2014 Subaru XV Crosstrek Transmission and drivetrain Problems

“Subaru Xv Crosstrek axle failure I bought my 2014 Subaru Xv Crosstrek in jan 2014. At 50k heard a clicking sound in the frontend. Took it to the dealer and they diagnosed a broken driver side axle. In july 2019 (at approximately 80k on the odometer) I heard a similar clicking sound coming from the front of the car when turning. I took it to the dealer for a brake light switch recall. They inspected the vehicle and this time it was my right axle that had to be replaced. …”

“I am having an issue with my key not being released from the ignition once the vehicle is put into park and turned off. I have researched this and it is a known issue caused by the shifter plate guide not being installed correctly at the factory on my vehicle model and can cost anywhere from $350-$450 to repair at a dealer. As this is a known factory issue I believe this should be covered under a recall by Subaru. It is not anything that I as an owner could prevent through regular maintenance. …”

“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). …”

“I backed out of my driveway, into the road. When I drove away, no faster that 25 MPH, I noticed that all the warning lights on my dash were illuminated. Alarmed, I promptly returned my car to the driveway and shut it off. I had traveled no further than 100 yards. Wondering if maybe it was a fluke, I tried to turn the car on again, but the car was completely unresponsive. I called aaa to have it towed to the dealership. Aaa's diagnostic codes were: p0851, p0705, p0700. Online research showed that these relate to the transmission. …”

“Rear wheel bearings need replaced at 104,000 miles at 80,000+- miles my wife noticed low pitched roaring at highway speed but did not inform me or dealer (her vehicle and has always been dealer serviced) I drove the vehicle after 104,000 dealer lof service and observed extremely loud roar at all speeds, we returned the vehicle to dealer and was told new wheel bearings are required, at our expense. Vehicle has never been off road or rough housed it is absurd at this day & age that factory wheel bearings last less than 100k”
