Automatic breaking activated for no reason but only for a very short time but very hard. then released. there was a flash of something on the dash i think a breaking warning and beeping sound. moving approx 35mph, not breaking, on 2 lane road ( east pea ridge rd. huntington wv). nothing in front of me for quite a distance. no one coming toward me either. road conditions were good. straight road. ( i have included a google map picture of approximately where it happened) time: about 12:45pm car was previously a "company car" of my brothers. (wheels inc) i purchaned it in oct 2017. my brother said this had happened to him one time also. found same complaint at: https://www.carcomplaints.com/subaru/outback/2015/brakes/service_brakes.shtml google map link: https://www.google.com/maps/@38.4181887,-82.3074982,3a,75y,91.28h,90.13t/data=!3m9!1e1!3m7!1s0vricifyqxplamxba7q8dw!2e0!7i13312!8i6656!9m2!1b1!2i41?hl=en
During the fall of 2019, i noticed an exhaust smell when starting my 2015 subaru outback in my garage. this smell coincided with the car running rough when starting and the exhaust smell entering the cabin when the heater was turned on. i did not notice this cabin exhaust smell in the summer due to using the ac on recirculate. the exhaust smell was especially noticeable when i was idling waiting to pick up my kids and sitting at traffic stops. i brought my vehicle in to a subaru dealer and they stated that my catalytic converter was cracked and should be replaced. this was when my car was at 80,829 miles and they actually had the part on hand. i am assuming that this happens to them quite frequently since stocking a $1500 on hand would not be the best use of inventory. the repair cost $1940 since my emission warranty was barely out due to the 829 miles. i explained to them that this was happening way before the 80,000 miles, but they refused to cover it under warranty. i feel that having exhaust ...
My dashboard releases vocs so much i cannot keep the windshield clean and the sun blinds my view because of it. i clean almost every day but the smog just gets moved around and will not clean. it is a terrible safety hazard. they need to manufacturer the dash with a safer material.
Vehicle would not start. after jumping the battery vehicle started, aaa performed roadside testing and determined the battery and alternator are working properly and are sufficiently charged. car would not start for unexplained reasons. previous service history leads me to believe there is an ongoing electrical issue with this vehicle. previously the airbag light would frequently illuminate. dealership stated it was due to electrical interference and that nothing was wrong.
Battery is dead after one day of complete battery charge this is the third time this has happened on a replacement battery. the original subaru battery failed in same manner. charging system is putting out 13.85 volts when car is running. battery voltage after trickle charge 12.87. stationary
Hello, my windshield broke about 6 months after purchasing the vehicle. i don't know how or why. it was just broken one morning when i went out to my car. i figured a rock or something hit it. there was no recall at the time and so i had it replaced with a oem windshield. my second windshield just broke a couple of weeks ago while changing my wipers you can see where the ceramic wiper heater delaminated inside of the windshield. it turned bright red. i have owned alot of cars and never seen a windshield that is so fragile. i have changed many, many wiper blades and i know what a quality windshield is. i set the wiper blade holder down on the windshield gently and it cracked, the crack grew across the windshield in a day or so. ridiculous. these windshields run about 500 bucks and should be better quality. i also have electrical problems where my car clock will not set... currently. it took them 3 years to figure out the steering retaining pin was broken even though i was complaining about it since i bought the car. the ...
Key stuck in ignition when i parked and tried to take key out. i was away from home. eventually, i moved gears and i pushed key inwards and it released. i just had a hefty repair bill before discovering recalls for this issue on earlier models.
The windshield on my 2015 outback cracked from the driver's side bottom upward then turned toward the passenger side in an l shape. took it to the subaru dealership and they of course claim that there must have been an impact that caused the crack. the asst. service manager actually argued with me and claimed that you could feel a point of impact where a rock "must have hit" and blamed that for the crack. i can feel no point of impact and was in fact driving the car when the crack happened and know that nothing hit the windshield. despite the class action suit against these windshields, subaru is still not willing to replace it after their "close and careful" inspection that took about 10 seconds. they told me the warranty would not cover it. they clearly know there is a problem with these windshields and are doing nothing to correct it, even refusing to replace ones that do have a problem. besides being a bad business move for subaru, this seems like a huge safety issue for consumers.
Windshield spontaniously cracked from passenger b piller to center. was getting ready to leave a motel in az on a cold, frosty rainey day. i had turned on defroster and heater. as we started to move the vehicle to the freeway , passenger and i both heard a pop and noticed a crack running from behind the passenger b piller to the center. no other vehicles were moving near my vehicle. subaru has denied claim claiming windshield damaed by a rock. i have never notice a rock strike on the windshield. the vehicle was in motion but not in traffic- on access road.
The srvd (blind spot) not working indicator light comes on--meaning the blind spot mechanism will not work. i have turned the car off and started again which may eliminate the problem. there have been other published complaints as detailed in consumer forums on the internet. the blind spot light on the outside mirrors will will not work if the srvd is not functioning.
We were driving our 2015 subaru outback at about 55mph on us20, the temperature was in the mid 30's, in east oregon when our sunroof spontaneously exploded. there were no other vehicles around and there was no impact from foreign objects. there was a loud, distracting, bang followed by a cloud of shattered glass coming from the back of the car. the sunroof cover was closed and the tempered glass fragments collected in the well and rattled around for the remaining 3 1/2 hours of our journey.
Windshield crack appeared without obvious cause.
Exhaust system issue. exhaust mainfold leak at catalyst converter. for our outback we noticed a significant levels of exhaust fumes in passenger cabin. they were no indication of failure of exhaust system or catalyst converter on the car. but we are getting some much fumes smell when we stopped at the traffic signal or parking lot. it all most made us sick. luckily i got it checked at the service center and they find the leak. this is potentially a very risky thing for people who don't notice the smell might get slow poisoned with carbon monoxide or other elements in exhaust fumes. there may be direct injury from this issue but as i said i was almost got sick because of fumes. for people with pzev vehicle, the exhaust system is covered under warranty. please bring this issue with manufacturing. for people out there if you notice a loud exhaust note at start of your vehicle or small rattling noise when we you accelerate after a complete stop, it might be your exhaust system, please get it checked as soon as possible. ps attached is the diagnosis report ...
The pipes that connect to manifold to muffler need to be replaced after 50,000 miles. subaru said this is not covered under warrant, because it is not the manifold.
Please read upload documents. my 2015 subaru outback began showing signs of excessive oil consumption in the summer 2018. apparently this was a known problem with subaru and class action lawsuit was filed against subaru for models made prior to 2015. my vehicle failed a oil consumption test in the fall of 2018. i was told by white bear subaru if the vehicle failed an oil consumption test subaru of america would pay to have a new short block installed due to this ongoing engine defect. however, subaru of america refused to pay the full amount to have a new short block installed as even though my car was make in 2014 it is technically a 2015 that the class action lawsuit only protected consumers of models prior to 2015. also, in the fall of 2018 the interior of this vehicle began to have a exhaust smell and was making me feel sick. they determined that part of the exhaust system was broken but told me not to have it fixed before the new short block was installed and the exhaust system would just become clogged with the oil the car was burning. i went ahead had had the repair ...
