2019 Subaru Crosstrek Electrical Problems

Anti-lockout mechanism failed to prevent telematics-initiated lockout. 1) Driver placed live child , keys, phone into car 2) Driver closed door with keys inside. The car normally refuses to lock under these conditions, detecting key inside, and preventing a hazard to infant who is unable to unlock the car.

I purchased a new 2019 subaru crosstrek plug-in hybrid vehicle from ocean subaru of fullerton ca on july26, 2019. A charging cable w/ charging circuit interrupting device came standard equipment w/ my vehicle. When I used the cable to charge my vehicle, I was going to insert the charger plug (3 prong plug) into my 110v outlet.

Car has repeatedly turned itself off while driving. Twice, when pressing the brakes while exiting the highway, all dashboard lights (eyesight alarms, check engine, etc.) will turn on. When the car comes to a stop, the oil light also turns on and the engine shuts off, essentially putting the car in neutral.

The contact owns a 2019 Subaru Crosstrek. The contact stated that while driving approximately 60 MPH, the vehicle lost power steering functionality, and the vehicle decelerated and lost drive power. The contact was able to coast to the side of the road, where the vehicle completely shut off and lost power.

Vehicle had a parasitic draw, was in the shop for an extended amount of time, I believe wiring issues were caused from this as well, I had to replace my driver side window switch, buy an optima battery, and drive 3.5hrs to a Subaru dealership in the middle of the winter hoping I’d make it safely and without stalling, the DCM was found to be at fault similarly to other vehicle owners included in another recall that somehow excluded 2019 Crosstrek drivers and included other MY variants such as the Outback and Forester of which also had a bulletin posted about this parasitic draw and how to go about warrantying the costs associated with the repair.

The starter failed and I was towed to the repair shop where they noted it was unable to kick out bendix to meet flywheel. Upon reviewing subaru's website and forums, there have been many reports of this problem on the crosstrek.

Today my vehicle make a single click sound and the car rattle a little while driving on the highway and suddenly everything shut off. All my guages, lights, and I lost power on the vehicle. Within seconds I had power again and my guages came back on and I was able to continue on the highway safely.

Battery won't hold a charge. Car is not reliable, danger of not starting and being stranded. Car has been inspected by dealership twice and new batteries were installed but the problem persists.

The vehicle of concern is a 2019 Subaru Crosstrek Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV). In the past 2 to 3 months, we have had multiple warning lights come on when the vehicle is started. In some cases, we were able to clear the warning lights by turning the vehicle off and back on several times over the course of 30-40 minutes.

I've had repeated problems with the 12v battery in my 2019 subaru crosstrek hybrid. The vehicle has some sort of electrical "leakage" issue that drains the battery after sitting for a few days. When this happens, the vehicle is completely inoperative; car will not start, you cannot even unlock the doors.

Starter failed at 50 k miles left me stranded

Tl* the contact owns a 2019 subaru crosstrek. The contact stated while driving 70 MPH, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was parked on the side of the roadway.

Our 2019 subaru crosstrek (16.8k miles) is not being driven as often as it used to be because we are now working from home. On 4/4/2020 we found the original battery drained dead after only 6 days of the car being undriven. Tried and failed to start the car - dashboard lights lit up but there were rapid clicking sounds.

I was driving in traffic to complete stop, as I was accelerating the vehicle stalled. This has happened only once. I have had another incident when I was backing up to park my car in my garage, my back up camera froze while im still in motion then the infotainment reboots.

My new subaru crosstrek has a problem with the radio preset stations. I programmed them soon after I purchased the car but 6 weeks later the preset stations disappeared and only the pre-installed (free trial) stations on sxm radio were working. I had to reprogram the stations.

Dashboard warning lights required an inspection by a qualified mechanic and made the assessment of a faulty ECM relatively easily by noting the excessive heat emitting from the ECU.

Subaru owners have reported experiencing premature parasitic battery drain in vehicles equipped with Starlink in-vehicle technology. The defect presents itself when the equipped data communications module (DCM) attempts to communicate with 3G cellular networks. As 3G networks within the U.S.

The contact owns a 2019 Subaru Crosstrek. The contact stated that after starting the vehicle, there was an abnormal ringing sound coming from underneath the dashboard. The contact turned off and restarted the vehicle, but the ringing sound persisted.

Battery drains rapidly and completely, sometimes overnight. Five times in less than one year. After a full charge only lasts a few days.

The manufacturer has failed to repair an open recall in a timely manner. Our Crosstrek Hybrid's 12-volt battery frequently needs charging and has been jumped a half dozen times in as many months and replaced twice since November.

The screen display with the oil temp gauge and water temp gauge will randomly turn off while driving as well as sometimes it will not turn on immediately when the car turns on. I have brought this to the dealers attention and nothing has been done, there has been no warning lights on the dash illuminated. This has been going on randomly for the last 6 months.

Battery Drain problem. Subaru had to replace the battery in January of 2022. That did not resolve the issue. My battery started dying again in June of 2022 & I have to constantly jump start my car. I complained to Subaru & brought my car in for servicing but all they did was test the battery immediately after it was driven on the highway for approximately 20 miles. The issue is not the battery, it is the electrical system that drains the battery.

2 battery failures in 2 years of purchasing vehicle. I am on my third battery in less than two years. Incidents occurred 15, 19, 23 and 24 months into car ownership.

The contact owns a 2019 Subaru Crosstrek. The contact stated that the vehicle would not start which resulted in the battery needing to be replaced. The contact stated that the check battery message was displayed on the instrument panel.

I’m having continuous problems with my car not starting or a dead battery. It has been in for for service 3x for this issue abc one of those times they replaced the battery. On 6/24/21 I picked up my car from the service department after leaving it there for several days only for them to tell me nothing is wrong with my car.

Stationary. Battery has been replaced 4 times. First subaru said that it needed to be started every couple of weeks.

Original battery failed 5 times in 6 months and was finally replaced by dealer. Second battery failed after a month and has now been replaced again by dealer. Vehicle had been driven for 20 minutes or more at least twice a week before the 2nd battery failure.

For the third time, the battery on this car needs to go back for service - the car is housed in a garage on our property and is turned on every 3-4 days. This morning and twice before the car doesn't start. In the previous 2 times the car was completely dead and I had to jump start it and take it to the dealer where they said they replaced the battery.

AFTER STARTING THE CAR AND BEGINNING TO REVERSE AWAY FROM MY HOME, THE REAR VIEW CAMERA FROZE FOR 10 SECONDS, NOT SHOWING ANY CHANGE IN MOVING OR STATIONARY OBJECTS. THIS HAPPENED DUE TO THE DRIVER SCREEN INTERFACE/ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM CRASHING AND REBOOTING. THE CRASH/REBOOT USUALLY HAPPENS IF THE CAR PAIRS BY BLUETOOTH WITH A PHONE THAT IS IN THE HOUSE, AND THEN GETS OUT OF RANGE WHEN THE CAR BACKS AWAY OR DRIVES AWAY FROM THE HOUSE. IF IT CRASHES WHILE REVERSING, THE SCREEN EITHER GOES BLANK OR FREEZES THE REAR VIEW IMAGE IN PLACE. IF THE SYSTEM CRASHES WHILE DRIVING FORWARD THEN THE REVERSE CAMERA IMAGE IS NOT AFFECTED. WHEN THE CAMERA FREEZES WHILE REVERSING, IT IS VERY DANGEROUS SINCE IT GIVES THE DRIVER THE FALSE VIEW THAT NOTHING IS BEHIND THE CAR WHEN THERE COULD BE A CHILD OR OBJECT.

MY WIFES CAR STARTED SMELLING LIKE GASOLINE INSIDE THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. WE TOOK IT TO A SUBARU DEALER AND A RODENT HAD CHEWED THE HIGH PRESSURE GAS LINE. IT THEN SPRAYED GASOLINE RIGHT INTO HER BACK SEAT FOAM AND CUSHION. IF WE TAKE THE RODENT OUT OF THE EQUATION, THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE AND WE WANT OUR MONEY BACK IN FULL. THE MATERIAL FOR WIRING AND FUEL LINES ARE MADE FROM A SOY BASED PRODUCT ATTRACTING RODENTS. THE SEAL THEY USE FOR THE GAS TANK ACCESS UNDER THE REAR SEAT IS A CHEAP FOAM NOT A NEOPRENE RUBBER OR O-RING. IF THE GAS WOULD OF LEAKED ONTO JUST THE GROUND I WOULDN'T EVEN BE TYPING THIS LETTER. I AM EXTREMELY CONCERNED ABOUT HIGH PRESSURE GAS GETTING INTO THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. I WANT TO CONTACT A LAWYER ABOUT THIS AND MAKE SUBARU ACCOUNTABLE. THE DEALER EVEN TOLD ME IT WAS THE SECOND ONE IN 2 WEEKS. THEY MUST USE A SOY BASED FUEL LINE TO ATTRACT TO RODENT, AND THEN THE FOAM SEAL IN NO WAY IS SAFE TO PREVENT A PRESSURE OF GASOLINE FROM REACHING INSIDE THE VEHICLE. MY WIFES CAR IS 13 MO OLD AND ONLY HAS 7400 MILES ON IT. SHE IS DEVASTATED AS THIS WAS HER FIRST BRAND NEW CAR EVER. NO WE HAVE A CAR WITH GAS SMELL INSIDE FOREVER. PLEASE HELP US!

THE CAR WAS PURCHASED IN NOVEMBER, AND THE BATTERY FAILED IN APRIL AFTER MULTIPLE DEAD BATTERIES AND JUMP STARTS. THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED AS 'DEFECTIVE.' THE CAR WAS JUMPED AGAIN FOR A DEAD BATTERY IN JUNE. THE BATTERY DIED AGAIN IN JULY, AND THE TECH SAID THAT THE REASON WAS THAT THE CAR HAD TO BE DRIVEN EVERY 5 DAYS OR THE BATTERY WOULD BE DEAD. IN AUGUST, THE CAR WAS TAKEN IN AND AGAIN THE DIAGNOSIS WAS A DEFECTIVE BATTERY, AND IT WAS REPLACED, THOUGH THEY ALSO SAID THAT THE CAR NEEDED TO BE STARTED AND DRIVEN ONCE A WEEK.

SOME TIME THIS CAR ACELERACIN MORE LIKE PUT MORE FULL, I START TO NOTICE WHEN I WAS DRIVEN IN THE SPECIFIC SPEED AND THE CAR START TO PUT MORE FULL AND SPEED MORE THAN I WAS

THE AUTO LOCK FUNCTION HAS MYSTERIOUSLY STOPPED WORKING. TRADITIONALLY, AUTO LOCK WILL WORK AS THE CAR BEGINS TO ROLL RIGHT IN REVERSE OR DRIVE. AFTER STARTUP IN MORNING ON MY WAY TO WORK, THE AUTO LOCKS MYSTERIOUSLY STOPPED ENGAGING AS THEY ALWAYS HAD BEFORE. THIS PROBLEM HAS CONTINUED AND NOW THE AUTO-LOCK FUNCTION DOES NOT WORK ALL TOGETHER. THE AUTO SHOP HAS LOOKED AT IT WITH MY LOCAL DEALER AND THEY CANNOT SOLVE THIS ISSUE.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

I purchased my 2019 crosstrek in november of 2018. On numerous occasions the radio / touchscreen resets itself. However before each self started reset a loud buzzing or static noise comes across the speakers scaring the ever living daylights out of me (the driver).

While driving down interstate highway, lots of warning lights suddenly appeared on dashboard. Car would only brake, not accelerate. After safely pulling off to side of road, car engine would not start.

The digital communication module (DCM) on this Crosstrek is faulty and is leading to parasitic drain on the car battery. This defect is consistent with other Subaru models such as the Outback. However, this specific model and year was not included in the class action suit and order but the issues are similar.

Today, 12/19/2021, marks the sixth (6th) time my car’s battery has failed and forced me to call Star Link to schedule and wait for a battery jump. Subaru refused to replace my battery after the 3rd and also refused to check the grounding wire upon a service inspection. This battery is faulty and Subaru knows it.

Vehicle battery will not hold power. Vehicle will not turn on and requires charging before it will turn on. Has happened 5 times in last month.

I purchase my 2019 subaru crosstrek in october of 18 because I decided to suck it up and have a payment to ensure I had a safe vehicle for myself and for my son. Since we always purchase subarus through my work, I went that route because I've been very pleased with them especially with safety.
