Engine · reported Nov 6, 2026
The vehicle is experiencing an active, unaddressed powertrain safety hazard involving rapid, unexplained engine coolant loss. The engine cooling system is actively consuming or leaking fluid, creating an immediate risk of catastrophic engine failure, sudden highway stalling, and a severe thermal hazard during my daily commute. The manufacturer (Subaru of America) and its authorized dealer network (Glassman Subaru) have actively delayed diagnostic testing past the vehicle's 60,000-mile powertrain warranty threshold. Glassman Subaru overfilled the coolant reservoir to mask the fluid loss and…

While driving down the interstate just before reaching the causeway tunnel, my moonroof exploded. I thought my car had been shot. I checked and did not see any damage to my car until I slid open the cover to the moonroof. It was shattered. Nothing was surrounding my car that could have hit or damaged the moonroof when it exploded.

Additionally, the eyesight function that prevents forward collisions did not alert for obstruction or stop the vehicle. I was able to put the vehicle in park and then tried to reengage the vehicle, but the brakes failed to respond. I was in the middle lane of a major highway. My vehicle could have harmed someone else, in addition to myself, and I was also at risk by being stopped in the middle of traffic. I could have died, had I been traveling at…
Forward Collision Avoidance · reported Aug 21, 2025
Vehicle will randomly break while driving when there is nothing in the way. This worries me that it will happen while driving on the highway. It seems to be happening more frequently.
