Subaru Outback Change Vehicle

“the SRVD system failed intermittently. It is being repaired under warranty”

“The sensor was not hooked up. It was hanging under the bumper”

“Blind spot radar unit failed”

“The screen distance indicators frequently do not come on when the camera is activated”

“The rear sensor under the bumper went out of adjustment, and service readjusted it, and said they would replace it when the part arrived, but that has not happened yet”

“I purchased the Eyesight system and it failed and Subaru has been unable to fix it. It has been in the shop for three weeks at this time”

“Eye Sight had to be reset”

“Not always sensing blind side cars - re-call and repaired”

“When I shift from reverse to drive the camera does not go back to its normal display it stay with the image from when I was backing up or the screen goes blank. Eventually the screen does go back to the correct display of the electronics or navigation. Subaru has a TSB on this and it requires the electronics be reprogrammed. I have an extended warranty that I purchased because of the eyesight system and navigation I as concerned that I might have problems with the electronics. When I brought thi”

“Recalled to fix software bug in front crash avoidance problem”

“blind spont monitor warning light comes on sporadically, maybe oncce or more per month. Subaru says they cannot replicate it so have washed their hands of it. I can fix it by turning off motor, then back on. That's good, but causes the non-duplicatable problem”

“backup camera was on while driving forward”

“would not disengage when i shift into drive. Camera remained on for 15 or so seconds after shifting. It was correct via a re-installing the software”

“Back up sensor failed to sound off after navigation system was updated. Supposedly updated navigation software. I should have left it as it was”

“Freezes up or is late to turn on”

“See previous problem, as it is the same”

“Sensor lights come on occasionally indicating sensor is not working; had to stop and restart car to fix”

“Eyesite will fail but suddenly return. Dealer can't find any problem”

“Easily obscured in wet or snowy weather. Irritating, but not a severe problem”

“camera display would not clear after putting the Outback into drive”

“the changing lane alert did not work,”

“The battery failed at 37000 miles. After I installed a new battery some of the window controls and Eye-sight sensors aren't working”

“Went off-line”

“The backup camera wasn't working. The dealer replaced the entire screen and GPS system to fix it”

“Had the head unit replaced under warranty over a year ago for black out screen and delayed back up camera. Had it replaced and was working better but still consistent issues with lag in back up camera showing when in reverse and sometimes the guidelines don't show up either when reversing. Have tried out friends back up system in their 2017 outback and they don't have this issue. Ongoing warranty concern for us”

“The backup camera stays on even when you are going forward for about 3 to 10 seconds”

“Won't play some disks”

“The cd player cannot handle any mechanical shock and vibration. It gets lost”

“See previous response as it is all connected”

“When looking through polarized glasses the screen has chromatic aberration sufficient to block out some information. Also 'time' and 'outside temp' are too small to read easly”

“Depending on the direction of the sun the screen can be impossible to see. This is critical when using the backup camera”

“another problem is key fob security. car was robed by someone using a device that relayed rf signal amplifier to gain access from key fob inside my house. dealer said oh yea, we heard about that before. you can buy the device on the internet for $25. I would not buy this car again”

“Background pattern on screen that stayed during GPS, backup and music use that would not go away. Unit was reset (did not clear the problem). Unit was replaced under warranty”

“At night, the display screen is much too bright when in back-up display mode. It is so bright that it blinds me as the driver, and I have to cover it up to see anything. This means a) the backup camera is useless at night, and b) it creates more danger than if there were no backup display at all”

“Glare from shiny screen makes display hard to read in most conditions and the glare can be a safety issue if at a glancing angle”

“On days when it is very sunny, and the sun shines through the car windows, the screen becomes a picture of zig zag lines and cannot be seen at all. This impacts the Navigation system , the radio, etc”

“The display became increasingly difficult to see if the screen received any direct sunlight. The screen showed the contacts (sine wave like design about 1/4" inch tall in rows up across the entire screen from top top bottom) for the touch ability of the screen”

“The navigation system and Starlink freeze and cannot be restarted until car is stopped, and ignition cycled on/off. with 7 repairs and replacement of entire navigation and Starlink system, still problems. Subaru's "Zone Rep" says it is bad design”

“Sometimes cannot change the channel on the radio by pushing the buttons on screen. It freezes up. Have to use voice activated control to change it”

“Same as before, screen freezes and can't even turn it of unless I turn the car off”

“System locks up and is unUSble at time”

“Random scan - must turn off car to reset radio. Still waiting for warranty repair”

“After I complete a bluetooth phone call, the Audio Display Screen often freezes, and prevents me from selecting a radio station. I often need to turn off the ignition, and restart the car, in order to get the Audio Display Screen to start working ag”

“various spots in the screen (Maintenance) for example, just go randomly "gray" and you cannot click on any icons. In addition, it tells me when I click "sports" or "stocks" that I need to have a Sirius XM account, and I have a SiriusXm account”

“Screen freezes and won't reboot until I stop the car, turn off ignition and restart. Happened to me yesterday and averages about once per month”

“After shifting out of reverse, the back up camera remains on the screen for anywhere from 3-7 seconds”

“Both radio guide and map periodically freeze”

“Screen would show backup camera view in drive, had to replace whole display, took a week-”

“Frequent issues with radio not changing channels and it stops working”

“The display screen will start to fade out and then come back. Several times the backup camera display would not disappear after the car is put in the drive gear. Would have to turn off the car in order to clear the display”

“After owning car only 2 weeks the infotainment system totally failed (blank screen, unresponsive) . It had to be totally replaced with another unit”

“Subaru doesn't know what the problem is. They say they are researching. The screen works sometimes and sometimes not, it's just blank”

“The screen froze in cold weather was thinking nresponsive. Dealer rebooted it. Another time screen froze then went black. No interaction except limited radio from steering wheel”

“the display screen, on it's own, switches from map, to radio, to the main menu, and sometimes I can't select anything from the main menu- can be anything, but is usually the map. pushing the map button on the console doesn't work either when this happens”

“The digital part of the dash died. Includes odometer, miles to empty, and cruise control settings”

“Inconsistant connection. Never know from one time to the next, if it will work or not”

“My iPod classic turns off and has to be reset a lot. On the Subaru Owners Forum I learned that the software isn't supporting the iPod Classic even though the owners manual states that it will work with this car”

“I find the entire infotainment system to be difficult to use. It is non-intuitive. I find myself wondering why they don't have a simple, direct user-friendly system”

“The vehicle often drops connection to my iPod”

“There is a known defect that Subaru has not fixed dealing with the touch screen becoming non-responsive”

“We are unable to search by address. Called Subaru of America but they recommended we contact the dealer”

“While driving the gps navigation froze and the clock lost the time”

“The navigation system displays erroneous locations. The system becomes lost, frequently indicating that I am at locations that are up to one mile away from my actual location. Car has been in for service 7 times for this problem, and they can't fix”

“System is not as intuitive or as accurate as navigation system that I had in my accord. On several occasions, even w/ a specific address entered, the system would state that car had arrived at destination, when in fact in was no where near it”

“Faulty antenna made GPS inaccurate. Antenna was replaced under warranty, and now works fine”

“Already mentioned the frequent and random "thunk" sounds from the radio / NAV system. Dealer replaced both systems to fix it”

“You cannot turn off the voice directions and just use the visual screen directions. So, when you need directions, you MUST have the voice commands which are duplicative and interrupt with radio/CD/bluetooth listening”

“Needed a re-set. Not what I hoped for, does not give names of street in spoken directions”

“Lost voice in navigation system”

“the navigation system is horrible, You cannot use it, easily at at all really, except to see where you are and possibly where your headed”

“Doesnt work at all - since leaving dealer. Driven 700 mi but haven't had time to go back to dealer for a fix”

“Asked it to take me from Edwardsville, IL to Grafton, IL, 30 miles away. Routed me on a 9 hour trip via Chicago at other end of state, dealer cannot touch system. Called 800 # and was told I could buy a software update and install myself. WTF?”

“The navigation system that comes with the car is not as complete and comprehensive as Google Maps, so I end up using my phone most of the time when I need navigation assistance”

“Took a few visits to Subaru but finally convinced them there was a problem. The eventually replaced the GPS / NAV and it works fine now. Problem was short notification of directions. In most cases it was too late to turn when notified. Now I get 1/2 mile or more advance notice”

“GPS still worked, however, the "voice" stopped working”

“the navigation system lost all the talking commands”

“System lost voice directions. Dealer fixed for $47”

“The navigation system can't be trusted. As an example a destination was 1.3 miles away according to Waze and the Subaru GPS said it was 47 miles away. Waze was correct”

“the sound/audio stopped working”

“It "lost" the voice navigation. Radio & everything else works, but can get no verbal directions. Dealership is over 1 hr. away & a local car dealer said I had to go to Subaru, would take 1 hr diagnostic test. Online support does not exist. I tried Subaru website & navigation company website. All said I had to go to the dealership”

“Will suddenly change size and scale”

“unit would give us bad directions (get off interstates and then right back on).Took to dealer -he replaced (7 weeks). Better but still giving directions that are 1 1/2 hours longer on a 13 hour trip than my old garmin or google maps.Am bringing back to dealer for evaluation”

“Navigation system didn't work, entire unit had to be replaced”

“Screen froze several times”

“It is not reliable. It will tell you to take exits that you know are wrong, it is impossible to get the clock set when the time changes, the dealership had problems. Also, when the time does change and you make the adjustments the arrival time does not change and is one hour off. Its really frustrating. I would not buy another subaru because of this reason also”

“It had to be reprogrammed. it didn't want to go on freeways”

“No matter the upgrades, the voice cuts off giving directions at the start of the verbal direction to the point of being useless. More so at higher speeds”

“Vocal directions not always complete...sometimes gives only partial direction”

“audio does not work”

“did not work. replaced twice”

“Nav software was outdated and inaccurate the day i bought this car new. My $100. Garmin is much more reliable”

“Navigation system is unreliable. Accurate most of the time, but not always. Will direct you to the wrong address, then direct you to the correct address. Dealer has not been able to repair”

“We HATE the GPS. 1) Using the touch screen often requires multiple touches or corrections and distracts from driving. 2) We cannot mute the voice directions. 3) the maps are out of date & Subaru want $$ to update. We generally use Google Maps on our phones”

“When bought, the voice was intermittent. They replaced a part and it works now. However, the Nav system is the most rudimentary I have seen on a recent car. It speaks in cave man talk "Turn right at corner" and does not name streets even though that function is turned on in the settings. The tracker is consistently about 100 feet off ("turn right in 100 feet) - when I am literally in the middle of the intersection). My old dash mounted Garmin was much better and so is my Google maps phone”

“Difficult to see in the daylight, resulting in using my old original GPS for navigation”

“GPS occasionally(not frequently) is not accurate as compared to Google Maps. GPS does fine with straightforward directions. Occasionally when complicated/tight turns are involved it seems confused. This is not frequent”

“i had muted the gps voice prompt...there was no option ever to unmute it again!!! Had to get the entire GPS replaced under warrenty which came with updated software which had a mute/unmute option”

“Navigation system would quit giving verbal directions, screen would freeze up, radio would not respond and would eventually shut down and the screen would go blank. Dealer is replacing Navigation/Radio system, covered under warranty!”

“The voice is often cut off and does not sinc with the visual map. This requires me to look at the map to follow directions and take my eyes off the road”

“GPS is often just wrong. i'm sitting at destination and it is "recalculating." It takes me in wrong directions. It cannot be updated. I bought mine in 2015. A road closed in 2014 that's not noted. I cannot get an update. I've had the system replaced three times and it is still faulty”

“Verbal commands on navigation disappeared”

“The navigation system will either (1) not recognize the address spoken or (2) give an inaccurate location”

“Cannot always find loations or it does not send you to the closest location. Map updates do not solve the issue as some of these places have been there 30-40 years. It might be McDonalds,Social Security Office, Post Office and Department Stores. Also when looking for near by locations the GPS shows gas that you has past many miles behind you as you are passing one. There are other issues also.The Vehicle has been to the Dealership many times. The issues have not been resolved at this time”

“Sometimes will not recognize phone. Does not unpair and phone becomes unUSble without restarting it”

“The whole phone element of the Starlink system went down, and I have not had time to go to the dealer to get repaired”

“Fails to hold pair with Blackberry Pasport, system replaced, same problem. Cannot find phone even though it is next to the console”

“The car requires repairing with my iPhone 6+. Also, it doesn't do voice texting as advertised”

“The system is very, very hard to understand and the documentation is useless. It all looks like a last minute add on. After 6 months of trying, I can only say it works occasionally”

“One morning at the beginning of a 3-hour trip, I realized that my phone had not paired with the car and I could not control the radio to change a channel or affect volume. I could only turn it off by turning off the car and hoping that the radio was off when I turned the car back on”

“The linkage between the Subaru Outback and our cell phone has become "unlinked" at least twice in he past year”

“changing radio channels is a driving hazard. navigation settings change for no reason”

“Extremely POOR Bluetooth voice quality from connected phone. Voice communications often unintelligible as reported by call recipients. System noise cancellation makes voice level low due to car background noise. Performance is extremely poor as compared to current owned Toyota and previously owned Nissan and Honda vehicles. Numerous visits to dealer service have not resulted in any improvement”

“would not download phone book”

“The system does not recognize my phone periodically and will not sync it. Can be frustrating because I often don't notice this until I'm driving and nothing can be done until I've pulled over and stopped”

“Frequent electronic "thunk" sounds with no other indication. Everything worked fine, except there was this very frequent and annoying sound, at random intervals, all the time. The dealer ended up replacing the complete radio and NAV system to fix it”

“Unit had issues from day one pairing w/phone. GPS had a time zone line wrong. It took multiple trips to the dealer, may phone calls and way too much hassle to get the dealers service area to resolve the issue”

“As I indicated in my previous post - I didn't realize that I would have the option to talk about a second issue - I had problems with pairing the phone and with the radio. I also had problems with the speakers, & CD player. I couldn't control the radio stations, on/off, or volume. And I kept hearing a loud short static like sound from the speakers but it changed from one speaker to another”

“It has bluetooth capability. My phone didn't work with bluetooth until I got a download of software to fix that problem”

“Satellite radio stopped receiving a signal. Entire head unit was replaced under warranty”

“Radio failed; dealer did a software update; radio came back but then the gauges stopped working. After a return to dealer, who could not ID the problem, the radio mysteriously began working after they washed the car!! Suspect a JAVA issue”

“I already explained it. For whatever reason incoming calls were loud and gargles. I read the Manuel and fixed it but I don't know why it happened”

“malfunction. To be replaced under warranty”

“Loss of all audio - problem traced to faulty wiring harness. This was replaced and everything is working fine now”

“Worst sounding stereo I have ever had. I don't care if it has 8 speakers or 12 speakers. It only needs 2 good speakers, but it has NONE”

“The drive door speaker and air bag have a design defect. At moderate volume the speaker/airbag has a horrible rattle/noise. Door panel has been replaced with no change. Design defect that makes me mad as it was the top audio package offered”

“Voice Control Command takes 4-5 minutes to initialize each time the Car is started. Cannot use Voice Control when this is happening. Cannot use Hands Free for my Phone! Been to Dealer and on Phone with Subaru Tech support, who both state there is”

“Perhaps due to my failure to learn and master the system, and its complexity I have trouble with this,, especially hands off phone”

“The system randomly drops calls from my iPhone 6+”

“Voice commands are not usable in this vehicle as they often not recognized and very slow if they function at all. Have had (3) software updates but no resolution from dealer. Very poor design”

“Does not recognize what I am asking. Will not work at all with nav system”

“The system does not accurately translate my voice to an intended command”

“navigation does not respond to voice commands. phone has a lot of trouble with voice commands”

“Did not understand what was wanted”

“did not work. replaced 2x”

“It is inconsistent,”

“Voice control works very poorly and is frustrating to use”

“I am surprised how frequently the system doesn't recognize my voice. It always works if I go through my iphone but doesn't always work when I make a request using the car itself”

“Slow response. Long pause before you can respond. 1st half of GPS responses cut off, i.e. (TURN LEFT) 100 ft. Where Turn Left is cut out”

“The system that controls the radio and microphone stopped working. Sometimes can't turn off radio or give commands. It was replaced twice. Usually when I restart the car it works”

“I'm always checking to see if the windows are closed. It always sounds like one is open a crack”

“Whistling air noise from front passenger area windshield and corner window on this and many other Outbacks sold this year. Resolved with repair kit service that took one full day in the dealer's shop”

“Doors are know to have an air seal problem & it happened to my car also”

“Recurrent water leak drivers footwell, many dealer visits, unable to fix”

“Front windshield leaked on portion of the interface with the roof”

“Water pooled under the passenger floor mat due to plugged air conditioner drain hose. Once unclogged, that problem ceased. I now request that drain be checked whenever the car is serviced”

“water leaking down windshield pillers”

“passenger side window (small triangular one) was creating wind noise. they replaced the seal and all is good”

“Weather strip was missing inadequate on Right Front Passenger door. It was fixed on one of my maintenance visits”

“window air leak”

“Poorly fitting weatherstripping appears to be the issue. I understand Subaru is aware of this, but is a fix coming?”

“Drove new pre-ordererd car off lot and immediately noticed wind noise coming from small triangular window on passenger side front door. Dealership service manager said all the new 15 Outbacks had this problem to some degree with the seal around tha”

“Problem pinpointed to vent window and seals/weatherstripping”

“air leak and wind noise around front passenger side window”

“We had to have the window seals replaced because of the loud noise, but this Outback is just very loud. So loud we would not get another one just because of the noise”

“When experiencing strong cross winds, the wind noise in the opposite window is very high”

“Minor squeaking sound coming from front passenger seat belt recoiling mechanism. Subaru says they will fix it during next scheduled service”

“Cold engine makes noticeable loud rattling noise behind firewall. Noise subsides after engine warms up. Driver side windshield wiper makes loud click at up position at highway speed and faster wiper speeds”

“Rattle in the cubby door, then on the driver's side moon roof frame, and now the passenger side moon roof frame”

“Left rear strut squeaked when driving over rough spots in the road. Dealer replaced the strut under warranty”

“Rattle in or around front passenger door”

“new car from dealership and there was a rattle. It took the dealership about a day in the shop and they managed to fix the problem”

“I diagnosed and dealer agreed and repaired on one visit a bad rear wheel bearing”

“I have a rattle from the undercarriage. I've taken it to the dealer twice - NO success in fixing. My local mechanic has an idea of what it might be which is slightly better than the dealership has offered”

“Rattle at low speeds and a rattle at higher speeds”

“Noise in drive at low speeds took over a week for diagnosis, was a line banging against metal under the hood. Separately, the was equipped with an inadequately rated battery that failed recently. Only 356 CVA, apparently a known problem. Subaru central sent me a certificate to cover a replacement battery they now provide that is 550 CCA”

“Rattles and squeaks in dash above instrument cluster and storage door/sides (area below climate controls.)”

“rattle in the dash at certain speeds”

“Dashboard has rattles in spite of repeated efforts by dealer. Answer from dealer, 'nature of the beast'”

“had to get the lift gates motor replaced under warrenty..makes rattling sound and the movement is very jerky....i am afraid the new motor replacement is no better and is very likely to end up like its predecessor”

“I sometimes have a noise that sounds like a squealing belt, but dealer says they can't find/hear it”

“Only happens when it is under 50 degrees. When car warms up, the noise tends to go away”

“irritating, constant rattle coming from the dash area”

“Rattle has developed in front driver's side of dash. Noticeable on rough pavement at speeds between 25 and 45 mph. No rattle on super highways at high speed”

“When I'm driving on a highway it sounds like the window is down”

“Lots of engine and wind noise, but much better than the 2003 forester”

“Sounded like a window was partly open or not tightly closed”

“Wind noise on both sides in front. Corrected with door and window seal replacement”

“Front, passenger window has weather seal problem that allows wind noise”

“Manufacturing defect with the front triangular windows on the driver and passenger side. Improper sealing caused excessive wind noise at speeds above 30mph”

“Wind noise coming from the small front door windows when driving in a crosswind”

“This wind noise was related to the first problem. It was fixed when the weather stripping was fixed”

“A wind rushing sound on the drivers side window was not corrected by replacing the receiving ribber gaskets, dismantling the headliner or detaching the roof rack, but was eventually, after two weeks, improved by resetting the door latch”

“Passenger side noise was a problem and it took Subaru several attempts to fix it but love the car other than that”

“Horrible, unbearable wind noise coming from driver's side front triangular window--apparently a design flaw in this vehicle. Dealer applied a Subaru-approved fix--still some wind noise, but not as loud. Shame on Subaru!”

“Subaru replaced two wing windows under warranty. That did not fix the problem and I need to return to dealer. Also I had tinted my windows and the kit they used had new wing windows, so they need to be retinted”

“Wind noise from drivers window”

“Early models had wind noise at front window...taken care of by dealer”

“Noticeable wind noise particularly from the driver's side. Can't isolate the exact location but generally around the side windows. Subaru claims that this is not an issue”

“wind noise at both fixed front triangular windows”

“Wind noise from driver side door”

“On cold days car would start the first time but when stopped (at store, etc...) it woud not restart. All electrical systems would not respond. Had ot be towed back to dealer twice”

“There were repeated problems with the car recognizing the keys from a distance. Since the car was so new, the dealership had to make several attempts to fix. They ended up replacing both keys, along with the antenna underneath the console cupholder”

“Frequently cannot open liftgate with interior button”

“door locks and rear hatch worked intermitently”

“The cruise control is controlled by the "EyeSight" system which also controls emergency braking. If you drive through a puddle, many of the safety systems disengage and warning appear on the dash (automatic breaking, lane departure, blind spot warning and cruise control). The also disengage on sunny days. So, you can't really rely oin them as they're always turning on and off. The dealer refuses to fix it saying that the user's manual states that the EyeSight system may turn off in the rain. Par”

“erratic operation when turning itself off”

“The original interior lights were VERY dim, and twice, the lights were left on when we exited the vehicle and the battery was drained and NONE of the electronics would work. We had to get "jumped" both times. We have switched to expensive LED lights: map lights x2, middle seat dome, and ceilng near the tailgate. Three (3) different styles/wattage bulbs; which are bright and work OK now. I sure do not understand why there are three different styles of bulbs”

“The design of the overhead lights in the back seat and hatchback areas are such that my dog's head can turn them on ( rocker switch and slide respectively). Of course, I don't notice until the battery is dead”

“The blind spot monitoring system malfunctioned”

“False error that eyesite is down and fail to close rear hatch”
