Most common problems:

Dynamic brake support (dbs) system failure

The DBS system may malfunction or fail to engage properly, leading to reduced braking assistance in emergency situations.

Turbocharger issues

The turbocharger in the DIB engine can suffer from problems such as oil leaks, bearing failure, or compressor wheel damage, resulting in reduced performance.

Oil consumption

The 2019 Subaru WRX with a DIB engine might experience higher than normal oil consumption, which could necessitate frequent top-ups and may indicate underlying engine issues.

Head gasket failure

This problem can lead to coolant leaks, overheating, and a mixture of coolant and engine oil, potentially causing severe engine damage.

Cvt transmission problems

If the vehicle is equipped with a CVT, it may suffer from issues like shuddering, slipping, or complete transmission failure.

Connecting rod bearing failure

This can cause knocking noises from the engine and may lead to severe engine damage if not addressed promptly.

Fuel injector problems

Faulty fuel injectors can cause poor engine performance, misfires, and reduced fuel efficiency.

Timing chain tensioner failure

Failure of the timing chain tensioner can lead to a loose timing chain, resulting in engine misalignment and potential damage.

Valve spring failure

Weak or broken valve springs can cause valve timing issues, leading to poor engine performance and possible engine damage.
