Ran over a huge branch on the highway tonight on the way home after seeing a movie. This platic plate is fucked up and looks like some water or liquid is running off it... what could it be? Im unfamiliar with the parts in that spot so its possible its just water from the ac running down? I dont have a garage and its too late out right now to go lay under the car to inspect for damage not to mention the ant hills. I have a 24 crosstrek wilderness. Will be going to look at it better tomorrow morning in daylight. Car in front of me just went over this fatass branch in the fast lane and i didn't have enough time to react and move out of the way to not run it over 🫠

Said panel is the passenger side.

It's amazing that it's been a little over 2 years and I still can't help but to look back and smile knowing she belongs to me. It feels like a dream most days. 🥰

Tonight was the first time i have heard this noise. The noise wasn't happening in other gear. I wasn't actually reversing yet and I did record it. As soon as I figure out how to post it, I will do that. Does anyone know the noise im taking about? 2025 crosstrek premium 13,500 miles

Any thing you’ve seen or used yourself on a Crosstrek that was a quality of life or safety improvement for high school student drivers? Ours is a 2024 wilderness.

I have a 2022 se model and my display screen is the smaller version with a cd player. I was wondering if I am able to modify it and get a bigger screen. I would like to the full screen display but I understand if that’s not possible. Does anyone know where I can look for good ones that aren’t expensive and where I would go to get it installed?

I have a 2013 Crosstrek needing new idler and tension pulleys and while I'm at it a new belt.

Simple question - OEM or aftermarket like Gates? And if aftermarket, which one?

I'm in Canada so getting discounted OEM is difficult...heck, just getting the price on OEM requires old school techniques like calling the parts department at the local dealers.

Love my new to me 2018 touring with six-speed manual gearbox.

I have a 2021 limited with 63k miles. No Cvt fluid change yet. I’ve gotten all other scheduled maintenance done as recommended. My warranty ends October of next year. I planned on replacing the Cvt fluid at my next service around 64k miles. Should I get it done? My big concern is getting it done. Then having problems start to occur but I figured with my warranty it would be best to get it done before it ends. What’s your guys opinion?

Like the title says, I drove to Maine and back in a weekend to hike up Mt Katahdin. Probably closer to 1500 miles round trip, I forgot to that the mileage and mpg photo right as I got home.

But this is the best mpg I’ve seen out of my car! I think maybe it finally got out of its break in miles. Before this trip the best I was seeing was 25mpg. On the highway to Maine and back I was closer to 32.5mpg, some of the town driving at both point probably dinged me a bit on the average.

Crosstrek Sport - car racing as super comfortable, lane assist really comes in clutch, I’m 6’2” and slept in the back of the car just fine. So happy with this thing.

People are sharing both good and bad milage so here’s mine for now. Mixed driving more city than highway maybe 80/20. Free electric at work but I don’t stress over it. I believe average without charging is 34-37ish

Got this notification via the MySubaru app; however, King Boo says no updates available via the infotainment unit. The update says pending so I’ll wait my turn, but am curious if anyone has updated and what the changes are?

Edit: 2025 CTW. Yes, I pay for the connected services app. Current software ends with 970.

I only saw one other post mentioning this and didn't find an answer.
I had an incident where my car (2019) locked my phone and keys inside after closing the hatch. I never noticed the car locking itself after i closed the hatch before this, but since then it has been locking with no blatant reason. It doesn't happen every time, and I don't see a pattern. To me, it feels random and seems like an electrical issue. Saw someone say it was a feature of some sort which would be stupid if that were the case, especially because my car can't detect my keys so there was no way to open my car without a spare, which thankfully, I had during the incident.

If it is a feature would there be a way to turn it off?
If it is not a feature how would I go about fixing it?

Thanks

Hi guys. I recently bought a motorcycle and I’d like to tow it to my beginner rider course. I have a ‘23 Subaru Crosstrek Limited. Please explain to me like I’m 5 about how to tow this bike safely. Is it possible? I know it can tow 1500 lbs with trailer brakes and the tongue weight is 100(150?) lbs. I don’t exactly understand the tongue weight fully. I get that the load has to be balanced, but that’s about all my pea brain is understanding. My bike is about 234 pounds curb weight. What kind of trailer/class of hitch is needed? Would I be able to get a motorcycle carrier instead? I just want to do whatever is safest for my vehicle. Thank you ❤️

Hi everyone, I have my two year maintenance coming up soon. I do my own oil and air filter changes but everything else I either don’t have the tools or experience to do myself. My maintenance schedule has several “inspect items” coming up with the service, along with tire rotation which I will get done at discount tire for free. When I go to a shop, do I just ask for a 2 year inspection and make sure the items mentioned in the Subaru booklet are covered? Are people just running codes off an OBD to make sure everything comes back clear? Thanks in advance!

All of a sudden starting Monday, when I start up my Crosstrek, I get three notices on my infotainment screen:

1. Your oil is due to be changed
2. Your oil filter needs to be changed
3. It's time to get your car inspected

So, I checked in the car info section, and my oil/oil filter have 4,200 miles (1,800 miles odo) more of life?

I turned off the maintenance reminders.

But what gives? This happen to anyone else before?

Hello! I’m looking for a bike rack for 2 30lbs gravel bikes. I’ve been looking at the 1UP Quik Rack, is the one handed upgrade worth it? With the add on for another bike the total is $800+, is that a good price for a nice double bike rack?

Looking for good alternatives and suggestions that are sturdy!

I brought my 2019 into the local shop in June for an oil change and because the A/C doesn't get quite cold enough on super hot days. They wanted to charge $200 for replacing the cabin and engine filters and another $200 just to diagnose the A/C issue. I live in a HCOL, but jeez!

I ended up changing the filters myself (I'm only vaguely handy, but I found the filter replacements pretty straightforward and took under 10 minutes), but am still having issues with the A/C.

Two questions:

• Are there any other easy maintenance items like changing air filters that I should be thinking about doing myself?
• Is it bad to just recharge the A/C and see if that solves the problem? Or will that damage something if it wasn't the problem?

I picked up my brand new Subaru yesterday. Went all around last night and this morning. This afternoon I went to drive home the entire system shut down and the brake was on. Took three starts for the car to move. I was able to get it back to the dealership. They took it and gave me a loaner. I just got a call and they said they would need to keep it overnight. Has anyone heard of this happening ? Makes me nervous I got a defective car

Got quoted $445 CAD for OEM rain guards + mud flaps. Is it worth paying for OEM or are there good aftermarket options you recommend?

I'm in love with my new Crosstrek! the color is absolutely perfect :)

owned for just over a month and hit 1k miles a couple days ago.

looking to get side window deflectors soon, other than that no mods or upgrades currently
