Subaru Crosstrek

"Radiator leak. Had to replace the radiator"

"Radiator leak. I had to replace the radiator."

"Rattling speaker on rough roads, took to dealer they claimed to have fixed it (there was no charge), within 2 months problem came back didn't bother to go back to dealer, am living with it now"

"The driver's seat needed to be replaced because it lost all support, the padding seemed to break down and it became very uncomfortable particularly on long drives"

"Rear bumper scratched easily."

"Power seat stopped working last month (May 2025). Was repaired by the dealer."

"Check engine light came on, which also caused the Eyesight System to stop working. The Thermo Control Valve failed and was replaced under warranty (open service bulletin, https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2022/MC-10208664 -0001.pdf)"

"It was most likely a reaction to getting my system flushed."

"Both intake manifolds failed. Replaced under warranty"

"The timing cover needed to be resealed. The dealership said that sometimes the factory seal fails. They reported that the timing chain was fine (I checked that box on this CR survey as it was the closest provided option to the actual issue."

"How do you replace front brakes and 32,000 miles"

"On April 14 2025 my subaru crosstek suddenly unintentionally accelerated and the brakes totally failed when applied."

""Prior to 36000, the car was making a noise and the dealer discovered that it needed a new transmission""

"Stuck open"

"Air con and heat ceased to work and display went crazy. This is a known issue and was covered by a recall warranty."

"I had the transmission fluid changed at 80,000 and it was black. I had it analyzed and the particle count was OK. The shifting improved for a while but now I am at 88K miles and the shifting is getting rough again. Since Subaru increased the cost of their proprietary transmission fluid to $650, I cant keep changing the transmission fluid"

"Paint around front window framing becoming more discolored and more noticeable. There are many black dots coming though the paint finish. It like the under coating was poorly applied and paint has trouble sticking to outer surface. All spots becoming more black."

""The heated seats fluctuate in temperature, from barely warm up to as hot as when they were working properly. Only the front seats are heated and the problem affects both seats. The problem started around May, 2024. The dealer replaced a part for about $300, but it did not fix the issue. We have not taken it back yet to be looked at again.""
