Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)The steering wheel goes to the left so if you take your hands off the wheel for one second it just totally goes to the left. I’m afraid I might get into an accident I’m having it looked at by a Subaru dealer in tomorrow which is February 14th. It’s been doing this for about a year. It didn’t start out as bad as it is now and there were no warning lights that came on. I read on the Internet many other people with the same make & model but the year varies of 2015 cross treks have had this problem and there has been no recalls. I did get a recall in the mail, but it’s a recall that is optional that the power steering box could crack.
WHEN I GO TO PARK AND TURN OFF THE KEY IT LOCKS HALF WAY AND WON'T COME OUT. HAVE TO REVERSE AND PULL FORWARD SOMETIMES SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE IT WILL TURN COMPLETELY OFF. SUBARU HAS A TECHNICAL SERVICE DATE: 03/15/18 16-112-18R REVISED BULLETIN ABOUT AN ISSUE WITH THE "SHIFT SELECTER MECHANISM." SUBARU IS AWARE OF THE PERSISTENT PROBLEM, BUT HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL.
DURING THE MORNING AND SOMETIMES IN THE AFTERNOON AS I START THE VEHICLE THE STEERING LIGHT COMES ON AND THE VEHICLE IS NOT ABLE TO BE STEERED. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES AND I BROUGHT IT TO THE SUBARU DEALERSHIP BECAUSE THE VEHICLE IS STILL UNDER MANUFACTURES WARRANTY. LAST WEEK THE DEALERSHIP CALLED AND STATED IT WAS REPAIRED, I HAVE ALL THE RECORDS. AS MY PREGNANT WIFE AND I GOT INTO THE VEHICLE I STARTED THE CAR TO LEAVE AND THE STEERING LIGHT WAS ON AGAIN, AND I COULD NOT STEER THE VEHICLE. I AM NOW VERY AFRAID THIS WILL HAPPEN WHILE I AM DRIVING. I HAVE NOT CONFIDENCE IN THE CAR AND THE DEALERSHIPS ABILITY TO FIX THE ISSUE AND THE VEHICLE SITS AT THE SUBARU DEALERSHIP IN ROSEVILLE CA CURRENTLY. ON ALL OCCASIONS THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, BUT THERE ARE INCIDENTS WHERE OTHER SUBARU DRIVES HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE MANY RECORDS THAT CAN BE REVIEWED.
