"The panic alarm for several weeks kept going off after I locked the car. Nearby Subaru dealer said he'd never heard of it. Strange to say, the problem seemed to disappear after a while."

"Couldnt open the drivers door from the inside! Have to roll down the window to use the outside latch to open the door - or exit from the passenger side."
Anonymous A., OR (2020 Subaru Impreza Limited 2.0-L 4 Cyl)AC compressor, blower (fan) motor, condenser, evaporator, heater system, automatic climate system, electrical failure, refrigerant leakage.
"The ac hasnt been very cold for the past 2 or 3 years, Ive noticed as a passenger (wifes car). She doesnt use the ac very much at all and she wasnt in a hurry to get it looked at except for my insistence to get it looked at while under the (extended) warranty. We brought it to the dealership to get it looked at and they said it was short 6 ounces of refrigerant out of 17 or 18 ounces it should have. After they added refrigerant it wasnt much better than when we brought it in, but again she couldnt be bothered to bring it back in (because she hardly ever uses the ac and its much more important to me as a passenger). There must still be a leak in it because the ac in my car, 2018 Forester, is twice as cold as hers and its two years older! I dont think they ever checked for leaks and just added Freon to fix it."
