I have owned the 2020 Subaru Outback since December 2020. Staring in 2021 there have been problems with the lift gate not opening to where it now closes immediately after opening it. This occurs randomly and causes a dangerous situation where one never knows when it will happen. The car has been brought in for service four times over the last four years. Now, that it is out of warranty, and Royal Subaru, Cortland NY, charged us, two weeks ago, $170 to repair the dysfunctional lift gate. The problem was not fixed. The car was left at last Thursday for the repairing the lift gate which they didn’t fix. Subaru who now want to charge $991 to repair what the dealership was supposed to repair. The work had not been done as yet as it is a manufacturing defect, and a dangerous one at that. This Outback issue is not on my car alone as there have numerous online complaints about a malfunctioning lift gate problem. It’s a law suit waiting to happen as one (family members, grandchildren, friends) may not be aware that the lift gate may close upon their head causing a possible concussion or worse. There needs to be a recall before someone gets seriously hurt.

Defective windshields. The vehicle has been in my possession for 4 years. During these 4 years i've had 5 windshield replacements. 2 of which have been from rocks. 3 of which I have no idea what caused the damage, it seemingly happened out of nowhere while driving. This is well known (but not well dealt with) issue with Subaru vehicles with eyesight. People on multiple forums have the same issue, as do many people I know personally. Its a shame nothing has been done about this despite countless reports and complaints. This is a safety hazard.

When opening the sun roof cover I heard a "PING" noise like a mouth harp or piece of metal being flicked. Took it into dealer and they found the roof reinforcements (Most likely Part Number: 53700AN03A9P) had come loose and detached from roof structure. They are waiting on Suburu to agree to re-attached it (been two weeks)

Tl* the contact owns a 2020 subaru outback. The contact stated that while driving approximately 35 MPH the front driver's side windshield started to crack. The crack started from the lower section of the windshield.

Windshield continously cracks. The windshield is prone to cracking. Within two years I've had two windshield cracks

I noticed a crack in my front windshield for no reason, it looked like it had come up from under the hood on the drivers side and bent over to the passenger side. I had not hit any construction debris etc. within 4 days of a full replacement my front windshield was shattered again!

A 12 inch crack in the windshield appeared after I heard a loud sharp sound. The vehicle was in motion traveling 55 MPH on a four lane highway (briley parkway) in nashville, tennessee.

Bought brand new, in 5 months the windshield had a cracked windshield, not the impact strike spider type, but from the drivers side edge, straight line crack 2 feet long. The second time a crack, straight line type from the passenger edge. The vehicle was in motion both times, 50 miles an hour, no other vehicles around.

The windshield cracked in the garage while it was stationary. Nothing physically damaged the windshield and it cracked on its own. This happened twice on my 2017 subaru outback as well.

I was driving and my windshield just cracked.

2020 subaru outback. Consumer writes in regards to defective rear liftgate. *ld the consumer inadvertently activated the rear liftgate becoming trapped between the liftgate and garage door until it reached it's maximum open capability.

We were driving down hiway 50 near gunnison co when we heard a sharp sound followed by the windshield cracking. Within a few seconds, this was repeated but the cracking occurred in a different place on the windshield.

Driving on highway, 65 MPH. Hear a small "click." look over and discover a 6" crack in the windshield. I've been driving for 40 year and know what it sounds like when a stone hits the windshield.

Got into the car , shut the door and the rear window shattered. The car is two weeks old.
