2010 SUBARU OUTBACK Complaints

CONTACTED PRESTIGE SUBARU, 585 TUNNEL RD, ASHEVILLE, NC 28805 ABOUT SETTING UP APPOINTMENT ON THE OPEN RECALL NOTICE I RECEIVED. AFTER EXPLAINING THE RECALL NOTICE THEY SAID THE EARLIEST APPOINTMENT WOULD BE IN MARCH. I DO NOT FEEL THAT WAITING 3+ MONTHS FOR AN APPOINTMENT IS A TIMELY SOLUTION. I TOLD THEM THAT AND THEY DID NOT CARE.

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS HAVE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED 4 TIMES NOW (8 BULBS TOTAL). FIRST TIME, IT BLEW OUT ABOUT A YEAR AFTER PURCHASE. THEN THE SECOND 6 MONTHS AFTER THAT. THIRD TIME ABOUT A YEAR AGO AND THE FOURTH TIME THE HEADLIGHT FAILED WAS TODAY (NOVEMBER, 2016). ALSO MY REAR NIGHT TIME LIGHT ALSO BLEW OUT THIS PAST AUGUST, 2016. WORST PART IS THE DIFFICULTY OF REPLACING THE HEADLIGHTS. YOU HAVE TO REMOVE THE FRONT BUMPER TO GET TO THE HEADLIGHT COMPARTMENT WHICH JUST ADDS TO THE AGGRAVATION. SOMETHING LIKE HEADLIGHTS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A SAFETY FEATURE THAT NEEDS TO BE EASILY REPLACEABLE BY THE CAR OWNER. REGARDLESS OF THE DIFFICULTY IN REPLACING THE HEADLIGHTS, THESE LIGHTS SHOULD NOT NEED TO BE REPLACED AS FREQUENTLY AS WHAT I'M EXPERIENCING.

CAR SHUDDERS AND SOUNDS LIKE ENGINE WILL DIE WHEN COMING TO COMPLETE STOP. IF THIS WERE A MANUAL TRANSMISSION, FEELS AS IF CLUTCH SHOULD BE PUSHED IN. PROBLEM OCCURS INTERMITTENTLY. COLD OR HOT ENGINE. PROBLEM BECAME NOTICEABLE AROUND 58,000-60,000 MILE.

TAKATA RECALL: UPON RECEIVING NOTICE AT MY SUMMER HOME, I CALLED THE DEALER IN MUSKEGON, MI. THEY DID NOT WOULD NOT HAVE THE PARTS. UPON RETURNING TO FLORIDA< I CALLED THE DEALER IN SARASOTA, THEY DID NOT HAVE THE PARTS AND MIGHT NOT HAVE THEM BEFORE I RETURN TO MICHIGAN NEXT JUNE. WE ARE TOLD THAT ONE SHOULD NOT RIDE IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT WHAT IS ONE TO DO??

CAR STARTED STALLING AFTER COMING TO A FULL STOP, AT 88,000 MILES. WAS FINE AT FIRST START UP, AND FINE WHEN BACKING OUT OF A PARKING PLACE OR GARAGE, BUT AFTER DRIVING AND COMING TO A STOP AT A LIGHT OR STOP SIGN, OR WHEN TRYING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN WHEN THERE WAS ONCOMING TRAFFIC (THIS WAS THE REALLY DANGEROUS PART), IT WOULD STALL, REQUIRING ME TO PUT IT IN PARK TO RESTART THE CAR. FIRST CHECK AT SERVICE STATION FOUND NOTHING WRONG IN THE COMPUTER. TOOK TO SUBARU DEALER ON 11/1/2016 AND WAS TOLD I NEEDED A $1,600 REPAIR TO THE TORQUE CONVERTER. *TR
