Subaru Lemon Law Claims in Washington, D.C.

Subaru’s all-wheel drive makes it popular with D.C.-area commuters who venture to nearby mountains and shore — Outback, Forester, and Crosstrek are common. Their lemon-law claims tend to involve engines, CVTs, and electronics.

Common Subaru defect patterns

• Excessive oil consumption — a long-standing Subaru engine complaint on certain boxer engines.
• Transmission — CVT shudder, hesitation, and failure.
• Electrical — battery drain and sensor faults.
• EyeSight driver-assist — ADAS faults (safety-related — a single failed repair can qualify).
• Engine — head-gasket issues on older designs.

How to build a Subaru claim

1. Document the substantial impairment (§ 50-501) — for oil consumption, keep consumption-test records; for EyeSight faults, flag the safety aspect.
2. Meet the presumption — one safety attempt, four general, or 30 days — and report within 18,000 miles / two years.
3. File with the Board of Consumer Claims Arbitration.
