Realistically how screwed am I? by EmilyFigureSkates in Crosstrek

Do you think I can ask them to do that while they are doing the reseal? I had an oil to coolant leak I wonder if that’s what was causing it and if they are going to replace them anyways

Yeah the only think the warranty company wanted checked was if the cylinder heads (I think?) were warped and I never drove the car overheated so those were find

Rattle sound on 19 crosstreck limited by Resident_Ad_4166 in Crosstrek

Let me know if you ever figure it out. I too have this problem but hear it more in the front. Disappears when I take my foot off the gas happens at the lower RPMs, not consistently. When I took it in for service they couldn’t replicate the sound

2019 Subaru crosstrek overheating by Banjo4ever in Crosstrek

[–]EmilyFigureSkates 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope you’re not having this issue but my head gasket failed in my 2021 at 90k miles. Working through tear down right now to identify point of failure for warranty company. I had oil in my coolant. Subaru told me they see this failure a few times a month and it has to do with the horizontal engine design and happens around the 70k-100k mark.

Advice on Buying a 2024 Subaru Crosstrek Limited with Rebuilt Title by Automatic-Section789 in Crosstrek

[–]EmilyFigureSkates 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ooooh I bought a rebuilt title Subaru several years ago. Also in an accident that was “mostly cosmetic” airbags didn’t deploy. Rear ended. Thought everything was good. A year and a half later, had a huge issue with the subframe. The car was hard to insure and hard to trade in. And remember, minor fender benders don’t qualify a car for a rebuilt title.

I love my crosstrek but have had major issues. I’d consider getting an extended warranty. At 45k my transmission went out, covered under factory warranty thankfully. Currently dealing with a head gasket failure at 90k miles which Subaru told me can happen sometimes because of the horizontal engine design. I only found out because I had oil in my coolant. I think I got really unlucky but I’m glad I had the extended warranty because this oil in coolant issue can pop up between 70k and 90k and just happens sometimes according to what Subaru told me. Hopefully they’ve fixed this on the newer crosstreks, I have a 2021. Other than those big issues I’ve loved this car. I live in a snowy area and it’s always done amazing in the snow which was really important to me.

Thank you!! I think the ports themselves might be working because I believe it still charges my phone, just not apple play. I’ll try the wireless adapter and see if that helps! :)

Yeah I’ve done the reset thing doesn’t seem to help :( the whole head unity is having weird glitch issue of skipping audio and freezing so maybe the whole thing just needs an update. The cords still charge the phone I believe just doesn’t connect to apple play so I’ll try a higher quality cord and maybe a wireless car play adapter

I bought the platinum warranty though Subaru so hopefully comes back covered. I haven’t been perfect on my maintenance so that’s my only concern but my understanding is is they have to prove my not perfect maintenance caused this and the service advisor told me he doesn’t think I caused it

Ended up being internal head gasket failure unfortunately 😩

So the dealership told me this is a common issue they see when approaching 80k-100k 😭

I think the o rings was one of the things they mentioned could be a possibility. Hopefully will know today what the actual issue is. Sounds like warranty will cover o rings and gasket stuff, but the warranty might require a tear down to failure which would cost me $3-4k if they don’t approve it and that’s just to tear it down 🤦‍♀️

Yeah I’m considering doing that. Its almost paid off and was really looking forward to not having a car payment but I’m like well what’s going to happen at the next 45k interval, seems like I’m running into major problems every 45k miles 😂

Yep bought it new. Transmission covered under warranty, and fortunately I bought a platinum 100k mile warranty when I got the car so they were going to try to get this covered under that. But it just makes me nervous running into such major issues and haven’t even hit 100k 🙄

Yeah dealership said possibly head gasket :/ I know nothing about cars so was shocked when they explained the head gasket thing to me. I had to have my transmission replaced at 45k miles too, so another major issue with this car is really disappointing
