I WAS DRIVING AND SUDDENLY HEARD A LOUD THUMP. I LOOKED AROUND AND BEHIND ME AND DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING OR ANYONE AROUND THEN I HEARD A CRACKLING SOUND COMING FROM MY ROOF SO I SLIGHTLY OPENED MY SUNROOF VISOR TO SPOT BROKEN GLASS SO I CLOSED THE VISOR SLOWLY IN CASE ANY LOOSE GLASS WAS PRESENT. I PULLED OVER TO LOOK FROM THE TOP AND SAW THE ENTIRE SUNROOF WAS SHATTERED. THE GLASS LOOKED AS IF IT HAD 'EXPLODED.'

IF ALL DOORS ARE LOCKED AND I AM INSIDE THE VEHICLE, I CANNOT OPEN THE DOOR BY PULLING THE DOOR OPEN LEVER. I HAVE TO OPEN ALL DOORS WHICH ARE ELECTRICALLY OPERATED BY A BUTTON ON THE DOOR, AND THEN OPEN THE DOOR WITH THE LEVER. I AM WORRIED THAT IF THE BATTERY IS DEAD OR THE DOOR OPEN SWITCH IS SHORTED IN A FLOOD, THEN I CANNOT GET OUT BY OPENING THE DOOR.

THE CRACKED IS ABOUT 18 INCHES LONG, EXTENDING FROM THE PASSENGER LOWER SIDE ALL THE WAY TO THE DRIVER LOWER SIDE. THE WINDSHIELD ALSO APPEARS TO BE DEFECTED AS IT GATHERS MOISTURE, HAS POOR ROAD/WIND NOISE BLOCKAGE CAPABILITIES AND CRACKS EASILY.

SINCE I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN MARCH 2019 I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS. IT HAS BEEN IN FOR SERVICE 5 TIMES AND EACH TIME I TOLD THEM SOMETIMES WHEN YOU PUSH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL THE ENGINE STUTTERS OR MISFIRES. SOME TIMES IT DOES NOT EVEN RESPOND TO PUSHING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THIS IS INFREQUENT AND THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO EXPERIENCE IT. BUT, IT DOES EXIST AND I AM AFRAID ABOUT THE SAFETY. FOR EXAMPLE I WAS AT A STOP SIGN AND STARTED TO TURN LEFT AND I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND IT WENT ABOUT TEN FEET AND WOULD NOT GO FURTHER. I PUMPED THE PEDAL AND TWO OR THREE SECONDS LATER IT MOVED. SUBARU TOLD ME I COULD TRADE IT IN AND THEY WOULD GIVE ME $2000 TOWARDS A NEW CAR ALONG WITH A TRADE IN VALUE OF $18,500 THIS IS HORRIBLE. I FEAR THE SAFETY BUT ALSO DON'T WANT TO SPEND ANOTHER $8 ,000 FOR A VEHICLE I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO BUY. ON THE SECOND VISIT TO THE DEALER FOR SERVICE AND PROBLEM WITH ENGINE THEY SAID THERE WAS TOO MUCH OIL IN THE ENGINE. THEY WERE THE ONLY ONES WHO TOUCHED THE OIL THAT WAS PUT IN THE ENGINE SINCE THE DAY I BOUGHT THE CAR. THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT NO ONE IS HELPING ME WITH. ALSO, I DID HAVE A RECALL FOR THE NEED TO UPDATE THE ENGINE COIL SOFTWARE PROGRAMING.
