2008 Subaru Tribeca problems

“THE LATCH ON THE FRONT HOOD IS BROKEN IT WILL NOT CLOSE AND WHEN I DRIVE ON THE INTERSTATE GOING TO WORK I FEEL LIKE THE HOOD IS GOING TO FLY OPEN. ALSO THE GAS DOOR LATCH IS BROKEN AS WELL IT WILL NOT OPEN WHEN YOU PULL THE GAS DOOR LATCH. I WAS TOLD BY CREDIT KARMA THAT THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER AIR BAG ARE BOTH DEFECTIVE IN MOTION ON CITY AND HIGHWAY STREET”

“WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 95 APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE HOOD SUDDENLY OPENED CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE HOOD, ROOF AND SHATTERING THE WINDSHIELD COVERING MYSELF WIFE AND KIDS WITH GLASS. I COULD NOT SEE, BUT WAS ABLE TO BRING THE CAR TO A CONTROLLED STOP IN THE BREAK DOWN LANE. I SUBSEQUENTLY FOUND OUT ABOUT THE HOOD LATCH RECALL. I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH SUBARU AND MY INSURANCE COMPANY.”

“THIS ACCIDENT OCCURS IN QUERETARO, MX. I WAS DRIVEN IN A SECONDARY ROAD AND SUDDENLY MY SUBARU TRIBECA 2008 TURNED RIGHT AND FOR A WHILE I LOSE THE CONTROL. AFTER FEW SECONDS I COULD DRIVE MY CAR FORWARD AND STOPPED IT OUTROAD. THE SPECIALIZED ANALYSIS DETERMINED THAT THE LEFT LATERAL LINK WAS BROKEN. THIS LATERAL LINK WAS REPLACED IN MARCH 2012 BECAUSE ANOTHER ACCIDENT IN WHICH THE REAR LEFT SUSPENSION WAS BROKEN AND ALL PIECES THAT COMPOUND THE REAR SUSPENSION WERE REPLACED TOO. THE AGENCY IS WAITING FOR A NEW LATERAR LINK AND I'M WORRIED ABOUT THE QUALITY OF THE PIECE. FORTUNATELY THIS ACCIDENT DON'T PRODUCE FATAL VICTIMS. BUT IT COULD... *TR”

“After starting the vehicle in sub freezing temperatures the brakes would not work. After applying extreme pressure it was found that the brake would operate but without any power assist. The error "er bb" was displayed on the instrument panel. After applying the brakes several times, the power assist started working and braking was normal again. This condition has repeated several times after the vehicle sits in sub freezing temperatures for a period of time. I believe this may be caused by a frozen check valve in the vacuum line to the brake booster.”

“The contact owns a 2008 Subaru B9 Tribeca. The contact stated that while driving approximately 70 MPH, the front hood erroneously opened and slammed into the front windshield causing the windshield to shatter. The cause of the failure was not determined. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was informed that the vehicle was not included in the NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V060000 (Structure, Latches/Locks/Linkages). The contact indicated that the vehicle had experienced the failure listed in the recall. The local dealer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 93,507.”

“THIS CAR WAS SHAKING AT A SPEED OF 60 MILES. AFTER TAKING IT TO CHECK IN SEATTLE'S CARTER SUBARU WASHINGTON FIVE TIMES, THE CAR BECAME VIBRATING AT A SPEED OF 40 MILES. A DAY AFTER IT DEPARTURE, IT WAS SHIPPED TO TAMPA FLORIDA BECAUSE OF MY UNIVERSITY. UPON RECEIPT THE CAR WAS OIL-FREE, AND ALL THE SAFETY LIGHTS WERE CAUGHT. THE CAR STARTED TO VIBRATE, AND THERE WAS NO LONGER ENOUGH CAPACITY TO PUSH AND THE TIRES BEGAN TO FALL. MASTRO SUBARU REFUSED TO FIX THE PROBLEM EXCEPT BY PAYING MONEY. AFTER RESEARCH, I DISCOVERED THAT THIS CAR IS NOT THE ONLY ONE AND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN ALL CARS OF THIS TYPE. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THERE IS MANY RECALLS IN THIS CAR ONE OF THEM IT IS (VDC) VEHICLE DYNAMIC CONTROL. NOW THE CAR SO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE, I PARKED THE CAR AND NO MONEY TO DO ANYTHING. PLEASE I NEED HELP , I HAVE THREE KIDS.”
