Are you driving a Subaru that’s constantly breaking down? Has your dream car turned into a nightmare of repair shop visits?
What started as excitement over your new Subaru has turned into an ongoing nightmare of breakdowns, repairs, and frustration.
That vehicle you trusted to safely transport you and your family now betrays you regularly, leaving you stranded when you need transportation most.
Every California driver deserves a reliable vehicle, not one that becomes a permanent fixture at the repair shop.
The painful reality of owning a defective Subaru extends far beyond the mechanical issues.
You invested in Subaru’s reputation for dependability, but instead received a vehicle that undermines every aspect of your daily life.
Constant breakdowns create genuine anxiety about your safety on California highways.
The financial strain accumulates with each repair visit, even for issues supposedly covered under warranty.
Your professional reputation suffers from missed meetings and appointments due to unexpected vehicle failures.
Perhaps worst of all is the countless hours wasted at dealership service departments – time you can never recover – as technicians attempt the same repairs that failed to fix the problems before.
Consumer Action Law Group understands this frustration and fights for Subaru owners throughout California who are trapped with defective vehicles that manufacturers refuse to properly repair.
Common Subaru Defects
Subaru models like the Outback, Forester, Impreza, Legacy, WRX, and Tribeca can develop serious problems that transform them from trusted vehicles into dangerous liabilities.
Head Gasket Failures
Head gasket failures in Subaru vehicles can lead to complete engine damage if not addressed immediately.
The repair process often requires extensive engine disassembly, leaving you without transportation for extended periods.
Even after repairs, many owners report the same issues recurring, indicating a deeper design flaw rather than an isolated incident.
The cost of these repairs outside of warranty can exceed thousands of dollars, creating severe financial hardship.
Excessive Oil Consumption
Many Subaru owners report their vehicles consuming oil at alarming rates, requiring constant monitoring and top-offs.
This excessive consumption often indicates serious internal engine problems that can lead to catastrophic failure.
The manufacturer frequently dismisses these concerns as “normal,” despite the clear danger of potential engine seizure.
Driving a vehicle with these issues creates a constant risk of being stranded in potentially dangerous situations.
Fuel Pump Failure
Sudden fuel pump failures in Subaru vehicles can cause immediate engine stalling, creating serious safety hazards when driving at highway speeds.
These failures often occur without warning, leaving drivers with no opportunity to safely navigate to the roadside.
Repeated fuel pump replacements indicate a systematic defect rather than a one-off part failure.
The unexpected nature of this defect creates constant anxiety about when the next failure might occur.
Electrical Issues
Complex electrical problems in modern Subaru models can affect everything from essential safety features to basic operation.
Dashboard warning lights frequently illuminate for no apparent reason, creating confusion about the vehicle’s actual condition.
Entertainment systems and connectivity features fail regularly, eliminating functions you paid premium prices to enjoy.
Even after multiple repair attempts, these issues often return, indicating the root cause remains unaddressed.
Inner Joint Boots and Transmission Problems
Premature failure of inner joint boots leads to dangerous handling characteristics and excessive repair costs.
Transmission issues create jerking, slipping, or hard shifting that makes daily driving uncomfortable and potentially hazardous.
These problems typically worsen over time, eventually leading to complete transmission failure.
The persistent nature of these defects demonstrates potential design flaws that simple repairs cannot resolve.
How Car Manufacturers Fight Against Your Rights
When dealing with Subaru about ongoing vehicle problems, you face a system designed to protect their interests, not yours.
Dealership staff are trained to dismiss serious defects as normal “operating characteristics,” while warranty documents contain deliberately complex language to limit Subaru’s financial responsibility.
Service departments typically perform superficial repairs that mask symptoms temporarily without fixing underlying issues—a strategy often continued until your warranty expires, shifting all repair costs to you.
When challenged, manufacturers commonly blame your driving habits rather than acknowledging their defects, or pressure you to accept inadequate repairs they know won’t last.
Most frustrating are the customer service representatives who use technical jargon to confuse you about your rights under California’s lemon law, while denying widespread problems that their own internal service bulletins confirm.
This system works exactly as intended: to exhaust your patience until you simply give up your valid claim.
