r/Subaru_Crosstrek

Took my car into my local EO. Have been there before with zero issues. They drained the transmission instead of my oil and overfilled the oil. Fast forward a month of them having the car. They first ordered the wrong transmission and then finally installed a new one. I drove 10 miles down the highway and complete failure. I got it towed to the local Subaru dealer and they are fixing it. EO says they will pay for it but I retained a lawyer just in case they refuse. Just a friendly heads up and I will be changing my own oil from now on.

If I see a crosstrek I try to park next to it like yo fam!! Today I came back to my car and 2 others did the same. SSup fam ❤️🧡🤍

Last time I filled it it was wrong also, it said like 230 miles to empty, and now I just filled again and it says this.

Shortly after purchasing a 2018 Crosstrek, the clips holding my rear bumper came off causing the bumper flap to catch under my tire causing some tearing to my bumper. It looks like replacing the bumper with a painted bumper is way out of my price range. I checked local dump yards and am not having any luck. Ebay wants to charge insane shipping fees. So, I am trying to find out if I can purchase a bumper that will not require any paint, and install it myself with some YouTube DIY guidance. I am 100% unexpierenced but open to learning. Will an unpainted bumper look stupid? I did a bunch of research but quickly felt like I was in over my head a bit. There isn't a ton of damage. Wondering if anyone can give me your thoughts on what you would do to keep the cost down but get it fixed. I am willing to spend some $ to get it back in good shape but want it to be reasonable. Attaching pics of the damage. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Does this look like a decent deal? Never bought a Subaru before and have been interest in a crosstrek or Mazda cx-5

Hi all, I have a ‘22 Crosstrek limited. I was given this estimate and was wondering if this was the typical price. I can only do the air filters myself so that would bring it down to $763.15.

... Thought the check engine light was supposed to come on.

I have a 2018 Subaru Crosstrek with the forbidden milk shake. Oil mixing with coolant. Below I’ll attach a photo of my coolant and another of the oil. Dealership states it’s the head gaskets. I know it’s common in older models but wanted to see what else could potentially be the issue. I know I’ve seen other possibilities other than head gaskets causing the mixing of coolant and oil. Just curious to hear other options and things to look at before diving in.

I have the intake and wiring harness pretty much out of the way ready to pull the engine.

Dealer has noted that my 2016 Crosstrek needs control arm bushings replaced for "splitting". Mix of photos here from them and also from when I went under the car to take photos. What I see is stress cracking on the exterior of the bushings.

How serious is this issue? Worst case scenario, if the bushing were to completely split, would I lose control of the vehicle?
