Vehicle has been stuttering from acceleration for awhile now. Noticeable more when going around 60mph when slowing down. It has done for about year off and on. Have taking to dealership few times stated nothing wrong first time. Second reset something worked for few days I thought but still does off and on. Feels like it doesn't get enough fuel.

The windhshild of the Subaru crosstek 2019 chipped with the tiniest of the stones that flung over from a different truck or vehicle passing by on the highway. We were also driving in exit lane and considerable slower than passing traffic. The stones was too small to cause a 12 inch line on the driver side.. I think there is a fargility problem or assembly problem in Subaru crosstek that makes so many windshiled breaks/chips.

I was driving and suddenly heard a loud thump. I looked around and behind me and didn't see anything or anyone around then I heard a crackling sound coming from my roof so I slightly opened my sunroof visor to spot broken glass so I closed the visor slowly in case any loose glass was present. I pulled over to look from the top and saw the entire sunroof was shattered. The glass looked as if it had 'exploded.'

If all doors are locked and I am inside the vehicle, I cannot open the door by pulling the door open lever. I have to open all doors which are electrically operated by a button on the door, and then open the door with the lever. I am worried that if the battery is dead or the door open switch is shorted in a flood, then I cannot get out by opening the door.

2 significant windshield cracks in less than one year. Of owning this car. One was repairable. The second has resulted in the need for replacement, as a small chip extended to 7 inches within one week. No excessive speed or driving at close proximity at fault. First crack 3/8/19. Second incident 1/27/20- less than one year apart on a brand new vehicle.

The car parked was found with a defective windshield (horizontal crack without apparent reason). The defective windshield seemed to occur spontaneously because my requested police investigation did not find any evidence on the cause of harm.

problem #10

Jul 252019

Crosstrek

  • 1,000 miles
The collision avoidance system is dangerous. Twice it has stopped the car for no reason. I was not close to another vehicle and I was not speeding. The system applied the brakes which cause both my passenger and me to be forced forward against the seat belts.the car actually skidded. What is worse is that the car behind me had no warning that I was going to be stopped and almost could not avoid a rear end collision. This system is dangerous. I have shut it off but it always comes back on when the car is restarted.

Crosstrek

  • 200 miles
This car was leased on June 3, 2009. Almost immediately I noticed that at slow speed in a parking lot or at an intersection, the car bogs down and shakes and bucks. Something like an inexperienced driver trying to drive a stick shift and not knowing how to shift smoothly. The bucking is very noticeable to everyone in the car. Even passengers ask what is wrong with it. This issue is constant and dangerous when trying to get out of the way of another driver.

problem #8

Sep 232019

Crosstrek

  • 3,000 miles
While driving a 5 week old vehicle down a state highway, two lane, 55mph road, there was a small "tick" sound that was very insignificant. The passenger pointed out that there was now a chip and cracks in the windshield. The small sound, or object that hit the windshield was less significant than some bugs that hit on a daily basis. Yet it chipped and cracked the 5 week old Crosstrek windshield. There's no way this minor thing that touched the windshield should have left a mark let alone a chip and cracks. Later in the same week, our outback that was purchased the same day brand new had the same issue, and it left a chip and crack.. from a very insignificant little something that barely hit the windshield.

I was driving down a road that is a 45mph road, and I dont hear a rock hit my windshield but I look down and notice I have a small crack starting at the very edge of my windshield, which then spread across my windshield rather quickly.

Crosstrek

  • 7,300 miles
There was a very loud explosion and the glass sunroof exploded while I was driving. The explosion blew the glass outward so for a moment I thought someone had run into me. The dealer's service department showed no concern at all and just gave me a couple of business cards for glass repair companies. Ther was no effort at all to tryto understand what had happened
