| Subaru Crosstrek in Washington, United States Jan 2017 - May 2022 | |||
| Sep 20179000 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. | ||
| Feb 201815000 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. | ||
| Apr 201819000 mi | Continuing problem with the monitor. | ||
| Jun 201820000 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. | ||
| Jul 201822000 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. | ||

| Subaru Crosstrek in Maryland, United States Jan 2016 - Nov 2018 | |||
| Oct 201731000 mi | While my girlfriend was driving her car, the brake, ABS, and TCS lights all lit. Later that day the lights turned themselves off. I told her to keep an eye on it to see if it would happen again, at which point we'd take full advantage of that fantastic factory warranty! A month or so went by and the lights came on again, so a service trip was planned. The dealer was well aware of this failure, and stated that often when the failure occurs the vehicle gets stuck in "park", since the failure doesn't allow the shift lock to release. Since we'd experienced the failure only when driving, that failure mode didn't present itself. It took about 2 hours to conduct the repair, though I'm sure it could've been done more quickly if the dealership wasn't as busy as it was that day. A brake light switch is a 20-minute replacement if you can yoga yourself into position. I believe there may have been a service bulletin for this repair, but I can't be certain. The failure is quite common though, as per both the dealer and the internet. | ||

| Jun 201728900 mi | Factory defect of valve spring cause catastrophic engine failure. Entire engine had to be replaced. | ||
| Sep 201744014 mi | Car experienced catastrophic engine failure in June 2017 due to factory defect. Entire engine was REPLACED. Head gasket installed during repair was faulty, but went unnoticed. Car overheated at full speed due to head gasket failure. Brought to shop in September 2017 to replace head gasket. Car was burning through coolant at an alarming rate and Check Engine light was on. History: factory default caused catastrophic engine failure at <29,000 miles. Engine was REPLACED June of 2017. Head gasket installed during that repair was damaged but not noticed. Car returned to shop September 2017 after head gasket failed. Head gasket replaced again. Started burning through coolant again, came close to overheating. Brought in with suspicion of warped head. Dealership found no fault with head; could not immediately determine source of problem. Replaced all seals in cooling system; repaired oil control valve. Time will tell if this solved the problem. | ||

| Aug 2016172000 miUS $185 | Complete clutch job. The clutch disc looked great and could have easily gone another 200k. It was the throw out bearing that was beginning to give that telltale raspy whisper. The bearing looked like it had 170k on it. | ||
| Mar 2017285000 miUS $85 | Reverse light switch went out for the second time. Started to get the telltale click, click, click of a worn cv joint on the front right cv axle. Pulled and replaced complete axle. | ||

| Mar 20211057000 mi | I replaced the Crosstrek engine at around 675,000 miles because of a burnt valve and increasing oil usage. Earlier this year, after 3 transmissions, I decided to swap the 5 speed manual with a 6 speed manual from a 2018 Crosstrek. The only issue I had with the original 5 speed is that I spend 85% of my time in 5th and it just kept wearing out 5th gear [ed: after about 300,000 miles] because of a design issue. The 6 speed is a much better fit for that car. | ||
