The February 24, 2026 failure produced smoke while parked among other vehicles and trees. A tow truck operator disconnected the pump to prevent a potential fire. Dealer did not replace relay alongside the pump, inconsistent with WTM-73 as revised by WTM-73R (July 11, 2017). The relay subsequently failed, requiring a separate visit. Components are unavailable for inspection.  The problems were confirmed and repaired by an authorized Subaru dealership in Sterling, VA. Service records document both failures. For the February 2026 repair, the dealership mistakenly concluded the repair was under warranty and completed it as such - then later tried to backtrack and make me pay. The March 2026 return visit confirmed blown fuses and a failed relay due to incomplete initial repair, which the dealership also made me pay, but later reimbursed me after I referenced the revised recall notice.

The CVT has started making a loud whining noise while driving. A licensed, independent repair shop diagnosed this as a likely early sign of internal CVT failure, advising that failure is imminent without repair or replacement. After researching the issue, I discovered that Subaru issued an extended warranty (WQA-86) specifically covering this known CVT defect. However, I was never notified of this extension or any service campaign. I learned about it only after experiencing symptoms and conducting my own research. By that time, the extended warranty had expired in February 2024 , only a few months before I began experiencing problems, despite my vehicle being well under the mileage limit for coverage. I maintain a  service history with full documentation from licensed repair facilities. I submitted a goodwill assistance request to Subaru to cover the inspection and repair or replacement of the CVT based on this known defect and the professional assessment from my mechanic. Subaru denied the request solely because the extended warranty had expired by time, despite the fact that: I was never notified of the warranty extension or technical service bulletin (TSB). The issue is well documented and acknowledged by Subaru. My vehicle is still under the mileage limit. A qualified mechanic has confirmed early signs of failure. This is a serious safety concern, as CVT failure can lead to sudden loss of power or acceleration while driving. Subaru should be held accountable for notifying all affected owners about extended coverage related to known defects. I am requesting that Subaru be required to provide goodwill coverage or cost assistance for this repair, as the failure is directly related to a known manufacturer defect and the lack of notification prevented me from taking timely action.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2014","productMake":"SUBARU","productModel":"IMPREZA","manufacturer":"Subaru of America, Inc."}]},{"odiNumber":11677019,"manufacturer":"Subaru of America, Inc.","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"07/22/2025","dateComplaintFiled":"07/29/2025","vin":"","components":"SEAT BELTS","summary":"The contact owns a 2014 Subaru Impreza.

I purchased my 2014 Subaru on December 13th, 2013.  My car has 57,000 miles on it. It has loss of acceleration when entering a freeway. I push on the gas pedal harder and harder to try to get my car to obtain 60 mph. The car does not respond until minutes go by.  The CVT transmission was replaced in June 2022.  The car has not performed any better after the transmission replacement.  I am the  original owner of my car.  Initially, my car performed very well, quick response to acceleration for the first 35-40 thousand miles. Then, it began to have lack of acceleration. The transmission was replaced by Subaru of America in June 2022 at around 48,000 miles. I brought my car to Elk Grove Subaru approximately 4 times since the transmission was replaced, each time I paid for their hourly diagnostic fee; between $165.00 to $195.00.  Each time the service advisor said they found nothing wrong with my car. I took my car to two independent mechanics (One of them is a transmission repair shop) they each stated in writing that my transmission is slipping and has loss of power.

I do not want to be a statistic in an accident on the freeway due to the lack of power trying to obtain speed while entering freeway and trying to keep my vehicle speed at a speed of barely 60 mph.

Many Subaru owners believe there needs to be an actual recall on their Subaru CVT transmissions.   I do not feel safe driving my car.

My car began to decelerate rapidly, and I lost all ability to accelerate or even put my car in park.

The event was extremely traumatic, and I have nightmares about losing control of my vehicle on that interstate with cars whizzing past me. I was stranded in a very remote area, barely making it onto the shoulder of the interstate, over an hour from my home and in a different state.

Despite NHTSA safety bulletins about known transmission fluid seepage issues in the 2014 Impreza, Subaru is trying to skirt responsibility for the known defect, and instead, they are claiming that it is the fault of a reputable independent mechanic stating that they *suspect* that since it was 3 quarts low because the independent shop did something wrong.

I drove it the first time long distance (Concord NH to Stoughton MA) with a passenger for the first time three days after purchase. The passenger air bag is off light came on and would not register my passenger. It worked on and off the entire ride, starting with it working and then would shut off, on the highway, while my passenger never moved from the seat. I called the dealership and they said they would look at it. They did nothing, they blamed it on the seats having been steam cleaned (that dampness messes with the sensors? as if that's a reasonable reason my airbag won't deploy?) I asked if they checked the connections and they just blanket answered that they'd need to see it with the light on, and that 'i'm sure the technician checked everything'. I'm unsure how to do that other than driving to the dealership with a passenger the next time it happened? Today I drove it, again with a passenger, and it worked only one way on the trip. I pulled over, tried to shut off the car and turn it back on, had my passenger get out and back in the vehicle, nothing would fix the light being on and the airbag indicator saying that the airbag was off. I'm extremely concerned and honestly don't understand why any vehicle would have a sensor that SHUTS OFF the airbag. There is already a recall for this issue in Suburu Foresters, years 2015-2018 I believe. I would also very much like this resolved in my model, it is extremely unsafe and I'd prefer not driving it at all but have no choice right now. I would be happy to have this inspected by someone. The internet suggested loose connections, or a faulty seatbelt, or the sensor itself which is connected to the passengers seat. This component has only been inspected by Ed Reilly Suburu on Manchester St., in Concord NH and they did not fix it.

WE HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE INTO ULTIMATE SUBARU OF FREDERICKSBURG, VA AND TO CREWS SUBARU NORTH CHARLESTON SC ABOUT THIS PROBLEM ON JULY 6 2017. I WAS INFORMED THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO SINCE THE LIGHT DOESN'T STAY ON. THEY ALSO COULDN'T TELL ME IF THE CAR WAS SAFE TO DRIVE WITH SOMEONE RIDING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT WITH THE WARNING LIGHTS ON.   THE TECHS AT CREW SUBARU NORTH CHARLESTON SC TOLD ME TO MAKE A VIDEO AND TO SEND IT TO SUBARU CORPORATE, NHTSA AND IIHS. MY RESEARCH ONLINE SHOWS THAT SUBARU HAD A RECALL ON THEIR 2012 IMPREZA RECALL #WQT-55, . THE FIX WAS TO REPLACE THE SEAT SENOR. SINCE WE HAVE CONTACTED TWO DEALERS ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. WE HAVE REPORTED THIS TO INSURANCE INSTITUTE FOR HIGHWAY SAFETY (IIHS) ON APRIL 20, 2017. TODAY I CONTACTED SUBARU CORPORATE CASE # 1-24758084454 I SPOKE WITH KIYA AT CUSTOMER SERVICE THIS MORNING JULY 10, 2017 SHE IS THE ONE PERSON WHOM STATED THAT IF THE WARNING LIGHTS ARE ON THEN THE AIR BAGS WOULD NOT WORK.

THE WEEK OF FEBRUARY 17TH  THIS WAS THE MOMENT I KNEW I WASN'T IMAGINING THINGS,  MY FIRST MOMENT OF COMPLETE PANIC AS MY BRAND NEW CAR UNINTENDED ACCELERATED TOWARD MY GARAGE. I HAD JUST DROPPED OFF MY CHILD AND A NEIGHBORS CHILD AT SCHOOL. WE CARPOOL TO HELP EACH OTHER OUT. I APPLIED AS MUCH PRESSURE I COULD TO BRAKE THAT CAR. I KNEW AT THIS MOMENT IT WASN'T ME AND THAT I SHOULD HAVE TAKEN MORE NOTICE AND ACTION IN JANUARY.   MARCH 7TH  IT WAS JUST ANOTHER TYPICAL DAY OF DRIVING MY AND MY NEIGHBORS' CHILDREN  TO AND FROM SCHOOL. WE HAD MY SON'S FRIEND IN THE CAR, BOTH ARE ONLY 9/8 YEARS OF AGE, MY DAUGHTER, 11, HAD HER FRIEND IN THE CAR. WE WENT FROM THE LIBRARY DROPPED OFF MY SON'S FRIEND AND PROCEEDED HOME. WE WERE ALL LAUGHING AND HAVING A GOOD TIME AS WE PULLED IN TO THE  DRIVEWAY. ALL OF SUDDEN THE CAR HAD AN UNINTENDED ACCELERATED MOMENT AND RACED TOWARD THE GARAGE. ONCE THE VEHICLE FINALLY STOPPED THERE, WAS COMPLETE DEAD SILENCE. SKID MARKS ON MY DRIVEWAY. I IMMEDIATELY WENT IN TO CALL THE DEALERSHIP TO INFORM AND FIND OUT WHAT TO DO.  MARCH 14TH  LOADED 2 DOGS IN TO THE CAR TO GO TO THE PARK. AS WE BACKED OUT I SAW THE OTHER TWO AND DECIDED IT WOULD BE A FAMILY AFFAIR. WE HAVE 4 LABRADORS. SO AS I PULLED BACK IN TO THE DRIVEWAY AND AS WE (THE DOGS AND I) PULLED IN, THE CAR AGAIN ACCELERATED TOWARDS THE GARAGE. AT THIS POINT I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN AND SAID THAT IT HAS HAPPENED AGAIN. STILL THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG AND EVEN CAME AND DROVE IT AT MY HOUSE WITH THE CAR COMPUTER ATTACHED TO A LAPTOP. WE DROVE IN AND OUT OF OUR DRIVEWAY 2 TIMES.   *TR","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2014","productMake":"SUBARU","productModel":"IMPREZA","manufacturer":"Subaru of America, Inc."}]}]}
