2016 Subaru Crosstrek Steering Problems

“There is a grinding noise coming from one of my wheels . I'm pretty sure it's a bad wheel bearing . Noticed the noise after braking very hard to avoid a collision .have had the SUV looked at test driven by an independent mechanic . He believes it is the wheel bearing”

“When trying to turn off the Crosstrek it would not let the key come out of the ignition. It forces you to take it out of park and put it back into drive then back into park a few times to take the key out. I went to Subaru and they said it was a common problem, which they have a fix for. This problem is seen in many of the older model subarus I have seen the same problem in many youtube videos. This is a known problem and has not been addressed by Subaru. Subaru dealer told me the problem is a sticky plate cylinder.”

“While driving at night around curves at about 15-20 MPH the steering wheel kind of locked, and could not go back straight. Had to stop, turn the car off in order to the steering wheel feel normal. It did it a couple of times, also while parking it made like a clicking noise by the front passenger wheel. Had it fix, Subaru replace relief valve, electric oil pump. Even though Subaru is at fault, I had to pay almost $600 to have this fix because my car had a condition that was not covered by their warranty. It isn't fair. I bought this Subaru because of their reliability. …”

“No power steering backing up after starting the car. Warning light came on. Turned engine off and back on still no power steering. Parked waited 15 minutes tried again and the steering worked only felt a little loose.”

“Put car in park, shut the ignition off, and I am unable to remove the key from the ignition. This has occurred on several occasions. Would have to turn the vehicle back on, move the shifter from park to drive position, then put back in park and by doing this I am sometimes able to remove the key.”
