2018 Subaru XV

Anyone had any recall work done with ignition coil or ecm update? I found na may recall pala ito for some models pero wala naman kami nakuha na notice

I checked in the engine bay and found one ignition coil has failed, most likely shorted?

i do not know.
but if car is still under warranty, i'd bring it to the dealer's pronto, for possible freebie repair/replacement of part.

Called Subaru, three daw yung recall na need gawin sa vehicle, pwede naman daw drive basta isang ignition coil lang ang failed. Will go there tomorrow. Need to leave the car there while they do the work for the ff recalls:

PCV Valve
Ignition Coil/ECU Update
Brake hose

Baka raw di pa nasend yung recall notice sa amin since madami raw recall, baka kaunti lang din staff dahil sa pandemic

when toyota had a silent recall some years back, i got a call from my casa.
i imagine, subaru has considerably less car owners to call than toyota...
heh heh.

good you're finally getting some attention.

Out of warranty na XV namin pero because of these recalls I will have the next oil change done at the casa na lang muna.

Now I have a new problem, the fuel pump seems to have failed. The car just died and would not start.

On a holiday, when Subaru Service is closed for a few days.

I have not seen any recall yet for the fuel pump for the XV locally but I have read that in other locations it is also affected by the same Denso Fuel pump issue of Honda/Toyota.

We are starting to regret getting the XV...

Did you get your XV fixed already?

Most minor issues I found on it are electrical like the HU that sometimes resets and the cruise control blinking. Otherwise it's been pretty ok. Granted it's the coding car so it very seldom goes out.

Yes, issue was resovled, ignition fuse and relay were replaced, a second ignition coil was showing error codes and was replaced as well. Car is seldom used but so far no problems after parts replacement.

Cause of the issue could not be identified however it is possible the failure of the previous ignition coil somehow affected the relay and other coil. Both coils replaced were on the same side.

Never had any issue with the HU after it was updated more than a year ago, Cruise Control have not had any problems either but usually driving on EDSA or Skyway barely could use this as speeds vary too much, only useful on the NAIA Expressway.

Due to the issues we were having I am thankful we could purchase the extended warranty for our peace of mind. Not cheap but potentially cheaper than a major part failure. Buti pa newer models have a longer warranty.

Glad things got sorted. Now drive it more to get the XWarranty's worth, sir.
