Example complaints

“I recently switched tires from winter to summer tires. I brought in my Subaru into the fremont Subaru service center for service. I wanted to check all the nuts holding the tire on were properly torqued. I trusted them to do a good job, a couple days later while pulling out of my driveway I was rolling down the road when I heard a thumping noise. One of the nuts was missing from the tire and all the nuts on the front tire were extremely loose. This is dangerous and I am glad my tire did not fall off at high speed.”
NHTSA complaint #11325667, filed 2020-05, 63,000 miles“My 2013 Subaru Xv Crosstrek was purchased brand new in september 2013. Within 65k miles I had to replace the cv joint on both front wheels (issue was indicated by a clicking sound from the wheel when turning right or left). Again, at around 120k miles I had to replace them both, and now, a third time at 182k miles. After doing much research this is a common issue on the Xv Crosstrek that is not related to driving conditions, road conditions, or due to physical damage to the part or vehicle. …”
