Subaru Outback

"When using Apple CarPlay every hour or so the display freezes up then crashes. This has not been resolved."

"Prompts to grip steering wheel while holding it. Switching from reverse to drive, computer is slow to respond. The conputer is generally slow to respond."

"The infotainment screen is painfully slow, especially during start-up, so as to be a significant safety issue/distraction when driving. This vehicle was built during the chip shortage and it's clear that they settled for a CPU way less powerful than what's needed to drive the system. The fact that so many formerly knob controls are integrated into the screen makes it especially frustrating to control your car. For example, when you start the car, and the heat or air conditioning is blasting from your last use, you can't change it for about 15-20 seconds until the infotainment systems becomes usable. It has "driver recognition" but still asks me to ccept the Ts&Cs every time I start the car...why...it knows me already! The CD player in the console does not interface correctly with the system and exhibits odd behavior. Sometimes, the screen goes blank altogether while it's "thinking." I get infotainment system software updates every time I go in for an oil change, but none have improved the performance. It is my opinion that Subaru should issue (down right "owes us") a manufacturer free upgrade of the infotainment processor before someone dies fiddling with it at speed or in traffic."

"Shortly after I bought it the screen sometimes freezes up or wont respond when I touch it. Example one day I had to pull over turn off the car and open and close the door and restart the car for the radio to come back on"

"The screen freezes up and then goes blank. The back-up camera is still able to pop-up on the screen though. The speed-maintaining aspect of cruise control is still active, but the lane assist and distance control go down. AC controls go down. Basically everything but the more basic functions of the car go down"

"If I use the phone's GPS system (Google Maps) there's no telling what will happen lol. It might come over the speakers too soft to hear, it might come over the speakers perfectly, or it might not come over the speakers at all but I can hear it from the phone."

"Requires frequent updates where it is connected to WiFi. If not updated, it will not work. Very inconvenient as when I need it there is not WiFi available"

"I have tried a few times to use the Tom-tom GPS that was installed as an upgrade. It cost $500 and I never use it. Waste of money. It does not recognize voice commands. (neither does the internal phone recognize voice commands). I successfully got the GPS to work the one time I used it locally and was able to type in exactly where I was going. I don't have time to teach the system my voice and enter all of the addresses I go to. It is a cumbersome product. We use our phone navigation apps."

"Various functions simply change settings or stop working temporarily."

"when temp gets colder the info screen is slow when operating touch screen"

"While driving, the Auto Ignition shutoff engaged at a traffic light. I shut off the application, and the car suddenly stopped. When it was restarted, the XMode light was lit, the Eyesight system was disabled, as was the cruise control, RAB, and the Service engine light came on. The car required a transmission relearn (Subarus term) which took about 2 hours. A huge inconvenience, since I was 1300 miles from my home dealership and in a foreign country."

"CarPlay connected when purchased. Several month later it stopped connecting."

"Sometimes won't/can't connect or loses connection."

"The wireless charging system is prone to overheating"
