2024 Subaru Ascent Other Problems

When driving slowly in forward or reverse (below 5 mph) with a rear passenger door fully open, your car only shows a small "door ajar" icon on the dashboard. This icon looks the same whether the door is slightly ajar or completely open, so you can't tell how much danger you're in. A fully open door could hit pedestrians, poles, or other objects, and passengers sitting near it are at risk of injury.

While using CarPlay, it acts as if it disconnects the call, but still shows on my phone screen. It has happened numerous times, and I have found that if I switch it to phone and back to CarPlay it will work again. It has not been a solution to the problem as it only works for that one time. I believe that makes having the handsfree options pointless if I have to figure out what is happening while I am driving and talking on the phone with CarPlay.

The wireless car play phone connection randomly drops and is a known issue with Subaru. This a potential safety issue due to dropping calls mid calls that are hands free and encourage the driver to grab the mobile phone change it from air play to phone and then back to air play to fix it. Or take it off car option requiring the drivers attention to be diverted. Also this issue drops the navigation embedded into the radio unit on the car which could again create a safety issue distracting drivers and causing accidents. This needs to be addressed immediately and Subaru has no fix available.
