2013 subaru crosstrek(70k miles) passenger door caught on fire. Within 3 minutes of smelling smoke inside door panel was engulfed in flames. Went to the shoulder of the freeway, turned engine off, put out the flames, waited for the smoke to clear and the plastic to cool off. Upon restarting vehicle sparks and smoke visible so turned vehicle off. Cut the red(+) wires, restarted vehicle(no smoke), drove to dealership for repairs. Obviously a short in the electrical system, none of the fuses popped. Had a passenger been in the passenger seat i'm sure they would have been hurt. Picked up the vehicle yesterday and paid 2k over insurance estimate.

I recieved a recall notice in dec. 2018.i called my dealer to make an appointment.i was told the next appointment would be december 2020.i was told the appointment would be moved up but that has not happened.the only way to get it done earlier would be to take it to the dealer and use a loaner or rental car until fixed, approximately one month. I live 80 miles from the closest dealer.i don't feel it is safe to drive it to the dealer.

Solenoid valve in cvt cracked after 6.5 years of use (roughly 140k - 160k miles). Got it fixed, then 1 year later (another 40k - 20k miles), it went out again. This time the whole transmission needed to be replaced. Both times i was accelerating. The first time from a stop, and second time i was on the freeway going about 70 mph.
When turning right heard clicking se from right front;garage replaced axle 74,141 miles.was told by 1st garage that this was their 3rd 2013 crosstrek in the last month that was having this problem.subaru dealer told me they were not aware of a problem.
The car would lose a quart of anti freeze every 7500 miles.i brought it in at least 8 times telling them there was a problem. They pressure tested the vehicle at least 8 times and 2 service managers said i was nuts they are both fired. My 20 year old daughter drives from new york to florida. I asked a service manager when the car had approx, 55k to give this car to a mechanic, service writer or him self to go on vacation with a free car. The service managerdeclined saying there is nothing wrong with the car and would not let anybody take the car. I was in touch with subaru customer care many times . Finally the car hit 74k in virginia when the transmission went bad. Towed to a subaru dealer in virginia at about 6am. Thankfully my oldest son was in the car with her coming to florida. They at the dealer said it would be $8000 to fix the car. The dealer must of called subaru customer care and explained because they would cover $5000 and i would have to pay the rest. We got the car back and went 3500 miles and no anti freeze lost. The anti freeze was always checked in the morning before starting it up. I called subaru c.c and the guy reviewed the problem and gave me all my money back. I also saw on the internet another car with 68k had the same problem.

2013 subaru crosstrek(70k miles) passenger door caught on fire. Within 3 minutes of smelling smoke inside door panel was engulfed in flames. Went to the shoulder of the freeway, turned engine off, put out the flames, waited for the smoke to clear and the plastic to cool off. Upon restarting vehicle sparks and smoke visible so turned vehicle off. Cut the red(+) wires, restarted vehicle(no smoke), drove to dealership for repairs. Obviously a short in the electrical system, none of the fuses popped. Had a passenger been in the passenger seat i'm sure they would have been hurt. Picked up the vehicle yesterday and paid 2k over insurance estimate. Now having to squeeze the insurance for the difference since i didn't take it to their suggested repair shop and subaru of america would not pay for damage due to poor workmanship/faulty parts. Anyone else have problems such as this?

After 73,000 miles of mostly non-peak highway miles the break light switch failed. This caused my brake lights to fail. I didn't know that the lights didn't work until after researching this problem online. The dash hill assist, abs, and traction control lights came on intermittently during driving for about 2 months and then were constant when it finally failed completely.

Left constant velocity (cv) joint has failed after only 66k miles. During turns the car makes a loud clicking noise that is distracting and i was concerned the car may inflict more damage to the drive system.
I would like answer to why the cvt was given an extended warranty and if there is a future recall on this transmission due to stalling? i never received notice of the 10 year or 100,000 mile extended warranty whichever comes first. My car is above that (123,000 miles). I have been having issues with it and it was diagnosed with cvt problems and the estimated repair cost is over $8,000. The subaru dealer told me they aren't even allowed service the transmission... Is this due to the problems? i am a single mother on a teacher's salary that saved up for two years prior to purchasing this used vehicle three years ago (2016). I finally paid of my car last month and was so excited to be able to finally not have a car payment and be able to finally save more money for my son's college. Now, i can't even safely drive my son to school or myself to work in my subaru. Why are only the lives of people's car whose mileage under 100,000 taken into account? if i choose to continue driving my car as it is, i risk my car stalling or transmission failing causing an accident. If i don't drive it, i risk missing work and not being able to feed my son. It seems like subaru is looking out for their bottom line by issuing a warranty on a known problem, rather than taking necessary steps to fix the problem.

2 windshield replacements since may 2013 due to chips/cracks.21k miles per year average driving in normal conditions.the latest incident was a large crack that appeared on 6/13/17.there was no crack when the car was parked in my driveway at 6/12.when i left workthe morning of 6/13/17 there was a 6 inch crack in the windshield.the temp had a roughly 25 degree f swing from hot to cold with rain overnight.there are complaints all over the internet about the crosstrek windshield being more fragile in this regard that other cars.incident rate of damage seems much higher than it should be.
