2016 Crosstrek 2.0L reggy-gas no eye-sight. 122K miles, but hardly driven at all for the past year and a half. I'm the sole owner. I take very good care of the car, I'm a pilot, understand machines and internal combustion engines, etc... This was my first fully-new owned car and I've been...

Hey everyone, looking for some help here before simply accepting the local dealer's 'analysis' that the entire transmission needs to be replaced. I'm driving a 2014 with 167k miles. Bought it used a few months ago, 1-owner vehicle. I wasn't sure what the maintenance history was regarding the...

Hi, Maybe someone have some advice here: On road with 10% incline, wet snow (~ 1cm, 1/2" thick) , air temp. +1oC. On the climb the car could not make it (!) Wheels spinning, could hear ABS knocking as to compensate for loss of traction, VDC warning lights flashing etc... Other AWD around...

I was out in Denver from Ohio. On a 102 degree afternoon, I got AT overheat light. I pulled over and to make a short story long, got my 2017 Crosstrek towed to the Golden Subaru dealer. Three days later, I got the car back - apparently, the Control Valve Body went bad. They replaced it, some...

I keep my Crosstrek Sport (2.5L) in Sport mode all the time. I notice it hooks up much harder off the line and has very strong engine braking when slowing down...compared to the "Intelligent" mode. I can't imagine this being easy on the CVT. Thoughts?

Hey All, I've got a 2016 Crosstrek premium, currently 74K miles. I've been noticing that the whole vehicle sort of wobbles right at 30 mph, and only at 30 mph. If I speed up to 35 mph, or slow down to 25 mph, there is no wobble... There's no noise associated with it, and doesn't seem to have...

Hi All, I recently purchased a used Subaru XV 2014. And I have been advised that I should change the CVT Oil as there is a jerk when driving in low gears and usually the CVT should be changed after 50,000 Miles. This has already done 62,000+ miles. I reached out to Subaru and they recommended...

greetings fellow crosstrekers, just did a cvt oil change on a 2019 Subaru crosstrek at 40k miles. Wanted to show comparison between the new cvt oil and 40k cvt oil left is new and right is old truthfully, I believe it is best to change oil out every 30k after looking at the old oil

I have a 2013 Subaru XV Crosstrek Limited CVT with 118K miles at the time of incident. For starters, I knew something was wrong when my dash lit up like a Christmas tree. My “Check Engine Light” lit solid, “Traction Control OFF” light lit solid, ABS light lit solid, uphill light lit solid, “At...

I drive a 2014 Subaru XV/Crosstrek CVT transmission with a 1.5" lift and all terrain tyres. The other day I was off-roading down by a river bed where the surface is mostly very stoney. I had to cross a few bits of water and noticed that with some crossings with smaller stones i was getting...

Is it posible to convert a MT 2018 XV to a CVT automatic? I'm about to purchase one for a very good price but I dont want to have the MT struggle on my daily city commute

So I am new to the CVT AWD field. I am very familiar with normal trany flushes etc. Making myself familiar with the maintenance schedule for the difs and cvt it's noted that unless the car is preforming in a sever duty situation the fluid is to be "inspetced" . Can anyone define inspected for me...

Getting my valve body replaced on the CVT and need to find out the "relearn' procedure. Anyone know if this is the correct one for a 2015 XV crosstrek? I found it on an Outback forum: Disconnect battery Put foot on brake for 10 seconds (drain electrical system) Reconnect battery Turn ignition...

My Crosstrek was shuddering at low speeds under light load. Then the following dash lights - ABS, Traction Control, Hill Assist Check Engine, and AT Trans Oil lit up. The car, oddly, no longer shuddered and actually drove better. I replaced the brake switch - no change. I reset the dash...

The Story: So... my 2014 Crosstrek has about 40k miles on it and I wanted to run some Motor Medic through the engine before changing the oil. I've found that it really helps with keeping the engine idling smooth, and since I purchased the car secondhand, I wanted to make sure the engine was nice...

Hi, My dash lit up like Griswald's house the other day. It was of course the known CVT issue and the Torque Converter Clutch Pressure Control Solenoid. Of course I'm outside the extended warranty 10yrs or 100K by 14K miles. My car is only a 2013 which I find ridiculous that a 5 yr old subaru...

What would happen if the front differential was changed at 60,000 miles and gear oil added through the vent hole? Also what do you think would happen if the cvt transmission was checked by taking off the plug from the sealed unit? Definite failure? Run for awhile?

I'm planning to buy a 2018 Crosstrek in a few months. I currently have a 2012 Impreza with the CVT which appears to have design issues forcing SOA to extend the warranty to 100K miles. I've searched online but could not find any information if the CVTs have been redesigned or whatever issue...

Greetings. I'm new to this forum, and cannot find a word about the CVT problem, so I'm posting a new thread. Sorry. I Googled my 2014 Crosstrek XV before I bought it, and it got great reviews, but I JUST got the letter about the CVT problem. I'm 70 years old and I'm working 2 jobs to pay for...

2016 Subaru Crosstrek with 35,000 miles experienced a CVT failure on the freeway. I heard a loud pop suddenly lost power. All of the cluster warning lights turned on. Tried turing off the car and turning it back on. It wouldn't go into gear. Smelled a burning smell and the only light on now was...
