2011 SUBARU OUTBACK Complaints

MULTIPLE HEAD LIGHT FAILURES ROTATES BETWEEN DRIVERS SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE AT LEAST ONE LIGHT GOES OUT VERY THREE MONTHS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 SUBARU OUTBACK. WHILE DRIVING OR WHEN COMING TO A SUDDEN STOP, THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 118,000.

TAKATA RECALL - HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR OVER 3 MONTHS FOR THE LOCAL DEALER TO ACQUIRE PARTS AND FIX THE PROBLEM. AS OF THIS MORNING, THEY STILL HAVE NO IDEA WHEN THEY WILL HAVE THE PARTS AVAILABLE TO FIX OUR VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 SUBARU OUTBACK. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V358000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

TAKATA RECALL: INFORMED THAT NO ONE CAN SIT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT UNTIL PARTS ARE REPLACED AND THAT THERE ARE NO PARTS AVAILABLE. OUR NORMAL USAGE OF THE VEHICLE REQUIRES LOADING IN THE BACK AND A DRIVER AND PASSENGER IN THE FRONT. LOCAL SUBARU DEALERS HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO FIND US A LOANER VEHICLE FOR USE UNTIL OUR VEHICLE IS FIXED. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE.

WHILE DRIVING, IF YOU HAVE TO STOP QUICKLY AND STEP ON THE BRAKES HARD THE CAR ENGINE STALLS. THIS PUTS THE CAR IN JEOPARDY OF BEING HIT FROM BEHIND AND INJURY TO THE PASSENGERS. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF MONTHS AT VARIOUS SPEEDS - BOTH LOW SPEED AND HIGHWAY SPEED.

TWICE IN JULY THE ELECTRONIC PARKING BRAKE WOULD NOT RELEASE. THE CAR WAS STOPPED AT THE TIME. AFTER ABOUT 15 MINUTES THE PARKING BRAKE WOULD RELEASE. AFTER THE SECOND OCCURRENCE THE DASH WARNING LIGHT FOR BRAKES FLASHED FOR ABOUT 50 MILES. MY LOCAL DEALER DIAGNOSED IT AS A FAILED ELECTRONIC PARKING CONTROL MODULE. THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEMATIC DESIGN IF THIS WERE TO ENGAGE WHILE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION.
