From the beginning my Subaru Crosstrek XV 2014 has been a pure lemonThe battery had to be replaced in the first week. Ive changed the brakes 4 timesI don't drive any different? The front wheel bearing went and when it went again same side, a different Subaru dealership said it had never been touched. The A/C failed at around 90,000km. New compressor and condenser. Subaru dealership said they couldn't get the parts, didn't have A/C for over a year. then about 8 mths ago the transmission went, the front wheel bearing different side. Then 3 months later the engine failed even though I told the Subaru deanship that the engine didn't sound right. In fact people would ask me what was wrong with my car all the time!
I even paid thousand of dollars for the 7 year extended warranty which only covered the 2 wheel bearing jobs on the same side within months of each other!
Ive written Subaru Canada many times in the last 6 mths and they have completely blown me off.
Mechanics tell me worst years to buy a Subaru 2013,2014, faulty design. I believe there is a recall on the 2013 engine. Mine could be that engine depending on when it rolled off the assembly line.
FA20 engine.
So there I was on my way to my family about 8 hrs away. I was in the middle of nowhere in December in -20C weather with no cell service, a women alone in the dark with her dog, her groceries and her Christmas presents for 12 hours before a tow truck could make it to me. This is a very unreliable vehicle!
I'm the original owner took good care of my car regular oil changes etc ...... I expect having paid full dollar for my car to last longer than
140,000km.
Any thoughts or help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
