This Problem Across All Years
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 SUBARU CROSSTREK. WHILE DRIVING 80-85 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WITHOUT WARNING. IN ADDITION, THE TACHOMETER INCREASED TO HIGH AND THE SPEEDOMETER DECREASED. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED, IT PERFORMED AS DESIGNED.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE GOING 75 MPH, PASSING ANOTHER VEHICLE, WHEN THE CAR RAPIDLY LOST SPEED AND REVVED TO 5500 RPM. THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO LOSE SPEED AND WOULD NOT RESPOND WHEN I PRESSED DOWN ON THE ACCELERATOR. I HAD TO QUICKLY PULL TO THE LEFT SHOULDER. LUCKILY, THE CAR BEHIND ME WAS PAYING ATTENTION AND WAS ABLE TO SLOW DOWN AND NOT HIT US. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND LUCKILY THE VEHICLE DID RESTART. MY FUEL LIGHT HAD JUST TURNED ON MINUTES BEFORE THIS BUT I STILL HAD 60 MILES TO GO BEFORE EMPTY. I WAS PLANNING ON EXITING TO REFUEL BEFORE THIS HAPPENED. I STILL DO NOT KNOW WHAT CAUSED THIS TO OCCUR. I LEFT A MESSAGE WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND I AM AWAITING A RETURN PHONE CALL TO HAVE THE VEHICLE ASSESSED.

MY CAR HAS BEEN LEAKING FOR A LONG WHILE NOW. I DIDN'T EXPECT IT TO HAPPEN BUT WHEN RECENTLY I SAW SMALL DROPS OF OIL, I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID MY CAM BOX SEAL WAS LEAKING AND THEN I WENT INTO MORE RESEARCH. I FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS ACTUALLY A COMMON ISSUE FROM MY FELLOW CROSSTREK OWNERS. THIS ISNT ACCEPTABLE AT ALL BECAUSE THIS DOESNT MAKE THESE RELIABLE ANYMORE. IT'S NOW A HEADACHE AND TROUBLE ON THE ROAD. THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE THOUGHT OVER IN RESPECT TO US THE CONSUMERS. THE CROSSTREK ARE A VERY POPULAR CAR THAT PEOPLE LOVE INCLUDING ME BUT THIS PROBLEM GIVES EVERYONE OF US TO COMPLAIN TO HAVE IT FIXED.

CAR STALLED AND DIED WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAY TRAVELING 75MPH. FELT LIKE THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTED INTO A LOW GEAR AND THE RPM'S REVVED. CAR IMMEDIATELY LOST POWER AND FORTUNATELY I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY MOVE TO FREEWAY SHOULDER. CAR WOULD NOT START AND HAD TO BE TOWED BUT ALL ELECTRICAL STILL FUNCTIONED. I WAS LOW ON GAS BUT NOT OUT. I WAS ON FREEWAY AT 11:30PM JUST OUTSIDE DETROIT WHEN THIS OCCURRED. RIDICULOUSLY UNSAFE. VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT DEALER AND WILL BE LOOKED AT 8/14/2018. INCIDENT 8/9/2018. EXACT SAME SYMPTOMS HAPPENED TO THE SAME VEHICLE 6 MONTHS AGO. CAR DIED ON FREEWAY TRAVELING 75MPH, RPM'S REVVED, GOT SAFELY TO SHOULDER. VEHICLE TOWED. CAR STARTED NEXT MORNING AND NO ERROR CODES FOUND. EVEN MORE COMPELLING, THE ENGINE DIED 3 OTHER TIMES WHILE DRIVING AT LEAST 45MPH, SAME SENSATION OF ENGINE GOING INTO LOWER GEAR, RPM'S INCREASED TO 5000+, CAR DIES, ELECTRICAL WORKS. CAR WAS ABLE TO RESTART AFTER 10-15 MINUTES OF REST. THESE 3 INCIDENTS ARE NOT DOCUMENTED BECAUSE I WAS NOT TOWED AND DID NOT TAKE THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE. I WISH I HAD. I AM REPORTING FOR THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT OF 8/9/2018. (I FEEL LIKE I'M SHOUTING WITH ALL CAPS. I AM SHOUTING BECAUSE THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED!)
MY CAR BECAME STUCK IN PARK DUE TO A DEFECTIVE BREAK LIGHT SWITCH. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME TO HAVE IT TOWED, BUT LUCKILY I CHECKED THE INTERNET AND LEARNED I HAD TO OVERRIDE THE SYSTEM BY STICKING A BOLT INTO A PORT ON THE GEAR SHIFT PANEL. APPARENTLY THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE. I KNOW SEVERAL PEOPLE PERSONALLY WHO HAVE ALSO HAD THIS PROBLEM, AND THE DEALERSHIP WAS FAMILIAR WITH IT. IT IS INCREDIBLY FRUSTRATING TO BE STUCK IN A PARKING LOT UNABLE TO DRIVE YOUR CAR WHEN ITS AN ISSUE THAT COULD EASILY BE PREVENTED. IT WAS A 100+ DEGREE DAY AND LUCKILY I WAS IN TOWN. BUT HAD I BEEN STUCK OUT AT A TRAILHEAD OR OTHERWISE OUT OF CELL SERVICE THIS COULD BE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE.

I HAVE RANDOM BUT CONSISTENT PROBLEMS WITH MY 2015 SUBARU CROSSTREK IN REGARDS TO THE CVT, STALLING AND ACCELERATION ISSUES. I HAVE COMPLAINED TO THE DEALERSHIP ON MANY OCCASIONS. WHEN COMING TO A STOP AND THEN ACCELERATING AGAIN IT FEELS AS IF THE CAR IS ABOUT TO STALL AND IN SOME SITUATIONS I FELT IT DID FOR A SECOND. ITS A VERY FRIGHTENING SITUATION WHEN MERGING INTO TRAFFIC OR DRIVING DEFENSIVELY AND THE CAR JUST DOESN'T RESPOND. I HAVE COME VERY CLOSE TO BEING HIT BECAUSE THE CAR DID NOT RESPOND. ANOTHER WAY TO EXPLAIN IT IS THIS: WHEN STARTING FROM A COMPLETE STOP, ITS LIKE THE CAR SHIFTS FROM 1ST TO 4TH IN A SPLIT SECOND AND THE CAR FAILS TO ACCELERATE AND IT TAKES ABOUT 5 SECONDS FOR THE CAR TO RESPOND AND SLOWLY PICK UP SPEED LIKE IT WAS ACCELERATING STARTING IN THE WRONG GEAR (4TH). I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS FOR OVER 2 YEARS NOW AND I'D LIKE TO GET THIS FIXED ASAP. PLEASE ISSUE A RECALL FOR THESE CVTS AND HAVE THE MANUFACTURER FIX THEM. JUST EXTENDING THE WARRANTY TO 100K DOES NO GOOD BECAUSE I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP LAST WEEK AND TIMES BEFORE AND THEY DIDN'T FIX ANYTHING, THEY JUST COLLECTED DATA AND SENT IT TO SUBARU BUT I STILL HAVE THE ISSUE. I ALSO NOTICED THE PROBLEM MORE PROMINENT WHEN THE WEATHER IS WARMER WHICH LEADS ME TO ALSO SUSPECT AN AIR/FUEL ISSUE OR SOMETHING ELSE ADDING TO THE PROBLEM.
