2026 Subaru Uncharted

Too new to assess

The 2026 Subaru Uncharted is too new for this measure. Almost every complaint about a vehicle this recent is a first-year complaint, because that is all the service life there has been, so the figure cannot separate a genuine early defect from simple youth. The complaint counts, systems and recalls below still stand on their own. The most-reported system is exterior lighting (31 complaints), typically at 9 mo.

Complaints: 44
Median age at failure: 9 mo
Median mileage: 650 n=1
Crash / fire / tow: 0% of reports
Safety recalls: 0

In owners’ own words

Exterior lighting mileage not reported 8 mo in service

When the headlights are on at night, any bump or movement of the vehicle over rough surfaces causes the headlights to visibly shake. It is especially noticeable when the low beams are on. Even the reflection in vehicles or signs, you can see the lights shake. It caused quite a distraction when trying to drive. Dealer states this is normal and all other variants of this car do the same. I have never had a car that had headlights shake like this.

Headlights bounce/shake when the car is driven on a non-smooth surface. This causes visual distractions when driving at night.

While driving at night, the headlights seem like they bouncing with each slight bump on the road. They arenât staying properly and give me headaches. I cannot drive at night now.

How to read this

This is what owners reported, not a reliability rating. People file with NHTSA about alarming failures, not routine ones, and complaint volume tracks how many cars were sold.
Failure ages come from the incident date on each complaint, populated on about 83% of records. Mileage is shown where reported — NHTSA’s 2021 system change cut mileage capture to roughly 15%, so it thins out sharply after MY2020.
Every rank compares this vehicle only against others of the same model year. A 2025 car has not had time to accumulate five-year failures, so comparing early-failure share across years is meaningless.
Fourteen make-months distorted by media storms and mass recalls — Toyota in February 2010 ran 11× normal volume across 33 models — are excluded.
Recalls are manufacturer actions and authoritative; complaints are not. A recall listed here may already have been performed on any individual car. Check a specific VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls.
