Headlights burn out too quickly. i am replacing my headlights approximately every 12,000 miles.
Noticed that dome/map lights not working and front time clock out. then when going to put it in park the engine revved and the brakes would not engage and ran into a fence causing damage to front end of vehicle. parking break has not worked for some time either.
When we were driving the 2011 subaru outback on the road on july 5,2019, the fuel gauge suddenly shifted from almost full to zero. the car stopped and we placed it in park. subsequent attempts to start the car did not even ignite the engine, even when we added another gallon of gas and tried jump starting the car. there were no visible signs of a gas leak. our insurance company towed our car to nearby coleman subaru nj, where the dealer has now assumed it was a computer issue and have asked to order another computer to fix it. this was an incredibly scary experience for us. there were five people in the car when we were driving and thankfully no one was hurt. if it happened on the high way, i don't know what would have happened. we are concerned this is a safety issue which can get people hurt.
I was driving home tonight and the car stalled everything quit working, the car jumped a few times and turned back on. i lost brakes and no steering coming down a 8 % grade. i turned the car back on and it kept doing it. i was out of cell service range so i could not call for help. it was scary. i got home and i see there was a recall but my car is out of that recall range at 100000 miles. i just paid 11,000 for this car. i believe i should not have to pay for this known issue.
Multiple warning lights appeared on the dashboard while driving. when sitting in the car, in the garage, the minute the key is turned, although the car is not started, all the dashboard warning lights went on although the car was stationary. picture uploaded taken when car was in garage.
Headlight and other exterior light bulbs die prematurely. i received a letter from subaru about a warranty extension and that they would cover the costs. so far i've had 3 headlights go out in the last two years (after 85k miles) and also was told by a subaru dealer yesterday that 5 other exterior lights were out. the general consensus is that it's a power surge in the lighting/electrical system that subaru isn't addressing. the replacement of headlight bulbs is extremely difficult and recommended that a shop or dealer do the work, making it very inconvenient to replace lights. it is dangerous to have the headlights go out so often when driving at night and visibility is reduced. there has been no recall or technical service bulletin issued by subaru, that i know of, and a lawsuit pending. https://legalnewsline.com/stories/510725171-complaints-about-subaru-outback-s-lights-preceded-class-action
Dome light, clock, sunroof, remote key fob, garage door opener on rear view mirror, etc. not working. fuses blow within a day or 2 of being replaced. origin of problem unknown in spite of many attempts at fixing it. this has been an ongoing problem for over 5 months. these devices don't work whether the car is running or in park.
Tamara recall i have had my 2011 outback for 4 months now and have gone through 3 sets of low beam headlights. not sure why they keep dying prematurely. i have gotten more expensive bulbs every time and now the $60 bulbs are doing the same thing. i feel there is an electrical issue and i have seen multiple forums describing the same issue from other people with the same year, make, and model.

Over the past year my mechanic has put in two new batteries in my car. my 2011 outback has a problem with starting, this was back when i had 80,000 miles on it. the connectors where fine and he cleaned them. the issue still has not been resolved, he can't seem to figure out what is causing it. there is no problem with the alternator. the passenger rear brake light has been replaced three times in four years of ownership, again no cause for the problem. i've taken it to authorized subaru dealerships and the original one i purchased from to no prevail. today i write with the issue of my cvt. the fact that i received a one year or 100,000 miles from date of year made is or which ever comes first is complete crap. today i started experiencing issues with the car wanting to what i describe as stalling out. i was going down my road which was slushy from snow/rain but mainly wet from the rain that came. subaru told me there is nothing wrong, and won't do anything till something brakes. so if the problem which has plagued almost fifty thousand outbacks causing 'stalling" ...
Two low beam highlights burned out at same time after starting car at night around 10:00 pm. after that, the battery was getting worse and dead at the service center just before replacing the highlight bulbs. the manager said that the battery's situation was not related with the problem of the high light, and there was no clues.
