“My car has an uneven steering effort. The steering is tighter and more difficult to steer when driving, while turning right. The problem is getting worse in the two years I've owned this car. A service bulletin was released 7/24/18, number: 04-21-18, showing several models of Subaru's have this steering issue. I have attached the bulletin below for your review. The bulletin says, if a crack is confirmed, the eps steering gear box assembly must be replaced. The word must tells me it is an important safety issue. …”
NHTSA complaint #11282879, filed 2019-11, 40,000 miles“I bought my car brand new and about six months after owning it my check engine, hazardous roads and cruise control lights came on. This has continued to happen numerous times since. I have been told it's a sensor, mass airflow sensor. Ocv valves and maintenance light. The problem has never truly been resolved and no one has been able to tell me what the root of the problem is. There have been times when service workers have just cleared the computer and sent me on my way.”
NHTSA complaint #11289189, filed 2019-12“2 differt items not sure if interconnected. Drove out of driveway and 3 blocks away the car was shaking violently and could not go more than 5 miles an hour. Was able to turn around and pull into driveway and the car died and would not start. Subarau dealer said it was the Engine Control Module and replaced it for free. There was a recall done on the 2012 Impreza for same problem and mine is a 2014 with only 35,990 miles. Should be a recall for this model year also. This would have been very dangerous if I was on the freeway and I would hate to have it happen to someone else. …”
