2015 SUBARU OUTBACK Complaints

NOTED OVER A PERIOD OF SEVERAL WEEKS, AN INCREASE IN EXHAUST NOISE FROM THE FRONT OF THE CAR. THE CABIN WOULD FILL WITH EXHAUST FUMES WHEN STOPPED WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER TWICE TO HAVE THE ISSUE DIAGNOSED AND BOTH TIMES THEY INDICATED THAT NO ISSUE WAS FOUND. ON THE THIRD TRIP, THEY CONFIRMED A HOLE IN THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD AND INITIALLY REFUSED TO REPLACE IT UNDER WARRANTY, EVEN THOUGH THE VEHICLE WAS COVERED UNDER THE PZEV EMISSIONS WARRANTY AND EXTENDED VEHICLE COVERAGE. AFTER POINTING OUT THE PZEV COVERAGE, THE DEALER REPLACED THE MANIFOLD.

2015 SUBARU OUTBACK BATTERY FAILS TO HOLD A CHARGE. I WAS ADVISED IN JANUARY 2020 BY THE SUBARU DEALERSHIP TO REPLACE THE BATTERY, WHICH I DID. THE PROBLEM IS NOW RECURRING AND THE CAR BATTERY WILL NOT HOLD A CHARGE OVER NIGHT. THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMS IT DOES NOT KNOW WHAT THE ISSUE IS. THE CAR HAS BECOME COMPLETELY UNRELIABLE.

2015 SUBARU OUTBACK 3.6L MILEAGE-58969. ALL LIGHTS FLASHING ON DASHBOARD, THEN SOME STOP BUT MANY STAY FLASHING.

I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE MY STOCK SUBARU BATTERY FROM THE DEALER NOW FOUR TIMES. I DRIVE IT FOR WORK EVERYDAY AND EVERY SO OFTEN IT WILL NOT START UP ONE MORNING. I DO NOT LEAVE MY LIGHTS ON, DOME LIGHTS, OR ANY OTHER ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS. IT WAS STATIONARY AND WOULD ALWAYS HAPPEN THE NEXT MORNING, THE BATTERY WOULD BE DRAINED AND THE DEALERSHIP WOULD REPLACE JUST THE BATTERY AS THEIR FIX. MONTHS LATER, IT WOULD ONLY HAPPEN AGAIN ON A BRAND NEW BATTERY FROM THE DEALER.

MY CAR WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY AND DEVELOPED A CRACK IN THE FRONT WINDSHIELD. NO IMPACT MARK OR ANYTHING. CRACKED IN THE LOWER PASSENGER SIDE WINDSHIELD LIKE ALL 2015 AND NEWER SUBARU OUTBACKS APPARENTLY DO. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ONLINE WITH PEOPLE DETAILING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE YET NO RECALL YET.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2015 SUBARU OUTBACK, I NOTICED THE FRONT WINDSHIELD SPONTANEOUSLY HAD A CRACK THAT STARTED AT THE LOWER PASSENGER SIDE AND RAN DIAGONALLY ACROSS THE WINDSHIELD ABOUT 12", NO EVIDENCE OF BEING HIT BY STONE, ETC.
