Unknown or Other · reported Dec 16, 2025
A SiriusXM advertisement popping up over navigation on the infotainment screen distracting the driver from focusing on the road.

Other owners of a modern Subaru vehicle have reported this issue to the dealership and were told they cannot do anything about it.
