2015 SUBARU OUTBACK Complaints

PASSENGER SIDE "CHILD LOCK" WILL NOT DISENGAGE. DOOR IS PERMANENTLY LOCKED FROM THE INSIDE BECAUSE OF A FAULTY CHILD LOCK. WE SET THE CHILD LOCK OUR CHILD WAS A TODDLER BUT NOW IT'S STUCK IN THE ON POSITION.

WINDOWSHIELD CRACKED JUST OUT OF THE BLUE BRAKE LIGHT FLASHES ON DASH WHEN DRIVING

BRAKES WERE MOMENTARY APPLIED BY SUBURU EYESIGHT BRAKING ASSIST SYSTEM WHILE DRIVING (IN MOTION AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH) ON A STRAIGHT PORTION OF AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY WITH NO OBSTRUCTION APPARENT. THIS HAD ALSO HAPPENED ONE OTHER TIME IN THE SAME VEHICLE SEVERAL MONTHS BEFORE IN SIMILAR CIRCUMSTANCES. ON BOTH INSTANCES THE DRIVER HAD HER FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR AND THE BRAKES RELEASED AFTER ONLY A SHORT DECELERATION. A QUICK FLASH OF THE BAS WARNING LIGHT WAS ALSO OBSERVED IN THE SECOND INSTANCE. A SECOND PERSON IN THE CAR AT THE TIME ALSO STATES THAT THERE WAS NO OBSTRUCTION SEEN ON THE ROAD AND THE DISTANCE TO ANY CAR AHEAD IN THE SAME LANE SHOULD NOT HAVE CAUSED THE PROBLEM BEING REPORTED. THERE WAS A REAL CONCERN THAT CARS FOLLOWING US ON THIS BUSY HIGHWAY COULD HAVE EASILY CAUSED A REAR-END COLLISION IF THE BRAKES HAD NOT RELEASED QUICKLY. THE DRIVER HAD NEVER TAKEN HER FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR AND WAS CAUGHT COMPLETELY BY SURPRISE.

NAVIGATION SCREEN REFLECTS SUNLIGHT SO YOU CAN'T SEE IMPORTANT INFORMATION. MAP SHOWS ZIGZAG PATTERN. TRIED CHANGING CONTRAST, DIDN'T HELP. THIS IS A CONSTANT PROBLEM WHEN ON THE HIGHWAY. DEALERSHIP SAID THE NEW SUBARU NAVIGATION SCREEN IS FINE,I DON'T NEED A NEW CAR!

BOTH REAR WHEEL BEARINGS REQUIRED REPLACING AT 83,967 MILES. THE WHEEL NOISE BEGAN PRIOR TO THE CURRENT MILEAGE BUT JUST NOW TOOK THE CAR TO DEALER. THE WHEEL NOISE GOT LOUDER AS THE SPEED INCREASED.

A SUPPOSED GAS CAP SEAL CAUSED 20 ICONS TO FLASH CONSTANTLY UPON MY DASH. THE CAR HAD BEEN SITTING IN A PARKING GARAGE FOR TWO DAYS PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT

A CRACK APPEARED AT THE BASE OF THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDSHIELD. GREW TO ABOUT A FOOT AND A HALF. IT SEEMS THERES BEEN A LAWSUIT FILED AGAINST SUBARU IN REGARDS TO WINDSHIELD, BUT NO RECALL HAS BEEN MADE. VERY SAD TO HEAR THAT ABOUT SUBARU. BECAUSE I'VE BEEN VERY HAPPY WITH MY SUBARU UNTIL NOW

MY DASHBOARD RELEASES VOCS SO MUCH I CANNOT KEEP THE WINDSHIELD CLEAN AND THE SUN BLINDS MY VIEW BECAUSE OF IT. I CLEAN ALMOST EVERY DAY BUT THE SMOG JUST GETS MOVED AROUND AND WILL NOT CLEAN. IT IS A TERRIBLE SAFETY HAZARD. THEY NEED TO MANUFACTURER THE DASH WITH A SAFER MATERIAL.

AT 65000 MILES I HAD TO REPLACE A WHEEL BEARING. I HAVE NEVER HAD A VEHICLE NEED A WHEEL BEARING WITH THIS LOW MILLAGE. I AM TOLD OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM.

VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. AFTER JUMPING THE BATTERY VEHICLE STARTED, AAA PERFORMED ROADSIDE TESTING AND DETERMINED THE BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR ARE WORKING PROPERLY AND ARE SUFFICIENTLY CHARGED. CAR WOULD NOT START FOR UNEXPLAINED REASONS. PREVIOUS SERVICE HISTORY LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THERE IS AN ONGOING ELECTRICAL ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE. PREVIOUSLY THE AIRBAG LIGHT WOULD FREQUENTLY ILLUMINATE. DEALERSHIP STATED IT WAS DUE TO ELECTRICAL INTERFERENCE AND THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG.
