My wife was driving on the freeway going 45mph in a straight line when the vehicle suddenly lost all power and turned off. As a result my wife was rear ended but suffered no major physical injury. We brought the car to the manufacturer and they inspected it. However, they were not able to find any problems with the vehicle. A few months after the accident, there was a recall for this vehicle make and model for sudden loss of power but my VIN is not included in the recall.
2017 Subaru Crosstrek transmission complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 14 of 14, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Key gets stuck in ignition after vehicle parked. Key cannot be removed. Sensor does not recognize that the car is in park. Problem corresponds to subaru service bulletin 16-112-18r.
I lease a 2017 subaru crosstrek. The car has been faithfully maintained as per manufacturer specifications and has never been in an accident/experienced any body damage. The rear wheel bearings have failed three times prior to 48k. The left wheel bearing was replaced twice between 48k and 55 k and the right wheel bearing was replaced around 52k. Apparently, this is a common defect and the dealer noted that all wheel bearings on every subaru fail prior to 50k. For a rather pricey car, this is unacceptable and a huge safety hazard. If the wheel bearings fail, it could lock up one wheel and cause the car to flip unexpectedly while driving additionally, you will drive the car one day without any issue and literally, the next day, you will start to hear a low groaning noise. I would like the nhsta to open a defects investigation as they can find the same problem across every subaru model from 2013-forward when the wheel bearing design was changed. Dealer records and warranty repairs can indicate this. The design allows for water and road debris to get inside of the bearing, causing premature wear and failure. It is unacceptable to have to replace wheel bearings on cars every 50k. My last vehicle (2007 hyundai sonata) drove flawlessly until 277k and I never had to change a wheel bearing in the 10 years I owned that vehicle. Shame on subaru!
The windshield on my 2017 crosstrek chips too easy. I have never had chips on any other vehicles windshield. The glass must be too soft. This has happened to my crosstrek a few times while in motion. My transmission feels like it sometimes slips, and shudders while the vehicle is in motion.
