I have contacted all of the local dealers to schedule a recall repair on my engine valve springs. They all put me on a waiting list. This occurred 2 months ago and I still have not heard from any of the dealers. I believe the dealerships have not acted properly to remedy the issue in a timely manner, which is a real safety concern for me as I drive the vehicle daily.

Subaru sent out a recall for my vehicle recall # wty-84 in the letter they state that the engine may stall while driving and causing an increased risk of a crash. When I called the local dealership they told me the first appointment they have to resolve this was on Feb 12, 2020. Finding this completely unsatisfactory for a company to expect its customers to drive a car they are telling us is a death trap. I called mail office Subaru to ask what the situation was. They claimed that another dealer in my area was able to schedule for this March/April they also stated that I would be able to rent a vehicle free of charge until my car was repaired if I was not feeling good about driving it. I called the dealership and they told me that was not the case - they have 100 people on their waiting list and no parts are even available let from Subaru to start fixing any cars - and they do not have a program to give any one rental cars while we wait. Even if I now wanted to trade my car I could not as no other company is to buy a car from me that has a recall on it that cannot be fixed for a year and is a death trap.

The oil level warning light was iluminated. I stopped and added oil. This is a constant problem which is causing me to add a quart of oil once per week. The dealer has a fix but only for vehicles under warranty and since my vehicle is out of warranty, I'll have to pay out of pocket. From online searches, this is an issue affecting many cars. The cost, for me, will be in the thousands of dollars.

Engine oil leak causing excessive oil consumption and low oil levels between reasonable recommended oil change mileage (burning 3 quarts in 1200 miles). Low oil light does not always illuminate, causing safety hazard of blowing motor due to unreasonably fast oil consumption and owner not being aware of problem. Car has 42000 miles on it and this was a known problem that dealership/Subaru are neglecting to properly fix.

- Syracuse, NY, USA

My 2013 Subaru Xv crosstrek is burning oil. At the time that the oil light came on, the car had 43,675 miles on it. I just read where someone else is having this same issue. I purchased this vehicle brand new 2 years ago and feel that a new car should not be burning oil.

- Edmunds Twp, ME, USA

My 2013 Subaru crosstrek xv has been burning oil since new. The dealer, and Subaru, have done nothing to help fix the issue. Currently its burning a quart of oil every 2000-3500 miles. This can't be right but Subaru tell me that it is ok for the car to "consume" a quart of oil every 1200 miles.

The vehicle has a continuously variable transmission. When approaching a stop light or stop sign I remove my foot from the gas pedal and then the vehicle starts to slow down. When the engine RPM's reach around 1400 RPM the vehicle quits slowing down and continues forward at what ever speed it is at. The car may not be accelerating but it feels like it is because it quits slowing down. If I touch the brake a bit the engine again slows down until it reaches the idle RPM of about 750. On several occasions I have had to quickly hit the brakes to avoid hitting the vehicle in from of me. I purchased the vehicle in Minnesota and noticed the problem within the first week but didn't pursue it until I got to Texas as this is where the vehicle will be kept. The Texas Subaru service found no diagnostic codes and drove the vehicle with me and noticed what I did. The Texas Subaru service manager had me drive a 2014 and it does the same thing but seems to start slowing down again once it has done the acceleration at 1400 RPM for a second or two. They opened a tech line case file but say there is nothing else they can do. I feel this is a safety issue that will cause an accident, maybe not for me as I now keep my foot on the brake whenever slowing down, but certainly for others.
