SUBARU HAS ISSUED TWO RECALLS FOR THE SUBARU CROSSTREK 2013: BREAK LIGHTS AND ENGINE STALLS DUE TOMORROW VALVE CRACK. THESE ARE BOTH SAFETY RECALLS. I CONTACTED TWO SUBARU DEALERS FOR THE RECALL, AND IT'S BEEN A MONTH SINCE THEY'VE SAID THEY COULD TAKE MAY CAR. I CALLED TWICE MORE, AND THEY KEEP TELLING ME ANOTHER MONTH.

Reading this record

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.

Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
