problem #2

Outback Touring 6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 12,324 miles

I spent a great deal of money on the Touring v6 outback with all the bells and whistles. However the radio is awful, it freezes cannot turn up or down, cannot change stations, cannot access the other apps like navigation, media, cd nothing it just freezes. I have not taken back to dealer yet but will it does me no good to purchase an auto at 40K with all the amenities and have this happen I am not happy. I need the navigation for traveling to visit grand kids, go to hospital appointments. When the radio freezes you can't turn it up or down or off. What a mess.

Outback Limited

  • Automatic transmission
  • 5,000 miles

So at first I though it was my inexperience using the radio in the new car. But now I realize this has happened quite a bit. Most recently the screen froze and nothing I could do unfroze it. That was several weeks ago. I temporarily turned off the car to no avail. Later after turning the car off for several hours the screen and systems worked OK. Last night the radio showed stations but no sound. I played with the stations for a while but to no avail. Interestingly the Sirius XM promotional came on but no FM or AM station.
