About These NHTSA Complaints:
The NHTSA is the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints can be spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem. See the Back button — blue bar at the very top of the page — to explore more.
CV axles click when turning. CV axles could break at any given point. If not fixed you could lose control of your car causing death to yourself or others while driving or render your car driveless. I've looked online and many other 2017 cross track owners have the same problem. So why is this not a recall.

The car lost power steering shortly after car was started to go on S short trip. We were still N our driveway when it happened. I could still drive it, but turning the steering wheel was difficult on curves on back roads and highway to the doctor's office 32 miles away. I have heard other Subaru have had shorts in the electric power assist system.

Key gets stuck in ignition and the car needs to be restarted in order to remove key. This occurs when stationary and trying to remove key from ignition. Had this issue for a about a month before I took it in as Subaru had a recall for wue90 stop light switch replacement and I thought it may be related as did my service provider at North park Subaru or maybe had to do with steering. The problem was not solved, the repair was out of my pocket. The service provider reported 'erratic operation of park switch on shifter' and the shifter was replaced and problem is resolved. This appears a manufacturing flaw that should be recalled as many others report the same issue. The service provider also reported the same issue and stated many people had come in recently to have the same issue serviced. It maybe unethical that the service provider has not or did not appear to be reporting the matter. Car is less than three years old (when occured) and has 50K miles on it.

Key gets stuck in ignition and the car needs to be restarted, put in reverse/drive, and then either moved or step firmly on the break and back in park. Sometimes it takes multiple attempts. Having this issue for a couple months. It doesn't happen every time, but often.
