Engine failure (rod knock) during commute home. Engine was found with lack of oil (3.5 qrt low) on ~15,000 miles engine block although performed routine maintenance DIY oil changes. Presumably high oil consumption on daily driving conditions
Stock fuel lines on the driver side of vehicle are having rubbing/clearance issues with the hood and are causing engine fires for the 2022+ Subaru BRZ/Toyota GR86 model vehicles.
I am not writing because of a vehicle failure. I'm contacting you because my daughter purchased this vehicle for my grandson, and we find the vehicle did not come with a spare tire. I called Subaru and told them I would like to purchase a spare and a wheel. I was informed by the dealership, and directly from Subaru, that they don't make a spare tire for the vehicle. They advised that Subaru found that the fuel economy was being sacrificed due to the weight of the tire, so they decide not to make one to fit this model. I know this is not the normal issue you deal with, but not having a spare tire or an option to purchase one, I believe is a huge safety issue. I have no other documentation. Thank you for your time. I would appreciate your help.
3 of 3 complaints, reproduced as filed.
No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
