Subaru Repair Buford, GA
Common Issues With Subaru Vehicles
Subaru is famous for head gasket failures on non-turbo 2.5L engines. CVT transmission issues and excessive oil consumption in newer models are also common concerns. Wheel bearings and suspension bushings (specifically lower control arm bushings) tend to wear out more frequently than in competitors. Owners also report electrical issues with infotainment systems and the EyeSight driver-assist sensors. Oil leaks from cam seals and oil coolers are recurring issues on high-mileage Boxer engines.
