Subaru XV Crosstrek

"Would stop working at random"

"CD player would no longer eject the CD"

"Display Freezes"

"Multiple occurrences where display screen and audio freezes and is inoperable for several minutes. Dealer has checked it multiple times and can’t fix it."

"I bought Subaru's high end navigation system (added over $1000 to the vehicle cost). The gps navigation system never worked properly and often gave incorrect directions or couldn't even find the destination in its database. Then, the included CD player stopped working - the CD eject motor remained permanently engaged and so new CD's could not load. Now I can no longer connect my iphone through the USB port to play music, podcasts, audible books, etc. through the car's sound system. Finally, I cannot connect any new phones to the Bluetooth feature. Subaru's electronics are primitive, buggy work poorly and break down quickly. I refuse to go back to Subaru and pay thousands more dollars to have them fix everything that is wrong with their "premier" navigation product (ha ha)."

"It is so difficult to use that I gave up and never use it"

"Destination is not recognized in north and south carolina"

"GPS frequently loses position fix, does not require, sometimes for several days"

"had to be replaced by Subaru. Defective. Sent me to the wrong places"

"System would not navigate. Re-boot failed to solve problem"

"The Nav system is completely unUSble. Both my wife and I spent hours trying to learn it. We use other navigation systems with no problem. It is effectively useless"

"The vehicle was missing the GPS SD card and we had to wait over a month for one to be provided by Subaru"

"It is too complicated to use. When I tried to use it, I couldn't. So now I don't ever use it. I use an app on my iPhone."

"car stopped communication with my apple SE cellphone"

"Will not pair with I phone"

"In general listening to music via bluetooth is hit or miss. Connection is inconsistent , freezes, and music is played out of order and uncontrollable"

"The phone pairing is more complicated than it needs to be; too many steps! Voice recognition software is substandard; entering a phone number via voice is frustrating and cumbersome"

"The Bluetooth no longer paired with my iPhone or my wife's iPhone."

"Phone pairing: sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t. No rhyme or reason as to when this happens."

"Bluetooth works for going thru car but call id does not display. Contacts will not transfer."

"The radio/CD unit will on its own increase volume until it's unbearably loud. Cannot turn down volume (or turn unit off) until the ignition is turned off and the car restarted. Not "replicable" so dealership will not fix/replace"

"Occasionally does not turn on so not able to use"

"Radio has recently occasionally stopped responding to channel / AM-FM change input."

"After listening for some time (which varies quite a bit) the radio will begin to squelch at maximum volume. Which will scare the crap out of you if not prepared. Currently when the radio drops out we will immediately turn it off for the rest of the trip. Again this problems occurs probably 5 or six times a year starting two years ago."

"The voice command menus are convoluted; entering commands for phone numbers via voice is far more complicated that it needs to be; too often phone numbers get entered incorrectly, and need to be completely reentered when this happens"

"None of the voice commands work, even with multiple attempts from multiple people. We have never once had a single command work. The voice command system on the Infinity works fine. So do voice commands, in the car, on both iPhone and Android"

"There is an overall problem with the audio system. I have had this checked several times but they say they can't reproduce the problem. This includes screen freezing during trying to dial a call (bluetooth), radio tuning off and on spontaneously, intermittent static and random noise from the audio system, and radio playing simultaneously during a phone call (bluetooth)."

"Unable to use increase or decrease speed switch on cruise control"

"Cruise control would stop working intermittently"

"Tail light repeatedly burned out. When it did, various warning lights lit up, particularly the vehicle stability light. Found some info on the internet and replaced a switch."

"both rear brakelights stopped working. No warning light on dashboard to indicate brakelights were not working. A passing motorist informed me of the problem."

"Electric module in tail light system shorted out and killed the battery?. Repaired under warranty"

"Problems with wiring on Passengers side Tailight"

"The third brake light leaked and had to be replaced."

"Brake light going out before their time. I understand there was a recall for this matter."

"The exterior temperature indicator occasionally freezes up."

"we have gone through 4 lights (2 each side) in the last 6 months"

"unusual to burn out so soon"

"The remote start will sometimes just start up by itself without me initiating the start. It was scary because it happened twice while parked in the garage!"

"Faulty gauge"

"USB port won't charge iphone or android. Dealer attempted and failed repair after multiple attempts by changing USB port and Radio. Item is still not fixed, but I got tired of going back and forth from the dealer to have the issue re-investigated; I gave up. Many people on Reddit report having the same issue with no resolve"

"The bulbs blew and needed to be replaced"

"Warning lights would come on periodically, indicating that the car's computer had gone into "limp mode". This happened 4-5 times, and it took the dealership 4 attempts to finally fix the problem (which turned out to be some sort of problem with the computer software, which they resolved via an upgrade of the software)"

"check engine light and cruise indicator repeatedly came on, car needed a replacement computer"

"they just popped up, had them worked prior to recalls"

"The rear wiper occasionally runs steady when it is set to intermittent."

"Took it to the dealer. They said there was nothing that they could do"

"The trunk hatch, which I use every day, go stuck in the closed position. I took it immediately to the dealer to fix. They had no idea what caused the problem, but realigned the hatch catch. Since then, whenever there is a big rain storm, the trunk leaks and gets my therapeutic equipment wet."

"fitting of dash peices are not precise and cause a buzz at certain speeds"

"annoying buzz coming from trim around radio"

"rear lift gate squeaks and dealership can't fix it"

"Rattle in dash area. Tried padding the area. Never totally resolved. Not always there; must depend on how door is closed, or if the right bump is hit, to make it start or stop"

"Rattle underside that was apparently suspension related"

"Rattle/noise from side vent. Tried using foam around vent and other parts of dash. Did not help"

"Driving on road. Stop at a red light and a fluttering sound comes from the rear of the car while stopped. Lasts about 4 seconds.. Dealer has not been able to diagnose even though they've tried twice"

"We have a rattle that is distinct when driving between 25-40 mph. We have taken it to the dealer ship twice and they have not been able to locate it as of yet"

"There is a rattle in the dash"

"Various rattles from the left hand side of the dash. No obvious cause"

"Annoying squeak coming from tailgate or rear suspension, not determined. Comes and goes and mainly when going over uneven pavement in reverse or at low speed"

"Makes an occasional clunking noise during braking. Cannot be replicated during appointments so cannot be repaired. Also using this space to say that for hybrid vehicles, batteries should be included in the repair list. The Crosstrek hybrid has 3 and 2 of the 3 failed in my car last year."

"A rattle has developed behind the speedometer"

"rattles at driver side near front speaker/vent."

"the bluetooth phone nannot be heard"

"definite wind noise at speed, dealer claims it is normal vent noise and did nothing about it"

"Generally at higher speeds"
