I hit the guard rail going 35 mph on an exit ramp because of the low visibility because of the safety recall. I went to get the recall fixed when I found out and they refused to fix the recall because my bumper is messed up.

I had purchased a subaru impreza 2017 in june of 2017. Since leaving the parking lot with the car I've experienced all the info entertainment issues. I have a weird engine ticking noise. The vehicle will continue to accelerate. It has never gone out of control. However the 'forward' momentum/ inertia that's created by the engine doesn't disperse correctly thru the exhaust as it should. The vehicle is a 5 speed manual and if I don't shift down to neutral when stoping then I won't stop where I'm judging to. The car will feel as if it's sliding over the brakes. You also may have to power brake with the clutch as I do regularly. Since having all these issues. When ever I'd go to a dealer they would say some jargon about how if they have to turn a screw that's not a part of the part being fixed under warranty or a recall then that would have to be paid for. I was told I can have my car serviced but they don't know what they will have to do. Pretty much taking me for a ride of 'fear mongering' and saying put your hand on this table and let's play the knife game...poke! I would be put in a very tough situation with no guarantee. The dealer did this so they wouldn't have to do work and not get paid. Because they loose money as a dealer for recall work. They are not subaru at all. All in all now I'm told to have my car taken to service for all the numerous recalls/lawsuits attached to my car. Even tho now I'm past my warranty (120,000). And there saying the same bs as they will charge for everything not associated to the effected parts. All necessary means to address the effected parts should be associated with the recall. I have been scamed. The whole time every issue was either under warranty or recall and they never honor it. If they do. They will fix whatever has a scratch and charge you saying it was required. It's all a game. They are con artists!!!

There are two separate issues with this vehicle which has not been resolved through dealers help and no recalls have been issued yet for these problems. First: the engine stalls around 16 to 11 MPH. The acceleration slows down rapidly after 16-15mph then it ramps up at 13mph and then slows down around 11 MPH speeds. This issue has been persistent since the ownership of the vehicle. The federal safety agency needs to look into this problem since it can be a potential safety risk and can cause accidents. Second: the battery on this vehicle was dead suddenly over night without any visible clues. No map or dome lights were kept on. The vehicle was switched off properly and next morning the battery was dead. Somewhere in the vehicle (the suspect is infotainment system) the battery is draining. This has happened twice and had to change the batteries. These issues are huge safety hazards that needs to be address immediately.

The low-oil light has illuminated twice within the first 11,400 miles. Subaru of america has told that this oil consumption is normal. However, we find it excessive and potentially dangerous. We never would have purchased the car if we had known about its oil consumption. Subaru should place a window sticker warning drivers to carry extra oil to prevent getting stranded with a blown engine.

I was about to make a left turn at the light when car suddenly stalled. Brought it to liberty subaru dealership the next day and tech release it as safe to drive after they claimed to fix the main relay. A minute after I left the dealership car stalled again near the train tracks. The 2017 subaru impreza is hazardous, unsafe, and life threatening. This time liberty subaru said they have to rewire the engine. I am not comfortable driving this car with my children. It is not safe for me, my family, and other drivers.
