Engine Oil Consumption

Some 2024 WRX models exhibit higher than expected engine oil consumption, requiring frequent top-offs. This has been reported as 'normal' by some dealerships, but warrants close monitoring to prevent potential long-term engine damage. Estimated repair cost: $50 - $200 (for oil top-offs).

Forward Collision Avoidance System Issues

Complaints include both excessive warnings and issues with the adaptive cruise control function of the Forward Collision Avoidance system. These can be distracting and potentially lead to unexpected braking. Estimated repair cost: $150 - $500.

Infotainment System Distractions

A significant number of complaints relate to the infotainment system displaying full-screen advertisements, particularly Sirius XM, while driving. This poses a considerable distraction risk. Estimated repair cost: $0 - $300.

Service Brakes, Hydraulic

One complaint details issues with the hydraulic brake system, potentially related to ABS malfunction, leading to unexpected braking behavior. Estimated repair cost: $200 - $800.
