Since new, maybe once a month, Cruise control idiot light comes on and flashes until car is turned off. usually no bother but one day it started braking without me and I bought the DUMB base model!!! before extended warranty expires, this august, hopefully dealer will replace wheel speed sensors on rear wheels. not sure if this will fix problem. I have asked them to check this six or seven times now. they tell me warranty may not cover it unless code is stored? hopefully they will stand behind product and fix it anyway. 2017 Impreza with 33000 miles and have done ALL recalls and maintenance!

I drive approx. 145 miles a day for work; normal highway driving. I bought my car 2.5 years ago and have just over 96,000 miles on it. In this time span I've had to replace two wheel bearings; 40,000 miles and 96,000 miles. This seems to me to be a high rate of wear on a fairly critical part.

  • 11,000 miles
On March 22, 2018, my 2017 Subaru Impreza sport wagon, with approximately 10,000 miles experienced a catastrophic failure of the rear suspension components traveling at 8 miles per hour. I was proceeding through a green light ' making a right. 3/4 of the way thru the turn I felt a violent jarring of my car on the left side and the driver's side curtain airbag slammed the left side of my upper body neck and head. I saw that my direction of travel did not change I started to pull off to the side of the road and apply the brakes. Had no brakes. A woman pulled over and she said " no one hit you, your wheel just fell off." Police came and helped me out of my car and completed an accident report. We noticed 1/2 of my wheel was in the intersection and a police officer recovered it for me. Mitchell Subaru inspected the vehicle submitted a claim with Subaru of America (soa) stating catastrophic failure of the rear suspension components. Soa then conducted their own investigation of the incident. The soa representatives wrongly concluded that I was involved in a 'high speed, rear collision with another vehicle'. they did not examine or remove any suspension components for further testing. Soa conclusions are completely inaccurate. The police officer is adamant that there was no other vehicle involved. Eyewitness on the scene stated that she watched the event unfold and that my wheel 'fell off'. the adjuster from my insurance company concluded that a 'massive failure of the right rear wheel / suspension caused the accident', 'no other vehicle was involved'. a factory trained Subaru technician with 20 years of experience stated that there was no damage that pointed to a collision and that the scuff marks noted by soa where caused by the rear tire slamming into the panel. Soa denies all responsibility for this devastating failure of their product.
