Subaru Crosstrek Change Vehicle

"Most of the time, it works perfectly. But sometimes, it can take up to 30 seconds after the car is put in reverse for the camera to come on. It didn't start doing this until about six months ago. (At other times, it takes the camera up to 10 seconds to turn off after the car is put in drive, but that is an extremely minor annoyance.)"

"The gps/screen froze up intermittently and does still every once in awhile. It is now out of warranty."

"1. Can't change SiriusXM stations This car has very low mileage, so I'm not confident that the problems I have with the Outback won't happen here. Restarting the car solves the problem"

"My display screen just freezes. Sometimes if I turn off the car it resolves for a day or so."

"The unit sometimes will not pair with my phone or I have to re-enter information to make it do so."

"The USB port is on bottom of center storage console and has resulted in many issues of plugging in phone"

"Inconsistent connectivity with iPad! Sometimes worked, other times not."

"The car would not start due to a defective park-lock switch, which was subject of a recall."

"enitre climate control center column had to be replaced under warranty as it failed."

"The GPS froze intermittently and once during a trip. I had to use a smartphone for back up. It came back on an hour later."

"I don't like the nav system,...difficult to use, not intuitive, poor graphics, settings need to be rechecked each time I use it. I had a Toyota nav system in 2006 Prius that was so much better than this one in every way.(so my complaint is not due to lack of experience)"

"I HATE the Nav system. It is my only complaint in 3+ yrs. it's not user friendly and the screen might as well be blank most of the time because the graphics are all pale/dull colors , with no contrast and I have to take off my glasses and peer closely at the screen. Toyota did a much better job in my 2006 Prius. I had a Toyota Prius with Nav system for 10 yrs with no problems, I could see screen clearly and I regret not buying Rav4 instead of Crosstrek for this reason only."

"Phone loses sync with car, has to be reset."

"The system un-pairs from time to time and also looses all the radio station presets. A second new audio unit is on order right now as the dealer can't seem to fix all issues with this unit."

"Pairing does not always carry over when the car is turned off. May be a Blackberry Q10 issue."

"Difficult to pair with fairly current Android phone; constantly disconnecting and reconnecting, especially during calls; very outdated infotainment system"

"Bluetooth repeatedly disconnects and needs to be reset. Have ttried it with several phones - so its not the phones. instructions in the manual are confusing and poor and i have gotten tired of resetting it and jhave stopped using it. Dealership folks happily reset it in three minutes, but it does not stay funtioning for very long"

"radio dosent hold stations --fades in and out ..spend a little more and get a good radio.."

"Occasionally the controls don't work although the radio still plays."

"SiriusXM was working great for several months, then one day 2 months ago I get in the car and it said to call SiriusXM to activate my subscription. I did, several times, and then SXM said it's not an issue on their end and to take it to Subaru. Dealer tried to reflash the software and do something else, but it did not work. They replaced the entire headunit after a week"

"The way the system is built, you actually have to take your eyes off the road to look at a list of phone numbers to choose from. It is a big safety concern"

"car often didn't recognize my contacts - last year primarily. Often had to pick up my phone. I understand they may have improved this with the new models."

"rear brake pads had about 10,000 miles left. I changed them myself."

"Brake pads required replacement due to wear."

"Premature front brake wear"

"We had to replace all rotors and brake pads at 39,000 miles."

"Replacing brake pads every 35000 to 40000 km"

"Our 2016 Crosstrek and our daughter's 2015 Crosstrek both exhibit high rates of brake wear (eg rotors requiring replacement after 50000 km). Excessive pad wear also."

"At 34000 miles one rear brake pad wore out while other still good. Dealer replaced brake pad under warranty"

"The problem started less than one year after purchase. When I pressed hard on brake pedal the car would shimmy. Dealership made adjustment and it wasn't a problem again until about 2 months ago."

"had to replace calipers at about 36000 km"

"One of the rear brake pads 'shattered' (in the words of the mechanic)."

"Brake pads required replacing at 15000 miles. Was done under warranty. Brakes are not used excessively and should not have worn out at this time."

"Four years old, driven an average of 4000 miles a year shouldn't need front rotors and brakes replaced completely!"

"Had vehicle in for check on why my MPG was on average below what combined is listed for my car, and it rolled over several times before starting. It is the only car in the last 8 that I've owned that hasn't got at least 2 mpg more then the EPA combined rates for it. I always fill up, and log every drop of fuel in my cars on fuel economy.gov, so I have the records and know what I'm talking about. I normally do my own maintenance but because I wanted to put in new plugs, I decided to take it to the dealership so they could do that and a computer check.. Even though I only had just over 50,000 miles they recommended that I do the 60,000 mile service, and this cost me over $700.00. That entailed new plugs, OLF, air and cabin filters, brake fluid flush, differential oil change, and several other checks which included the brakes. I was told I needed both front and rear brakes and rotors because they were worn and rusted. That was going to cost me $1100.00 for standard factory brakes. I declined, went home and ordered much better quality high performance Power Stop Z23 Evolution Sport Brake Upgrade Kits, brakes and rotors for both front and rear for around $350, and installed them myself. My rotors could have been turned,(the rust was on the edge) and the pads were not that close to their wear indicators especially the rear. At the moment I don't know if my mileage has improved, but starting has not, and as far as I could tell they didn't even do the computer test. I think they just wanted to get my money while I was there."

"The original brakes lasted more then 70K the new ones lasted less then 30K which created pulsation and vibration the maintenance was done by a dealership no after market parts."

"The brake calipers or brake pads have become warped so when I put the brake on they stop the car but they are very bumpy and vibrate badly. I had my brake pads replaced in 2018 so it may be faulty installation. I have an appointment for next week with my repair guy, not the dealer."

"They needed to be replaced at 39,000 miles."

"No garage, infrequent use during bad weather, visiting daughters riding the brake when borrowing vehicle = worn rotors/brakes."

"I live in a partly gravel road. Small rocks tend to get stuck between rotor (disc) and metal protector. It scratches the rotor. I need to back up or take the wheel off and clean or unstuck the rock."

"The back window was leaking in rain. Deep puddle of water gathering under the spare tire. The body shop fixed the seal around the hatch back window and it fixed the problem"

"The outlet of the air-conditioning drain got plugged and water was dripping under the glove compartment"

"Excessive amount of road noise from tires - cabin should have better soundproofing."

"There is a rattling on the driver side fash. Sounds like the dashboard plastic and plastic covering in the gauge area."

"Intermittent rattle in driver's side dash where speaker is located. When rattling, I can place small cloth over the area to stop rattle."

"Rattles. Inconsistent noise - sometimes in the passenger side door, sometimes the dashboard. Also, when driving at highway speeds (around 65 mph) quite often there is a noise in the right rear that sounds like a strap or something hanging out of the door."

"Rear hatch squeaks sometimes while going around corners or over bumps"

"an interior rattle sound; the dealer has attempted to fix it twice, but it has come back each time"

"Driver's Seat squeaks"

"During winter, there is a rattle between the windshield and the dashboard on the driver side"

"Loud rattle in rear of car"

"Baffles were crushed and were rattling in the car."

"Loud rattle in front suspension. Have been told it is not serious problem and cannot be fixed."

"The car is noisy on the freeway and/or at higher speeds. You can hear the wind over the roof of the car. As well as the noise from the ground if it is not smooth."

"The road noise for this vehicle is excessive. It may be a combination of wind, transmission and tires on the road. I constantly have to raise or lower the radio volume depending on the speed I'm going in order to hear it comfortably"

"Wind and electronics. I often switched to using a headset when using my phone because people could not understand me. The car was loud."

"Noisy when over40 mph"
