Subaru Impreza

"Headlight failure due to harness grounding problem very major cost 5000 to fix"

"Random 'electrical squeek' sounds when opening the drivers door. It is an annoyance but speaks volumes about lack of quality control during the manufacturing of this car"

""Steering responsive headlight function stopped working, with warning light blinking on dashboard at all times. Dealer repair shop could not figure out how to fix it.""

"Unless I gently put on the brakes the 'anti lock' brakes tend to 'lock up' --- especially in winter snow conditions."

""The rear wheel bearings made grinding noises. The driver side rear bearings had to be replaced at 34,000 miles and then the passenger rear bearings needed to be replaced before 40,000 miles. The car was bought new and we have been the only drivers. We paid for the first replacement at over $800 but when it came time for the second replacement, I complained that the original bearings had to be faulty and that this seemed to be an issue with this 2018 Impreza model. The supervisor at my Subaru dealer agreed and he waived the cost of the second replacement.""

""Rear brakes wore down into the rotors, no warning. Forced to replace pads & rotors. Front brakes were fine however; very strange.""

"I had an accident which damaged my original catalytic converter. Dealership put in another catalytic converter which but it gives me error messages and causes the dashboard warning lights to go off."

""We took our 2018 Subaru Impreza to out local mechanic that specializes in Japanese car repair for an oil change and check up. The mechanic let us know the catalytic converter was starting to fail and would likely need to be replaced in the next year. A few months later, we took the car to our local Subaru dealer for scheduled service and they let us know the catalytic converter was near failing and it was covered under our certified pre-owned warranty. Our Subaru dealer changed out the catalytic converter at no cost to us as well as performed the scheduled mileage service items for our car. We were ecstatic that we didn't have to pay $4-5000 to replace our catalytic converter.""

""After replacing tires, the tire pressure monitoring system was problematic and necessitated 6 or 7 trips to the dealer to finally get it resolved.""
