2022 Subaru WRX Owner Complaints

Engine-related complaints dominate reports for the 2022 WRX, making up the majority of what owners describe. The most common theme involves abnormal engine noises, particularly a loud knocking or chugging sound originating from the A/C compressor area, which owners note occurs even when the A/C is switched off and is most noticeable at idle. A separate recurring pattern involves hood vibration felt and seen while driving over minor road imperfections. On the forward collision avoidance side, multiple owners report the automatic emergency braking system triggering unexpectedly in cold conditions, apparently responding to exhaust smoke from vehicles ahead, with no available sensitivity adjustment. Powertrain reports are fewer, with one isolated account of a hill-hold assist releasing after the driver exited, allowing the vehicle to roll.
