2013 Subaru XV CROSSTREK Wheels Problems, Complaints and Defects

Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	My 2013 subaru xv crosstrek was purchased brand new in september 2013. Within 65k miles i had to replace the cv joint on both front wheels (issue was indicated by a clicking sound from the wheel when turning right or left). Again, at around 120k miles i had to replace them both, and now, a third time at 182k miles. After doing much research this is a common issue on the xv crosstrek that is not related to driving conditions, road conditions, or due to physical damage to the part or vehicle. Each of the times the cv joint was replaced the boot was intact, which indicates that it is a faulty part or assembly rather than damage occurring to the wheel. Each of these repairs costs approximately $500 at the dealership (per wheel) and is not covered under warranty. The number of complaints regarding this should require subaru of america to voluntarily recall or repair this part free of charge. Additionally, if this part fails while the vehicle is in motion, severe transmission damage will result and an accident is likely. My experience with my first subaru has been nothing but expensive, and burdensome repairs to a car which is supposed to have the "lowest cost of ownership" as they advertise to consumers.
