Common problems with the 2024 Impreza
NHTSA's file holds 32 owner complaints on the 2024 Subaru Impreza. Owners named forward collision avoidance most often: 6 complaints. A complaint can name more than one component.

Mileage when owners reported a problem with the 2024 Impreza
Too few complaints on the 2024 Impreza list a mileage to say when owners reported problems: 4 of its 32 complaints list a mileage (3,000 to 41,000 miles), and a median is given here only with 10 or more.
These mileages say when owners reported a problem, not when a 2024 Impreza wears out. NHTSA's file holds only vehicles whose owners complained; one that ran without a problem never appears in it, so it gives no lifespan and no cutoff, and how a vehicle was maintained matters more than any one odometer reading.
Every model year together: Half of the 1,518 NHTSA owner complaints on the Subaru Impreza that list mileage came after 44,000 miles (NHTSA complaints file of November 11, 2026). How many miles will a Subaru Impreza last? →
Is the 2024 Impreza a good year?
Complaint counts cannot say whether the 2024 is a good or a bad Impreza: they rise with how many were sold and how long they have been on the road. They show how the 2024 compares with the other model years in NHTSA's file.
With 32 complaints, the 2024 ranks 23rd of the 30 Subaru Impreza model years from 1993 to 2024 with 10 or more complaints, counting from the most. The most: the 2002 (292). The fewest: the 2001 (10).
The 2024 is a recent model year: it has had less time than older years to collect complaints, so its count is still growing. No year is ranked by mileage here, because a year's median mileage mostly follows its age.
| Model year | Owner complaints | Listing mileage | Median mileage |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1993 Impreza | 33 | 3 | Under 10 mileages |
| 1995 Impreza | 46 | 6 | Under 10 mileages |

2024 Subaru Impreza recalls
NHTSA's recall files of November 11, 2026 list 2 recall campaigns that name the 2024 Subaru Impreza. A campaign covers a production range, not every vehicle of the model year: check the VIN with NHTSA's free recall lookup.
What these figures can and cannot tell you
- Complaints are owners’ reports to NHTSA. NHTSA publishes them without verifying them: a complaint is an allegation, not a defect finding.
- The mileage is what the owner wrote on the complaint; NHTSA does not check it against the odometer.
- The make, model and model year are the ones on the complaint. NHTSA records them as filed, so a few complaints sit under a model year the name was not sold in.
- They are not a lifespan study. The file holds only vehicles whose owners reported a problem, so these figures do not say how long a typical 2024 Impreza lasts.
- A complaint count rises with how many vehicles were sold and how long they have been on the road, so it is not a rating of the 2024 Impreza.
- Nothing here describes one vehicle: its title brands, odometer readings, accidents and open recalls are in the records for its own VIN.
- 28 of the 32 complaints on the 2024 Subaru Impreza give no usable mileage (blank, zero, a filler such as 999999, or over 500,000) and are left out of every mileage figure.
- NHTSA name counted: IMPREZA. NHTSA files some vehicles under several names (a series name and a trim name, for example); this page counts only this one.
- Recall-file name matched: IMPREZA.
