problem #2

Nov 302017

Outback Limited 3.2L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 2,200 miles

IT WON'T START IF USING IN ACCESSORY MODE AND/OR LEAVING THE DOORS OPEN FOR A SHORT PERIOD TIME EX 10 MIN, HARDLY ENOUGH TIME TO LOAD STUFF. WHEN YOU GET INTO THE CAR, EVERYTHING IS DEAD. HAVE TO GET A JUMP TO START. THIS CAN BE A BIG PROBLEM, BECAUSE IF YOU ACCIDENTALLY DON'T CLOSE YOUR DOOR, YOUR CAR IS DEAD. ALSO THE LAST TIME I ALSO HAD TO RESET STARTER WITH MY KEY BEFORE IT WOULD JUMP. NOT HAPPY ABOUT THIS AT ALL ESPECIALLY AFTER READING EVERYONE ELSE AND NO REAL PERMANENT FIX. I LOVE THE CAR OTHERWISE.

Outback Limited 2.5L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 1,500 miles

it won't start, engine does not turn over, no lights

This car is less than 2 months old...thank goodness I was home when I went to start it. It wouldn't even unlock. Just sat there in the dark. Have to wait 3 day for Subaru to agree to look at it. Guess I will have to walk to work. Boy...I bought this new car to have reliable transportation. Subaru sucks! Really sorry I invested $31000 in one of your crappy cars!
