2019 Subaru Crosstrek Complaint Log

Within a month of owning this vehicle new, the windshield formed a crack in it randomly. A few weeks later It formed another in the center near the driver's side making it harder to focus on the road. Now we have 2 cracks next to each other obstructing the driver's view.

I'VE HAD REPEATED PROBLEMS WITH THE 12V BATTERY IN MY 2019 SUBARU CROSSTREK HYBRID. THE VEHICLE HAS SOME SORT OF ELECTRICAL "LEAKAGE" ISSUE THAT DRAINS THE BATTERY AFTER SITTING FOR A FEW DAYS. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE VEHICLE IS COMPLETELY INOPERATIVE; CAR WILL NOT START, YOU CANNOT EVEN UNLOCK THE DOORS. IN 18 MONTHS OF OWNERSHIP, THE CAR HAS STRANDED ME SEVERAL TIMES. ONE INCIDENT JUST REQUIRED A JUMP START, BUT DURING THE LATEST INCIDENT THE CAR WAS COMPLETELY DEAD AND HAD TO BE TOWED ON A FLAT BED TRUCK TO THE DEALER FOR A NEW BATTERY AND OTHER REPAIRS. IN ALL OF THESE CASES, ALL ACCESSORIES, LIGHTS, OR ANYTHING ELSE THAT COULD DRAIN POWER WAS OFF WHEN THE CAR WAS PARKED. UNFORTUNATELY, THERE IS SOMETHING IN THE CAR THAT IS DRAWING POWER WHEN IT IS OFF AND DRAINS THE BATTERY WITHIN DAYS.

EVER SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE CAR MAY 2019 I HAVE HAD THE PROBLEM OF DANGEROUS UNSTABLE STEERING WHEN IT AUTOMATICALLY DEPARTS FROM LANES AT SPEEDS ABOVE 50 MPH IN ALL WEATHER CONDITIONS WET SUNNY MOUNTAINS HILLY WHEN IT PUTS ALL US IN DANGER WHEN THA DRIVER HAS TO ADJUST THE CAR. TWICE I HAVE TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND NO ACTION WAS TAKEN AND WE REMAIN APPREHENSIVE ABOUT DRIVING OUR LESS THAN 6000 MILES. IT IS UNSAFE AND DANGEROUS. CAN ANY THING BE DONE.

STATIONARY. BATTERY HAS BEEN REPLACED 4 TIMES. FIRST SUBARU SAID THAT IT NEEDED TO BE STARTED EVERY COUPLE OF WEEKS. THEN THEY SAID THAT IT HAD TO BE STARTED OR DRIVEN EVER WEEK. NOW THEY SAY IT HAS TO BE DRIVEN "MORE" AFTER PREVIOUS INSTRUCTIONS HAVE BEEN FOLLOWD. BATTERY DIES, BECOMES DEFECTIVE, AND DEALERSHIP REPLACES IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 SUBARU CROSSTREK. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROADWAY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DRIVABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO BILL RAPP SUBARU (3446 BURNET AVE, SYRACUSE, NY 13206, (315) 437-2501) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH UNKNOWN ELECTRICAL ISSUES. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED THREE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 24,680.

ORIGINAL BATTERY FAILED 5 TIMES IN 6 MONTHS AND WAS FINALLY REPLACED BY DEALER. SECOND BATTERY FAILED AFTER A MONTH AND HAS NOW BEEN REPLACED AGAIN BY DEALER. VEHICLE HAD BEEN DRIVEN FOR 20 MINUTES OR MORE AT LEAST TWICE A WEEK BEFORE THE 2ND BATTERY FAILURE.

VEHICLE BATTERY WILL NOT HOLD POWER. VEHICLE WILL NOT TURN ON AND REQUIRES CHARGING BEFORE IT WILL TURN ON. HAS HAPPENED 5 TIMES IN LAST MONTH. VEHICLE STATIONARY.

I WOKE UP ONE MORNING AND WHEN I WENT TO MY CAR THAT WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY OVERNIGHT I SAW A CRACK IN THE WINDSHIELD THAT WAS NOT THERE WHEN I GOT HOME THE NIGHT BEFORE. THE CRACK LOOKS LIKE IT STARTS WHERE THE DE ICER IS LOCATED ON THE BOTTOM OF THE PASSENGER SIDE.

2 battery failures in 2 years of purchasing vehicle. I am on my third battery in less than two years. Incidents occurred 15, 19, 23 and 24 months into car ownership. 4 battery / electrical related dealer service visits in 2 years. 2 times the car was immobilized due to battery failure, would not start and required a tow to dealership service. On 3 occasions lost car audio - no audio map directions, no hands free phone calling, no radio. On 1 occasion lost all internal lighting on entire instrument panel and all switches during night driving on one occasion creating a serious driving hazard and safety issue. All issues occurred with no warning lamps, messages or other symptoms. Only Subaru Dealer service has inspected and replaced/ recharged the batteries. Dealer service claimed they could not reproduce the problem once they replaced or recharged the batteries.

THE WINDSHIELD CRACKED VERY EASILY FROM A SMALL ROCK HITTING IT WHILE WE WERE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. THE CRACK THEN QUICKLY INCREASED IN SIZE BEFORE WE REPLACED IT. THE SAME THING HAPPENED BEFORE AND WE HAVE HAD TO REPLACE OUR WINDSHIELD TWICE IN ONE YEAR.

FRONT WINDSHIELD CRACKED WHILE DRIVING ON I-65. MY SPEED WAS 75 MPH. I DID NOT HEAR ANYTHING HIT THE WINDSHIELD. TRAFFIC WAS VERY LIGHT.

FOR THE THIRD TIME, THE BATTERY ON THIS CAR NEEDS TO GO BACK FOR SERVICE - THE CAR IS HOUSED IN A GARAGE ON OUR PROPERTY AND IS TURNED ON EVERY 3-4 DAYS. THIS MORNING AND TWICE BEFORE THE CAR DOESN'T START. IN THE PREVIOUS 2 TIMES THE CAR WAS COMPLETELY DEAD AND I HAD TO JUMP START IT AND TAKE IT TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY SAID THEY REPLACED THE BATTERY. THIS MORNING WHEN TRYING TO START THE CAR, THE LIGHTS WERE FLASHING BUT THE ENGINE DID NOT TURN OVER. THE SAME THING HAPPENED WITH OUR LAST SUBARU A 2015 SUBARU IMPREZA. WE FEEL THE CAR SHOULD NOT NEED TO BE STARTED EVERY DAY NOR SHOULD WE NEED TO PUT ON A TRICKLE CHARGER AS SUGGESTED BY JEFF AT PAUL MILLER SUBARU WHO I UNDERSTAND IS THE SERVICE MANAGER THERE IN PARSIPPANY, NJ WHERE WE BOUGHT THE CAR. THE CAR WAS PARKED INSIDE THE GARAGE. ALSO WHENEVER WE WERE ABLE TO TURN ON THE CAR, THE RADIO COMES ON IMMEDIATELY. I THINK SOMETHING ELSE IS DRAINING THE BATTERY AND IS PROBABLY A DESIGN DEFECT. WE LAST STARTED THE CAR AND DROVE IT ON WEDNESDAY EVENING. THE HAD THIS PROBLEM YESTERDAY.

A FEW DAYS AGO I WENT OUT TO MY SHOP TO GET IN MY CAR TO GO TO WORK AND WHEN I GOT IN MY CAR I NOTICED A GIANT CRACK IN THE WINDOW THAT IS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WINDOW DOWN AT THE BOTTOM AND IT STARTS UNDER THE WIPERS AND IS ABOUT 6 INCHES LONG. THEN A FEW DAYS WENT BY AND I WAS DRIVING TO WORK AGAIN ON THE HIGH WAY IN THE RAIN AND IT CRACKED ANOTHER 2 INCHES.

The windshield cracked seemingly at random during the winter. It was approximately 15 degrees on I-70 in CO on December 11, 2020. The windshield suddenly cracked with no indication of impact. It was a 6 inch crack. The windshield appears prone to cracking as evidenced by 1000s of other consumer complaints.

THE WINDSHIELD IS CRACKED WITH NO VISIBLE CHIPS OR DAMAGE CAUSING THE CRACK. I HAVE NEVER HAD A ROCK FLY AND HIT THE WINDSHIELD OR ANYTHING. IT SEEMS TO HAVE CRACKED WITH NO APPARENT REASON.

OCCASIONALLY, WHILE ACCELERATING, IT FEELS AS IF THE CAR LOSES ACCELERATION AND THE ENGINE LOSES POWER. IT HAPPENS WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION SLOW SPEEDS AND FAST SPEEDS.

AFTER STARTING THE CAR AND BEGINNING TO REVERSE AWAY FROM MY HOME, THE REAR VIEW CAMERA FROZE FOR 10 SECONDS, NOT SHOWING ANY CHANGE IN MOVING OR STATIONARY OBJECTS. THIS HAPPENED DUE TO THE DRIVER SCREEN INTERFACE/ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM CRASHING AND REBOOTING. THE CRASH/REBOOT USUALLY HAPPENS IF THE CAR PAIRS BY BLUETOOTH WITH A PHONE THAT IS IN THE HOUSE, AND THEN GETS OUT OF RANGE WHEN THE CAR BACKS AWAY OR DRIVES AWAY FROM THE HOUSE. IF IT CRASHES WHILE REVERSING, THE SCREEN EITHER GOES BLANK OR FREEZES THE REAR VIEW IMAGE IN PLACE. IF THE SYSTEM CRASHES WHILE DRIVING FORWARD THEN THE REVERSE CAMERA IMAGE IS NOT AFFECTED. WHEN THE CAMERA FREEZES WHILE REVERSING, IT IS VERY DANGEROUS SINCE IT GIVES THE DRIVER THE FALSE VIEW THAT NOTHING IS BEHIND THE CAR WHEN THERE COULD BE A CHILD OR OBJECT.

WINDSHIELD IS VERY EASILY CRACKED OR CHIPPED FROM THE SMALLEST PEBBLES HITTING IT WHILE GOING EVEN 35 MPH. WITH THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, GETTING THE WINDSHIELD FIXED AND THE SENSORS RECALIBRATED COULD COST A FORTUNE.

MY WIFES CAR STARTED SMELLING LIKE GASOLINE INSIDE THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. WE TOOK IT TO A SUBARU DEALER AND A RODENT HAD CHEWED THE HIGH PRESSURE GAS LINE. IT THEN SPRAYED GASOLINE RIGHT INTO HER BACK SEAT FOAM AND CUSHION. IF WE TAKE THE RODENT OUT OF THE EQUATION, THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE AND WE WANT OUR MONEY BACK IN FULL. THE MATERIAL FOR WIRING AND FUEL LINES ARE MADE FROM A SOY BASED PRODUCT ATTRACTING RODENTS. THE SEAL THEY USE FOR THE GAS TANK ACCESS UNDER THE REAR SEAT IS A CHEAP FOAM NOT A NEOPRENE RUBBER OR O-RING. IF THE GAS WOULD OF LEAKED ONTO JUST THE GROUND I WOULDN'T EVEN BE TYPING THIS LETTER. I AM EXTREMELY CONCERNED ABOUT HIGH PRESSURE GAS GETTING INTO THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. I WANT TO CONTACT A LAWYER ABOUT THIS AND MAKE SUBARU ACCOUNTABLE. THE DEALER EVEN TOLD ME IT WAS THE SECOND ONE IN 2 WEEKS. THEY MUST USE A SOY BASED FUEL LINE TO ATTRACT TO RODENT, AND THEN THE FOAM SEAL IN NO WAY IS SAFE TO PREVENT A PRESSURE OF GASOLINE FROM REACHING INSIDE THE VEHICLE. MY WIFES CAR IS 13 MO OLD AND ONLY HAS 7400 MILES ON IT. SHE IS DEVASTATED AS THIS WAS HER FIRST BRAND NEW CAR EVER. NO WE HAVE A CAR WITH GAS SMELL INSIDE FOREVER. PLEASE HELP US!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 SUBARU CROSSTREK. THE CONTACT STATED THAT UPON INSPECTION, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE FRONT WINDSHIELD WAS CRACKED AT THE LOWER SECTION ON THE PASSENGER'S SIDE. THE CAUSE OF THE CRACK WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THERE WAS NO IMPACT TO THE WINDSHIELD PRIOR TO THE CRACK BEING NOTICED. THE LOCAL DEALER MCGOVERN SUBARU LOCATED AT 203 LAFAYETTE RD, NORTH HAMPTON, NH 03862 WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT YET CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,000.

I AM DRIVING DOWN HWY17 DOWNHILL WHEN TRAFFIC SLOWED AND AS I SLOWED THE ENGINE AND CAR COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN , NO POWER , VERY LITTLE STEERING CONTROL.I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF WITHOUT INCIDENT. I DO FEAR THE REOCCURRENCE OF THIS PROBLEM AND I DO FEEL THIS IS DANGEROUS AND HOPE THE COMPLAINT IS CONSIDERED AND ADDRESED

WINDSHIELD CRACKED DURING COLD WEATHER. WINDSHIELD SEEMS TO BE DEFECTIVE.

ALL ELEXTRICAL WAS DIABELED, NO S DRIVE, NO RESPONSE TO KEY FOB, COULD NOT TAKE CAR OUT OF PARK, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. CAR WAS WORKIG WHEN PARKED AT STORE, CAME OUT AND THE CAR WOULD NOT START AND KEPT GIVING ME ERROR MESAGES. THE YBRID BATTER WAS GOOD AND I FINALLY WAS ABLE TO USE THE HYBRID MODE TO GET THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP.

BEEN DRIVING SUBARUS FOR MANY YEARS AND HAVE ALWAYS LOVED THEM...UNTIL NOW. GOT JUST OVER 11,300 MILES ON THE CAR SINCE I HARDLY DRIVE IT ANYMORE DUE TO THE PANDEMIC. WHILE DRIVING MY FIRST TIME OUT IN WEEKS, A SMALL PEBBLE HIT WINDSHIELD ON LEFT SIDE AND THE GLASS IMMEDIATELY CRACKED ABOUT 6" IN LENGTH. BY THE TIME I GOT HOME IT HAD TRAVELED TO ABOUT 9". THIS WAS A VERY SMALL PEBBLE THAT BARELY MADE A SOUND AND THAT SHOULD HAVE BOUNCED OFF WITH NO DAMAGE OR AT THE VERY MOST, MAYBE LEFT A CHIP BUT THE CRACKED WINDSHIELD SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED. THE WINDSHIELDS ARE SUPPOSEDLY COATED WITH A SPECIAL SOMETHING THAT DEFLECTS SMALL ROCKS........YEA, I DON'T THINK SO! I SEE THAT THERE IS A CLASS ACTION SUIT AGAINST SUBARU FOR THIS VERY THING. NO ONE WILL FIX IT TO STOP THE TRAVELING CRACK, THEY ALL SAY IT MUST BE REPLACED DUE TO THE SAFETY FEATURES OF THE VEHICLE/GLASS. WELL THE WINDSHIELD REPLACEMENT IS SUPER EXPENSIVE BECAUSE OF THE "EYESIGHT" FEATURE AND THE CAMERAS. THESE CARS ARE NOT CHEAP AND I WOULD EXPECT HIGHER QUALITY FROM SUBARU. VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THE BRAND NOW.

I've owned cars for 40 years. And not once in 40 years, has the ash from a cigarette caused a seat to immediately burn. And I mean burn. Not just a burn on the outside of the fabric, but deep down into the padded material within seconds. Thankfully, I was able to put it out in the heavy smoke phase, before it turned into a full blown burning flame, burning the entire car seat and car. After my experience, it floored me that wasn't discovered during any type of testing that might be done on a vehicle. A major safety issue in my mind. I decided to report it now, because I'm surprised nobody else has. Considering there aren't a lot of cigarette smokers it's not surprising I guess.

WINDSHIELD CRACKS EASILY AND THE CRACKS SPREAD QUICKLY. I'VE HAD 2 CRACKS SO FAR ON A 2019 VEHICLE FROM LIGHT PEBBLE IMPACT COMING FROM THE ROAD. COST ESTIMATE TO REPLACE IS VERY HIGH AS THE VEHICLE HAS EYESIGHT. SUBARU CLAIMS IF YOU DON'T USE THE OEM WINDSHIELD EYESIGHT MAY NOT WORK. OVER $1000 TO REPLACE?? SMALL CRACK HAPPENED FIRST RIGHT AFTER VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED. HAD IT "REPAIRED" SINCE IT WAS NOT A SAFETY OR VISION ISSUE. NEW CRACK IS RIGHT IN LINE OF SIGHT ON DRIVERS SIDE.

NO KNOWN ISSUE OCCURRED, YET THE WINDSHIELD STARTED A CRACK FROM THE DRIVERS SIDE EDGE AND RAPIDLY MOVED ACROSS THE WINDSHIELD ABOUT 12 INCHES. DURING HIGHWAY DRIVING IT MAY HAVE CAUGHT A PEBBLE (DON'T RECALL THIS HAPPENING BUT I'VE EXPERIENCED THIS WITH OTHER CARS), BUT STILL THAT WOULDN'T EXPLAIN THE RAPID CRACKING.

I BOUGHT THIS CAR A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AGO. (BOUGHT JUNE 2019 AND CURRENTLY SEPTEMBER 2020). IN JANUARY I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AND A HEARD A LIGHT "TING" ON MY WINDSHIELD (I'VE HAD CARS BEFORE THIS ONE, AND I'VE NEVER GOTTEN A CRACK FROM SOMETHING LIKE THAT) AND MY WINDSHIELD GOT A CHIP IN IT THAT IN DIAMETER WAS A LITTLE LARGER THAN A QUARTER. I GOT THAT FIXED QUICKLY AFTER IT HAPPENED. THEN, 4 DAYS AGO I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AND THIS "TING" WAS A LITTLE LOUDER. I DIDN'T SEE ANY DAMAGE AT FIRST, BUT IT WAS BECAUSE IT WAS BEHIND MY REARVIEW MIRROR, AND WHEN I GOT OUT IT WAS A CRACK ABOUT A FOOT LONG. I'VE BEEN DRIVING SINCE I WAS 16 AND I'M 23 NOW, AND I'VE NEVER HAD THESE THINGS HAPPEN. TO GET TWO INCIDENTS IN LESS THAN A YEAR SEEMS SUSPICIOUS TO ME.

WINDSHIELD CRACKED NEEDING REPLACEMENT AFTER NO NOTICABLE ROCK HITTING IT

WHEN I TURN ON CRUISE CONTROL AND SET THE DESIRED SPEED THE SYSTEM ON ITS OWN DECIDES TO ACCELERATE TO 90 OR 100 MPH. THIS OCCURS ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN I AM TRAVELLING LONG DISTANCES. I DONT KNOW THE EXACT SEQUENCE IF ITS INITIALLY WHEN I TURN ON THE CRUISE CONTROL OR WHEN I WANT TO RESUME AND GO A BIT FASTER. THIS HAS OCCURRED A COUPLE OF TIMES AND CAN'T BE RECREATED ON DEMAND. I TOOK THE CAR INTO SUBARU AND THEY HAVE NO KNOWN RECALLS AND FOUND NOTHING WRONG.

WINDSHIELD EASILY SUSCEPTIBLE TO ROCK CHIPS COMPARED TO PREVIOUS MODEL CROSSTREK (2014) DRIVING THE SAME ROADS. HAVE RECEIVED 2 ROCK CHIPS IN WINDSHIELD LESS THAN 1 MONTH APART FROM ANOTHER WHILE DRIVING ON SUBURBAN ROADS WHERE SPEED LIMIT IS 55MPH.

THE CAR WAS PURCHASED IN NOVEMBER, AND THE BATTERY FAILED IN APRIL AFTER MULTIPLE DEAD BATTERIES AND JUMP STARTS. THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED AS 'DEFECTIVE.' THE CAR WAS JUMPED AGAIN FOR A DEAD BATTERY IN JUNE. THE BATTERY DIED AGAIN IN JULY, AND THE TECH SAID THAT THE REASON WAS THAT THE CAR HAD TO BE DRIVEN EVERY 5 DAYS OR THE BATTERY WOULD BE DEAD. IN AUGUST, THE CAR WAS TAKEN IN AND AGAIN THE DIAGNOSIS WAS A DEFECTIVE BATTERY, AND IT WAS REPLACED, THOUGH THEY ALSO SAID THAT THE CAR NEEDED TO BE STARTED AND DRIVEN ONCE A WEEK.

NOTICED WINDSHIELD WAS CRACKED STARTING WHERE THE DEFROSTER LINES ARE. DEFROSTER WAS NOT BEING USED THAT DAY THOUGH AS IT WAS 100 DEGREES THAT DAY. DON'T RECALL IT HAPPENING WHILE I WAS DRIVING. NOTICED IT AFTER I GOT IN THE CAR TO DRIVE HOME FROM WORK.

ONE DAY IN AUGUST, I WENT TO MY CAR PARKED IN THE GARAGE AND NOTICED A CRACK COMING UP FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE WINDSHIELD. I HAVE HAD NOTHING HIT THE WINDSHIELD IN SEVERAL MONTHS AND NEVER IN THAT AREA. ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS AFTER THAT, AS I TOOK THE CAR OUT OF THE GARAGE, I NOTICED IT LENGTHENING HORIZONTAL BY ABOUT 3 INCHES EACH TIME.

OVERNIGHT, SOMETHING FELL ON MY VEHICLE AND CRACKED THE WINDSHIELD. THE CRACK TRAVELS A GOOD THIRD OF THE WIDTH OF THE VEHICLE. WE THINK IT IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AS THE SUBARU WAS STREET-PARKED UNDERNEATH A POWER LINE, AND WE DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING SUBSTANTIAL AROUND THE CAR THAT COULD HAVE CRACKED IT.

. I expect a full recall on this model years and relative MY vehicles with this specific engine due to its obsolescence in the subsequent years. I feel as if I was sold a lemon and defective engine that will eventually become a death trap Dear Bloomington Subaru Service Manager, I want to reiterate that this is not an isolated incident limited to your facility. Over the course of this vehicle’s history, I have visited more than five different Subaru dealerships — including White Bear Luther Subaru, Miller Hill Subaru, Walser Subaru, Morrie’s Minnetonka Subaru, and your own Luther Bloomington Subaru — for recurring ECM and engine-related concerns. Despite multiple ignition coil replacements, repeated ECM flashes/reprogramming, and assurances that the most recent updates would permanently resolve the issue, my Crosstrek continues to suffer from clunking, rattling, difficulties accelerating, rough idling, and even complete stalling when idling or in hot temperatures. At my most recent visit to Bloomington Subaru, the ECM was not loaded with the current software, ECM C1424 and C1422 and Diag Trouble Code P0011 code. There are 5-7 Subaru bulletins about ECM and these codes. I had this b4 2yrs ago yet the dealership won’t assist with repairs or costs associated with this defective oil control valve part as well as the defective design in the ECM / ECU and this specific engine in the 2019 Crosstrek, of which is no longer produced or manufactured. The ECM or Oil control valve has since been “replaced” and swapped with other components in future generations of Subarus this is defective & mechanically related, not from wear and tear or personal useThere is a recall where the camshaft can break and the PCV too leading to complete catastrophic engine failure, which is a safety issue and expired, but despite 5 ECM flashes, 3/4 sets of ignition coils my vehicle still struggles with the same issues today, costing me $750 and months with my car in the shop, recall this engine

WHILE DRIVING ON AN INTERSTATE, A CRACK FORMED ON MY WINDSHIELD. IT STARTED PRECISELY AT THE BASE AND WENT UPWARD CLEANLY ABOUT 4 INCHES. NO OBJECTS HIT THE WINDSHIELD, AND THERE WERE NO PRIOR CRACKS.

WHEN ACCELERATING RPM DISPLAY AT APPROXIMATELY 2-3 THOUSAND RPMS STARTS TO JOLT AND THE RPM NEEDLE BOUNCES UP AND DOWN AS THE ACCELERATION CONTINUES!! THE VEHICLE DOES THIS WHEN GOING FROM A FULL STOPPED POSITION TO ACCELERATING.

VERY SMALL ROCK HIT WINDSHIELD ON THE HIGHWAY AND CAUSED A GOOD SIZED CHIP. I UNDERSTAND THAT THESE WINDSHIELDS ARE UNDER INVESTIGATION FOR BREAKING TOO EASILY ON THIS SUBARU MODEL.

STRUT HAS CREAKING SOUND DURING DRIVING IN CITY TRAFFIC. ON HIGHWAY THERE IS HARDLY ANY NOISE AND WORKS FINE. DEALER SUGGESTED STRUT REPLACEMENT BUT NOT UNDER WARRANTY SINCE IT WAS IN ACCIDENT IN THAT AREA 6 MONTHS AGO.

EYE SIGHT NOTIFICATION AND ENGINE LIGHT TURNS ON AND WE LOST POWER STEERING WHILST DRIVING THE VEHICLE.

THE WINDSHIELD CRACKED FROM THE BOTTOM UP, TWICE WITHIN 9 MONTHS. I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE BRAND NEW. THE FIRST TIME, THE DEALER WAS NICE ENOUGH TO REPLACE IT FOR FREE. THE SECOND WINDSHIELD HAS ONLY BEEN INSTALLED FOR ABOUT 4 MONTHS. PICTURE ATTACHED IS THE SECOND CRACK. FIRST CRACK STARTED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE SEEMINGLY OUT OF NOWHERE. IT WAS PARKED IN A GARAGE AND I CAME OUT AFTER WORK TO A CRACK 4-6 INCHES LONG. *TR

WINDSHIELD CRACKED FOR NO REASON, CREATING A LONG CRACK HALFWAY DOWN MY WINDSHIELD. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, PARKED ON SIDE STREET. MILEAGE WAS AROUND 9,000 MILES. 2019 SUBARU CROSSTREK

VEHICLE IN MOTION ,ACCELERATED WITHOUT WARNING , AND COLLIDED INTO A TREE LOCATED ON CURB OF SIDEWALK, NO INJURIES TO 2 OCCUPANTS WEARING SEATBELTS, MAJOR DAMAGE TO FRONT OF VEHICLE. NO EXPLANATION FOR VEHICLE MOVING UNEXPECTLY

AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET APPLIED MY BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN AT A RED LIGHT MY DRIVER'S SEAT SLID FORWARD VERY FAST PINNING ME AGAINST THE STEERING WHEEL. AT THAT TIME MY LEG WAS FOLDED CAUSE I WAS UP AGAINST DASH AND IT MADE ME SLAM MY BRAKES ON VERY FAST AND QUICK. I AM LUCKY MY FOOT WAS NOT ON THE GAS AT THE TIME OR I WOULD HAVE WENT THROUGH THE INTERSECTION. THE NEXT DAY AS I WAS DRIVING MY SEAT SLID FORWARD A LITTLE BUT LOCKED INTO THE NEXT SPOT. I HAD GOTTEN A HOLD OF SUBARU AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT BUT THEY CANNOT SEE ME FOR A WEEK. IT IS VERY UNSAFE SOMEONE COULD REALLY GET HURT. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT 60 MPH, A SMALL ROCK POPPED UP AND HIT MY WINDSHIELD IMMEDIATELY CAUSING AN APPROXIMATE ONE INCH CHIP IN THE GLASS. APPROXIMATELY 5 SECONDS LATER, THE CHIP EXPANDED TO AN ALMOST 12 INCH CRACK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. A SMALL ROCK SHOULD NOT HAVE CAUSED THAT MUCH DAMAGED TO ANY WINDSHIELD. *TR

IN JUNE OF 2020, MY BRAND NEW 2019 SUBARU CROSSTREK CAUGHT FIRE WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. THE MORNING OF THE FIRE, IT WAS CONFIRMED VIA THE APP THAT ALL CAR SYSTEMS WERE IN CHECK AND NO MAINTENANCE WAS REQUIRED. WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 65MPH, WE COULD NO LONGER ACCELERATE. WHILE PULLING OVER, THE DASHBOARD LIT UP WITH ICONS. WE THEN NOTICED SMOKE, THEN FIRE. THIS WAS ABOUT WITHIN A MINUTE AND A HALF TIMES. THE CAR REMAINS BURNT ON THE LOT UNTOUCHED AND SUBARU HAS YET TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT 3 MONTHS LATER. IF THERE IS A RECALL, IT WAS VERY UNSAFE FOR SUBARU CROSSTREK DRIVERS TO BE ON THE ROAD.

I PURCHASED THIS AFTERMARKET DEVICE ON AMAZON IN MAY. NOT ONLY DOES THIS DEVICE NOT WORK BUT I AM CONCERN OF THE INHERENT DANGERS OF THIS PRODUCT. I SPENT A FAIR AMOUNT OF TIME ON THE PHONE WITH SUBARU OF AMERICA WHO STATED THIS TYPE OF DEVICE SHOULD NOT BE USED FOR BOTH SAFETY AND WARRANTY REASONS. SUBARU POINTED THIS OUT TO ME IN MY OWNER'S MANUAL. WE ALSO DISCUSSED HOW THIS MAY BE A SAFETY ISSUE FOR ANY VEHICLE AS MOST VEHICLES WARN AGAINST SPENDING TIME NEAR THE EXHAUST. KEEP IN MIND THAT THIS PRODUCT, BESTAUTO AIR JACK EXHAUST 3 TON INFLATABLE CAR JACK OFF-ROAD EXHAUST AIR JACK 4X4' USES A BLACK RUBBER CONE PLACED OVER THE EXHAUST OF A RUNNING CAR TO INFLATE THE BALLOON/JACK DEVICE. ONE WOULD HAVE TO CONTINUOUSLY HOLD THIS BLACK CONE OVER THE EXHAUST TO MAINTAIN THE SEAL. THIS MEANS ONE WOULD HAVE THEIR NOSE AND MOUTH NEAR THE EXHAUST. BOTH AS A CUSTOMER AND HEALTHCARE PROVIDER, I HAVE PUBLIC SAFETY CONCERNS ABOUT THIS PRODUCT. I MADE THESE CONCERNS TO BOTH AMAZON AND BESTAUTO IN WRITING, 'DEAR BESTAUTO, AS REQUESTED, I HAVE ATTACHED A PICTURE OF THIS ITEM. IT DOES NOT WORK. I SEPARATELY EMAILED YOU A VIDEO SHOWING THE SAME THING, THAT THIS PRODUCT DOES NOT WORK. ADDITIONALLY, THE MANUFACTURER OF MY VEHICLE, SUBARU, STATED NOTHING SHOULD BE PLACED IN THE PATH OF THE EXHAUST. THESE ARE FOR SAFETY REASONS. I HAVE ALSO ATTACHED PICTURES OF THIS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION.

SOME TIME THIS CAR ACELERACIN MORE LIKE PUT MORE FULL, I START TO NOTICE WHEN I WAS DRIVEN IN THE SPECIFIC SPEED AND THE CAR START TO PUT MORE FULL AND SPEED MORE THAN I WAS

AT TIMES VEHICLE HAS STUTTERED ACCELERATION OR DELAYED ACCELERATION. THIS IS VERY NOTICEABLE AFTER CAR HAD BEEN RUNNING FOR MORE THAT AN HOUR AT FREEWAY SPEEDS. TWICE I HAVE TAKEN MY SUBARU IN TO HAVE IT LOOK AT ONCE ON 1/2020 AND AGAIN 5/2020. SUBARU HAS RECORDED AS ISSUE TWICE OVER 517 MILES. AT TECHLINE INVESTIGATION HAS BEEN OPENED UP. THEY THINK THIS IS A SOFTWARE ISSUE. THEY HAVE DEEMED THIS NORMAL OPERATION AND SAFE TO DRIVE. MY CAR HAS A PROBLEM AND ITS NOT BEING ADDRESSED BY SUBARU. THIS IS A NEW CAR WITH 14307 MILES ON IT. THIS ACCELERATION ISSUE HAPPENS ON THE FREEWAY AND AROUND TOWN AT 35 MPH. *TR
