Subaru Outback

"The screen will freeze when commands are input too quickly."

"Happens randomly, 3 or 4 times since purchased 7/2021"

"Display screen freezes up completely on a too frequent basis."

"It all works if I start car after I turn it off"

"It only happens occasionally and intermittently but it will stop functioning and freeze. Sometimes shutting off the engine and restarting will immeidately take care of it but other times it will take multiple attempts or simply waiting"

"Everything goes blank on the touchscreen therefore cant use hvac, radio, anything on the touchscreen."

"I had been having occasional trouble with the display screen going blank for 5 to 20 seconds while I was driving. At the 36,000 mile service the dealer said it was likely a software update issue. They updated the software (which took about an hour as I recall) but I still have the problem, however it is much less often."

"Lose ability to use all controls on touchscren"

"it started infrequently and then got worse. the problem was resolved with a software update."

"Screen would periodically go blank. Had been a problem since we bought the car. Dealer could not reproduce the error. Dealer charged us $150 to update the software."

"The touch screen will go blank when functions are chosen too quickly. generally requires the car to be turned off and restarted."

"Often in warm temperatures it goes blank"

"EVIDENTLY A SENSOR WASN'T WORKING BECAUSE A NEW AUDIO PACKAGE HAD TO REPLACE THE ORIGINAL. TOOK THEM AWEEK TO FIND THE REPLACEMENT"

"The screen goes blank often, which, if using GPS is a problem and can be dangerous if you are counting on it to get you where you need to be"

"The infotainment system crashes sometimes and goes blank. It reboots and then has trouble connecting to cell phones connected to it. The crash causes some systems to temporarily become unusable."

"Screen goes out sometimes comes back by itself. Other times power off and on"

"The display system in the Outback controls all heating, navigations, entertainment and air control to the car. From the day we bought it brand new, the entertainment system has been a nightmare. It will crash during driving all the time, and reboot, but other times it will go blank completely and require turning the car off and back on to fix. Even if it does not go blank or crash, it has a second+ delay when pressing any button. This means that at the screen's best, it works worse than any other car's system I have seen. Especially when it comes to the heated seats in winter, you can end up waiting 5-10+ seconds for the button you've pressed to make a sound and acknowledge that you have pressed it. Not to mention that Android Auto is incredibly bad on this car, and will disconnect even more often than Apple Car play will. Because of how much it would cost to fix, and because there was no solution to this problem, we sold the car to avoid any more headaches and/or worsening of the problem."

"It just cut outeventually it was taken care of by my dealership."

"Sirius XM does not work well with the audio system at times"

"The head unit was replaced after Many issues with it going black and raidio stopped working"

"From the time the car was new, the infotainment system would periodically fail to work (no audio at all), the unit would automatically reboot itself, and the audio would come on at full volume (and could not control it). This happened numerous time over two years and Subaru of America, through my dealership, replaced the unit which controls the infotainment system (the Cockpit Control Unit, or CCU) free of charge under warranty. I have since (June, 2023) had no problems with the system. This is a common problem for the 2020-2022, Generation 6 Subaru Outback. Subaru of America has been very good to work with regarding this issue."

"The screen would go dark and I could not get it to come on without turning the car off and on again. It happen almost daily."

"Slow, sluggish response, navigation system did not understand commands, screen would go black or freeze suddenly, eyesight would sometimes disable itself for no reason on engine startup"

"Location error intermittently at first startup of the day."

"problem began approximately 2 months ago, and is ongoing. not possible to input GPS information. There is an appointment in near future with dealership to have the problem resolved."

"The radio often would not restart when the car was turned on."

"Radio worked intermittently, volume level was inconsistent."

"voice control is very hard to use with GPS"

"Battery began dying inexplicably c 1 year after purchase. Now must be jump-started every time the car is turned on. I read online that this is a common problem with Subarus of this year and model (and others) due to parasitic drain from Starlink or Eyesight system that operates safety extras like side lighting alerts. There are many reports to NHTSA of this failure. Dealer denies this is the cause, saying we must be leaving lights on in the car, which we are not. We haver been stranded more than once. This is unsafe."

"After sitting overnight, the electrical system was completely shut down, could not start engine. Responded immediately to jump start from my Toyota battery. Has happened twice. Suspect battery (original and replacement purchased from Subaru) are not capable of running all of electronics of vehicle, especially when environmental conditions around vehicle are very hot."

"Wish I could tell you but your website deleted the explanation."

"The keys to this car have to be used within something like 5 feet of the car. Often the car will not respond when trying to lock/unlock the car. At first we thought it was just the batteries in the keys, but those have been replaced and the car still has the problem. We often find our car unlocked when we go to get into it in the morning because it is so bad at receiving the locking signal from the keys. We mentioned this to 3 different Subaru dealerships and all were unable to fix the problem, insisting it was the keys, but after replacing them, the problem was still there. In addition, the Subaru app crashed all the time and would often have problems locking/unlocking the car and remote-starting the vehicle."

"Circle, beezle, around exterior trunk lock was pushed in, causing key fob batteries to run out."

"This is the same problem I commented on earlier - battery dies unexpectedly."

"the auto sensing unit on the tail gate failed, but the dealer corrected the problem under warranty."

"Locked out of car once & had to use emergency key in fob to enter car. Car wouldnt start; battery dead; Jump start needed. Two instances separated by six months. Dont take your eyes off the road warning sound going off every other second for miles. In all cases the car was taken to a Subaru dealer for diagnosis. The diagnostic equipment gave no error codes and the battery was found to be fully charged. Ignition might have unknowingly been left in accessory mode thus draining the battery."

"Battery died and needed replacement. Quite expensive."

"Have only owned since April, battery died within another. Dealer replaced with upgrade."

"The passenger and driver windows fail to go up and retract very often due to sensing system. Windows appear clean. Its an annoyance."

"Back tailgate stopped closing. Motor replaced under 100,000 mile wattanty."

"This vehicle has LED lights which do not emit enough heat to melt snow and ice when I'm travelling in snowy conditions. Twice, I have had both the headlights and fog lights completely iced over on the front end."
