane departure) nor what the vehicle warnings are when not using the adaptive steering. This presents a confusing picture to the driver and could lead to an inappropriate response to what is happening and cause an accident. Subaru's response to the change of warnings is �this is normal behavior�.

The windshield on my 2019 Subaru Outback has cracked twice since I leased it on 4/11/2019. The cracks require the windshield to be replaced and the driver assist features to be recalibrated. Each cracked occurred when the car was in motion on the highway.

My 2020 Subaru Outback had its windshield cracked while traveling on a texas highway (south padre - austin) on Dec 27, 2020. The crack started small and grew quickly over the course of the travel to almost 20 inches. The windshield had to be replaced, which was expensive, considering the eyesight safety systems needed to be recalibrated. I have traveled over 200k miles in the us in multiple cars but never experienced a cracked windshield that happened so quickly and spontaneously as it happened on the Subaru Outback. I understand that this could be a one-off experience but reading more about the pending lawsuit on defective windshields made me submit this complaint.

Brand new 2021 Outback premier @ 647 miles and while parked overnight in our private driveway we noticed that the windshield had cracked the next morning. Less than 7 days of ownership dealer claims it was a rock chip . The windshield is split down the middle of the screen. Dealer response is insulting. Especially since they know this is an issue with the glass. Dealer pushed their expensive insurance to cover when we purchased the car. We did not know this was a recurring issue at this time with the cars. If we had known we would not have purchased this car. It will always be an issue. Will it crack again? who pays, will it leave us stranded somewhere? Subaru does not appear to be willing to stand by its product and take care of its customers.

I had the car only 10 days from the dealership, my husband and I were on the highway heading to an event when we heard a crack, I looked up and there was a horizontal crack heading from left to right in the windshield.

Cracked windshield which we had repaired on 10/1/2020 for $821. 71. Crack appeared seemingly from nowhere on the morning of 9/22/20.

Constant check engine, no adas functions and multiple codes and hud indicators including ckengne, xmode flashing, adas disable and major elecrtical parasitic draw and transmission and overheating. I believe the past major leg relay was replaced during first recall, it was not performed correctly and tied into accesssorry aux into same wiring. Defrost/ ac failure and clutch hums upon shutting down.

I purchased the lease for the vehicle in January 2020. I first notified Subaru in austin of an obvious "glitch" with the computer operating system in April 2020.

On April 29 2022 a clear night and a suitably clean vehicle, the rab system completely failed to recognize/notify/respond to a mailbox behind me, upon impact the mailbox broke the rear windshield. On June 28 2022 the vehicle fails to start, and is "surging" completely draining a new jumper box, and then promptly burning it out, the box will no longer operate.
