Owner Complaints (3)
Your 2022 Subaru Crosstrek suddenly lost all power and stopped while driving at 70 mph on the highway with no warning, which created a serious safety risk. The service department suggested a possible battery issue, but you're concerned this doesn't fully explain why a vehicle with only 41,000 miles would experience such a sudden complete shutdown. The underlying electrical, engine, or brake system failure that caused this power loss should be thoroughly investigated and repaired to prevent it from happening again.

Your car was subject to a recall for corrosion on the low-voltage (LV) battery terminal. When you scheduled the recall repair at a dealership, the dealer didn't have the necessary parts or tools in stock, causing a significant delay in getting the work completed. The repair took longer than expected because the dealer had to wait for parts to arrive.

When starting the vehicle in a narrow area, the reverse automatic braking will sometimes activate. This causes the anti-lock brake system to actuate while the car is backing up making a rapid clicking noise. After backing up approximately 6-8 feet, the vehicle will stall, the steering wheel will lock, and all warning dash lights such as "check engine" will be on. Air conditioning codes are triggered U0401 (confirmed - invalid data received from ECM/PCM "A"), and U0416 (Invalid Data Received from Vehicle Dynamics Control Module). Powering off the vehicle for a minute or two and starting the vehicle will return normal operation. This is a safety hazard if the car stalls when backing out from a driveway into a busy intersection. The car will also stall by locking the steering wheel and showing check engine and other errors on the dash, as well as activating the U0401 + U0416 codes when starting the vehicle (push button + brake), and then rapidly shifting out of park, and then using the accelerator. When this occurs, the hybrid system will not start, and the engine will not turn over. No power is transferred to the transmission.
