My wife and i were driving from california to colorado last saturday, and our car stopped running halfway across utah. a valve spring blew a hole in our ignition and we had to get our vehicle towed 50 miles to the nearest car shop. my wife later found out that their was a recall on the vehicle for that exact same issue. i contacted subaru this morning about the recall and they said that i would have to get it towed to the nearest subaru dealership to get assistance. moreover they stated that because of my high milage it will depend whether or not they provide some coverage for the damages. my wife and i purchased the vehicle last year from heuberger motors, and were never informed about the recall. the vehicle is currently still being held by the towing company in utah, furthermore i'm currently stationed in fort carson colorado about 600 miles away.
I was involved in an accident on i-10 on 11/27/2019 at 2 pm. i was traveling at 60- to 65 mph and hit a suv that had stopped in the left hand lane. the airbags did not deploy ( passenger or driver side) i have reported this to subaru and so far they have not been helpful. i received contusions from my right hip to my left clavicle but no broken bones.
Factory recall for a valve spring and brake lamp switch replacement was completed on sept.25, 2019. the car engine caught on fire while i was driving on october 18, 2019. i was stopped at a red light on a city street. the police and fire departments were called to put out the flames. the fire marshal was present to document and take photos. my car was towed. i understand this has happened to cars involved in the recall.
after 7 weeks and multiple cosmetic attempts to repair the damage they did to my car i am still driving an unsafe car that smells of gas. all of this occurring after a faulty recall repair (that they do not deny) that nearly caused a multi car crash on rt495. what i want from patrick motors/ subaru of america: i want my car repaired as soon as possible to the satisfaction that the car is not dangerous to drive. can you help me!
2 belts came apart at 65k miles & were replaced on 4/14/2018. then again not even month after on 5/19/2018 2 belts were replaced again at 66k miles, and 3rd time on 8/18/2019 at 94k same 2 belts came apart and this time ruined radiator, engine and many other parts in the vehicle (vehicle would need to be taken apart to determine the damages) waiting to hear back from subaru's asking to fix the vehicle st ubarus expense.
On 07/08/2019 i took my subaru impreza to a local dealership to have recalls wue90 and wty84 competed. it now seems that whatever work was done to satisfy the recalls has been causing the car to malfunction. the recall service was completed on 07/09, and i picked it up that day. beginning on 07/10, however, the check engine and vehicle dynamics control warning lights started coming on intermittently. so far, these warning lights have displayed for a portion, or for the entirety, of 22 of the past 32 days. both lights (check engine and vdc) have displayed together every time, and are usually on or off when the vehicle is started. when the lights are on, the cruise control does not function and i have noticed a significant (-21.6%) decrease from my average gas mileage. on four occasions that i am able to recall, the warning lights also came on under braking (i.e. they were off when i started the car and then turned on at some point during my trip when i pressed the brakes). whether the warning lights are on or off, i have no way of knowing what isn't working (other than the cruise control as i mentioned). i have taken the vehicle back to subaru twice to try to resolve the issue: first on 07/10 and then on 08/07. they scanned the codes, did some work on it, and gave the car back to me, claiming that it was fixed. the one thing they are failing to consider is that the problem may actually be related to the service performed to complete the recalls because i've never had an issue with the vdc since i bought the car almost six years ago, and i don't believe the check engine light has come on during that period either. at this point, i don't even know if the car is safe to drive. attachment: photo of warning lights after leaving the camelback subaru (phoenix, az) service shop on 08/07/2019.
Recall work to replace the valve springs was performed may 13th. check engine light came on may 14th. less than 500 miles and one month later it threw a piston rod and blew the engine.
Received recall notice on faulty valve springs and was told by dealer it would be at least one year before they could make the repair. this timeframe is unacceptable considering the risk of engine malfunction i am assuming while waiting. why would you allow manufacturers to push out critical safety repairs that far out?????
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 subaru impreza. while driving approximately 60-65 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. the contact was able to restart the vehicle; however, there was no forward momentum. the vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed, but a fault code was unable to be retrieved. previously, the vehicle was repaired per nhtsa campaign number: 18v772000 (engine and engine cooling). gurley leep subaru (5302 grape rd, suite #2, mishawaka, in 46545, (574) 258-7700) was contacted by phone and an appointment was scheduled to have the vehicle diagnosed. the manufacturer was notified. the approximate failure mileage was 55,000.
Valve spring recall subaru dealership "fixed" my car due to this recall back in february 2019, according to manufacturers procedure. this included adding oil and also coolant to my vehicle. it was returned to me as soon as it was completed (took 4 days approx.) however, recently, the week of the 20th of may 2019, that is about 3 months after the "repair" done for the recall, my engine stalled while i was driving on the road. fortunately i was close to home and after struggling it turned on and i drove it home. had to tow it to the dealership to get it fixed again. i am afraid the issue with the engine, is far more serious, and subaru is not acknowledging the issue as they should. stalling in the middle of the road can be extremely dangerous. this needs to be fixed in a better matter. to which i think, all affected vehicles with this serious issue, need a new engine.
Excessive oil consumption. vehicle needs to have entire oil reservoir refilled every 3 or so days. when on highway, vehicles seizes up. the car slows way down by itself and the hill assist indicator light comes on as well as the check engine light. it loses control and the car starts shaking. i have seen too many people with this same exact issue and subaru refuses to help. this is an ongoing subaru problem and should be recalled!
I was driving and the cruise control light started blinking, the check engine light came on, and the traction control light came on. https://youtu.be/zujiggdqq5e

While traveling on the highway (i-79 in pa, just south of exit #68 mount nebo road), my engine lost power. i was traveling in a straight line at the time. i had it towed to a subaru dealership which confirmed it had seized. *dt added cspc shortly before this, i had received notice that i am a member of a class action settlement concerning subaru connecting rod bearings and main bearings. my car is a 2013 wrx, and wrx engines made between 2012 and 2017 are in the class. the dealership informed that although they had not yet inspected the engine to determine the cause, they guessed the cause was a turbo failure: which happens to be excluded from the settlement. ("guess" was the service manager's word, not mine.) i was further informed by this same service manager of my local dealer that a full engine inspection is required in order to determine the cause - which means it will cost me close to $900 for subaru to determine whether or not they will cover my repairs under the settlement. milage at the time of the engine failure was approximately 46,500 miles. *js

Subaru issued a safety recall in december of 2018, on january 14 2019 i contacted heuberger subaru of colorado springs co. about this recall and was told that the part had to be ordered, and that it would take approximately 2 weeks for the part to come in. it is now february 18 2019 and i have yet to be contacted by the dealership about this recall. when trying to reach the service department it always goes to voice mail. on the 18th of february i contacted subaru about this and was advised that a subaru dealer approximately 40 miles from home had the parts, but it would be june of 2019 before i could get an appointment.how long is it going to take to have this recall addressed

I have had a problem with the car burning oil since i bought the car. my oil light comes on after every 1000.00 miles and it is down at least a quart and a half each time . i change the oil every 3000 miles but i still have to put oil in in between. i ordered this car from a dealership rt from the factory. the oil consumption has been a problem since day one. i have brought it to the dealerships over 5-7 times. they will not acknowledge the problem .
Subaru - the valve springs located inside of engine. called two weeks ago for the parts and called again if the local repair shop knows when the part will be coming in. they had no idea. called subaru recall center. they have no idea how the parts are handled and how many are ready to shipped out for the repair shops.
Received a notice about safety recall (nhtsa id 18v-722) involving risk of valve spring failure that could lead to engine stalling and risk of crash. called our local subaru dealership in golden, co to have the issue resolved. was told that the earliest that they could get to it would be may of 2020 (15 months). "too many cars are being recalled at the same time. 150 ahead of us in the queue for this repair." this translates to only 10 recall repairs performed per month. said that they hope to move us earlier, but no promises were made. no comment about their liability should the failure occur during this over-one-year timeframe while waiting for this safety recall to be performed.
I initially called my local dealer to fix the recall (engine valve malfunction) on january 18, 2019. they soonest available date to schedule the repair was today, may 13, 2019 citing a back order on parts. almost 5 months later. attached is the screenshot of the day i made the phone call. they also indicated in the phone call when i made the appointment that the repair would not take long and i would have my car back the next day. today, they tell me that they will likely have my car for about a month because they are backlogged and the amount of work involved is "more than anyone anticipated." i feel that nearly 6 months cannot be considered a "reasonable amount of time."

I received an 'important safety recall' notice regarding my vehicle's engine issue that needs to be resolved. per the instructions on the notice, i called my local dealer to schedule an appointment. despite the stressed importance of the safety issues regarding this recall in the letter received via mail, the person at the dealership seemed to have no real concern or care for my vehicle's or personal safety, and told me i could go on a waitlist for the next few months as they wait for the parts to come in. i tried discussing my dissatisfaction, worry, and upset with the person at subaru, but all she said was that i had to wait. so i added my name to the waitlist, and contacted subaru directly, per the letter's instructions. same answer from subaru, claiming that they cannot repair my vehicle because not one single dealership has the parts to do so. i reiterated that this mean i had to hope my car wouldn't have an issue resulting in my personal safety or injury, and they agreed that yes, that's all i can do. absolutely ridiculous! if there is something dangerous enough about my vehicle that there is a nationwide recall, why is it that there is no rush to get these parts in to service those who have received your 'important safety recall' which states that 'you should immediately contact your subaru retailer for an appointment to have this important repair preformed' as it is in regards to a 'defect' in the engine of the vehicle that transports me and my family daily. absolutely not okay. good on subaru for notifying me, but absolutely not okay to have us wait months for a repair on an engine defect and instruct us to just 'hope nothing happens' in the meantime.

Mikes garage in goshen did my inspection in oct. inspecting my car he let me know i needed a serpentine belt because it was cracked and would most likely last 3 months. on nov 29th i drove home from chester and the car broke down. on nov 30th i towed it to the mechanic and i rented a car. he told me it was the belt issue and i needed an oil change. car was ready for pickup on 12/3. on 12/8 the car broke down in middletown and it was towed to subaru. on 12/10 subaru told me that the car diagnosis was a blown engine due to no oil. if i wanted to have it completely checked they would charge 1000 to take it apart and properly diagnosis it. i gave them the ok to do so. on 12/17 i went to mikes garage and showed him the estimate from subaru and asked him what was going to be done on his part. he said he had cameras to see the proper oil change and what was supposed to be reliable for my engine since he did what was supposed to be done. he told me about the recall on my car and that i should look into it. week of the 17th of december i called subaru and a case was opened for me. she called me back on december 27th her name was ms.quinn and said they couldn't do anything for me because i had taken it to this outside mechanic. they offered me a 500 coupon towards a brand new car. lol! the first week of jan i reached out to subaru again to speak to a mgr. after reviewing the case and reaching out to subaru he stated that he could not assist because the engine had failed due to no oil per subaru. he also stated that the recalled part was not broken in my subaru. at this point i had already spoken to mike who stated he had an engine for me to place in car for 500. i gave him the ok out of desperation. mike in goshen called feb 1st to let me know car was done we picked it up on saturday the 9th and on tuesday the 12th the car had leaking fluids and currently is not drive-able.
Subaru recall from october 2018. the car is starting to stall while driving. subaru is now telling me that i have to wait until late may to have my car repaired. this is unsafe and is my only vehicle for work. during driving on the expressway between 30 and 60mph or on city streets between 20-30pmh, the car just slows way down by itself and the hill start/assist warning light keeps coming on and periodically the vehicle dynamics control light also comes on. these issues have been ongoing and periodic but more and more frequent since december 2018.

There have been repeated and reoccurring issues related to oil consumption as well as a faulty cvt transmission. subaru has issued an extended 100,000 mile warranty, but this information was not provided directly to me. i found out about the extended warranty when i took the car in to a mechanic and they had knowledge of the extended warranty. the mechanic recommended i take it to a subaru service center to try and get it covered under warranty. the car had 94,000 miles at the time i was made aware of this on 6/22/18. since 6/22/18-11/2/19, i have repeatedly had reoccurring issues with both oil consumption and the cvt transmission. the service department has claimed to have repaired issues, but i have never had resolve of any of them. instead i feel as though i have been told each item has been repaired. if similar issues have occurred, like the oil light illuminating after the short block replacement, i been given the explanation that it is due to software issues that need updating. these excuses have been given repeatedly until the 12 month warranty of the parts in question has then passed. this same thing has occurred with the slipping cvt transmission that i reported on 6/22/18, and now i am being told the transmission needs to be replaced at a cost of $8,000 out of pocket. the car is not even valued at $8,000 anymore. i would strongly advise research into these faulty parts and the consumer deceit that has occurred to myself and millions of other subaru owners. deceiving consumers until extended warranty periods pass, and requiring consumers to pay out of pocket should be illegal. i see now why subaru opted for this extended warranty for both of these issues rather than admitting fault and providing a recall. this allows the deceit and subaru taking financial responsibility of repairs to occur by looping in the service department into this scam. do not buysubaru

Oil drips from gasket on too hot part of engine causing a serious fire hazard this has not happened to our vehicle yet but we were informed by our mechanic that there's a possibility that this could be a problem if not repaired have any incidents of this nature on subarus been recorded to this day?
Vechile burning oil at a rate of a quart every 1500 miles,subaru stated that this is normal, mechanics told me this is not normal..i have had old clunkers with high millage that did not burn this much oil.
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 subaru impreza. ever since the vehicle was purchased, it started to consume an extreme amount of oil, more than approximately a quarter every 1,200 miles. at approximately 5,500 miles, the vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the vehicle was consuming an excessive amount of oil and a test needed to be performed at 30,000 miles. per the dealer, the vehicle had to be taken every 1,200 miles for an oil consumption test. after the seventh test, it was determined by the dealer that the small block needed replacement. the vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 34,000.
When i listed my vin number my car did not show up as being recalled for the subaru valve spring recall. my five door impreza has a build date of 06-2013. the recall goes thru june 13 of 2013. nhtsa campaign number: 18v772000 i don't know the day my vehicle was manufactured and i don't know how to determine the day. however i do know mine was equipped with the weak springs. while my car was still under warranty i had a valve spring break while driven at approximately 50 mph on the hwy allowing the valve to travel into the cylinder. this destroyed one head and the piston. also scratching the cylinder wall. this required the replacement of the short block assembly and one head. now i still have one original head and one replacement head that i don't know the build date on. i think the recall should be expanded to cover cars built later than june 13 2013.
I have had my 2013 subaru impreza for about a year when i started enduring multiple visits to the dealer for low oil. i am being told by the service manager that my oil issue is normal. i have never owned a brand new vehicle that had to be take to the dealer as much as my subaru. i am having my oil changes done every 3-4 months and having to take it in 1-2 times in between to have oil added. every time i show up for the oil consumption test i am about 1-1/2 qts low on oil. i purchased a subaru because they talked about how efficient and reliable they are. now, i was told that i just need to carry oil in my car at all times. i could understand if this was a used car off of a lot, this was not. this has been the biggest pain of a car and i will be trading it in and never buying another subaru. *tr
