Car parked and some electrical wire? Caused car to catch fire? The back drivers side of the hatchback/trunk area was burnt/ melted through to the metal and the wires around the back window on inside were hanging down and hot plastic dripped down onto a box of papers that were in the hatchback. The papers had black burnt spot on them but fortunately did not all burn. There was a dark black brown spot on the back window drivers side on the inside and there was soot all over the inside of the entire vehicle and insides of the windows. It got so hot that the trunk could not be opened. Not sure what caused it. I was parked in my work parking lot. I got to work at 7 pm and got out of work around 938 am. The windows were closed thankfully. There was no damage to the outside of the car. All the damage was on the inside. My husband is car owner.

My vehicle was recalled. I contacted the local subaru dealership and subaru directly and they both stated that due the the volume of cars affected they were not taking any new appointments until 2020 and to call them back in 2020. The issue is with the valve springs in the engine. A fracture in the spring could cause engine failure. I want subaru to replace it now, pay me to have it fixed somewhere else or replace my current subaru with a fair value trade-in. This is unacceptable and avoid be illegal. On top of that, the responses from both the local and corporate offices is also unacceptable. They should be embarrassed.

After replacing valve springs at the subaru dealership due to a recall, now oil is mixed in the coolant. Problem appeared same day as we picked the car from dealership upon completion off recall issue. After explained the problem to them they replace coolant again to test see if the problem continues. The problem continues but now they claim preexisting condition!!! Imagine that! Please is there any advise before we sick legal action. We are afraid car will over heat nad burn engine or catch fire!

I would like answer to why the cvt was given an extended warranty and if there is a future recall on this transmission due to stalling? I never received notice of the 10 year or 100,000 mile extended warranty whichever comes first. My car is above that (123,000 miles). I have been having issues with it and it was diagnosed with cvt problems and the estimated repair cost is over $8,000. The subaru dealer told me they aren't even allowed service the transmission... Is this due to the problems? I am a single mother on a teacher's salary that saved up for two years prior to purchasing this used vehicle three years ago (2016). I finally paid of my car last month and was so excited to be able to finally not have a car payment and be able to finally save more money for my son's college. Now, i can't even safely drive my son to school or myself to work in my subaru. Why are only the lives of people's car whose mileage under 100,000 taken into account? If i choose to continue driving my car as it is, i risk my car stalling or transmission failing causing an accident. If i don't drive it, i risk missing work and not being able to feed my son. It seems like subaru is looking out for their bottom line by issuing a warranty on a known problem, rather than taking necessary steps to fix the problem.

Called el paso, tx subaru dealership to schedule fix of safety recall wty-84. First time on 1/14/19 and 1/16/19. Told both times someone would get back with me to schedule the recall repair. Called today, 3/7/19 and was told that there is a list, approximately 15 people ahead of me on this list, for the safety recall and that i am not on that list and it could take an additional 1 to 2 weeks to get my vehicle in for the repair and that wasn't a guarantee. I have not taken my vehicle on any long distance trips in fear that the engine may stall and i'd be responsible for an accident. Asked to speak to service manager to address my concerns, but he wasn't in.

Subaru of america, inc. (subaru) is recalling certain 2012-2014 , , xv crosstrek the engine valve springs in these vehicles may fracture causing an engine malfunction or a possible engine stall. Its been months and still no response from any subaru dealership regrding my subaru.

I recieved a recall notice in dec. 2018. I called my dealer to make an appointment. I was told the next appointment would be december 2020. I was told the appointment would be moved up but that has not happened. The only way to get it done earlier would be to take it to the dealer and use a loaner or rental car until fixed, approximately one month. I live 80 miles from the closest dealer. I don't feel it is safe to drive it to the dealer.
