Check engine light, oil temp, abs light, cruise control light, traction control light and abs light turned on at 90,000 miles. had vehicle serviced by 2 different mechanics and transmission codes still appear.
After taking my vehicle into dealership for valve spring recall, service rep also suggested oil change at same time. i agreed. as soon as i drove it off the dealership lot, check oil light came on. i immediately returned car to have it checked but dealership said oil was full, probably faulty sensor and sent me away without fully checking the car. check oil light would intermittently light up when driving locally. then engine tapping sound and check engine light started a few weeks later while driving locally but indicator lights would turn off for short periods immediately after starting car, or while driving up or down steep inclines. local mechanic confirmed that oil pressure was low and recommended taking it back to dealership. another dealership is now disassembling the engine and recommending a new engine as oil pressure is low and not circulating properly after valve spring recall repair.
My car is currently using a large amount of oil. i've had to put in about 1.5 quarts of oil about 2 times between oil changes. the horn has also stopped working in some positions (thinking this is likely the clockspring). my car currently has about 106k miles on it.
My subaru dealer completed 2 recall items on 7/24/2019 - 8/1/2019 on my 2013 subaru crosstrek.the engine valve springs and break light switch. after work was completed, on 8/1/2019 i had my bumper replaced from a rear-end accident i experienced on 7/16 (possible break light switch malfunction-- it was the third time i have been rear-ended in this car since purchase). 8/7/2019 i picked up my car from the autobody shop and drove 2 mi. home and parked with no issue. 8/8/2019 i drove 35 mi. one way to work without incident... **returning home, i drove roughly 25-miles at highway speeds of 45-70mph, and 5-miles in light, stop-and-go traffic. 30-miles into my trip at around 5-15mph my car began to shake and vibrate, i continued to drive, traveling slowly, trying to discern if the shaking was coming from my car or from one of my tires. all of a sudden all of my error lights illuminated on my dashboard and my engine lost power and stalled out in the middle of the highway (the lights and stereo were still on). with no other options, i turned off the ignition and was able to restart the engine so i could pull off to the side of the highway. upon driving, my car continued to shudder and very little power to accelerate. it stalled again with 30 sec. of driving. i was alone and scared and didn't want to sit on the highway, so i restarted my engine and drove the shoulder to try to reach the dealership (.5 mi. away) my car continued to shake, have no power and stalled another three times as drove to reach it. the dealership did a diagnostic blamed the "engine stall-out" i experienced on my bumper replacement, and gave me an estimate of $889.00 to fix, which is [xxx]! this engine stall from the recall repair put me in extreme danger, i was alone and terrified when it happened on the highway, and now i am being ripped off by the company in charge of fixing it. its not right. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Took my vehicle in for a recall service for the engine valve spring. after the service was completed and with a little over a hundred miles driven since the service, my engine stopped while at a red. after restarting the car, my engine light has come on.
The engine burns oil too fast. every 800 to 1000 miles the car requires 1or 2 quarts of oil
Subaru sent out a recall for my vehicle recall # wty-84 in the letter they state that the engine may stall while driving and causing an increased risk of a crash. when i called the local dealership they told me the first appointment they have to resolve this was on feb 12, 2020. finding this completely unsatisfactory for a company to expect its customers to drive a car they are telling us is a death trap. i called mail office subaru to ask what the situation was. they claimed that another dealer in my area was able to schedule for this march/april they also stated that i would be able to rent a vehicle free of charge until my car was repaired if i was not feeling good about driving it. i called the dealership and they told me that was not the case - they have 100 people on their waiting list and no parts are even available let from subaru to start fixing any cars - and they do not have a program to give any one rental cars while we wait. even if i now wanted to trade my car i could not as no other company is to buy a car from me that has a recall on it that cannot be fixed for a year and is a death trap.
I have contacted all of the local dealers to schedule a recall repair on my engine valve springs. they all put me on a waiting list. this occurred 2 months ago and i still have not heard from any of the dealers. i believe the dealerships have not acted properly to remedy the issue in a timely manner, which is a real safety concern for me as i drive the vehicle daily.

The oil level warning light was iluminated. i stopped and added oil. this is a constant problem which is causing me to add a quart of oil once per week. the dealer has a fix but only for vehicles under warranty and since my vehicle is out of warranty, i'll have to pay out of pocket. from online searches, this is an issue affecting many cars. the cost, for me, will be in the thousands of dollars.
Engine oil leak causing excessive oil consumption and low oil levels between reasonable recommended oil change mileage (burning 3 quarts in 1200 miles). low oil light does not always illuminate, causing safety hazard of blowing motor due to unreasonably fast oil consumption and owner not being aware of problem. car has 42000 miles on it and this was a known problem that dealership/subaru are neglecting to properly fix.
My 2013 subaru xv crosstrek is burning oil. at the time that the oil light came on, the car had 43,675 miles on it. i just read where someone else is having this same issue. i purchased this vehicle brand new 2 years ago and feel that a new car should not be burning oil.
The vehicle has a continuously variable transmission. when approaching a stop light or stop sign i remove my foot from the gas pedal and then the vehicle starts to slow down. when the engine rpm's reach around 1400 rpm the vehicle quits slowing down and continues forward at what ever speed it is at. the car may not be accelerating but it feels like it is because it quits slowing down. if i touch the brake a bit the engine again slows down until it reaches the idle rpm of about 750. on several occasions i have had to quickly hit the brakes to avoid hitting the vehicle in from of me. i purchased the vehicle in minnesota and noticed the problem within the first week but didn't pursue it until i got to texas as this is where the vehicle will be kept. the texas subaru service found no diagnostic codes and drove the vehicle with me and noticed what i did. the texas subaru service manager had me drive a 2014 and it does the same thing but seems to start slowing down again once it has done the acceleration at 1400 rpm for a second or two. they opened a tech line case file but say there is nothing else they can do. i feel this is a safety issue that will cause an accident, maybe not for me as i now keep my foot on the brake whenever slowing down, but certainly for others. *tr
My 2013 subaru crosstrek xv has been burning oil since new. the dealer, and subaru, have done nothing to help fix the issue. currently its burning a quart of oil every 2000-3500 miles. this can't be right but subaru tell me that it is ok for the car to "consume" a quart of oil every 1200 miles. *tr
