2015 Subaru Xv Crosstrek

REVERSE LIGHTS AND REAR VIEW CAMERA WILL NOT TURN OFF. THEY STAY ON IN DRIVE, NEUTRAL, PARK AND THE MANUAL MODE. I'VE BEEN TO THE SUBARU DEALER AND ANOTHER MECHANIC AND THEY CANNOT RESOLVE WITHOUT MAJOR LABOR HOURS TO LOOK INTO THE ISSUE. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. CARS BEHIND ME WILL BELIEVE I AM REVERSING INTO THEM SINCE THE LIGHTS ARE ALWAYS ON (THEY MAY DECIDE TO TAKE UNNECESSARY EVASIVE ACTION). THIS IS ALSO BLINDS DRIVERS WHO ARE BEHIND ME AS THE BRIGHT REVERSE LIGHTS ARE ALWAYS ON. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS. THIS IS NOT SAFE. THIS HAPPENS IN MOTION, IN PARK, ETC. I'VE DONE NO MODIFICATIONS TO THIS CAR AND THIS CAR HAS NEVER BEEN JUMP STARTED. I WOULD BE HAPPY TO UPLOAD VIDEOS OF THIS INCIDENT OCCURRING AS I HAVE MANY. WITH THE REVERSE CAMERA STAYING ON THE CAR'S INFOTAINMENT CENTER IS RENDERED USELESS. THIS IS ALSO EXTREMELY DISTRACTING WHILE DRIVING AS YOU HAVE TO DEAL WITH A CONSTANT VIDEO FEED OF WHAT'S BEHIND YOU.

DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY FOR 1.5 HRS WHEN CAR JUST WENT LIMP. ACCELERATOR WOULDN'T WORK, STARTED TO PULL OVER, CAR CAME TO STOP AND IT WAS DEAD, EXCEPT FOR ELECTRICAL. TRIED TO RESTART FOR OVER AN HOUR AND ALTHOUGH IT CRANKED, IT WOULD NOT TURN OVER. AGAIN ALL ELECTRICAL WAS FULLY FUNCTIONAL. AFTER HAVING IT TOWED, THE NEXT DAY IT STARTED RIGHT UP AND NO WARNING LIGHTS ARE ON ON THE DASH AT ALL. VEHICLE IS SERVICED AS SCHEDULED, AND ONLY HAS 47,000. AFTER RESEARCHING FORUM I HAVE FOUND IT IS SOMEWHAT A POPULAR THING BUT DEALEERSHIPS CANNOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM, YET IN KEEPS RECURRING TO OWNERS. SEEMS TO BE A FACTORY ISSUE OR SOME SORT OF FAULTY PART THAT IS CUTTING THE FUEL PROCESS. WHEN YOU ARE STUCK ON THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY IN THE DARK, IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND JUST HOPE NO OTHER CAR HAPPENS TO SWERVE AND HIT YOU. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED BECAUSE IT SOUNDS LIKE A POPULAR OCCURRENCE WITH THE VEHICLE.

VARIOUS WARNING SYMBOLS ON THE DASH WILL ILLUMINATE FOR NO REASON WHEN THE CAR IS OPERATING AND IS IN MOTION ON EITHER HIGHWAY OR CITY STREET. DIFFERENT SYMBOLS AT DIFFERENT TIMES. INCLUDED ARE LOW TIRE PRESSURE, DYNAMIC CONTROL, HILL START ASSIST, ABS. THESE WARNING LIGHTS WILL JUST COME ON EITHER BY THEMSELVES OR SEVERAL AT A TIME. THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WILL ALSO BECOME NON-RESPONSIVE WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE WHILE IN MOTION IN TRAFFIC ON A CITY STREET. THE CAR WILL ACTUALLY START TO DECELERATE. PUMPING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL HAS BROUGHT RESPONSIVENESS BACK. BRAKE LIGHTS WILL ALSO COME ON ON THEIR OWN WHEN THE CAR IS PARKED, ENGINE OFF, NOT OPERATING AND WILL COMPLETELY DRAIN THE BATTERY. CANNOT EVEN UNLOCK THE CAR WITH THE KEY FOB. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE PAST MONTH.

IN JULY, THIS YEAR (2019), THE KEY BEGAN STICKING IN THE IGNITION SWITCH. GRADUALLY WORSENED OVER A PERIOD OF 2 WEEK TO THE POINT THAT IT COULD NOT BE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION SWITCH AT ALL. BOB MOORE DEALERSHIP FIXED THE ISSUE COSTING ME OVER $500.00. DURING THE PAST WEEK THE SAME IGNITION SWITCH PROBLEM HAS BEGAN TO OCCUR AGAIN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 SUBARU XV CROSSTREK. WHILE DRIVING AND RELEASING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE VEHICLE HESITATED TO ACCELERATE FOR APPROXIMATELY FOUR SECONDS WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WOULD THEN RESUME NORMAL OPERATION. THE FAILURE WAS EXPERIENCED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SERVCO TOYOTA HONOLULU (2850 PUKOLOA ST #200, HONOLULU, HI 96819, (808) 564-1100) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT A FAILURE CODE WAS NOT FOUND. THE VEHICLE WAS ALSO TEST DRIVEN, BUT THE FAILURE WAS NOT DUPLICATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 19,000.

AT TIMES WE ARE NOT ABLE TO REMOVE THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION SWITCH WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN PARK. WE LOOKED AROUND THE INTERNET AND FOUND THAT SUBARU HAD RELEASED A SERVICE BULLETIN REGARDING THIS. BULLETIN NUMBER 16-112-18R ADDRESSES THE ISSUE THAT WE ARE HAVING WITH OUR CROSSTREK. PEOPLE ARE SAYING ONLINE THAT THEY ARE SPENDING $400+ TO GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED. WHY ISN'T SUBARU DOING A RECALL ON THIS IF LOT OF CARS ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE? THE PRICE TO GET THIS FIXED IS A LOT CONSIDERING THE CAR IS NOT THAT OLD AND THIS IS NOT A WEAR AND TEAR ISSUE. IT IS A DESIGN FLAW AND THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE ADDRESSING IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 SUBARU XV CROSSTREK. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS OR WHEN ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL, BUT IT FAILED TO ENGAGE PROPERLY. ALL THE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT HAD TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF FOR THIRTY MINUTES TO ONE HOUR OR MORE IN ORDER TO RESUME NORMAL OPERATION. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V149000 (EXTERIOR LIGHTING) APPROXIMATELY ONE YEAR AGO. AT THAT TIME, THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DICK HANNAH SUBARU (7407 NE VANCOUVER PLAZA DR, VANCOUVER, WA 98662, (360) 605-1520) FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH WAS REPLACED OVER EIGHT TIMES BY TWO DIFFERENT DEALERS, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,000.
