At the first refueling of the car after purchase, the fuel door did not open when the lever was pulled. Eventually it did open after multiple attempts. At the second refueling of the car, approximately 450 miles after the first time, once again the door did not open. It opened finally after about 10 minutes with one person operating the lever and another forcing the door. The next day, the car was taken to the dealership where the fuel door pin was adjusted to rectify the problem.

Gas lid would not release after pulling the lever. This has happened mulitiple times prior without me realizing it was a problem because the second time I pulled the lever it would release - this last time it would not release even after multiple pulls - I had to push the gas door forward with the palm of my hand and then pry open
From a slow roll making a right hand turn. Put my foot on the gas peddle and got no reply for about 3-4 second then the card pulled out very fast this often. Most of the time from a stop at a stop sign. No movement for about 3-5 seconds. Also, then jumps out fast. Took back to dealer. They could not find the problem. June 18, 2015 called main office of subaru.. They sent me to a local dealer. June 24, 2015. Car with them for 2 days. No response. Very scarey.
At 300 miles, coming off highway, slowed down to 5 MPH and went thru toll booth. I then stepped on gas, had hesitation, no response then acceleration. Happened again on 5/11/15 when I had 900 miles. Came off highway on to local streets. This time had 5-7 big hesitations over 10 minute period. Very dangerous because I was making a u-turn and car hesitated then accelerated as I was making u-turn !! Returned car to dealer. Do not want to drive it until fixed.
Almost every time I fill up with gas, when the gas pump shuts off there is a back splash of gas out of the tank. I would say anywhere from 1 to 3 ounces of gas splashes out. Depends on the pressure it's being filled at. I talked to my dealer about it and was told that is common for subaru legacy's.
