 Description of the problemJust purchased this car (2015 subaru legacy premium) a month ago. Am getting water into the engine compartment from merely car washing and i assume from rain as well. This is due from the lack of proper weather stripping on both the right and left side of the hood. My dealership has been advised and i am awaiting to hear if any resolution. The following was listed on a website from another current owner: 2015 legacy - water / snow entering top of engine bay & burning smell hi fellow 2015 legacy owners. Has anyone else discovered this design / safety / mechanical defect yet? I live in the northeast usa; owned my 2015 legacy for about 3 months, and have been smelling the engine burning since i purchased. At first, the dealer said the smell was caused by the rustproofing sprayed on the exhaust, however during a snow storm i discovered snow & water entering the top of my engine bay, drenching / flooding over electrical & mechanical components and causing the toxic burning smell from the burn off of deicing chemicals / salts used on road surfaces entering the engine bay due to a lack of weather stripping. My dealer inspected my car last week and confirmed the lack of installed weather stripping and water entering the engine bay as an issue. They confirmed all 2015 legacys are designed this way. They submitted a eqmr (electronic quality monitoring report) to subaru of america; no response yet. (the dealer sends the eqmr to subaru when they encounter an issue that they cannot fix) i am sharing this video to alert all 2015 legacy owners to this issue. This is a serious safety & mechanical defect. Check your engines; conduct your own water/snow tests and share results. Contact subaru of america, your dealer and the national highway traffic safety
