What owners wrote
My daughter was driving with my granddaughter and was hit from the rear, totaling my 2019 subaru outback. Both my daughter and granddaughter reported hitting the dashboard or the windshield. None of the airbags deployed and the driver's headrest ended up on the driver's lap. At the time of the accident, the front auto was about to start forward or had started forward when the signal light had just turned green.. The police report is attached, with a letter from the meridian, idaho police department.
Had my first oil change at 5,000 miles and at 9,600 my oil light came on. Went home and put 1 quart of oil in vehicle and was still down low. Took to dealer and they changed oil and noted I had still been low 1/2 quart. Filed case with suburu of america. Nowin process of oil consumption test, but, saw that dealership overfilled my oil so I had them drain it down to proper level and have to start calculation mileage again for test. Next problem. Passenger front door, froze in winter. Water inside car on floor.
