Common Defects

Known Subaru Lemon Law Issues
in New York

Under NY General Business Law § 198-a, if your Subaru has been in for the same repair 4+ times — or been out of service 30+ days within the first 2 years or 18,000 miles — the manufacturer must buy it back or replace it. They pay our fees.

🛢️
Excessive Oil Consumption (FA20/EJ25)
The FA20 and EJ25 engines burn up to 1 quart per 1,200 miles. Subaru acknowledged the issue and extended coverage — owners who persist after extensions still qualify.
🔧
Head Gasket Failure (EJ25)
The EJ25 "boxer" engine has decades of documented head gasket failures. Coolant mixing with oil is a catastrophic defect. Second replacements within warranty are strong lemon cases.
📱
Starlink Infotainment Instability
Screen freezes, lost CarPlay and system resets on 2020–2024 Starlink. Frequent Subaru updates, inconsistent results.
💨
A/C Compressor Failure
Premature A/C compressor failure on Outback and Forester. Repeated compressor replacements within warranty qualify.
⚙️
Lineartronic CVT Issues
The CVT shudders and produces rattling noises on Outback and Legacy. Torque converter and CVT belt repairs that recur within warranty.
⚠️
EyeSight False AEB Activation
EyeSight automatic braking fires unexpectedly in normal driving — NHTSA complaints confirm the pattern. Safety system defects = strong lemon grounds.

⚖️ New York’s Lemon Law Is One of the Strongest in the Country

Under NY General Business Law § 198-a, a manufacturer is presumed to have had a reasonable number of repair attempts if either threshold is met within the first 2 years or 18,000 miles:

4 or more repair attempts for the same defect that continues to exist
30 or more cumulative days out of service for repairs

You are entitled to choose a full purchase price refund (including taxes and fees) or a comparable replacement vehicle. The manufacturer is required to pay your attorney fees and costs if you prevail — meaning our representation costs you nothing.
