Subaru Crosstrek

"throwout bearing wore out. Had it and the clutch disc replaced."

"Transmission valve body had to be replaced"

"I'm less clear about the transmission, but it was a few miles out of warranty and some gaskets failed and it needed to be replaced and on my dime."

"During cruise control on long trips, transmission has a low chance of slipping and revving uncontrollably. Requires the car to stop, turn off, and turn back on before it resumes normal operation."

"A transmission seal had to be replaced"

"A failed solenoid in the CVT valve control body caused multiple dashboard lights to come on. This required replacement of the entire valve control body because Subaru does not sell the solenoids separately. This was an $850 part."

"We paid extra for a protective pad that is attached to the top surface of the rear bumper to protect the painted bumper from scratches when loading via the rear hatch door. It has started to peel away. The dealer installed this but wants too much to fix it. A small problem."

"Fading paint on vehicle especially roof. Subaru uses water based paint that fades leaving a whitish cast. Had to have car repainted which was not cheap."

"Paint has been subject to fading, and easily scratched since new."

"Driver side window seal kept dislodging and had to be replaced"

"Can hear outside and rattling noises not sealed properly doors or windows"

"Some kind of insulating panel on the undercarriage kept coming loose and cause a rattling noise. An additional noise started and was the rear wheel bearings"

"Survey asked for cars year 2000 or newer but did only gave 2016 and newer in drop down for details. Engine seized while driving. Subaru put in 3 engines and all seized. Finally put in new one and made me pay half."

"Sudden rupture of a radiator hose revealed there had been an underlying prblem with the engin, allwoing water to mix with the engine oil."

"Axle needed replacement at seventy thousand miles"

"An axel was replaced under warranty, by Subaru with a refurbished part, rather than a brand new one. The replacement then failed out of warranty and damaged the differential. Despite the proof they had installed a non-new genuine part at the time of the warranty work, Subaru left us to cover this $5000+ set of repairs on our own. The axel failed, and damaged the differential & AWD system leading to an inability to turn without the entire car "hopping" as the differential locked up."

"The original brakes lasted a long time, but the replacement parts lasted about 20% as long AND are due to be replaced again. This happens all the time with replacement parts."

"Leather steering wheel cover is peeling and cannot be replaced separately from the steering wheel."

"Engine oil leak from cam cover on passenger side. Had dealership remove engine and reseal all gaskets. No problems now."

"Car would security lock and unable to reset to start or drive car. Happened while driving. Radio goes out when braking."

"The onky knock of Subaru is since COVID, they seem to make repairs very expensive..."

"drivers seat does not heat"
