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.

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. Guess if I did use it more off road this wld have happened earlier & be covered under warranty. Needs to be a recall on this issue.

Takata recall for the past year I have been checking my motor oil and refilling as needed. Learning to be a car mechanic is one of my hobbies that I like to do. In doing so, I always check my car and make sure its up and running with no issues. I have constantly notice that there was some oil under the engine whether old or fresh. Then just recently I went to my local subaru dealership to finally get to the bottom of it. As a result I learned that the cam box seal is leaking. I then did my research on it and found out that it's a common issue among other subaru owners and that other car brand uses gaskets in which it lasts longer. In my view, other owners may not know how or when to check under their car for these kind of issues and this can lead to the engine not having enough oil to burn and breaking down or similar situations. It may not be a short term effect but if it can be prevented it should be.
I have a 2015 crosstrek that has 31,000 miles on it and I have been having an issue when putting the car in park that you can not turn the key to the off position to shut the car down. I have had to play with the shifter putting the car in reverse and then in park again hoping this time I can turn the car off. Taking the car back to the dealer. These cars need to be recalled and fixed at subaru's expense, clearly they have issues.
While on a very slight downslope, with the transmission in park, the vehicel rolled down the hill with no one in it. Had I been standing in front of it, I would have been run over.
