  1. Suspension and Brakes
    Just a friendly reminder to check/clean/grease your caliper pins. Since i have purchased my vehicle shortly after my brakes started to squeal. I took it into multiple Subaru dealerships and all they had to say was that they cleaned it and that the pads have good life. Finally i got some time to...
  2. Interior, Audio, and HVAC
    Has anyone dealt with a squeaky front driver's seat? I'm aware people have run into this with the leather seats and the seat belt making some noise, but this appears to be coming from the seat support in my driver's seat... Does it every time I use the clutch. I am a bigger guy, so I suspect...
  3. Engine and Drivetrain
    Hey all, I have a 2016 Limited Crosstrek I bought used 3 months ago. It's been a slew of problems since I bought it (oil leak, AC leak, bad left front half shaft / CV, speakers blown), and now I have one more I'm trying to diagnose. The noise comes from the right side with a distinct...

    Hi. My recent purchaes came with Thule roof racks. When I attached them to my car I began hearing a really noticeable whistling sound. Is this normal?

    (*see video link to listen!) So my Crosstrek has been making this really annoying rattling sound when I accelerate. And it’s pretty consistent from about 1500 rpms to 3500rpms regardless of my speed. Sound is coming from the passenger side somewhere under the hood. It sounds like a metal plate...
  6. Engine and Drivetrain
    Ive read alot about this on different forums and websites, but most of the answers are either vague or not in agreement. I want to bring it up here is anyone has had similar problems. I really just wanna know if I need to take it to a subaru dealership or not. Can I get an indication of how...
  7. Engine and Drivetrain
    Hey everyone, mechanical question here that maybe someone has experienced or has an idea about. My '15XV has a weird noise coming from I think the transmission. On a hot engine (so this happens usually in the afternoon or after driving a while, not the mornings), When I accelerate I get...
  8. General Discussion Forum
    Maybe someone can give me an insight on this. I have a 2014 Subaru Crosstrek 40k, that I started to drive more frequently lately. At highway speed when I decelerate I get a weird humming noise coming from the rear. My car was recently inspected from the dealer and no issues. Always well...

    My AC Compressor makes this sound. I want to know if anyone knows how to fix it. I'm not one to take my car into a dealership. Is it just a bad clutch on the compressor? is it fixable or does it need to be replaced. (This isn't my video but I have the same year, model, and issue)
  10. New Member Introductions
    Hey All: I found my 5-speed XV for sale from a private party who wanted a larger vehicle for their family. Fine by me, as the manual transmissions are harder to come by. I've had it about 3.5 months now, and it's been great. Trips to the mountain (where's the snow?!?!) and to the beach from...
  11. Lighting, Electrical, and EyeSight
    I was curious if anyone else has ran into this or if this is a one off thing. It's very annoying. The Midwest has been getting some rain recently and I've been forced to drive in it with my commute. The XV handles it very well, no issues there. But, turning the rear wiper on results in a relay...
  12. Engine and Drivetrain
    Hi all, I am all excited about my new XV, CVT transmission, I have had it less than a week now (200 miles maybe). However, I have noticed a high- pitched sound, like a whining or whirring, that goes with the usual engine cilinders' sound. It increases with acceleration and it is definitely more...
  13. Dealer Service, Maintenance, and Warranty Issues
    What happens, is that on a cold start (car has been sitting overnight), I turn the key, it starts, then about half a second later this loud thunk and grinding sound happens (only lasts for a second or so), the RPMs drop significantly, then everything returns to normal. Usually. I had this...
  14. Dealer Service, Maintenance, and Warranty Issues
    I am noticing is a vibration noise (might be from the exhaust pipes vibrating) after stopping at a light or stop sign. Anyone else hearing that noise?
  15. Dealer Service, Maintenance, and Warranty Issues
    I have a persistent wind noise coming out at speed 80kph and up since I bought my xv almost a year ago. I have been to 2 dealerships, they acknowledged the problem and tried several things at different times to fix it. Disappointedly, until now it still doing it. Yesterday I brought the car in...
