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 ...
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 ...
