2013 SUBARU OUTBACK. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO AIRBAG SAFETY RECALL. *LD *JS

"TAKATA RECALL" THE TRANSMISSION STARTED FAILING AT AROUND 105K. IT TURNS OUT THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM BY SUBARU AND AFTER TALKING TO CUSTOMER SERVICE, THEY REFUSED TO FIX THE ISSUE OWING TO THE FACT THAT IT WAS OVER 100K MILES. THEY GAVE EXTENDED WARRANTIES FOR VEHICLES BUT ONLY UP TO 100K. I THINK THAT THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN AN ACTUAL RECALL AND NOT AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. ITS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN THAT SUBARU IS AWARE OF.

VEHICLE USES OIL EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF OIL AND THIS YEAR OF OUTBACK HAS HAD RECALLS BUT SAID VIN # HAS NOT HAD A RECALL FOR EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION.

TAKATA RECALL SUBARU IS PROVIDING A LOANER WHILE THE REPAIR TAKES PLACE. WHEN I ARRIVED AT BERTERA SUBARU, IN WEST SPRINGFIELD, MA. FOR THE SCHEDULED REPAIR THEY TOLD ME THAT I HAD TO PUT A CREDIT CARD "ON FILE" SO THAT THEY COULD GIVE ME THE LOANER. I AM PLACED IN A SITUATION OF LOSING A DAY'S PAY OR KKEPING MY PASSENGERS IN MORTAL DANGER.. CAN THEY DISCRIMINATE AGAINST THE POOR IN ADMINISTERING A FEDERALLY MANDATED RECALL? CAN YOU DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS?

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 SUBARU OUTBACK. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V008000 (AIR BAGS). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. PINE BELT SUBARU (1104 NJ-88, LAKEWOOD, NJ 08701, (732) 719-4521) WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND WAS NOT ABLE TO CONFIRM WHEN THE PARTS WERE TO BECOME AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

WHILE DRIVING ON I 10 AT 70 MPH, 30 MILE'S EAST OF TALLAHASSEE. FL, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. LUCKILY, I COASTED TO THE SHOULDER. IT EASILY COULD HAVE ENDED IN A FATALITY. IN FEBRUARY, 2019, THE AT OIL TEMP LIGHT CAME ON. AT THAT TIME FITZGERALD SUBARU IN CLEARWATER FL (MY HOMETOWN) CHECKED OUT MY CAR AND SAID NOTHING IS WRONG. SO, I WAS DRIVING THE CAR FOR MY VACATION IN MICHIGAN AND THE AT OIL TEMP CAME ON AGAIN WITH SUBSEQUENT TRANSMISSION FAILURE. COME TO FIND OUT, THESE BAD TRANSMISSIONS ARE A KNOWN PROBLEM. THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT NEEDS TO MAKE SUBARU DO A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED BECAUSE OF THEIR NEGLIGENCE.

WHILE DRIVING MY SUBARU OUTBACK 2013 2.5I PREMIUM MODEL, BRAKE LIGHT, CRUISE CONTROL, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STARTED FLASHING IN THE DASHBOARD. TOOK IT TO A DEALER AND I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS BODY VALVE FAILURE INSIDE TRANSMISSION. IT WAS FIXED (SUBARU PAID $1,500 AND I CONTRIBUTED $300 FOR THE REPAIR) BY A SUBARU DEALER. YET, TEN DAYS LATER THE SAME THREE LIGHTS WENT ON. THE DEALER SAID IT WAS DIFFERENT PROBLEMS, CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND O2 SENSORS, QUOTED $1,800. LEFT THE DEALER WITHOUT FIXING THE PROBLEMS. IT SEEMS THAT MY CAR WAS NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS TYPE OF ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. I SAW THE EXACTLY SAME COMPLAINTS POSTED BY OTHER USER IN VIRGINIA (REFER TO NHTSA ID NUMBER: 11204834).

RED AIRBAG LIGHT . DEALER DIAGNOSIS CODE B1650. RESPONSE IS TO REPLACE THE BOTTOM PART OF PASSENGER SEAT. 1840.00 REPAIR. THIS HAPPENED ABOUT A YEAR AFTER THEY REPLACED THE AIRBAG RELATED TO TAKATA RECALL. SOA HAS OFFERED 1000.00 'IN GOOD WILL GESTURE ' . SAW A RECALL IN 2015 FOR IMPREZA WAGONS THROWING OFF B1650 CODE. WAS TOLD BY SOA NOT TO DRIVE MY OUTBACK AS THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I TOTALLY AGREE, BUT ALSO THINK THAT A 6 YEAR OLD OUTBACK SHOULD NOT BE HAVING THIS KIND OF SAFETY ISSUE . I AM UNABLE TO REPAIR DUE TO THE COSTLY REPAIR AND IN MY OPINION THIS IS SUBARU'S RESPONSIBILITY TO FIX! THERE IS NO POSSIBLE WAY I COULD HAVE CAUSED THIS MALFUNCTION.
