XV Crosstrek

  • miles
When I start my car or randomly while I am driving the warning lights for my automatic braking system, traction control, and hill assist turn on. When this happens, my gear shifter locks up and when I press the brakes the rear lights don't illuminate while these warning lights are active. I have an automatic transmission. The warning lights activate randomly, whether I'm stationary or in motions, regardless of setting.

XV Crosstrek

While driving on the highway the check engine and traction control lights came on. I have a diagnostic code reader which sent the details to my phone dtc P1449 evap system clog detected (air filter). I called my mechanic who said it would be safe to drive home...while driving home in the rain I lost control of the vehicle and went off the road. Luckily no one was hurt. When I got home, my mechanic said it was a faulty purge valve which would normally be a simple fix but the issue was well known with the vehicle and was now a superseded part. The cost would quadruple because the check assembly was completely redesigned and several parts needed to be replaced. If this was such a known issue, which required a redesign of the system, why isnt it on recall!!! especially, if the computer takes away the vehicle's safety features like traction control. Come on Subaru. I expect better quality and service! NHTSA please escalate these matters.
