Subaru Outback

"front caliper locking up. required replacement"

"It started out slowly and we recognized the issue and drove it straight to the mechanic"

"brake light comes on intermittently, cannot find any actual problem"

"The clutch stopped operating and the car had to be towed to the dealership to replace the clutch"

"The clutch fork broke. Took one day to be fixed and I was back on the road."

"CVT many times has reported errors in the computer, and causes the dashboard warning lights to all flash. Been brought in to the subaru dealer multiple times for clearing, but no definitive fix has ever been made"

"oil loss has been chronic problem since about 45,000 miles. went thru the Subaru oil consumption recall without any actual correction (sensor replaced). I add 1 qt of full synthetic (expensive) 0-20 oil every 1,000 miles. It's like a "rolling oil change" Since 175000 miles on the car I've noticed slight oil loss on pavement, so have determined that there's now a head gasket leak too."

"Had slow oil leak I think in camshaft cover. Because of opposing cylinder design, cost $2000 just for new seals. Now it appears that either the leak is continuing ir there's a new one."

"It always leaked oil even new. It probably needed an extra quart every 6,000 miles as its getting older closer to 2 quarts every 6,000 miles"

"Bought at 65,000 miles. Immediately noticed the engine needs a quart of oil every two weeks. My local mechanic found that there is a known issue with Subaru engines across many years and many models. Instead of doing a recall, they did a warranty extension. Im disappointed that they were able to hide this issue from the CarFax info. I called Subaru of America. They avoided me a lot. Finally they told me to take it to a Subaru dealership to verify it had excessive oil consumption. Cost $250 and they verified the problem and told me the engine needs a $5000 rebuild. After calling Subaru of America a bunch more they eventually told me that because its gone beyond the 10 year warranty, they would not help me with the cost. Im extremely disappointed and will never buy a Subaru again."

"Engine has to be completely removed for head gasket replacement, so just as cheap to get a rebuild $5k!"

"Faulty engine caused excessive oil consumption. About 1 1/2 quarts added between oil changes since we bought it 6 years ago. Did not make the recall Serial number needed. This caused the catalytic converter failure. Then the head gasket blew. Got that fixed then the engine seized up and had a short block replaced. Then the valve body failed."

"Front CV joints have been replaced previously. This would appear to be an ongoing issue with this vehicle."

"Rear end of vehicle started to clunk badly and was leaking fluids, so got it in the shop quickly."

"There was noise coming from the right rear wheel reported when passengers rode in the rear seat. I had the tires checked and it was not a tire problem. The noise was worse at higher speeds but did not influence maneuverability. When we took it to our mechanic, he said that the hub was close to falling off. He said that both hubs should be replaced. I didn't have an opportunity to reply to other. The headlights are difficult to access and you need to take the car in to a mechanic to replace them and the labor is expensive. Also the left driver window stopped working and had to be repaired. The check engine light came on several time indicating low oil when the oil level wasn''t very low."

"Solenoid failed. Many error lights appeared on display."

"Error code in transmission system, repaired with a new solenoid"

"Unable to shift beyond 2nd gear. Cost about 3,000 to fix at dealership"

"several years ago, the backup camera just stopped working altogether. the screen doesn't even recognize the car is in reverse, and just stays on the standard audio/nav screen"

"Microphone for blue tooth causes constant buzz for other party, making it unusable."

"The power windows needed to be reset. The computer glitched"

"Rusting around the rear wheel wells becoming more prominent."

"Needed to replace tailgate hatch lock"
