 Description of the problemIn january of 2015, i purchased a new 2015 subaru legacy with the latest safety features and equipment. Within 3 months of purchase of the legacy beginning in april of 2015 the radio/navigation/driver assistance display console began to lock up and become non-operable after about 15 minutes of operation.

At about the same time as we were discovering this, the dealer called to tell us that the computerized inventory accounting system had flagged the mismatch between our model and the radio/navigation console that had been installed in my subaru. We returned the car to the dealer again and for the second time a new and correct model radio/navigation console was installed. We now had access to the navigation system screen and maps again going into the fall of 2015 and for the rest of the winter everything seemed to be working fine.
