problem #2

Nov 222017

Outback LX

  • Automatic transmission
  • 29,500 miles

My 2016 Outback died. The car will not move. Its like the brake is on. No one at Subaru is helping. Its been 2 days and they still can't give me an answer. I have 29K miles on the car. No help. They don't know why. I know why because the car is defective and they will not say it. For a company that brands itself with Love and reliability they have neither. Plus no Loaner. They told me to go rent a car and we give you $40 bucks a day.

problem #1

Outback 2.5I

  • CVT transmission
  • 3,000 miles

Just bought this car about 3 months ago brand new. No problems at all until yesterday. The acceleration just completely stopped and check engine light, ABS, Brakes, X Mode lights came on. It would only move in idle mode and car would shudder when I stepped on the gas. Checked the gas cap and it's on tight. This is unacceptable for a brand new car with just over 3k miles on it. This happened on Saturday night so we won't be able to get it fixed until Monday... My wife is currently 39 months pregnant with our first child. We just installed the car seat and a big reason why we bought this car was for its safety and reliability. Did I buy a lemon?
