Subaru Complaints

13,784 complaints across 83 models. 639 crash reports.

Owners have filed 13,784 complaints with NHTSA against 9 Subaru models in our index, covering model years 2015 to 2025. 639 of those reports describe a crash.

The problem areas owners report most often across Subaru vehicles are visibility (3,927), electrical (2,762) and other (2,106). A high count on a widely sold model is not by itself evidence of a defect — complaints scale with how many cars are on the road, and NHTSA publishes them unverified, as filed.

The most-reported single model year here is the 2019 Subaru Outback, with 1,030 complaints, 23 of them citing a crash. Open any model year below for the individual reports and the components involved.
