I just hit my my first major issue... When I start the vehicle, the engine sputters and very roughly tries to idle while the headlights flash rapidly and the driver display rapidly displays "Service Active Damping System," "Auto Emergency Breaking (AEB) Unavailable, Service Required," and "Park Break Temporary Unavailable." I tried starting the vehicle probably a dozen times yesterday and had the same result each time. This happened a couple times around 1800 miles, and I thought that the triggering event was that I forgot to put it in park before pressing the off button... But I managed to get the vehicle started and the next day the check engine light cleared and it was running fine so I didn't bother taking it in. Now at 2k it's inoperable, and I have no idea what could be causing it to misfire and stall.
Anyone else seen this behavior at all?
The other major issue is with the roadside assistance. This part is a little bit of a rant.... But it's totally warranted. I pressed the button and tapped the roadside assistance option on the display, and it took four tries before anything worked. When it did finally make a call, I was connected to Subaru Roadside Assistance - they transferred me to Jeep/Chrysler Roadside Assistance which was an automated system that sent me a text message to fill out a request on a website. After I filled out the form and submitted it, the website told to stay by my phone as someone would contact me shortly... Four hours later and no call back I called the roadside assistance number again and manged to get ahold of a human who indicated that there was no open roadside assistance request. At this point I decided I would rather call AAA since I know they're dependable. Fortunately, the vehicle is in my garage so I scheduled a tow to the dealership for today.
