  TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 SUBARU XV CROSSTREK. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 5 MPH TO MAKE A THREE POINT TURN, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF REVERSE. THE CONTACT CALLED A TOW TRUCK AND HE WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE OUT OF REVERSE AFTER A LOT OF MANEUVERING. THE CONTACT PROCEEDED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THE VEHICLE DIAGNOSED. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO OCCUR INTERMITTENTLY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,287.

• 12/23/2025· ENGINE

  While driving at normal operating speed, the vehicle experienced a sudden and complete loss of engine power with no prior warning. There were no dashboard alerts, warning lights, or check engine indicators before the failure occurred. The vehicle became immediately unsafe to operate and had to be pulled over in a main highway center lane divide. After inspection by a licensed mechanic, it was determined that the engine suffered catastrophic internal failure due to oil and engine coolant mixing. This resulted in complete engine failure and rendered the vehicle inoperable. The vehicle has been properly maintained with all routine oil changes and inspections completed on schedule. There was no indication of overheating or mechanical issues prior to the failure. The condition that caused the failure was not detectable through normal maintenance. The sudden loss of power without warning created a significant safety risk to the driver and surrounding traffic. Due to the nature of the failure, the engine requires full replacement, and both 12v and hybrid batteries were also damaged and require replacement. This incident raises concern regarding a potential latent defect related to the engine or cooling system, particularly given reports of similar issues in this model year.

• 12/22/2021· POWER TRAIN

  Driving at night on interstate approximately 70 mph using adaptive cruise control. Suddenly engine revs higher and car slows down. Cruise control deactivates. Applying gas cause the engine to rev but car continues to slows down. Pulled to side of interstate. Infotainment system screen flashes to black then back on. Turned car off and back on again and behaved normally. Was able to continue driving with no issues. This same sequence of events also happened approximately one year ago. So this is the second occurrence. The first time I knew I had a bad O2 sensor so thought it may be related to that but the sensor has now been replaced and the same issue has reoccurred.

• 12/14/2018· STEERING,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,SERVICE BRAKES

  I WAS DRIVING ON A 2 LANE HIGHWAY GOING 55MPH. MY KNEE BUMPED THE STEERING COLUMN AND AT THAT MOMENT THE DASH WENT BLANK, I LOST POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER ONTO THE SHOULDER BEFORE THE STEERING LOCKED UP. I HAD NO IDEA WHAT HAD JUST HAPPENED. AFTER AWHILE I DISCOVERED THE CAR WOULD RESTART AND DROVE THE REMAINING 20 MILES HOME WITH NO PROBLEM. IT WASN'T UNTIL I CALLED THE DEALER THE NEXT DAY AND LOOKED ONLINE THAT I REALIZED WHAT HAD HAPPENED. I'M SHORT , 5'1' AND HAD THE STEERING COLUMN AT THE LOWEST POSITION AND THE SEAT FORWARD. I'VE MOVED THE COLUMN TO THE NEXT SETTING HIGHER AND BELIEVE THIS PROBLEM IS NOW UNLIKELY TO RECUR. THE LOWEST COLUMN POSITION SHOULD BE ELIMINATED . DANGEROUS!!

• 12/13/2022· POWER TRAIN,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,SEAT BELTS

  Several components' issues and scheduled to take back to Subaru dealer on 12/16/2022. Several times after parking car and getting back in, when shifting to 1st gear to take off, the car goes in reverse instead of forward. Rear backup camera sporadically works. Tire pressure light came on and won't turn off. Front end shakes when braking dealer said it was new brakes, but still happening. Front passenger seat belt locked and will not release, no one can sit in front seat. After purchasing the car, and having so many issues, checked the fluid and there was not a drop of oil on the dipstick. Nothing but problems with car from the date of purchase.

• 12/07/2019· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,EXTERIOR LIGHTING

  REVERSE LIGHTS AND REAR VIEW CAMERA WILL NOT TURN OFF. THEY STAY ON IN DRIVE, NEUTRAL, PARK AND THE MANUAL MODE. I'VE BEEN TO THE SUBARU DEALER AND ANOTHER MECHANIC AND THEY CANNOT RESOLVE WITHOUT MAJOR LABOR HOURS TO LOOK INTO THE ISSUE. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. CARS BEHIND ME WILL BELIEVE I AM REVERSING INTO THEM SINCE THE LIGHTS ARE ALWAYS ON (THEY MAY DECIDE TO TAKE UNNECESSARY EVASIVE ACTION). THIS IS ALSO BLINDS DRIVERS WHO ARE BEHIND ME AS THE BRIGHT REVERSE LIGHTS ARE ALWAYS ON. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS. THIS IS NOT SAFE. THIS HAPPENS IN MOTION, IN PARK, ETC. I'VE DONE NO MODIFICATIONS TO THIS CAR AND THIS CAR HAS NEVER BEEN JUMP STARTED. I WOULD BE HAPPY TO UPLOAD VIDEOS OF THIS INCIDENT OCCURRING AS I HAVE MANY. WITH THE REVERSE CAMERA STAYING ON THE CAR'S INFOTAINMENT CENTER IS RENDERED USELESS. THIS IS ALSO EXTREMELY DISTRACTING WHILE DRIVING AS YOU HAVE TO DEAL WITH A CONSTANT VIDEO FEED OF WHAT'S BEHIND YOU.

• 11/30/2017· ENGINE

  ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY: I HAD BEEN DRIVING FOR ABOUT AN HOUR AND A HALF WHEN MY LOW FUEL WARNING LIGHT CAME ON, WHICH MEANT I STILL HAD 70 MILES LEFT UNTIL EMPTY. ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AFTER, WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY IN THE MIDDLE LANE, MY ENGINE MADE A REVVING NOISE AND MY CAR LOST POWER (PRESSED GAS PEDAL, BUT NOTHING HAPPENED). PRIOR TO THAT, THE CAR DROVE NORMALLY. THANKFULLY, I WAS ABLE TO EXIT OFF OF THE HIGHWAY, AT A SNAIL'S PACE, AND PULL INTO A PARKING LOT AND AS SOON AS I DID, THE CAR DIED AND ALL OF THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH CAME ON. RADIO STILL WORKED. NO WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON BEFORE THE CAR LOST POWER, EXCEPT FOR THE LOW FUEL LIGHT. I TRIED TO RE-START THE CAR, BUT THE ENGINE DID NOT TURN OVER. I HAD TO CALL A TOW TRUCK AND BY THE TIME THE TOW TRUCK ARRIVED THE CAR STARTED NORMALLY. I DID NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE CAR AND HAD IT TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP. DEALERSHIP SAID THAT THE CODE FOR CAR RUNNING TOO LEAN HAD COME ON. AFTER PUTTING THE CAR THROUGH A SERIES OF TESTS, THEY DETERMINED THAT IT MUST HAVE BEEN BAD GAS PUT INTO THE TANK. AFTER SEEING NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS FOR THE 2015 FORESTERS AND CROSSTREKS WITH IDENTICAL SITUATIONS, I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT GAS WAS THE CULPRIT. . I HAVE OWNED VARIOUS CARS OVER THE YEARS AND THE ONLY THING THAT BAD GAS CAUSED WAS SPUTTERING. I BOUGHT A NEW CAR SO THAT I HAVE PEACE OF MIND WHILE DRIVING 80 MILES ON A BUSY HIGHWAY EVERY DAY. I NO LONGER HAVE THAT PEACE OF MIND AND INSTEAD WONDER IF MY TWO YEAR OLD CAR WILL LOSE POWER AGAIN, BUT UNDER DIFFERENT CIRCUMSTANCES. WILL IT HAPPEN AT NIGHT WITH NOWHERE TO PULL OVER WITH A TRACTOR TRAILER BEARING DOWN ON ME? SINCE THE INCIDENT, CAR NOW HAS ACCELERATION PROBLEMS AT LOW SPEEDS; FEELING LIKE IT WILL STALL WHEN PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL, BUT IT DOES NOT ACTUALLY STALL. CAR HAS BEEN AT DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY CANNOT REPEAT THE PROBLEM.

  CV JOINTS WENT BAD AROUND 100,000 MILES WHEN WARRANTY EXPIRED. ALL FREEWAY DRIVING, EVEN THO CAR WAS PURCHASED FOR MORE OFF ROAD/UNPACKED ROAD USE, WHICH HASN'T HAPPENED MUCH.

• 11/19/2021· POWER TRAIN

  I have owned this vehicle since 2018 and at random times on the highway the engine will lose power and the car will drift to a halt. No warning signs beforehand and this has happened at various stages of highway drives. Pressing the accelerator will only cause the car to slow more. After each time I have had it towed to the nearest Subaru dealership and they cannot find any issues. I have read several other complaints on here describing the issue perfectly. It seems either Subaru cannot figure out whats wrong or simply doesn't care. I have been very lucky to have gotten to safety each time this has happened but I feel serious harm can be caused by this problem. My vehicle has been inspected by several different Subaru dealerships and I get the same runaround every time. The service reps cannot find anything wrong with the engine and no codes come up when they plug it in. Subaru needs to figure this out as there is clear documentation here that this is a large problem. This has forced me to sell what otherwise would be a good car and find something else.

• 11/18/2016· VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

  AFTER REMOVING CAR FROM GARAGE, WHILE SLOWLY DRIVING UPHILL IN ALLEY (LESS THAN 15 MPH ), CAR ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN WHILE MY RIGHT FOOT WAS IN THE AIR ON THE WAY TO BRAKE TO SLOW DOWN FOR A TURN. THE CAR MOVED & SOUNDED AS IF ACCELERATOR HAD BEEN DEPRESSED, BUT IT WASN'T BY THE DRIVER! I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE CAR WITH THE BRAKE, BUT UNINTENDED ACCELERATION CAUSED CAR TO OVERSHOOT WHERE I WANTED IT TO GO BY SEVERAL FEET. IT DIDN'T COLLIDE WITH ANYTHING. I HEARD A "THUNK" BELOW CAR A COUPLE OF SECONDS BEFORE THE ACCELERATION. I BROUGHT CAR TO DEALER AT EARLIEST APPOINTMENT - OCT. 11. THEY SUGGESTED IT WAS THE CONTINUOUS VARIABLE TRANSMISSION. I KNEW CAR WELL ENOUGH TO KNOW WHAT I EXPERIENCED WAS NOT HOW CVT OPERATES & INSISTED ON SPEAKING TO SUPERVISORS. THEY HELPED ME OPEN AN INVESTIGATION BY SUBARU. I GAVE SUBARU WRITTEN CONSENT TO ACCESS THE CAR'S BLACK BOX. THEIR INSPECTOR (FROM BOSCH AUTOMOTIVE SERVICES) DOWNLOADED BLACK BOX & CAR'S OTHER COMPUTERS, PERFORMED A PHYSICAL INSPECTION & TEST DROVE. HE SAID IT WAS UNLIKELY TO BE CAUSED BY CVT OR THE CRUISE CONTROL, & FOUND NO DAMAGE UNDER CAR. ON 11/10/16, I GOT E-MAIL FROM SUBARU THAT NO DEFECTS WERE FOUND, NO DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES WERE STORED, & "THE VEHICLE IS OPERATING AS DESIGNED." I CALLED THE SIGNER, WHO STATED THE "IMPACT OF THE ACCELERATION WAS NOT ENOUGH TO STORE." SHE REFUSED TO PROVIDE ME COPIES OF THE COMPUTER PRINTOUTS OR ANY OTHER DOCS FROM INVESTIGATION, CLAIMING THEY ARE PROPRIETARY TO SUBARU, EVEN THOUGH THE DATA, AS PART OF CAR, BELONGS TO ME! WHILE CAR WAS OUT OF SERVICE OVER 30 DAYS, LEMONLAW DIDN'T TAKE CASE AS NO DEFECT WAS FOUND. I UNDERSTAND INTERMITTENT ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL PROBLEMS DON'T LEAVE DTC CODES. DON'T KNOW IF I CAN TRUST THIS CAR, AS MALFUNCTION'S CAUSE WAS NEVER FOUND. NHTSA SHOULD ISSUE REGS ON ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL SAFETY AS OWNERS CAN'T SUE!

  SUNROOF EXPLODED WHILE I WAS DRIVING 60 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. I HEARD A LOUD BOOM, LIKE A GUN FIRING, AND THEN GLASS FLYING EVERYWHERE. GLASS WENT IN MY EYES, ON MY HEAD, DOWN MY JACKET, ALL OVER IN THE CAR, AND ALL OVER THE ROOF. THE SUNROOF WAS "BUBBLED" OUTWARDS. THIS IS A NEW VEHICLE WITH LESS THAN 450 MILES.

• 11/15/2018· VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

  FROM A STOP OR AT LOW SPEEDS, WHEN YOU PRESS THE GAS PEDAL THERE IS A DELAY OF APPROXIMATELY 1.5 SECONDS BEFORE THE ENGINE RESPONDS. THIS IS PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS WHEN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC FROM A DRIVEWAY, OR IF YOU NEED TO QUICKLY MANEUVER TO AVOID A COLLISION. SUBARU TECHNICIANS HAVE INSPECTED THE VEHICLE, AND THEY SAY NOTHING IS WRONG MECHANICALLY. I BELIEVE THIS IS A FLAW IN THE ECM PROGRAMMING. A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH REVEALS HUNDREDS OF OTHER PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH VARIOUS MODELS OF SUBARU. THERE ARE SEVERAL AFTERMARKET DEVICES WHICH CLAIM TO FIX THIS BY CONNECTING TO THE OBDII PORT AND CHANGING THE PROGRAMMING SO IT MATCHES THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL LINEARLY. ONE SUCH DEVICE IS HTTPS://WWW.SPRINTBOOSTERSALES.COM/SUBARU I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO RELY ON AN AFTERMARKET ACCESSORY TO ADDRESS A CRITICAL SAFETY ISSUE.

• 11/10/2025· SUSPENSION

  UNKNOWN exact cause. Rear end of vehicle suddenly appears lower than normal. Suspension seems to be issue. Feels as though vehicle lost suspension in rear with no obvious outward cause. Awaiting inspection at dealership. Does not seem safe to drive in current condition with unknown cause of issue at this time. having vehicle towed to dealership for further diagnostics today.

• 10/22/2019· UNKNOWN OR OTHER

  DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY FOR 1.5 HRS WHEN CAR JUST WENT LIMP. ACCELERATOR WOULDN'T WORK, STARTED TO PULL OVER, CAR CAME TO STOP AND IT WAS DEAD, EXCEPT FOR ELECTRICAL. TRIED TO RESTART FOR OVER AN HOUR AND ALTHOUGH IT CRANKED, IT WOULD NOT TURN OVER. AGAIN ALL ELECTRICAL WAS FULLY FUNCTIONAL. AFTER HAVING IT TOWED, THE NEXT DAY IT STARTED RIGHT UP AND NO WARNING LIGHTS ARE ON ON THE DASH AT ALL. VEHICLE IS SERVICED AS SCHEDULED, AND ONLY HAS 47,000. AFTER RESEARCHING FORUM I HAVE FOUND IT IS SOMEWHAT A POPULAR THING BUT DEALEERSHIPS CANNOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM, YET IN KEEPS RECURRING TO OWNERS. SEEMS TO BE A FACTORY ISSUE OR SOME SORT OF FAULTY PART THAT IS CUTTING THE FUEL PROCESS. WHEN YOU ARE STUCK ON THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY IN THE DARK, IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND JUST HOPE NO OTHER CAR HAPPENS TO SWERVE AND HIT YOU. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED BECAUSE IT SOUNDS LIKE A POPULAR OCCURRENCE WITH THE VEHICLE.

• 10/10/2019· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

  VARIOUS WARNING SYMBOLS ON THE DASH WILL ILLUMINATE FOR NO REASON WHEN THE CAR IS OPERATING AND IS IN MOTION ON EITHER HIGHWAY OR CITY STREET. DIFFERENT SYMBOLS AT DIFFERENT TIMES. INCLUDED ARE LOW TIRE PRESSURE, DYNAMIC CONTROL, HILL START ASSIST, ABS. THESE WARNING LIGHTS WILL JUST COME ON EITHER BY THEMSELVES OR SEVERAL AT A TIME. THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WILL ALSO BECOME NON-RESPONSIVE WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE WHILE IN MOTION IN TRAFFIC ON A CITY STREET. THE CAR WILL ACTUALLY START TO DECELERATE. PUMPING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL HAS BROUGHT RESPONSIVENESS BACK. BRAKE LIGHTS WILL ALSO COME ON ON THEIR OWN WHEN THE CAR IS PARKED, ENGINE OFF, NOT OPERATING AND WILL COMPLETELY DRAIN THE BATTERY. CANNOT EVEN UNLOCK THE CAR WITH THE KEY FOB. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE PAST MONTH.

• 10/04/2017· POWER TRAIN

  I HAVE RANDOM BUT CONSISTENT PROBLEMS WITH MY 2015 SUBARU CROSSTREK IN REGARDS TO THE CVT, STALLING AND ACCELERATION ISSUES. I HAVE COMPLAINED TO THE DEALERSHIP ON MANY OCCASIONS. WHEN COMING TO A STOP AND THEN ACCELERATING AGAIN IT FEELS AS IF THE CAR IS ABOUT TO STALL AND IN SOME SITUATIONS I FELT IT DID FOR A SECOND. ITS A VERY FRIGHTENING SITUATION WHEN MERGING INTO TRAFFIC OR DRIVING DEFENSIVELY AND THE CAR JUST DOESN'T RESPOND. I HAVE COME VERY CLOSE TO BEING HIT BECAUSE THE CAR DID NOT RESPOND. ANOTHER WAY TO EXPLAIN IT IS THIS: WHEN STARTING FROM A COMPLETE STOP, ITS LIKE THE CAR SHIFTS FROM 1ST TO 4TH IN A SPLIT SECOND AND THE CAR FAILS TO ACCELERATE AND IT TAKES ABOUT 5 SECONDS FOR THE CAR TO RESPOND AND SLOWLY PICK UP SPEED LIKE IT WAS ACCELERATING STARTING IN THE WRONG GEAR (4TH). I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS FOR OVER 2 YEARS NOW AND I'D LIKE TO GET THIS FIXED ASAP. PLEASE ISSUE A RECALL FOR THESE CVTS AND HAVE THE MANUFACTURER FIX THEM. JUST EXTENDING THE WARRANTY TO 100K DOES NO GOOD BECAUSE I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP LAST WEEK AND TIMES BEFORE AND THEY DIDN'T FIX ANYTHING, THEY JUST COLLECTED DATA AND SENT IT TO SUBARU BUT I STILL HAVE THE ISSUE. I ALSO NOTICED THE PROBLEM MORE PROMINENT WHEN THE WEATHER IS WARMER WHICH LEADS ME TO ALSO SUSPECT AN AIR/FUEL ISSUE OR SOMETHING ELSE ADDING TO THE PROBLEM.

  KEY KEPT GETTING STUCK IN THE IGNITION WHEN THE CAR WAS PARKED (AND THE SHIFTER IN THE PARK POSITION). THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN FROM SUBARU FOR FIVE OF THEIR MODELS. APPARENTLY THE CAUSE IS CONTAMINATION OF THE PARK-RANGE SWITCH INTERNAL COMPONENTS. THEY DID THE REPAIR WORK AND IT WORKS FINE NOW. I SENSE A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM.

  My vehicle had the recall for Brake Lamp Light Switch in Feb 2019. I went to the Carr Subaru dealership in Portland Oregon to get my recall fixed. They assured me that the work was done and the Brake Lamp Light Switch was replaced. Fast forward to last week when my car suddenly stopped working. The engine would not start and even while driving the brake lights were not showing. I almost had a collision because the car behind me did not see my brake lights when I was braking!! I now live in Memphis TN and we took the car to the Subaru dealership in town on Hacks Cross Road. They told us that even though my car records show that my Brake Lamp Light Switch was fixed in 2019 it was never actually changed. I was appalled to hear this, shocked that I could have been seriously hurt due to this negligence.

BULLETIN NUMBER 16-112-18R ADDRESSES THE ISSUE THAT WE ARE HAVING WITH OUR CROSSTREK. PEOPLE ARE SAYING ONLINE THAT THEY ARE SPENDING $400+ TO GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED. WHY ISN'T SUBARU DOING A RECALL ON THIS IF LOT OF CARS ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE? THE PRICE TO GET THIS FIXED IS A LOT CONSIDERING THE CAR IS NOT THAT OLD AND THIS IS NOT A WEAR AND TEAR ISSUE.

  I bought in 2019 4 brand new car tires (Continental TureContact 225/55 R17) at Discount Tires still have receipt. Tires are maintained on a regular bases (rotation and alignment check). I noticed a vibration in my steering wheel and ask my garage to check alignment. He stated alignment is good but he saw on the 2 front tires that there is belt separation. In all my life I never had this happen before. I was told by my garage that looks like a manufacturing problem. This is dangerous and needs to be addressed and Continental needs to be held accountable for this. I went back where I bought the tires with my receipt and told them they need to check all 4 tires for this defect. For right now I cannot drive the car until Discount Tires takes a look at it. These tires have an 80,000 Miles warranty. If I wouldn't been so attentive to my car and tires I and its mechanical, I never would have known, that I am driving my car with unsafe manufactured tires. One question: How difficult is it to manufacture good and SAFE products? DO IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME!!

FOLLOWING BOTH TIMES THE ENGINE CUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING, THE NEXT TIME THE CAR WAS SHUT OFF AND THEN A RESTART WAS ATTEMPTED, THE KEYLESS IGNITION WOULD NOT WORK BUT AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS, THE GREEN LIGHT WOULD APPEAR IN THE PUSH START BUTTON AND THE CAR WOULD START. CAR HAS BEEN AT THE DEALER FOR OVER 20 DAYS. THEY HAVE INDICATED THE PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES TO A MECHANIC BUT THEY CANNOT DETERMINE THE CAUSE.

  I WAS DRIVING MY 2015 SUBARU CROSSTREK. I HAD BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY FOR AN HOUR. I WAS GOING ABOUT 78MPH. THE CAR SUDDENLY STARTED GETTING LOUD AND THE TACHOMETER WAS REVVING DOWN. IT WENT QUICKLY FROM 3 TO 0 AND IMMEDIATELY SHUT DOWN. WHEN I REALIZED IT WAS REVVING DOWN AND GETTING LOUDER I BEGAN TO SHIFT TOWARDS THE LANES ON THE RIGHT TO THE BREAK DOWN LANE. MY CAR DIDN'T MAKE IT. IT WAS ABOUT 3 MIN FROM WHEN I REALIZED SOMETHING WAS WRONG. I GOT STUCK IN THE LANE RIGHT NEXT TO THE PASSING LANE WITH 2 OTHER LANES ON THE RIGHT OF ME TO GET TO THE BREAKDOWN LANE. MY CAR HAD POWER, MY HAZARDS WERE ON, MY RADIO WAS ON, MY WINDOWS OPENED AND THE CAR WOULDN'T TURN ON. I GOT MY CAR TOWED TO MY MOMS AND IT TURNED ON AT ARRIVAL ABOUT 14 MIN AFTER IT SHUT DOWN ON ME. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT HOME 14 MIN AWAY AND THEN DRIVE IT 35 MIN TO A SUBARU DEALER. THE DEALER SAYS ITS THE BATTERY BUT IT DOESNT MAKE SENSE TO ME IF THE CAR IGNITION WOULDN'T GO ON BUT LIGHTS RADIO AND WINDOWS WORKED AND 15 MIN LATER THE CAR TURNED ON AND DROVE LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED.

• 08/07/2018· SERVICE BRAKES

  SOMETIMES WHEN PUSHING THE BRAKE PEDAL THE ABS LIGHT COMES ON AND WILL NOT ALLOW THE CAR TO SHIFT FROM PARK. OTHER TIMES MAY COME ON WHILE DRIVING. THE CAR ONLY HAS 25K MILES ON IT. I DON'T WANT TO DRIVE ANYWHERE AND GET STUCK THERE NOR DO I NEED A BRAKE PROBLEM IN SNOW AS I LIVE IN NEW YORK STATE. AFTER READING ONLINE IT SEEMS TO BE NOT AN UNCOMMON ISSUE BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. AFTER SHUTTING THE CAR ON AND OFF MULTIPLE TIMES THE ABS LIGHT GOES OUT AND THE CAR IS THEN ABLE TO SHIFT. AGAIN I DON'T NEED TO WORRY ABOUT MY PERSONAL SAFETY OR SAFETY OF THE PASSENGERS IN MY CAR.

  AFTER PUTTING MY CAR IN PARK, MY KEY WILL NOT COME OUT OF THE IGNITION. I HAVE TO REVERSE AND DRIVE UP AGAIN AND THEN PARK AGAIN, IN ORDER FOR MY KEY TO THEN FINALLY COME OUT. I'M NERVOUS THAT WON'T WORK FOR LONG. I'VE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS EXACT SAME ISSUE AND YET SUBARU HASN'T ISSUED A RECALL. HOPING WE WON'T BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COST TO REPAIR WHAT IS OBVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURER ISSUE! SUBARU PLEASE INVESTIGATE!!
