The impact caused a head injury, blackout, and concussion, and resulted in permanent damage to an individual (6' 2\" - 190lbs).   Subaru\u2019s stated that an inspection of the vehicle was performed on May 19th and informed me that \u201cthe vehicle is operating as designed\u2026and has met all federal specifications,\u201d and that their inspection concluded that this is \u201cno manufacturing defect.\u201d Prior to the inspection, Subaru requested signed consent to inspect the vehicle's internal data which I provided. When I requested a copy of the report, Subaru informed me of their policy not to share this information despite the vehicle \"operating as designed.\"   One of the first things that we learn about computers is \u201cGarbage in, garbage out.\u201d My position is that if Subaru\u2019s computers are not programmed to look for issues pertaining to incidents that contradict their message of superior safety features, then their computers will not find issues that do not reflect their preferred image.  No warning messages or symptoms prior to this occurrence.   Subaru's response is included in this report.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2021","productMake":"SUBARU","productModel":"ASCENT","manufacturer":"Subaru of America, Inc."}]}]}
