What owners report
ON INTERSTATE I-80 (SPEED LIMIT 75 MPH), I WAS DRIVING THE CAR USING CRUISE CONTROL AND THE CAR SUDDENLY POWERED OFF, WITH MANY DASHBOARD LIGHTS ON (THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, VEHICLE DYNAMICS CONTROL LIGHT, AND HILL START ASSIST LIGHT). I BARELY MANAGED TO PULL THE CAR OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AND TRIED TO RESTART THE CAR SEVERAL TIMES, BUT IT WOULDN'T START (THOUGH THE STARTER ITSELF WAS WORKING). FINALLY, THE CAR WAS TOWED. I WAS REALLY LUCKY THAT THE CARS BEHIND ME MANAGED TO AVOID ME. THIS ISN'T THE FIRST TIME THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED. IN FEBRUARY 2019, THE CAR SUDDENLY STOPPED WITH THREE DASHBOARD LIGHTS ON (CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, VEHICLE DYNAMICS CONTROL LIGHT, HILL START ASSI
THREE TIMES IN THE LAST 45 DAYS CAR HAS BEEN FOR SERVICE. CAR HAS BEEN SHUTTING DOWN WHILE DRIVING. THE DEALER REPLACED THE HYBRID BATTERY. CAR IS STILL EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS. SHUTS DOWN WHILE DRIVING, OR DE ACCELERATES. THE CAR HAS A LOSS OF POWER. WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE (GIVE IT GAS), THE OPPOSITE OCCURS, IT LOSES POWER TO THE POINT OF SHUTTING DOWN. MY CAR IS GOING TO KILL ME OR SOMEONE ELSE. WHILE ENTERING I-95 IN WPB FL ON 1/18/19 AT I EXPERIENCED A LOSS OF POWER AND HAD TO COAST TO THE EMERGENCY LANE. AFTER WAITING 5 MINUTES I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. 10 MILES OR SO LATER THE CAR SHUT DOWN WHILE IN THE MIDDLE LANE DUE TO NO POWER.
THE ISSUE: RIGHT PASSENGER SIDE WIPER DOES NOT CLEAR THE WINDSHIELD PROPERLY AND ICES UP SO BADLY THAT IT AFFECTS THE DRIVER SIDE WIPER AND VISIBILITY TO THE POINT THAT I HAVE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD AND MANUALLY CLEAR THE WINDSHIELD AND WIPERS BY HAND AND WITH A SCRAPPER, HENCE A SAFETY ISSUE. STEPS TAKEN PER SUBARU SERVICE DEPARTMENT. 1.) REPLACE WIPERS, NOT RESOLVED. 2.) REPLACED WIPER ARMS, NOT RESOLVED. 3.) SUBARU SAID IT MAY BE THE WINDSHIELD IS OUT OF SHAPE, FLAT SPOT. I ASKED IF THAT'S WARRANTY SINCE IT CAME ON THE CAR WHEN I PURCHASED IT NEW, NO, I HAD TO PAY FOR IT; NOT RESOLVED. 4.) REPLACED WIPERS 3 MORE TIMES WITH DIFFERENT BRANDS; ISSUE NOT RESOLVED. 5.) CALLED SUBARU CUST
THIS HAPPENED ON 2/26/2014: I WAS DRIVING MY HYBRID CROSSTREK THIS MORNING ON THE INTERSTATE. I HAD BEEN ON THE ROAD ABOUT 20-25 MINUTES. I HEARD A LOUD BANG AND HAD GLASS ALL OVER ME. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD QUICKLY. THANKFULLY MY GRANDSON OR ANOTHER PASSENGER WERE NOT WITH ME AS THEY WOULD HAVE HAD GLASS ALL OVER THEM TOO.
AS I WAS DRIVING IN THE HIGHWAY THE SUNROOF EXPLODED. I WAS DRIVING AT 65MPH AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I HEARD AN EXPLOSION WHEN I STOPPED THE CAR THE SUNROOF WAS BROKEN AS IF SOMEONE HAD PUNCH IT FROM THE INSIDE OUT. GLASSES WHEN EVERYWHERE CAUSING MINOR SCRATCHES IN MYSELF AND PASSANGER. IT WAS 87 F OUTSIDE AND 68F INSIDE THE CAR. NOW DEALER TELLS ME THIS IS COMMON.
