Subaru Legacy

""Within the last 3 months the display often freezes and can't be "unlocked" unless the car is stopped, engine off and drivers door opened. Recently received notice from Subaru about extending the warranty on the head unit on both this Legacy and my Ascent. I have scheduled appointment in May at Subaru Dealer to examine the system to repair or replace.""

"happens occasionally. will freeze and sometimes press buttons on its own"

"Starting in 2025, display screen started freezing up rendering all related functions un-useable. When diagnosed, Subaru estimated cost of repair to be around $2,600.00 but decided to replace the radio at no cost. While waiting for the radio to arrive, Subaru announced an extended warranty for this repair."

"The screen became unworkable and would randomly sense touches and go to different screens there was eventually a recall and the screen was replaced"

""It started off with some slight "bubbling" under the touch screen, after a few hot days in the summer. Within a few weeks of first noticing the "delaminating" of the screen, it eventually went haywire and became totally useless - could not control anything - no gps, no radio, no bluetooth phone, no climate control, etc. The touch screen undoubtedly had a manufacturing defect. Started just over 3 years after purchase - right outside the warranty period. Subaru said they will reimburse me under extended warranty.""

"The whole radio system needed replacing."

"iPhone plugged in via lightning cable would not consistently play as MP3 player or connect as CarPlay. Sometimes audio would completely drop out which was fixable with complete deep reboot of the audio unit. Class action provided software update that seems to have fixed the problems."

"Frequently has issues connecting to android auto that sometimes requires rebooting of the display unit to fix (different than turning the car on and off again). Far less frequent, the display has completely frozen independent of any external interface (i.e. it will freeze with static image from the backup camera while reversing), and putting it back into drive does not solve the issue. Restarting the car does not solve the issue. You need to know how to force a reboot of the heads up display to resolve the issue."

"The whole radio needed replacing- nothing worked properly- including the screen"

"A red light on my automatic crash detection indicated it would not work? If an accident occurred and I wasnt able to call. After a lot of diagnosis was determined that the satellite antenna on top of the car had gotten cracked and that was the problem. I complained mightily to Subaru before I knew it was damaged causing the problem. Subaru stepped up and contributed $500 to the repair. I love Subaru!"

""The touchscreen display cracked with dozens of cracks. The touchscreen now self-triggers and selects buttons, especially on hot days.""

"sometimes phone does not connect"

"Radio cannot access Sirus due to antennae problems which they have tried to fix. Sirus says it is a Subaru issue."

"Passenger air bag light. It was reported and they were "looking into it" but did not contact us for an update. When we returned, it had never been noted by the technician and was now past warranty. It was fixed at cost."
