TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 SUBARU XV CROSSTREK. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS OR WHEN ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL, BUT IT FAILED TO ENGAGE PROPERLY. ALL THE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT HAD TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF FOR THIRTY MINUTES TO ONE HOUR OR MORE IN ORDER TO RESUME NORMAL OPERATION. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V149000 (EXTERIOR LIGHTING) APPROXIMATELY ONE YEAR AGO. AT THAT TIME, THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DICK HANNAH SUBARU (7407 NE VANCOUVER PLAZA DR, VANCOUVER, WA 98662, (360) 605-1520) FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH WAS REPLACED OVER EIGHT TIMES BY TWO DIFFERENT DEALERS, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,000.

I WAS DRIVING ON A 2 LANE HIGHWAY GOING 55MPH. MY KNEE BUMPED THE STEERING COLUMN AND AT THAT MOMENT THE DASH WENT BLANK, I LOST POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER ONTO THE SHOULDER BEFORE THE STEERING LOCKED UP. I HAD NO IDEA WHAT HAD JUST HAPPENED. AFTER AWHILE I DISCOVERED THE CAR WOULD RESTART AND DROVE THE REMAINING 20 MILES HOME WITH NO PROBLEM. IT WASN'T UNTIL I CALLED THE DEALER THE NEXT DAY AND LOOKED ONLINE THAT I REALIZED WHAT HAD HAPPENED. I'M SHORT , 5'1' AND HAD THE STEERING COLUMN AT THE LOWEST POSITION AND THE SEAT FORWARD. I'VE MOVED THE COLUMN TO THE NEXT SETTING HIGHER AND BELIEVE THIS PROBLEM IS NOW UNLIKELY TO RECUR. THE LOWEST COLUMN POSITION SHOULD BE ELIMINATED . DANGEROUS!!

SOMETIMES WHEN PUSHING THE BRAKE PEDAL THE ABS LIGHT COMES ON AND WILL NOT ALLOW THE CAR TO SHIFT FROM PARK. OTHER TIMES MAY COME ON WHILE DRIVING. THE CAR ONLY HAS 25K MILES ON IT. I DON'T WANT TO DRIVE ANYWHERE AND GET STUCK THERE NOR DO I NEED A BRAKE PROBLEM IN SNOW AS I LIVE IN NEW YORK STATE. AFTER READING ONLINE IT SEEMS TO BE NOT AN UNCOMMON ISSUE BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. AFTER SHUTTING THE CAR ON AND OFF MULTIPLE TIMES THE ABS LIGHT GOES OUT AND THE CAR IS THEN ABLE TO SHIFT. AGAIN I DON'T NEED TO WORRY ABOUT MY PERSONAL SAFETY OR SAFETY OF THE PASSENGERS IN MY CAR.

AT 37,801 MILES, THE BRAKE SWITCH COMPONENT FAILED ON MY 2015 SUBARU XV CROSSTREK. THE HILL ASSIST, ABS, AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS ALL CAME ON. WHEN I PARKED THE VEHICLE AND SHUT IT OFF, IT REFUSED TO COME OUT OF PARK, LEAVING THE VEHICLE STRANDED. THIS APPEARS TO BE A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS PART, HOWEVER, THERE IS NO RECALL AT THIS TIME.

THE BRAKE SWITCH FAILED CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO BE STUCK IN PARK. SUBARU HAS A RECALL ON THE BRAKE SWITCH, BUT MY CAR IS NOT COVERED UNDER THAT RECALL. RECALL 15V366000. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH SUBARU AND THE DEFECT SHOULD BE COVERED.

ON MONDAY 09/05/2016 IN GETTYSBURG, PA ON A FLAT SURFACE THE ABS WARNING LIGHT, HILL ASSISTANCE WARNING LIGHT, AND VEHICLE DYNAMICS CONTROL INDICATOR LIGHT FLASHED ON MY SCREEN. I PULLED OVER AND TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE TO READ THE MANUAL REGARDING THE WARNINGS AS INDICATED ON THE MESSAGE I RECEIVED. WHEN I RESTARTED THE VEHICLE ALL THE WARNING INDICATOR LIGHTS DISAPPEARED. ON 09/07/2016 THE SAME WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES APPEARED. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO WHERE WE PURCHASED IT USED AND THEY ADVISED THEY WILL CONTACT ME. I ALSO STOPPED AT THE LOCAL SUBARU DEALER AND INFORMED THEM OF MY CONCERNS. THEY ADVISED IT COULD BE THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH BUT UNSURE WITHOUT RUNNING THE DIAGNOSTICS TEST. THEY ALSO ADVISED ANOTHER CROSSTREK CAME IN WITH THE SAME ISSUE AND THE CONSUMER WAS UNABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE OUT OF PARK. SO FAR I HAVEN'T HAD ANY FURTHER ISSUES BUT I AM CONCERNED MY BRAKES MAY FAIL CAUSING AN ACCIDENT.
