""the headlights are TERRIBLE and my dealer will not do anything and neither will Subaru USA. I do not feel safe driving at night, I only have about 20' visibility. I watched an online video and changed them myself but they are better but still not good. And now, 2nd, the sunroof is leaking whenever it rains. Yesterday I had about 1" of water in the back seat and now it is starting to smell moldy. I'm going to try to sell it.""

""A/C worked last summer, but the first time I turned it on in 2025 it blew very hot air. I have had the problem intermittently since then but the weather hasn't been consistently hot yet. I am 90 minutes from the dealer and don't want to waste an entire day taking it in until I'm sure they can diagnose it.""

"Dye was added to the A/C system when it was found to be low on freon. There was 3 leaks in the piping. Two at connections, one in the pipe."
