NHTSA complaint: 2016 SUBARU CROSSTREK — ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I have a 2016 Subaru Crosstrek. Unfortunately I have had a couple of issues. The main thing being the horn. The location of the problem is affecting my air bag, AND my rear window defroster. I donât know if Subaru has a faulty clockspring and relays, that malfunction after a certain amount of time. But for everyoneâs safety, it would seem that the Subaru Corporation would implement a recall. As a result of the horn not working, I was involved in a fender bender accident, I was unable to alert a driver that they were merging into my lane of traffic. Iâve searched mechanics and auto parts stores, the cost is exorbitant, especially for a senior on a fixed income. I donât know to whom these reports are or if they are forwarded, but I certainly hope someone in a decision making capacity will help the loyal owners of Subarus. I still, because I have no other option, drive, however I am so very cautious. And I limit my âoutingsâ to as few as possible. Itâs a hindrance, a rather very often at inopportune times. Hopefully there will be a chance for Subaru to do the correct thing.
