2019 SUBARU CROSSTREK Complaints

I WOKE UP ONE MORNING AND FOUND MY WINDSHIELD CRACKED. IT'S LITERALLY ABOVE THE DEFROSTER FOR THE GLASS WHEN ITS WINTER. IT SPREAD FOR NO REASON NOTHING WAS THROWN AND I WAS NOT IN ANY ACCIDENT FOR THAT TO CRACK ON IT'S OWN BECAUSE IT WAS COLD. I LIVE IN QUEENS, NY AND WE HAVENT HAD ANY COLD COLD WINTERS YET FOR THAT TO HAVE HAPPENED ON IT OWN. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED WHEN I DISCOVERED THE CRACK. I CANT USE THE DEFOGGER BECAUSE IT WILL MAKE THE WINDSHIELD CRACK EVEN MORE!

HI. I PURCHASE MY 2019 SUBARU CROSSTREK IN OCTOBER OF 18 BECAUSE I DECIDED TO SUCK IT UP AND HAVE A PAYMENT TO ENSURE I HAD A SAFE VEHICLE FOR MYSELF AND FOR MY SON. SINCE WE ALWAYS PURCHASE SUBARUS THROUGH MY WORK, I WENT THAT ROUTE BECAUSE I'VE BEEN VERY PLEASED WITH THEM ESPECIALLY WITH SAFETY. IN MAY OF 2000 19, I WAS DRIVING TO HARRISBURG FOR WORK AND I HAD MY SON WITH ME AND A WHOLE EGG THAT WAS PRESENTING AT THE CONFERENCE WE WERE HEADED TO. ON THE WAY THERE, ON 22 EAST WHERE THERE WAS A LOT OF CONSTRUCTION BUT A HIGHWAY, I WENT TO GO AROUND A TRUCK WHERE I ACCELERATED AND WENT TO GO INTO THE SLOWER LANE ONCE I PASSED HIM BUT ALL THE SUDDEN, I LOST COMPLETE POWER AND MY CAR SHUT OFF!!! I HURRIED UP AND GOT IT BACK ON AND SOMEHOW THE TRUCK THAT I JUST PASSED WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER BUT IT WAS SUPER SCARY. SADLY, THIS HAPPENED TWO MORE TIMES ON THE STRIP WHERE MY CAR JUST SHUT OFF SO I JUST STAYED IN THE SLOW LANE AND PRAYED WHILE I WAS IN ONE LANE BECAUSE I CALLED SUBARU AND THEY TOLD ME THAT.. I'M JUST RECALLING ALL THIS NOW BECAUSE I GOT THE RECALL IN THE MAIL. I HAD CALLED SUBARU THE WEEK BEFORE I WENT ON THIS TRIP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY THOUGHT IT WAS A FEW IGNITION THING. AND THAT I SHOULD GET GAS AND SEE IF ALL THE LIGHTS TURNED OFF BECAUSE ALL THE LIGHTS AND TURN ON AFTER THE FIRST TIME IT IS SHUT OFF. LONG STORY SHORT, THEY KEPT IT FOR ABOUT A THOUSAND MILES TO TEST IT OUT BECAUSE I WAS ADAMANT THAT I DIDN'T WANT IT BACK UNTIL IT WAS SAFE SO THEY REPLACE THE TIRE SENSOR WHICH I HAD KNOWN FOR MY LAST VEHICLE WOULD NOT CAUSE THE CAR TO SHUT OFF BUT THEY ASSURED ME THIS WOULD SOLVE THE PROBLEM. I HAVEN'T HAD ANY PROBLEMS SINCE EXCEPT FOR THE CONTINUED ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS THAT I HAVE INSIDE THE CAR AND WHERE THE CAR RUNS AT NIGHT EVEN AFTER ITS SHUT OFF.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 SUBARU CROSSTREK. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW DETACHED WITHOUT WARNING OR AN IMPACT OCCURRING. THE CONTACT CALLED STATELINE SUBARU AT 508-676-3071 (LOCATED AT 1451 BRAYTON POINT RD, SOMERSET, MA 02725) AND WAS INFORMED TO CALL THE INSURANCE COMPANY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE BY PHONE AND EMAIL, BUT NO ONE CALLED BACK. THE CONTACT CALLED AGAIN AND WAS INFORMED THAT THEY COULD NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 8,000. *LN

CAME OUTSIDE 11/28/19 TO THE CAR PARKED IN DRIVEWAY AND WINDSHIELD WAS CRACKED FROM THE BASE OF IT UP 4 INCHES, AND 90 DEGREE ANGLE TURN INTO ANOTHER 12 INCH CRACK.

APPROXIMATELY 4 MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE I DROVE TO WORK AND DIDN'T HEAR OR SEE ANYTHING ABNORMAL WHEN I PARKED MY CAR IN THE PARKING LOT. ONCE I WAS LEAVING WORK MY WINDSHIELD HAD A SMALL CRACK IN THE LOWER MIDDLE. I WAS TOLD IT WOULD COST 1200 DOLLARS AND MY EXTRA COVERAGE PLAN DOES NOT INCLUDE WINDSHIELDS. WHEN I WASHED MY CAR, THE CRACK EXPANDED UP THE ENTIRE MIDDLE OF THE WINDSHIELD. NO FORCE OR EXTREME TEMPERATURES WERE EXPERIENCED THAT COULD EXPLAIN TO ME THE UNUSUAL CRACKING.

THE WINDSHIELD HAD A SMALL CHIP IN IT (NOT SURE FROM WHAT). OVER THE COURSE OF TWO DAYS THE CHIP HAD SPREAD TO COVER HALF THE WINDSHIELD. I BELIEVE THE CHIP HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING.

WHEN LANE DEPARTURE SYSTEM IS ACTIVATED,STEERING GETS LOOSE.WHEELS MAY NOT RESPOND TO STEERING WHEEL FOR 1 SECOND.SUBARU SAYS THIS IS NORMAL.I STOPPED USING THE SYSTEM AFTER DRIFTING OFF A 2 LANE COUNTRY ROAD AT 50 M.P.H. I HAVE THIS SYSTEM IN MY TOYOTA,IT DOES NOT NEGATIVELY EFFECT STEERING WHEEL CONTROL.

THE CAR PARKED WAS FOUND WITH A DEFECTIVE WINDSHIELD (HORIZONTAL CRACK WITHOUT APPARENT REASON). THE DEFECTIVE WINDSHIELD SEEMED TO OCCUR SPONTANEOUSLY BECAUSE MY REQUESTED POLICE INVESTIGATION DID NOT FIND ANY EVIDENCE ON THE CAUSE OF HARM.

THE COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM IS DANGEROUS. TWICE IT HAS STOPPED THE CAR FOR NO REASON. I WAS NOT CLOSE TO ANOTHER VEHICLE AND I WAS NOT SPEEDING. THE SYSTEM APPLIED THE BRAKES WHICH CAUSE BOTH MY PASSENGER AND ME TO BE FORCED FORWARD AGAINST THE SEAT BELTS.THE CAR ACTUALLY SKIDDED. WHAT IS WORSE IS THAT THE CAR BEHIND ME HAD NO WARNING THAT I WAS GOING TO BE STOPPED AND ALMOST COULD NOT AVOID A REAR END COLLISION. THIS SYSTEM IS DANGEROUS. I HAVE SHUT IT OFF BUT IT ALWAYS COMES BACK ON WHEN THE CAR IS RESTARTED.

THIS CAR WAS LEASED ON JUNE 3, 2009. ALMOST IMMEDIATELY I NOTICED THAT AT SLOW SPEED IN A PARKING LOT OR AT AN INTERSECTION, THE CAR BOGS DOWN AND SHAKES AND BUCKS. SOMETHING LIKE AN INEXPERIENCED DRIVER TRYING TO DRIVE A STICK SHIFT AND NOT KNOWING HOW TO SHIFT SMOOTHLY. THE BUCKING IS VERY NOTICEABLE TO EVERYONE IN THE CAR. EVEN PASSENGERS ASK WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. THIS ISSUE IS CONSTANT AND DANGEROUS WHEN TRYING TO GET OUT OF THE WAY OF ANOTHER DRIVER.
