I was driving in traffic to complete stop, as i was accelerating the vehicle stalled. this has happened only once. i have had another incident when i was backing up to park my car in my garage, my back up camera froze while im still in motion then the infotainment reboots.
While driving down interstate highway, lots of warning lights suddenly appeared on dashboard. car would only brake, not accelerate. after safely pulling off to side of road, car engine would not start. i was initially told the ecm (compuer) failed, but now it's an engine problem. nearly 2 weeks later, car is still in the shop.
I purchased a new 2019 subaru crosstrek plug-in hybrid vehicle from ocean subaru of fullerton ca on july26, 2019. a charging cable w/ charging circuit interrupting device came standard equipment w/ my vehicle. when i used the cable to charge my vehicle, i was going to insert the charger plug (3 prong plug) into my 110v outlet. but in order to do it, i would need to twist the cord that extends from the ccid into the plug to make it fit. the ground for the outlets is always positioned on the bottom of the plug. i realized that twisting the cord to make it fit is contrary to the directions that are in the owners manual. the way the subaru charging plug is fitted onto the cord, it is upside down, therefore, you have to twist the cord so the round bottom ground plug will fit into the slot. the ccid has lights on the front indicating power is on, charging, or an error alert. if i simply turned the unit backwards, the plug would fit just fine. but that is not how it is described or shown in the owners manual. it clearly shows that the front of the ccid should face frontwards so you can see the indicator lights. simply put, the design and/or manufacture of the plug needs to be positioned the opposite way. in the owners manual, and w/ the charging plug itself, there are very explicit directions on what to do and not do w/ the charging plug. always have the plug straight, no kinks or loops, no twisting the cable to prevent fires and/or explosion. by not correcting this error in the plug positioning, constant twisting of the cable could result in frayed or weakened wires within the rubber cord insulation, causing an unintended consequence, like a fire or explosion. sincerely,[xxx]ps. i can send photos of the charging cable and the image of the charging procedure from the owners manual if you need it. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *js *tt *as *tr
Hi. i purchase my 2019 subaru crosstrek in october of 18 because i decided to suck it up and have a payment to ensure i had a safe vehicle for myself and for my son. since we always purchase subarus through my work, i went that route because i've been very pleased with them especially with safety. in may of 2000 19, i was driving to harrisburg for work and i had my son with me and a whole egg that was presenting at the conference we were headed to. on the way there, on 22 east where there was a lot of construction but a highway, i went to go around a truck where i accelerated and went to go into the slower lane once i passed him but all the sudden, i lost complete power and my car shut off!!! i hurried up and got it back on and somehow the truck that i just passed was able to maneuver but it was super scary. sadly, this happened two more times on the strip where my car just shut off so i just stayed in the slow lane and prayed while i was in one lane because i called subaru and they told me that.. i'm just recalling all this now because i got the recall in the mail. i had called subaru the week before i went on this trip and they told me that they thought it was a few ignition thing. and that i should get gas and see if all the lights turned off because all the lights and turn on after the first time it is shut off. long story short, they kept it for about a thousand miles to test it out because i was adamant that i didn't want it back until it was safe so they replace the tire sensor which i had known for my last vehicle would not cause the car to shut off but they assured me this would solve the problem. i haven't had any problems since except for the continued electrical problems that i have inside the car and where the car runs at night even after its shut off.
My new subaru crosstrek has a problem with the radio preset stations. i programmed them soon after i purchased the car but 6 weeks later the preset stations disappeared and only the pre-installed (free trial) stations on sxm radio were working. i had to reprogram the stations. when i called the dealership, auto fair of haverhill, ma, they said they were aware of the 'recall' (their term not mine) but that the recall was recalled due to problems with the 'software update '. they asked me to call again next week to see if a solution is available
Car has repeatedly turned itself off while driving. twice, when pressing the brakes while exiting the highway, all dashboard lights (eyesight alarms, check engine, etc.) will turn on. when the car comes to a stop, the oil light also turns on and the engine shuts off, essentially putting the car in neutral. the dash instructs to put the car in park. the car starts again after pushing the ignition to turn off the car and turning it back on again, but will have the same thing happen the next time the brakes are pressed and the car slows down. it has turned off twice while the vehicle is in motion, going slowly. after three first instances of this problem, the car was towed to the dealer where they found a "fatal error of the ecm" and the main computer in the car was changed and the grounds were tested. the second instance of this problem occurred on the same day the vehicle was picked up from repairs. the car had ~200 miles when the problem first occurred and has less than 250 currently. in summary, the car has turned off, making it unable to accelerate, while in traffic on several occasions. there were issues with apple carplay glitching just before each instance occurred. the instances were exactly one week apart.
I purchased my 2019 crosstrek in november of 2018. on numerous occasions the radio / touchscreen resets itself. however before each self started reset a loud buzzing or static noise comes across the speakers scaring the ever living daylights out of me (the driver). this is a safety concern / hazard as i was driving on the interstate on one occasion of this. i have had the whole system replaced by my dealership at no charge 1 month after purchase. yet the radio still has the same issues. all radio stations i have programmed in are erased with each self restart of the radio / touch screen that god awful noise still happens. subaru dealership says there are no software or hardware updates at this time. so what the heck gives!! seriously someone is going to crap their pants and have a heart attack driving this vehicle what the radio blasts static air waves across our speakers!
