What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2017 subaru crosstrak. The contact stated that while driving approximately 35 MPH in the rain, the driver pressed the brake pedal but the vehicle did not stop causing the vehicle to crash into the rear of a second vehicle. During the incident the collision avoidance feature( 'eyesight') malfunctioned and did not stop the vehicle. The front end was severely damaged but the air bag did not deploy. A police report was taken at the scene and the vehicle was driven away.
When I put my 2017 subaru crosstrek in park, I can not take my keys out of the ignition. They are locked in. I have to put my foot back on the brake, put the car in neutral, then slam it into park again, and even then it doesnt allow the keys to turn all the way to pull them out. I have to do this several times, before the sensor realizes the car is in park and I can take my keys out.
