Subaru Xv crosstrek problems
The Subaru Crosstrek (Japanese: スバル・クロストレック, Hepburn: Subaru Kurosutorekku) (also known as the Subaru XV globally for the first two generations) is a compact crossover SUV produced by Subaru since 2012. It is a successor to the Outback Sport in the United States and Canada, and the Impreza XV globally. Like the Outback Sport, the Crosstrek is a lifted Impreza hatchback with minor differences, though with a more substantial lift than the Outback Sport.
Initially, the vehicle was marketed as the XV globally, and as the XV Crosstrek in the United States and Canada. In 2015, Subaru dropped the XV moniker in the United States and Canada, marketing it simply as the Crosstrek for the 2016 model year and onward. In 2022, Subaru introduced the third-generation model, using the Crosstrek nameplate globally for the first time.
All generations of the Crosstrek are raised versions of the Subaru Impreza hatchback.

Subaru Xv crosstrek 2014
- Date Of Incident: 2023-12-03
- Date Complaint: 2024-01-28
- VIN: JF2GPAVC8E8
- Components: UNKNOWN OR OTHER
- Summary: I started having issues with my car when I could not turn it off -- the key was stuck in the ignition and I was unable to turn the car fully off. This continued to happen and the only fix I found to get the car off was to turn the car back on, shift the gear into drive, then try to turn it off again. Sometimes it would take repeated tries of turning the car on and trying to turn it off. The problems then got worse when I started to have issues starting the car as well; the car would struggle to start and I lost confidence in the vehicle. Every workday I have to drive my car to a location where I have to turn off my vehicle while a security check is performed -- one day I got stuck at this checkpoint when I could not start my car. I was afraid to drive my car, thinking I could get stuck somewhere with it running or with it unable to start. A certified Subaru repair shop confirmed the issue is a known problem with Subaru parts described in a Technical Service Bulletin [XXX] ). There were no warning lights before these problems began and the Subaru dealer told me when they initially ran a diagnostic on the car it came back as having no issues. Since having the part in the gear shifter replaced at personal expense all problems have been resolved. Since Subaru knew of the faulty part in their vehicles, I think they should have issued a recall or at minimum warned their drivers.

- VIN: JF2GPASCXF8
- Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
- Summary: During a near collision, attempted to warn other driver of the situation, but the Crosstrek horn did not work. This appears to be a common problem with these vehicles, that the horn does not work reliably in all normal steering wheel positions. Given the horn is an essential piece of safety equipment, this is a significant problem.

- Date Of Incident: 2023-05-15
- Date Complaint: 2023-09-15
- VIN: JF2GPAVC7D2
- Components: EQUIPMENT
- Summary: For the record I'm going to list the items here I'd rather them go down in writing then for my words to not have a witness. 1- safety : the Bluetooth connection is busted and crackling for both me and the caller 2- Automation: nothing happens automatic in this car the locks do not go down when I get in motion . the sunroof and the windows do not roll up in auxiliary power after the key is off. 3- Oil: every thousand Miles the oil light to show up I cannot live like that carrying oil in my car when I run a thousand miles every 3 weeks. 4- DENT REPAIR : have asked you to schedule the date guy to pull this dent out of the front driver wheel well and that hasn't happened yet 5- locking mechanism: the trunk has to be slammed closed every time. The passenger side seat belt noise comes on even if I put a bag of to go food in the seat. 6- sanitation: these seats are infected with something I have cleaned them multiple times and my passengers are complaining of itching and feeling a bite when they ride. 7- the front passenger seat has obviously some strong stain that resembles body fluid because it will not come up even when i clean up in the seat of the cushion it keeps reappearing to the surface. 8- overhead: when it rains above my head you can hear sounds of rain as though it's literally trickling in at the driver door. More than I have noticed that sound I'm not sure what's going on in the overhead but it shouldn't sound like that. PLEASE AND THANKS

Congratulations on your purchase of a Certified Pre-Owned 2015 Subaru XV Crosstrek with the amazing Eyesight package! It's great to hear that you were able to find a vehicle that met your needs and budget. The Eyesight package is truly impressive and provides a significant safety upgrade with its front-facing cameras and audible alerts. It's reassuring to know that it can help you in emergency situations and control the vehicle's adaptive cruise control. The Crosstrek as a whole is a reliable and safe vehicle, perfect for small families. I highly recommend looking into this technology for anyone in the market for a new car. Thank you for sharing your positive experience with us!
Hi there! Although we haven't had the car for very long, we've already discovered some great features. One of our favorites is the adaptive cruise control, which is only available with the Eyesight package. It's really smart and will cruise for you at any predetermined maximum speed, slowing down if the traffic in front of you gets too close or slows down. It keeps a distance of 2, 1.5, or 1 seconds behind the vehicle in front of you, and lets you know with tones when it has 'locked in' on a vehicle. It's amazing to feel your vehicle brake, decelerate, and come to a full stop without touching the pedals (if it comes to a full stop, you get a tone, and about a seconds warning before the cruise control shuts off and the car will idle forward). The future is here!
If you're in the market for a relatively inexpensive SUV that rides nicely, has enough space, and keeps you, your family, and your dog safe, then the Crosstrek might be the perfect choice for you. The Special Edition that's coming out later in 2016 sounds very attractive, with lane-change assist and some more advanced auto-driving technologies. Let us know if you have any questions or if we can help you in any way! -

My girlfriend and I were searching for a replacement for her aging Honda Civic four door, as maintenance costs were becoming too high. We compiled a short list of cars and small SUVs to consider over the course of a year. She quickly became partial to Subaru, but was unsure whether to go with the Forester, Impreza, or Crosstrek. If you're looking for cargo space with a higher roof line, there are other models out there that fit the bill better and offer more accessories. However, we kept coming back to Subaru due to their legendary reliability, safety, and AWD capabilities. Since this was a sometimes commuter car and grocery hauler, we didn't need massive cargo space, and she wanted something more There are no difficult blind spots and the view is wide open and easy. I read a professional review and I don't find the CVT transmission and engine to be overly noisy as described, but rather normal and non-fussy for its type. The first few times I drove the Crosstrek, I thought it was a bit underpowered when I needed the extra juice to get around slow drivers or to merge. But then I discovered the joys of the paddle shifters on the steering wheel, and well... it was a game changer. This car is very capable if you simply downshift when you need extra power. Since I drove a standard stick shift for many years, and my Ford Thunderbird has Select-shift, it was very easy for me to understand the mechanics and make the switch when needed. The backup camera is extremely useful and gives great confidence when backing out of the driveway or a parking spot. I'm glad all cars will be outfitted with this feature by law in the near future as standard. At 1,500 miles, I changed the oil and filter at Jiffy Lube and learned that it takes synthetic oil, which is more expensive. I did this to remove the metal shavings that occur during break-in and to help ensure years of service. My only issue with the car is getting in and out. I'm not an overweight guy, nor overly tall, but you have to take care to duck when getting into the car so you don't bump your head on the roofline. However, it's expected when purchasing a car with low, car-like clearance. We've hauled lots of groceries and home goods with plenty of room. The ride is not jittery, but smooth. It's summer/fall, so we have not had the opportunity to drive in the snow, but it handles wet pavement just fine. The bottom line is that you owe it to yourself to test this car. I got a really good deal, pushing the value of this car well into the best value range. It keeps getting better as we drive it. Update: 09/28/2016 - We still own the Crosstrek, and it does not disappoint.It's our

Hi there! I hope you're doing well. I wanted to share my experience with my Crosstrek Limited Edition, which I purchased brand new in 2015. I noticed that while in idle, the car shakes a bit. I had a 2000 VW Jetta before, and it never shook that much. I live in Southern California, so I know it's not the cold weather. I took it to the Subaru repair shop, and they said it's typical with box engines. Still, I'm doubtful because the car had only 70 miles when it was sold to me as 'new.' Can anyone share their experience with their new Crosstreks? Thank you so much!

I recently posted a review of the Crosstrek Premium CVT, and after several additional weeks of driving the vehicle, I have consistently been getting 32+ MPG combined and 37 MPG highway. This has been a pleasant surprise, as Subaru advertises 28 MPG combined and 33 MPG highway. While the Crosstrek may not have sports car-like acceleration in mid-range, I highly recommend taking it for a test drive. You may be pleasantly surprised!

I owned a subaru forester from 1999-2004...loved the car. Not the nicest looking car but I lived in Colorado at the time and it was the perfect car to commute with as well had drive to the mountains. Since then I moved back east and stuck with toyota/lexus. With the new hybrid crosstrek I thought I would give it another try. I bought the car as a demo model so I did get a great deal, but long story short I was very disappointed. I kept the car only a few months and traded it back in. What a piece of junk. First.. no where near the 29/33. I averaged 23 mpg. The interior of the car was like a toy car. Very low quality. Overall the car is a piece of junk. Beware.

I purchased my 2014 Subaru just over a year ago. During this past winter, I noticed that the heat system was not working as well as I had hoped. My feet and legs would get quite cold, and I even considered using a heating blanket. Additionally, the heating system is quite noisy at highway speeds, making it difficult to listen to my audio books. Finally, some of these issues might be more tolerable if the MPG was better than 23 using 87 octane. However, the service representative informed me that the computer indicates 26 MPG, despite the winter weather.

I'm glad to hear that you're enjoying your car! It sounds like it's been a reliable and easy-to-use vehicle for you and your family. While there have been a few minor issues with the seats and stock tires, it's great to hear that those are your only complaints after 25,000 miles. It's also impressive that you've been able to go so long without any repairs. It's wonderful that your children have been able to learn to drive with this car, and that it's been such a great teaching tool. Overall, it sounds like you've had a great experience with this car and I hope it continues to serve you well!I'm considering making this my 8-year-old's first car. Child three actually learned to drive on this car and it's still a great vehicle to teach a young driver. Currently, there are three wheel bearings and a ball joint that need to be replaced, and the brake pedal is a bit soft. Unfortunately, the dealer is asking for nearly $3,000 to replace the bearings, ball joint, and a small exhaust piece. After 8 years, I've decided to trade this car in for a Hyundai with a great warranty. It was a great car until now, but the repairs are too expensive. The dealer is offering me $12,000 for the trade-in, so I think $6,000 for a new car is a great deal. Before buying a Crosstrek, make sure to look up the bearing issues, as it's a real problem.

My husband and I had a Toyota for over 10 years, followed by a Honda CRV for another 10 years, both of which were trouble-free. However, we made the mistake of purchasing a Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid 2014, which looked great on the outside. Unfortunately, we started receiving a message on the dashboard every time we started the car that said 'check hill start assist'. Despite informing the service people during our first service, they were unable to find anything wrong or see the message. The message continued to appear on and off until November/December 2015, when more messages appeared and the check engine light came on and stayed on all the time. We took the car in for a check-up in November, and they told us they had fixed the issue and the lights went away. However, within a few months, the messages reappeared, and we took the car back in March for them to 'fix' it again. After waiting for over an hour, they finally told us that there was a transmission control cover problem, and they would have to keep the car until June 2015 because they had to order the part. In the middle of April, we called Subaru for an update, and after a few words with the manager, they told us the car would be ready at the end of April. We received a call on Friday, April 29, 2015, informing us that they had changed the transmission control cover, and the lights went away, and everything was fine. We picked up the car that same day. Unfortunately, by Sunday, May 1 (just two days after picking up the car), the lights that they claimed had gone away reappeared.Hello! I hope you're doing well. I just wanted to check in and see if there's any update on my car. I brought it in on May 2nd and I'm still waiting to hear back. I'm a bit concerned about the situation, but I'm sure we can work together to find a solution. I'm currently using the warranty to address the issue, but I'm wondering what options I'll have once it runs out. Thank you for your help!

Hi there! I hope you're doing well. I noticed that you were in the market for a new car. It's great to hear that you've had such a positive experience with your 2000 Impreza! I wanted to let you know that the 2012 Impreza with the 2.0 engine and CVT transmission is rated at an impressive 36 MPG, which is fantastic for an AWD vehicle. I test drove one myself, but wasn't completely sold on it at first. However, Subaru must have been listening because not long after, they introduced the Crosstrek. They fixed everything that I didn't like about the Impreza, including the shocks, brakes, and the fact that the base model didn't have cruise control. The Crosstrek has better suspension, huge killer brakes, a bigger gas tank and radiator, and a lower gear ratio. Plus, it has nice 17
