Common problems and easy repairs on a 2016 Crosstrek

The 2016 Subaru Crosstrek Limited is somewhat easy to maintain. Both fuse boxes are quick to find and easy to access, and the engine one comes provided with a fuse puller, allowing you to troubleshoot electrical issues with reliability. The spare tire and jack kit are packaged together, allowing for hassle-free set-up in the event you’ll need to service a flat. Monitoring the brake fluid isn’t a problem as its reservoir has very open access towards the top of the engine bay.

However, the 2016 Subaru Crosstrek Limited has its downsides. The headlights on both sides of the vehicle will require engine parts to be removed for access, which won’t allow for reliable bulb changes. Accessing the fog lights in particular might be a problem as the wheel well lining will need to be removed to reach them. The lower radiator hose has a hazardous reach through the engine bay.
