Description of the problem | I did a test drive of the subaru impreza 2017 premium wagon at a seattle-area dealership. I noticed that the car door did not lock completely or opened by itself while the car was in motion. I noticed that i am not the only one who sees this safety issue. There are others who have reported the same or similar problem on subaru owners forum. Here are two links to review to see this issue being discussed: http://www. Impreza5. Com/forum/9-2017-impreza-general-discussion-forum/3281-impreza-door-closing-only-when-slammed. Html http://www. Impreza5. Com/forum/138-5th-gen-impreza-issues-problems/2586-passenger-front-door-opens-itself. Html i think this is a safety problem, because in my case the door was ajar or opened while i was on a freeway. This needs to be investigated and problem fixed before the problem manifests in either the driver, passenger or property being damaged. |
