Most common problems:

Oil consumption

The 2012 Subaru Impreza is known to have issues with excessive oil consumption, which may require frequent top-offs and can lead to engine damage if not monitored.

Cvt transmission issues

Some owners report problems with the Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT), including jerking, hesitation, and in some cases, complete failure.

Head gasket failure

Subaru engines from this era, including the Impreza, are prone to head gasket leaks, which can result in coolant mixing with oil and cause engine overheating.

Suspension wear

Premature wear of suspension components such as struts and control arms can lead to a rough ride and poor handling.

Electrical system problems

Issues with electrical components, such as the battery, alternator, and wiring, can cause starting problems and other electrical failures.

Brake wear

Some owners report that the brake pads and rotors wear out faster than expected, leading to reduced braking performance.

Air conditioning problems

The air conditioning system may fail to cool properly, often due to compressor or refrigerant issues.
