| Aug 2018 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | THE RADIO HEAD UNIT WILL RANDOMLY NOT CONNECT TO APPLE CAR PLAY. IT WILL ALSO GET STUCK ON A FM RADIO STATION AND NOT RESPOND TO ANYTHING UNTIL THE BATTERY IS DISCONNECTED. THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING AND THERE IS NO WAY TO CONTROL THE VOLUME OR ANYTHING. I HAVE BEEN FOR SOFTWARE UPDATES. | Crash: No Fire: No | 11,000 |
| Aug 2018 | EXTERIOR LIGHTING | THE AUTO SENSING LIGHTS WILL NOT TURN OFF ON SOME OCCASIONS EVEN WHEN IT IS 9AM AND SUNNY. PULLING THE CAR OVER AND TURNING OFF THE CAR AND BACK ON WILL FIX THE ISSUE UNTIL NEXT TIME. | Crash: No Fire: No | 12,000 |
| Aug 2018 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | RAN OUT OF GAS WITH 12 MILES REMAINING ON INDICATOR. CAR WOULD NOT START. HAD WE BEEN ON THE ROAD DRIVING IT WOULD HAVE CAUSED US TO STOP WHILE IN MOTION. FORTUNATELY, WE WERE AT THE SUBARU DEALER WHEN IT HAPPENED TO OUR BRAND NEW SUV. APPARENTLY THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM THAT IS CAUSED BY A DEFECTIVE FUEL CLUSTER THAT CALIBRATES THE AMOUNT OF MILES ONE HAS REMAINING. WE WERE TOLD THAT SUBARU KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND IS MANUFACTURING/ REPLACING THE PART IF THEY ARE NOTIFIED THAT A PARTICULAR CAR HAS THE PROBLEM BUT IT WILL BE A MONTH BEFORE THE NEW PART IS SHIPPED TO OUR DEALER FOR INSTALLATION. UNFORTUNATELY, SUBARU HAS NOT NOTIFIED OWNERS OF THIS POTENTIAL PROBLEM AND WE COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING POSTED ON THEIR WEBSITE ABOUT THIS. | Crash: No Fire: No | 1,050 |
| Aug 2018 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ENGINE | VEHICLE DEVELOPED DRIP FROM TRANSMISSION APPROXIMATELY MID JUNE 2018. TOOK TO DEALER & UNABLE TO FIND SOURCE AFTER 11 DAYS IN SHOP.

| Aug 2018 | STEERING,WHEELS,SEATS,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | I HAVE ALWAYS WANTED A 3.6L AND THIS IS MY FIRST 3.6L 6 CYLINDER 2018 SUBARU OUTBACK! AM DISAPPOINTED WITH FEW PROBLEMS: THE FRONT SEATING IS NOT COMFORTABLE AND NOT SUPPORTIVE AT ALL, ESPECIAL IN HARD TURNS THE SEATS WILL NOT HOLD YOU IN PLACE, THE SEAT BED IS TO SHORT AND DOES NOT SUPPORT LONG LEGS IF YOU ARE OVER 5 FEET TALL. FOR SOME REASON THIS IS MY 3RD SUBARU 2ND OUTBACK THAT HAS WHEEL ALIGNMENT PROBLEM RIGHT OUT OF THE BOX!!! I ALWAYS SEEM TO BE PULLING THE STEERING-WHEEL/VEHICLE TO THE RIGHT AND MY STEERING IS ALWAYS ON A 15-20 DEGREE OFF AND IF I DON'T STEER AND PULL TO THE RIGHT THE VEHICLE DRIFTS WAY TO THE LEFT LANE AND THIS DANGERS AND A MAJOR PROBLEM. ALSO WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAYS WITH SPEED OVER 60 THE VEHICLE VIBRATES I TOOK IT IN FOR 4 TIRE WHEEL BALANCING AND I HOPE THIS WILL FIX THE PROBLEM, MIND YOU THIS IS A NEW CAR. 2018 OUTBACK HAS A PROBLEM WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAYS AND SPEEDS OVER 60 THE VEHICLE DRIFTS OR SWAYS DANGEROUSLY LEFT AND RIGHT OUT OF CONTROL AS IF SOMETHING IS PUSHING OR PUSHING THE VEHICLE LEFT AND RIGHT, I DON'T KNOW IF THE HIGHWAY VIBRATION WITH SPEEDS EXCEEDING 60 IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE SWAY OR ITS A WHEEL BALANCING PROBLEM. PREVIOUSLY OWNED SUBARU'S 2011 OUTBACK, 2011 LEGACY, 2014 OUTBACK, 2018 OUTBACK WITH ONLY 290 MILES ON THE VEHICLE WITH A FULL GAS TANK I DROVE IT TILL IT DISPLAYED AND THE GAS LIGHT IS ON THAT I ONLY HAVE 40 MILES TO GO BEFORE RUNNING OUT OF GAS SO I DROVE IT TO BE PRECISE ANOTHER 12 MILES THEN STATED THAT I ONLY HAVE 30 MILES TO EMPTY AND PARKED IT WHILE I WENT TO WORK , 6 HOURS LATER TO GO HOME AND THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START, UNFORTUNATELY I RAN OUT OF GAS! I DON'T KNOW IF THIS WAS A GLITCH OR ITS GOING TO BE A PROBLEM BUT I WILL KEEP MY EYES ON IT. | Crash: No Fire: No | 250 |
| Aug 2018 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | SOFT KEYS FOR RADIO PROGRAMMING GO TO INITIALIZING AND STAY THERE RATHER THAN SHOW THE SIRIUSXM CHANNEL THAT WAS SET IN MEMORY. HEAD UNIT IS EXTREMELY BRIGHT AT NIGHT IT DOES DIM BUT THERE ARE WHITE SECTIONS THAT SHOULD BE INVERTED AT NIGHT THIS MAKES IT DISTRACTING AT NIGHT. RADIO BOOTS UP TO A WHITE SCREEN NOW AND NOTHING WORKS. RADIO WAS REPLACED ON 5/31/18 AND AT THAT TIME IT HAD ADDITIONAL ISSUES BUT ALL APPEAR TO BE RETURNING.

| Jul 2018 | ENGINE | SUBARU IS SELLING NEW VEHICLES WITH INADEQUATE AMOUNTS OF COOLANT IN THE ENGINES COOLING SYSTEM. THIS HAS CAUSED AN IMMEDIATE NEED FOR COOLANT BEING ADDED AS RESIDUAL AIR IN THE SYSTEM IN EXPELLED TO THE RESERVOIR. IF A CUSTOMER FOLLOWS SUBARUS GUIDANCE FOR TIME/MILEAGE TO FIRST INSPECTION THEY RISK HAVING THE CAR OVERHEAT/STALL WHILE DRIVING POTENTIALLY CAUSE BODILY AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE. I BROUGHT THIS ISSUE UP WITH MULTIPLE DEALERS WITH NO RESOLUTION. | Crash: No Fire: No | 2,700 |
| Jul 2018 | VISIBILITY/WIPER | DRIVING INTERSTATE, 65MPH, SMALL OBJECT THROWN FROM ANOTHER VEHICLE HIT MY WINDSHIELD ON THE LEFT EDGE. SHORT CRACKS APPEARED IMMEDIATELY. TWO SPREAD ALL THE WAY TO THE REAR VIEW MIRROR AREA WITHIN DAYS. VEHICLE IS ONLY TWO MONTHS OLD. | Crash: No Fire: No | 3,500 |

| Jun 2018 | ENGINE | ENGINE CUTS OFF UNEXPECTEDLY WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. I'M ABLE TO RESTART AFTER PULLING OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. FEBRUARY 22 AND MARCH 24, 2018 WERE THE FIRST TWO TIMES THE ISSUE HAPPENED. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND THEY SAID SUBARU WAS AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THEY TOLD ME TO KEEP MY GAS ABOVE HALF A TANK. THE ISSUE HASN'T HAPPENED SINCE I STARTED KEEPING MY GAS HALF FULL. THE 'MILES TO EMPTY' GAGE IS VERY INACCURATE. I FEEL VERY UNSAFE DRIVING THE CAR BECAUSE IT SPONTANEOUSLY CUTS OFF, AND I'M WORRIED IT WILL CUT OFF IN AN INTERSECTION OF A MAJOR HIGHWAY. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT MACON, GA SUBARU HAS BEEN VERY UNHELPFUL AND UNWILLING TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. THE FIELD SERVICE ENGINEER NAMED KEVIN SAID THE PROBLEM IS LIKELY CAUSED BY FAILURE OF ONE OF TWO PARTS INVOLVING THE FUEL SYSTEM. HOWEVER, THEY ARE UNWILLING TO REPLACE THE PARTS. THE DEALERSHIP EXPRESSED CONCERN THAT THEIR SERVICE DEPARTMENT WOULD HAVE TO TAKE THE BRUNT OF THE COST IF THEY SENT MY PART BACK TO SUBARU. THIS SEEMS LIKE AN UNACCEPTABLE REASON TO REFUSE TO ATTEMPT THE REPAIR OF SUCH A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. | Crash: No Fire: No | 2,000 |
| May 2018 | FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER | TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 SUBARU OUTBACK. WHILE DRIVING 5 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING.

THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN UNKNOWN DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE MALFUNCTIONED AND DISPLAYED AN INCORRECT FUEL LEVEL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,900. | Crash: No Fire: No Injuries: 1 Towed Medical attention | 3,900 |
| May 2018 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | I HAVE 6000 MILES ON MY 2018 SUBARU OUTBACK AND RODENTS ATE THE ELECTRICAL WIRES IN MY ENGINE WHICH CAUSED ME NOT TO BE ABLE TO OPERATE THE CAR AND COULD HAVE CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT. I FOUND OUT MY WIRES ARE SOY BASED WHICH ATTRACTED THE RODENTS.I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN MY DASHBOARD INDICATORS LIT UP INDICATING THERE WAS A PROBLEM. I IMMEDIATELY DROVE TO THE SUBARU SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND HAD THE WIRING REPAIRED. IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF SUBARU TO REPLACE ALL MY WIRING WITH NON-SOY BASED WIRING AT NO COST TO ME IMMEDIATELY AND GIVE ME A LOANER CAR WITHOUT SOY BASED WIRING UNTIL MY CAR HAS BEEN REPAIRED. IT IS IMPORTANT THAT ALL CARS ON THE ROAD ARE HAZARD FREE. | Crash: No Fire: No | 6,000 |
