2018 Subaru Forester Body & Structure Problems

I was traveling on the highway when I heard a clunk and noticed that my hood had released and was bouncing against the hood safety release. I had not touched the hood release lever, and the hood was fully closed prior to coming unlatched. I have not had any prior accidents or work performed on the vehicle that might have affected the release mechanism.

Vehicle was being backed out of the garage to replace the trash can. After backing part way out of the garage when I put the car in gear it shot forward and I was unable to stop the vehicle until it hit the back garage wall. When the vehicle was then put into reverse it shot backwards, also.

Doors are rusting in areas where seam sealer was improperly applied. Water collects in these areas and rust is evident and perforating the metal, separating the inner and outer shell of the door. Dealership took the vehicle in for warranty and stated Subaru would not cover the defect until the rust had entirely perforated its way through the metal, leaving a hole.

The windshield cracked itself.

Cracking windshield once a year since last year.

I turned into a parking space covering the brake and came to a stop. I went to shift into park and when the gearshift lever started to move the car accelerated uncommanded and ran into the building.

Windshield cracked unexpectedly while going 35 MPH on a surface road.

Spontaneous crack in windshield

Parked the car in a protected lot. When I returned there was a 2-foot long crack down the middle of the top of the windshield. It required replacement with no help or coverage from subaru.

I was in stop and go traffic. I don't remember if I was taking foot off brake, or gas pedal. This happen within seconds.
