| I have a 2003 subaru legacy sedan; and while traveling on roads with speed limits of 45 mph or more, i hear swishes from the 2 front windows. they sound as if i have them rolled down just slightly enough to where this constant, and very annoying, whooshing is heard. i travel on the highway everywhere i go, and this sound increases as velocity is increased. it's so i'm constantly checking the power buttons to my windows to see if i have them rolled up all the way. one day me and 3 other family members; rode in my car to spend the afternoon together and once we hit the highway, they all commented on the annoying noise. they even asked if my windows were rolled up tightly. most of the time, it's superlative to the music coming from my radio. **tr | |||

| I own a 2003 subaru legacy sedan. as i pick up speed you can hear an increasing wind noise coming from around the front 2 windows. at speeds of 65 mph and above it gets really bad and it starts sounding like a ref blowing his whistle. i take many trips on the interstate and it get really bad and it gets worse if the wind is blowing. this is the only problem i had other than the transmission hesitating and shifting hard upon starting off in drive. other than these 2 problems in is a great car. *nm | |||

| Broke tailgate window. glass shop indicated dealer-only item. dealer indicated no replacement windows existed in the united states. dealer also indicated they already had another similar vehicle in their shop that had already been waiting 3 weeks for a window, and they had no idea when one would come in. vehicle was less than 5 years old at time of incident. forced to get used tailgate/window from junkyard. no new replacement windows existed in the united states, even though the window was the same on both legacy wagons (like mine) and outback wagons, and was the same for at least several model years. in addition, the vehicle was even built in the u.s. window itself was not defective - problem was no available replacement parts. *tr | |||
