Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The screen freaks out. It freezes, jacks up the volume sometimes and just feels like the screen has a mind of its own. It goes black sometimes but overall just freezing. Its really annoying and frustrating when the volume starts blaring or decides to not let you listen to it at all. It's usually when its in motion. It happens randomly. I have not noticed a pattern as to when the faults happen.”
NHTSA complaint #11340581, filed 2020-07, 12,000 miles“Very similar issues described in previous engine failures reported. New car, off the showroom floor, serviced on frequent. There was a sudden loud clunky noise and complete loss of power. 7 weeks later still at Subaru and dealership not able to identify the issue but not started to say it was driver fault?”
NHTSA complaint #11268703, filed 2019-10, 30,000 miles“There is what looks to be water spots inside the radio screen causing the radio to malfunction. After reading online this is happening to many cars my same year and the website mentioned a recall for this issue. I have less than 60,000 miles on my car.”
NHTSA complaint #11634458, filed 2025-01“The battery in my 2019 Subaru WRX failed after buying it brand new from the dealer, after less than 2 years of owning the vehicle. Almost one year later, my car now won't start if I leave it off for more than 24 hrs. In 2019 I left the car powered off for over a week and it started right up no hesitation. This is a huge problem now as I work remotely and don't need to drive my car every day however I do need my brand new car to reliably START even if I haven't driven it for a day or so! …”
NHTSA complaint #11492032, filed 2022-11“Without warning, my brand new car at 1000 miles was found battery dead in my garage. Towed to dealership, I was told that I got a bad battery . Again, at 7000 miles, car found dead in my garage.”
