Subaru Impreza

"At startup when plugging in the phone the system will not recognize the phone and wont connect. These means navigation is not available. Sometime unplugging it and plugging back in will work but most of the time it wont."

"The head unit/infotainment system started having issues beginning in Jan 2024 (7 months ago). The screen constantly cycles through as if it is powering on and off. Cannot shut the screen off. Very distracting while driving especially at night. Cannot play music or use any features with the infotainment system. For a week, this occurred. And now it will randomly start having this issue again amd then randomly work again. Not resolved. Not covered under warranty. No open recalls. Tried updating the software, seemed to help but now still having same issues."

"The car began to idle irregularly. When stopped, the car would briefly struggle to maintain it's usual idle engine speed, even stalling once or twice. We took it to Subaru and they identified it as sludge buildup in the engine since we were overdue for an oil change. Instead of just changing the oil, they did a full flush of all engine oil, and after a few days, this did solve the problem."

"Since soon after we got this car we have had an intermittent rattle somewhere near the center of the dashboard. Dealership and other mechanics have never located the problem."

"Something is draining the battery and dealer has been unable to identify what it is. This is the third battery for the car. This problem is in other Subaru models, as well, an a service bulletin has been issued. There is also a class action lawsuit having to do with the draining problem. Current battery had to be jump-started after 5 months. Dealer said car wasn't being driven enough but we made a point to take it out for at least 30 minutes at least one day a week. Problem has not been resolved."

"i had to call for a tow to a garage because the serpent belt broke."

"all my subarus rev but don't move at first, it's frustrating."

"humming from rear end found to be damaged wheel bearings on both sides. warranty replaced; around 50,000 miles"

"The problem was difficult to diagnose; a number of shops-dealership and non-dealership- looked at it without finding the problem. At first it was thought to be a defective tire. The symptom was that at highway speeds, and after the tires warmed, the car would vibrate and cavitation violently for 20 minutes, then it would go away, only to return after a while."
