2024 Subaru Crosstrek — reported problems and evidence

What owners report: issue areas

Owner complaints are classified by the system they concern: 146 classifications in all. One complaint can concern several systems, so these add up to more than the number of complaints.

Visibility (glass, wipers, mirrors)22 (15.1%)Official recall records for this system: 2, covering model years 2019.
Driver-assistance systems19 (13.0%)

Other / uncategorized: 31 classifications (21.2%) were not assigned to a specific system by the source. They are counted but not treated as an issue area.

These are counts of records held by CarFaultIQ, not a failure rate. More records can simply mean more vehicles were sold or more owners reported. No vehicles-in-service figure exists in this data, so no reliability or risk score can be derived from it.

What the records are about, by source

Each source is kept separate: owner complaints, recalls, manufacturer communications and investigations are different kinds of record and are never added together. All model years.

Owner complaints (1,968 records, model years 2017–2026) are most frequently classified under: visibility (glass, wipers, mirrors), electrical system and engine.
Manufacturer communications (3,734 records, model years 2017–2026) are most frequently classified under: electrical system, equipment & accessories and engine.

"Most frequently classified under" reports how the records are filed by the source. It is not a finding about causes, and a record can be filed under more than one system. Read the individual records
