Subaru Lemon Law Cases in Tennessee

How Tennessee Lemon Law (§ 55-24-101) applies to Subaru — Outback, Forester, Crosstrek. CVT, head gasket, oil consumption.

Subaru has Tennessee market presence — particularly in east TN (mountain regions) and Knoxville. Tennessee Lemon Law (§ 55-24-101) applies fully.

Common Subaru defect patterns

  • Lineartronic CVT — Outback, Forester, Crosstrek, Impreza, Legacy, WRX, Ascent. Shuddering, slipping, premature failure.
  • EJ25 head gasket — older Outback, Forester, Legacy. External + internal failures.
  • FB25 / FB20 oil consumption — Outback, Forester, Impreza. Class action settled.
  • EyeSight ADAS — calibration drift, false-positive emergency braking.
  • Starlink infotainment — touchscreen, USB / CarPlay issues.
  • Ascent third-row — minor child-seat / latch issues.
  • Solterra (EV) — range, charging speed issues.
  • WRX / STI — track-use complaints (clutch, transmission).

Subaru distribution in Tennessee

Tennessee is part of Subaru of America’s direct distribution (not Subaru of New England territory). The Lemon Law defendant is Subaru of America (SOA).

Subaru IDS / BBB Auto Line

Subaru uses BBB Auto Line as certified IDS. TN consumers must:

  • File BBB Auto Line first (§ 55-24-106).
  • Then court action if denied.

TCPA in Subaru cases

  • Oil consumption disclosure — class-action history.
  • CVT failure rate — disclosure issues.
  • EyeSight efficacy claims.

Bottom line

Subaru is fully covered under Tennessee Lemon Law. East TN mountain market makes Outback / Forester common. CVT and head-gasket cases are common.
