Subaru Outback

"Both head gaskets developed cracks that meant my entire engine assembly needed to be taken out to access the head gaskets to replace them."

"Oil leak from failed valve cover gasket fouled engine sensors and impacted engine performance. All dashboard warning lights came on. Problem resolved by replacing gasket and cleaning sensors."

"I don't know much about it but took into the shop because it was loosing fluid. Discovered a head gasket failure."

"Intermittent brake pedal to the floor. Upon diagnosis, found a faulty master brake cylinder (o-ring) as well as a corroded brake connection."

"We are monitoring the wear over the past year, brakes were serviced about 2 years ago and seem to be going bad too quickly given our miles driven"

"Brakes failed while exiting highway at rest stop. Brake function was minimal; not safe to drive. Had car towed to my mechanic."

"over heating was caused by leaking head gasket"

"Experienced overheating on a long trip. I suspect head gaskets have failed and possibly a cracked head. I have not been able to take it apart yet to determine the exact issue."

"Found cooling system entirely drained. Mice created nest in engine compartment. Ate through cooling hoses."

"Phone keyboard issues."

"The car started aggressively lurching forward and would not shift. The Subaru repair shop knew immediately it was the Valve Body in the CVT. I had it replaced, and that was the problem. They said this was common and I confirmed that online. $1700 cost to repair."

"Rumble between gears, escalating over time. Had rebuilt before total failure."

"The moldings around the sides of the driver and front passenger seats came loose, and I cant snap them back into place. I have to be careful not to scratch my legs or snag my clothes."

"side plastic exterior plate became dislodged resulting in rubber door seal becoming loose"

"Clearcoat peeled off hatch panel"

"Water leaks in somewhere around the rear gate. Either it's the door seal or the center brake light given that the moisture is centrally located."

"radiator leak resulting in loss of fluid"

"coolant leak that required new thermostat and cover. minor coolant leak discovered during routine service."

"timing chain cover oil leak and CV cover oil leak"

"Both valve cover gaskets in the engine were leaking oil and needed to be replaced. Labor for that job was expensive."

"I have to add at least a quart between oil changes. Most everything on the lower side of the motor is covered with old, thick oil. I still haven't been able to narrow down where the leak is."

"The battery was just old and needed replaced."

"there was a settlement where Subaru had to pay for new external lights (especially headlights) for a period of time. They should have had to pay for them for the life of the car as they (unsurprisingly) keep failing."

"problem not yet resolved"

"Started hearing a clicking behind the dashboard. Researched it on line and found out it is a climate control issue causing the system not to cool properly. Will be expensive to take to the dealer for a cheap part replacement due to location. Will do it myself when it fails."

"The drivers door latch jams in the open position - the door cant be closed and latched. Its happened a number of times since we bought it in 2017. Its never been fixed (I dont want to pay an insurance deductible) - I just hold the door handle open and free the latch with a screwdriver."

"This issue left us stranded in Canada for 2 days. Was very difficult to diagnose"
