The contact owns a 2021 Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid. The contact stated that after moving the vehicle 10 feet from a pile of snow in cold weather, the vehicle restarted but failed to run and then shut off after 2 minutes. The contact changed the 12-Volt battery. Several unknown warning lights were illuminated, and the “Service 12-Volt Battery” message was displayed. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed, and it was determined that the inverter connector was corroded. The wires underneath the vehicle had been damaged due to water, salt, and sand, causing the vehicle to become inoperable. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was previously repaired under NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V0800000 (Electrical System). The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was contacted and offered partial claim assistance, but the owner declined. The failure mileage was approximately 125,000. The VIN was not available.

Is 1 complaints a lot? They were filed between 2026 and 2026, roughly 1 a year, which is fewer than the typical model in this dataset. We do not have sales figures for this model, so treat this as a rough volume, not a rate per car on the road. Popular, high-volume models naturally collect more complaints over time.
