Subaru has upgraded to electronic power steering in their vehicles because it offers greater reliability compared to the traditional hydraulic steering system. The electronic system has fewer moving parts, making it easier to troubleshoot and repair any issues. In a 2012 Subaru Impreza, the most common problem with the power steering system is related to the power steering motor. This motor assists with steering, but if it loses power due to a blown fuse, it will not function. In some cases, the motor may fail completely, requiring replacement and resulting in a loss of power steering altogether.
The 2012 Subaru Impreza is experiencing an issue where the electric power steering is losing some of its power, making it hard to steer the car smoothly.
