| Description of the problem | Subaru xv crosstrek axle failure i bought my 2014 subaru xv crosstrek in jan 2014. At 50k heard a clicking sound in the frontend. Took it to the dealer and they diagnosed a broken driver side axle. In july 2019 (at approximately 80k on the odometer) i heard a similar clicking sound coming from the front of the car when turning. I took it to the dealer for a brake light switch recall. They inspected the vehicle and this time it was my right axle that had to be replaced. I have researched the issue on the internet and have learned that many other crosstrek owners have experienced similar axle failures and replacements. Sounds like the axles are defective and possibly a safety issue. |
