2016 subaru crosstrek 2.0 ltd (cvt) when placing vehicle in park, occasionally, will not allow me to remove ignition key when transmission is placed in park position. Safety issue is that i am not able to exit vehicle because if they remains in the car, it will be an easy vehicle to steal. Especially an issue if i am in a parking lot at night or during severe weather conditions. The car dealer and subaru of america feel that it is my financial responsibility even though there are numerous other subaru crosstrek owners that have voiced the same complaint. Subaru has issued several service bulletins acknowledging that there is a defect and that the shifter was redesigned for model year 2019. Subaru service bulletin 16-112-18r states "the cause is contamination if the park-range switch internal components.

While driving on the highway with a quarter tank of gas, without warning, my vehicle's engine turned off. As i was in the left lane at the time, i was forced to pull over onto the small shoulder. There were two other occupants in the car and the nearest roadside assistance was an hour away. There were no warning lights or messages prior, and my gas gauge said i had 80 miles until empty. This is the third time this has occurred. I believe this is related to a faulty fuel pump, because my gas tank was not empty. It has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police or insurance.

This is a suspected problem with the side airbags located in the driver/front passenger seats. The seat upholstery has two straps that guide the airbag into the upholstery seam when the airbag deploys. Over time, the straps chafe on the sharp edges of the seat frame and wear through. As a result, there is a risk that the seat airbag will not deploy correctly. I discovered this problem when i was performing the following procedure https://static.Nhtsa.Gov/odi/tsbs/2018/mc-10140486-9999.Pdf.To be clear, my airbag has not deployed and i do not know what would happen had the airbag deployed. I'm attaching some photos. The photos show the two straps, one of which is mostly worn through. They also show the straps in their intended install location. There is a photo with some arrows and comments. Another thing to note is that i have seen multiple seats with this problem from cars with much lower mileage. I have another set of seats from a subaru wrx that also has this issue. Subaru seats share a common architecture and the airbags are the same on crosstrek/impreza/wrx/forester. In addition, a fix seems rather simple. This would involve applying some strong tape to the sharp edges of the seat frame to cover the sharp edges.

Had been driving for about 15 minutes, majority of it had been on the highway, and i exited off the highway. I waited at a stop light and then turned onto a secondary road. The car all of a sudden gave all warning lights with the hybrid system and i lost acceleration in the vehicle. It made it very hard to steer, and when stepping on the gas it barely had any power to accelerate the vehicle. Felt like i lost the main power a d was using only the hybrid battery to power the vehicle. I pulled off on a side street put the car in park and shut the vehicle off. I waited a few minutes and then turned the car back on and everything was fine. This occurred while driving and if it had happened two minutes earlier i would've been on the highway and in real trouble.

No power steering backing up after starting the car. Warning light came on. Turned engine off and back on still no power steering. Parked waited 15 minutes tried again and the steering worked only felt a little loose.

On freeway, car suddenly did not want to accelerate when pushing on the gas. Car then decelerated until i pulled over on the side of the road, almost coming to a complete stop, and then i pushed on gas and it accelerated again.
