2010 SUBARU OUTBACK Complaints

AFTER DECELERATING TO APPROXIMATED 5-15 MPH AND THEN APPLYING THE ACCELERATOR THERE IS A 1-2 SECOND DELAY BEFORE THE VEHICLE BEGINS TO ACCELERATE. WHEN IT DOES IT TENDS TO BUCK OR ACCELERATE FASTER THAN INTENDED AS THE ACCELERATOR WAS DEPRESSED FURTHER AS THERE WAS NO ACCELERATION. DRIVING IN CITY TRAFFIC THAT HAS ALMOST RESULTED IN A ACCIDENT DOZENS OF TIMES. THERE HAVE BEEN TWO TSB'S ISSUED FOR THIS KNOWN PROBLEM ONE FOR THE ENGINE AND ONE FOR THE TRANSMISSION, NEITHER ONE OF WHICH HAS ADDRESSED THE ISSUE. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO TWO DIFFERENT DEALERS WHO STATE THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND THAT THERE IS NO KNOWN FIX. THIS ISSUE OCCURS EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN AT THE ABOVE STATED SPEEDS. *TR

LOW BEAM HEADLAMPS ARE BURNING OUT RIDICULOUSLY FAST, AND WITH LOWEST BRIGHTNESS BULBS (LONGER LASTING YOU'D THINK) THEY ARE SO DIM, I HAVE GREAT VISION AND FIND THEM INCREDIBLY UNSAFE FOR VEHICLE SPEEDS ABOVE 25MPH WHICH IS APPALLING FOR HIGHWAY VISIBILITY AND DOWN RIGHT DANGEROUS! *TR

WITHOUT WARNING, BOTH OF THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS BLEW OUT WITHIN MOMENTS OF EACH OTHER. REPLACEMENTS DON'T LAST MORE THAN 3-6 MONTHS AFTER BEING REPLACED. DEALERSHIP WILL NOT ADDRESS ISSUE WITHOUT CHARGING EXORBITANT SERVICE FEES. RESEARCHED ONLINE AND DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. REQUEST YOUR ASSISTANCE IN HAVING SUBARU ADDRESS THE UNDERLYING FAULT(S) LEADING TO THESE POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS EVENTS. THANK YOU *TR

THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG OF OUR 2010 SUBARU OUTBACK WILL INTERMITTENTLY TURN OFF WHEN THERE IS AN ADULT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. WE'VE BROUGHT THE CAR TO TWO SUBARU DEALERS AND THEY BOTH HAVE TOLD US THERE'S NOTHING THEY CAN DO UNLESS THE SYSTEM IS BROKEN WHEN WE BRING THE CAR TO THE SHOP BECAUSE THE CAR DOESN'T SHOW A FAULT CODE. *TR
