2007 Subaru B9 Tribeca: problems, recalls and reliability

“Serious, health hazard and a very dangerous problem arise with my smelling gasoline in the interior of car. It happens when tank is full and as soon as it drops to about 3/4 it stops, imagine the tank is full and the fumes are saturated in the car. The smell is overwhelming.even with the windows cracked. Very very dangerous. Why is there not a recall when on line a large population of people has the problem. Or does a couple cars have to explode with the gasoline issue before a recall is done. This needs immediate attention. Thanks as long as the tank is full it smells whether it is parked or moving. Would be afraid to go on highway for fear of explosion.”Owner report · Fuel/Propulsion System · Dec 2017

“"takata recall" I purchased this car because of the options. One being the passenger seat can be adjusted for my handicap passenger. Since july 2016 I have not been using this feature due to the possibility of it being hazardous if it was to inflate. But my handicap passenger finds it difficult to access the car's backseat.. May can be done to have this be put on a priority list. This car also needed to be repair for the other recall involving the hood lock and catch. Luckily the accident was not fatal. But I was without a car for 2 months. So, this is my complaint . *tr”Owner report · Air Bags · Jul 2016

“I was driving my 2007 subaru tribeca b9 to work on the freeway at 65mph when the hood flew open and shattered my windshield. I was in heavy rush hour traffic on a 4 lane major interstate. I could not see at all. I was in one of the middle lanes and nearly caused a major accident with an 18-wheeler that was behind me and had to lock up his brakes to avoid crashing into me. I see there are several complaints of this issue and there should have been a recall to repair this item. I have been a huge subaru fan for many years and this is the 3rd....and last one....for me.”Owner report · Structure · Jul 2015
