While backing up, your car displayed a SiriusXM advertisement pop-up that blocked your rear camera view and froze the entire infotainment system, creating a dangerous distraction. The pop-up prevented you from seeing behind your vehicle until you could clear it from the screen. This type of advertisement blocking safety features during driving is a serious concern that should be addressed through a software update to prevent ads from interrupting critical safety functions.

Sirius XM advertisements are covering your entire infotainment screen, blocking access to car data and navigation features. You have to look away from the road and tap a small X button to close these ads, and sometimes you've had to turn off the car completely to make them disappear. This creates a serious distraction while driving that could lead to unsafe situations.

While driving at 65 MPH, an advertisement suddenly appeared on your infotainment screen and took over the display, forcing you to interact with the screen to get back to normal functions. This blocked access to your infotainment safety features and created a distraction while driving. Subaru had enabled product advertisements to display on your infotainment system. Fixing this will likely require a software update or adjustment to disable advertisements from appearing while the vehicle is in motion.

Your car's infotainment system displays advertisement pop-ups for Siri radio while you're driving, which can distract you from using navigation and other important functions. This appears to be a software or system integration issue rather than a hardware problem. A software update or adjustment to the infotainment system settings may be needed to disable these pop-ups.

Since purchasing the vehicle, I have had numerous problems with the lane departure warning. It is inconsistent on a daily basis. The only time it responds the way it is supposed to, is if there is average light and very vivid road/lane markings. It sometimes does not respond to yellow lines in the road unless they are very vivid. It often misses white lines unless there is a strong contrast to the road. When it rains, all systems on my dashboard show that they are off and the word "EYESIGHT" has a slash through it. There have been some instances where the car has not turned off, despite pushing the control repeatedly...and not allowing me entrance to the car despite the key in my hand and trying to open the locked car.
