Subaru Cases Under New Mexico Lemon Law

Subaru has a strong New Mexico presence in the high-country / outdoor-recreation market — Santa Fe, Taos, and the northern mountains. Outback, Forester, Crosstrek, and Ascent are common. Cases are pursued under the Motor Vehicle Quality Assurance Act, the UPA, and Magnuson-Moss.

Common Subaru defect patterns

• Boxer engine oil consumption (FB20/FB25) — long-standing pattern with class-action history.
• CVT failures — Outback, Forester, Legacy, Ascent.
• EyeSight system defects — false braking, calibration drift.
• Ascent / Outback transmission issues.
• WRX / STI clutch and ringland failures.
• Solterra EV — wheel-loss recall (early build), charging, range issues (heat-relevant).
• Starlink infotainment crashes.

New Mexico Subaru market

• Outback / Crosstrek dominant in Santa Fe, Taos, and the high country.
• Forester / Ascent family segment.
• AWD demand is strong for mountain and winter driving.

Heat and altitude factors

• Boxer oil consumption can worsen with short trips and cold high-altitude starts.
• Solterra range/efficiency below expectation in heat and at altitude.
• EyeSight calibration drift on dusty rural roads.

UPA willful leverage

Boxer oil-consumption class-action history, CVT TSBs, and EyeSight calibration bulletins provide manufacturer-knowledge evidence for UPA treble + mandatory fees.
