| I was driving on interstate 90 in idaho at 62 mph when the hood latch failed. the hood was secured down all the way before the incident and had not been opened in two weeks. there had been over 100 miles of highway driving over 60 mph since the hood was last opened. the hood flew up with no safety catch or hesitation and slammed into the windshield. the windshield was shattered, the hood bent and the roof dented. the rear view mirror flew off inside. i was able to get to the side of the road and the person following me on the interstate pulled over and helped me tie it down to be able to leave the scene. we both determined it was latch failure. it had the potential to cause a serious accident as my front vision was completely blocked. | |||

| As my wife and i were filling up our 98 subaru legacy outback we noticed a smel of gas fumes on the way home as i backed the car into the driveway i noticed the smell of fuel even stonger. i went to the back and looked under the right rear and to my surprize the fuel filler neck was leaking fuel!! i placed a oil change pan underneath and to this day i still haven't fixed it.. don't know were to begin with it and i'm thinking it's a design flaw seems like there is heavy corrision on the very low part of the filler pipe and thats were it's leaking from. i'm going to try and have it repaired but at what cost. i think that this should be addressed to and by subaru of north america as a potentially dangerous design flaw and legal liabilty. | |||
