2017 Subaru Crosstrek 4dr Hatch

148-horsepower 2.0L H4 6-speed shiftable CVT AWD

9000 mi The monitor which displays things like AM/FM radio stations, USB, XM Radio, Bluetooth, etc. sometimes does not respond to touch. The dealer informed me that there is not a recall on the radio. They are sure the problem is in the software program. The only thing they can do is replace the radio, but since the replacement will have the same programming the problem will most likely persist. They recommended I call Subaru of America to explain the problem that way they can make note of it and inform me if anything else can be done. 
15000 mi Monitor does not respond to touch sometimes. Service department at the dealership did a software update. However, it did not fix the problem. Will be returning for more diagnostics. 
19000 mi Continuing problem with the monitor. 
20000 mi After initially starting my car the monitor sometimes will not respond to touch. The dealership is checking for new software updates and they are supposed to be replacing the monitor. The problem has been there since buying the car new. They have installed software updates previously which have helped. Another possible help has been keeping the USB drive un-pluged which holds the pod casts I listen to (their idea). Update 7/3/2018 There were no new software updates to install. Dealership will be installing a new monitor/infotainement system when it arrives. 
22000 mi Problem: Infotainment system monitor sometimes will not respond to touch. This trip was to have a replacement monitor installed. Install was done at the dealership for free. Need to wait and see if the new monitor works consistently or not.
