2014 Subaru XV Crosstrek Engine Problems

“I was driving the car when all the lights on dash come on. Constant jerking/bucking of the car without increasing pressure to the gas peddle. Meter rpms indicator needle is erratic moving back and forth while the engine revs. The mpg needle goes from plus to minus erratically also. At this time the car is not dependable. I have brought the car to granite Subaru 4 times for the same complaint. They say they have used the diagnostic meter to determine the problem but it still remains, now even worse. …”

“I have experienced rough idling with my 2014 crosstrek limited for about a year. During this time my check oil light has come on twice. I brought my car into the dealership in fayetteville, ar where they began the oil consumption test process. Thus far the dealership has flushed my coolant and oil and replacing o-rings and valves, replaced more o-rings and my AC compressor, and completed four oil consumption tests each time I drove 1,200 miles and consumed 8oz oil (10.1oz is considered failing). …”

“Driving on the freeway at 135,961 miles, just 5 months after pulling the car off a used lot. All dash lights are illuminated, vehicle encounters loss of acceleration and I pulled to the shoulder. I attempt to restart vehicle, and lights return to normal, and I attempt to make my way home. Lights are illuminated once again, but I do not have loss of acceleration this time. Take it to be serviced, lh front axle failed, needs replaced, engine block has considerable oil leak, valve body replacement required (covered under warranty thank goodness). …”

“Driving on the freeway at 60mph, warm day (75) A/C was on, starting to accelerate up a slight incline, the engine lost power and car started slowing down. The gas pedal/acceleration was not working. The car went limp and acted as if it was in neutral. While trying to pull over to the side of the freeway, the acceleration kicked back in as if nothing happened. This happened twice. The second time I was driving on city streets at 40mph, same conditions outside, and going up a slight hill in san francisco, the power dies/goes limp, a few seconds later, power on acceleration comes back. …”

“I have been getting my 2014 Subaru Crosstrek serviced at Continental Subaru in Anchorage, Alaska for the last 4.5 years. I initially thought that they were an honest dealer/mechanic. I originally bought my Subaru in California and drove it up to Anchorage and it has been here ever since. My car burns oil very quickly. I mentioned this several times and the dealer always said it wasn't that big of an issue. Between oil changes I frequently had to add a couple of quarts of oil in addition to what they added during the oil changes because the car was burning so much oil. …”
