2009 Subaru Legacy owner complaints

Takata airbags-- incident not mv related-- beaurucratic issue. I have received no help getting my airbags replaced. Tried several dealers. Their lies do not match up. Getting the run around. Very upset. Unacceptable service or lack there of, really.

Received NHTSA recall no. 16v-358 back in june 2016. Have not been contacted by Subaru since to replace the airbag and it says not to have a passenger in the front seat, which is difficult for over 4 months.

My airbag warning light has periodically gone off & on over the last 2 years. I currently have less than 45,000 miles on it. Of course the day I had an appointment with Subaru, the light would not appear. Hoping airbag will work if ever in an accident. *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2009 Subaru legacy. While driving approximately 50 MPH the vehicle was involved in a crash and the air bags did not deploy. The seat belt also failed to hold her firmly. A police report was filed. The contact as well as the passenger of another vehicle were reported injured. The vehicle was destroyed and towed to an insurance lot. The vehicle was not examined for the cause of failure and was not repaired. The failure and current mileages were 18,000.

Takata recall -- Subaru will not tell me if my car has a takata airbag, but only that I am not currently on the recall list.

I got an airbag recall in the mail, international Subaru in orland park wants to charge me for this recall.

Airbag dashboard cluster light started being intermittent and now on all the time. Does it mean the sensor is bad or the airbag. Since the car mat be part of the takata recall. I am not sure what the issue is

Starting in fall of 2014 the passenger airbag light would go on & off intermittently; during the following winter the light rarely came on. Once warm weather hit in may of 2015 the light continually stays on. There seems to be no correlation to the passenger seat being occupied or not occupied. In light of the recent airbag recall for earlier Subaru models, Subaru may want to check into their 2009 models as there appears to be several other similar instances recorded on this site. I'm concerned about the safety issue (not knowing if the bag will deploy properly, if at all) & do not have thousands of dollars for repair costs of something that appears to be happening in other like vehicles.

Following traffic and under heavy braking due to lead vehicle braking hard and making turn without turn signal, brake pedal went to floor and vehicle continued traveling forward resulting in rear end collision with vehicle in front. Upon inspection at dealership both rear brake lines found to be corroded badly and sever leakage from both left and right rear brake lines. Corrosion & weeping also noted by dealership body shop on both lines coming out of vehicle from under rear seat above fuel tank. The corrosion and leakage matches with recall campaign ID: 14V311000.

Under Subaru campaign WQK47, which supersedes an earlier campaign, 05-09 Legacy/Outback and other models are known to undergo accelerated brake line corrosion due to sub-par materials and design. Subaru of America's "fix" for this issue is to inspect the lines: if the lines are compromised, they replace them. If the lines are corroded but not yet compromised, the lines are coated with an anti-corrosion wax. This wax washes off the car and is ineffective. Subaru performed this recall work insufficiently on my vehicle, failing to identify the severity of the corrosion. They coated the lines, called it "fixed", and the brake lines later ruptured under normal driving conditions. This caused a highway near-miss at speed that could have impacted everyone on the road.

I was driving the vehicle at highway speed when indicator lights came on in the display area. Odometer was just over 83,000 miles. The engine began to make noise as though accelerating but there was no change in gear and the vehicle lost speed and engine continued running leading to near accident. Vehicle was towed to dealership. They found trans code p0766 and reprogrammed the transmission.

This occurred after no previous transmission problems and transmission fluid replacement approximately 20,000 mi prior. Transmission oil pan was removed and cleaned. The cooling system was flushed.

I was driving on a local highway at around 55 MPH which is just under the posted 65 MPH limit. Suddenly the hood opens and slams into the windshield. It scared the heck out of me, but I was able to maintain control and pull over despite the surrounding traffic. It could have been a lot worse. Once safely on the side of the road, I sat for a few minutes before getting out since I was shaken a bit. I then checked on the damage. The windshield cracked in several places and the hood sustained multiple dents. I was able to re-latch the hood and drove home slowly for fear that it might happen again. I contacted Subaru customer service to inform of the incident and inquire if there was any type of recall or report on hoods releasing while driving. The rep stated there were no recalls or

I was driving my 2009 Subaru legacy sedan on a rural highway on my usual daily commute to work. It was december 18, 2019 in montana, so cold, but not unusually cold, and it was sunny . I was driving for about 50 minutes, and was probably going around 65-70mph, when I heard a loud noise above me like an explosion. I looked up and saw an oblong, somewhat rectangular, hole in my sunroof that was probably around 8-9 inches long and probably about 4 inches wide at its widest. The rest of the sunroof was also shattered, though still intact. Looking at the sunroof from outside, however, the shattering was less evident. I immediately looked ahead of me to see whether there was a truck or something from which something could have flown off and hit my sunroof. There was a passenger car that

2009 Subaru Legacy 2.5I Parasitic Drain If vehicle is not driven every 2-4 days in winter or every 6-8 days when is warmer it will need a jump start. I looked for a recall but there isn't one for the year of my car or for the Fourth Generation 2005-2009 series. I took it to the dealer 4 times and they said there was nothing wrong the first two times. On the 3rd time they said it was my problem was that the battery was old and to prove them wrong I got one of their Subaru brand/label batteries and the same problem kept happening. I took it to one more mechanic with the same results. I keep seeing this articles on blogs online about Subaru's from multiple years and series having Parasitic Drain issues. I do have the receipts pack in boxes if need it.
