2015 Subaru Xv Crosstrek Recalls, Issues & Maintenance

“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”

“AFTER PUTTING MY CAR IN PARK, MY KEY WILL NOT COME OUT OF THE IGNITION. I HAVE TO REVERSE AND DRIVE UP AGAIN AND THEN PARK AGAIN, IN ORDER FOR MY KEY TO THEN FINALLY COME OUT. I'M NERVOUS THAT WON'T WORK FOR LONG”

“KEY KEPT GETTING STUCK IN THE IGNITION WHEN THE CAR WAS PARKED (AND THE SHIFTER IN THE PARK POSITION). THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN FROM SUBARU FOR FIVE OF THEIR MODELS. APPARENTLY THE CAUSE IS CONTAMINATION OF THE PARK-RANGE SWITCH INTERNAL COMPONENTS”

“THE BRAKE SWITCH FAILED CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO BE STUCK IN PARK. SUBARU HAS A RECALL ON THE BRAKE SWITCH, BUT MY CAR IS NOT COVERED UNDER THAT RECALL. RECALL 15V366000. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH SUBARU AND THE DEFECT SHOULD BE COVERED”

“AT 37,801 MILES, THE BRAKE SWITCH COMPONENT FAILED ON MY 2015 SUBARU XV CROSSTREK. THE HILL ASSIST, ABS, AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS ALL CAME ON. WHEN I PARKED THE VEHICLE AND SHUT IT OFF, IT REFUSED TO COME OUT OF PARK, LEAVING THE VEHICLE STRANDED”

“SOMETIMES WHEN PUSHING THE BRAKE PEDAL THE ABS LIGHT COMES ON AND WILL NOT ALLOW THE CAR TO SHIFT FROM PARK. OTHER TIMES MAY COME ON WHILE DRIVING. THE CAR ONLY HAS 25K MILES ON IT”

“SUNROOF EXPLODED WHILE I WAS DRIVING 60 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. I HEARD A LOUD BOOM, LIKE A GUN FIRING, AND THEN GLASS FLYING EVERYWHERE. GLASS WENT IN MY EYES, ON MY HEAD, DOWN MY JACKET, ALL OVER IN THE CAR, AND ALL OVER THE ROOF”

“While driving on the freeway (no overpasses) my sunroof suddenly exploded. when I was able to stop and look at the damage, the remaining part of the sunroof was arched upward. There was no evidence of an object having hit the glass”

“Sunroof spontaneously exploded while driving 65mph on highway”

“I have owned this vehicle since 2018 and at random times on the highway the engine will lose power and the car will drift to a halt. No warning signs beforehand and this has happened at various stages of highway drives”

“TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 SUBARU CROSSTREK. WHILE DRIVING 80-85 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WITHOUT WARNING. IN ADDITION, THE TACHOMETER INCREASED TO HIGH AND THE SPEEDOMETER DECREASED”

“ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY: I HAD BEEN DRIVING FOR ABOUT AN HOUR AND A HALF WHEN MY LOW FUEL WARNING LIGHT CAME ON, WHICH MEANT I STILL HAD 70 MILES LEFT UNTIL EMPTY”

“Oil leaking into coolant system. Car has been through several repairs but the problem continues even after multiple repairs of possible source of leakage. Potential hazard or car catching on fire with leaking oil fluid”

“The car has the temp light come on intermittently and then it never came on again. I opened the hood and a hose from the radiator to the overflow tank was not connected. I brought the car to a Subaru dealer. The technician found oil in the radiator of the car”

“HEAD GASKET FAILURE, RESULTING IN WATER AND OIL CONTAMINATION. TAKEN TO DEALER FOR SERVICING ON FEBRUARY 12, 2021, AND STILL NOT FIXED AS OF APRIL 21, 2021”

“I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE AND THE CAR TOOK OFF LIKE A ROCKET!.I HEARD THE ENGINE ROARING IT JUMPED THE CURB, SPED ABOUT 15 FEET THROUGH THE GRASS, I SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES, JUST MISSED A TREE, AND THE CAR STOPPED”

“AS DRIVER WAS PARKING IN FRONT OF HER HOME, VEHICLE ACCELERATED IN RESPONSE TO BRAKING AND RAMMED INTO FRONT PORCH, ABOUT 60 FEET AWAY. DESPITE FORCE OF COLLISION, NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED”
