2019 Subaru outback many issues bought the car for safety for my newborn child in 2019. Has had multiple issues windshield keeps cracking. The steering column manual lever keeps collapsing causing unreliable steering and safety issues could possibly cause injury/death due to accident. The other major issue is there is now a head gasket leak in a car that only has 55,000 miles it's under on the miles for warranty but 3 months over for time. Try to work with the dealership and Subaru America to no resolve of the issue they offered a minor discount they should be covering the whole thing I have owned many cars brand new going over 100,000 miles plus with no such issue of a head gasket. I am a disabled Marine corps military veteran and the cooperation from Subaru as supposedly number one safest vehicle was not what I expected. If Subaru doesn't fix this it will be my last Subaru ever and this was my first not a great impression by any means.

2019 Subaru outback with 55,000 miles has a head gasket leaking 3 months over the warranty. But within the mileage. Also the steering column manual lever adjustment collapses intermittently causing severe safety issues and/or an accident.

I went to reverse, then drive and Left turn into a parking spot inside a small flattop parking lot. My car made a popping noise and grating sounds after the reverse and turning of the steering wheel. I turned off my car once in the spot and looked under the car is it sounded like something was grating against the ground. I didn-??t see anything. Upon restarting the car, the sounds continued when I tried to accelerate or turn. I could not accelerate past 10 mph and all my warning lights lit in the dash. I turned the car off and put in park. The car would roll forward unless I had the emergency brake on.

There is a problem with my 2019 steering since I bought it in 2020. When driving with highway speeds, over 45 MPH I am struggling to keep the car straight on the road and have to compensate steering all the time. The car feels unattached to the road like driving on icy road or having strong side wind gusts. I always make sure the lane assist is turned off as it is dangerous. I took the car to the dealer two times and the message was that it drives like a Subaru Outback and there is no problem with the steering.

Took in 2 yr old car relating to vehicle veering to the right, ticking helicopter noise on driver side. Took to Continental Subaru Anchorage Alaska on 11/2/22. For tire change over, alignment, oil change and for diagnostics on noise. I was told that my vehicle needed a complete driver side cx axle replacement. After axle was installed, they said they heard another noise and that it was my transmission, and now it needs replaced. I didn't get alignment according to papers. This car is 2 yrs old. 2019 bought in 2019 at Christmas or 2020. Why is transmission out? Low miles and drivers are very safe! I was given a rental till transmission could be ordered and replaced.

Unknown, but seems like steering is affected. When turning the vehicle over and bump there is a clanking that you can hear and feel coming from under the bottom of the vehicle. It was present about 3 months after purchase of the car new, and has progressively gotten worse. The steering wheel feels loose for the moment it clanks. It has been reproduced by two dealers. The first was unable to provide a solution, stating it is a -??manufacturing defect-?? of that model. The second replaced a spring in the steering box, but this did not fix the problem. It has been inspected by Subaru dealers. There are no warning lights on.

I bought the 2019 Subaru Outback less than 2 months ago. While driving either on the street or on the freeway at reasonable speeds, the car will suddenly without warning veer to the left or right causing me to believe I was about to lose control. At first I thought I hit a pothole or some other road hazard. There is nothing that I can see on the road to cause this.This is occurring once every other time I drive the car. I looked online and noticed many other complaints which are exactly the same as mine.This is very dangerous as this veering can cause a serious accident. I spoke with Subaru and am now trying to have it looked at since it is still under warranty. There were no warning lights, etc. Please look into this safety concern.

Under the following three conditions the front tires appear to become airborne and the tires skip making the vehicle seem to be out-of-control; When traveling at speeds >35 MPH, Wheels are turned >10 degrees, Any long bump (such as a rough transition "bump" from asphalt to concrete). This has been worsening over the last year and is now unsafe for my children to be in the car. My local Subaru dealership spent nearly 2 days inspecting all aspects of the car to include the alignment, bushings, and shocks. A senior technician was taken for a test-drive in the car and I was able to recreate the "skip". The technician was alarmed and surprised by the skip and thus held the car for a 2nd day to further investigate the reason for the "skip". They were unable to diagnose any defect. There has been no inspection by the police or insurance company. There have been no alarms or warning.

Car will pull to the left or right without warning. Whenever you are driving at any speed. Especially when you have a low spot in the road or slightly uneven pavement. You have to hold the car on the road or it will not stay in lane. Highway or in town. Have returned to dealership for repair with no luck. Was told that the alignment on the vehicle was good.

I requested many times to have our car checked for nhsta campaign : 19V493000. The dealership said our car was not included in that case. Our lane assist was too aggressive from the first day we drove the car. The dealership said the steering was speed sensitive and we were driving too fast. We explained that we could not keep the car in the lane when driving over 40 mph. In the first 24 months we carried the car to the dealership 20 to 30 times for the unsafe steering issue. Twenty four months later we had a rock chip the windshield and the chip ran into 3 cracks each over 8 inches long that afternoon while the car was in our home garage. After we paid a $500 deductible and the dealership replaced the windshield, the car drove better. The battery has been replaced three times, the fuel pump replaced, all the sensors on the tail gate have been, the passenger side window would stick 1/2 up, and many other problems. A scan of the car shows 10 modules failed with many active codes. The codes are the same as before the third battery was installed. Many of the codes are safety issues.

Driving on city streets - car steering wheel pulls to right without warning - feeling of losing control of car by driver - also pulls to the left when changing lanes to the left -- speed 40 to 50 miles an hour - feels like steering wheel is "loose" or has come loose. Complained to dealer yesterday - they said it is a suspension problem and to bring it back - have an appointment Monday morning at 8 am to have it fixed.

The windshield of my 2019 Subaru Outback spontaneously cracked. I was driving down a highway at about 50 mph, with no one in front of me or coming the other way. The windshield was not hit by road debris or anything of the sort. There was just a loud "pop". the eyesight functionality is now inconsistent as the crack extended from 6 inches to across the whole windshield in a few hours. The temperature was not below freezing and was about 45-50 degrees. The costs to replace a windshield like this are exorbitant because of all of the "safety" features and re-calibrating involved. I brought the problem to the attention of my local Subaru dealer and was told it is not covered under warranty. I inquired about known defects with the windshield and was told there are no defects with the windshields in the Subaru Outback 2019.

Vehicle steering is dangerous...vehicle suddenly lunged hard right then hard left...all while in motion on the road about 35 mph...was very perplexed and I'm scared to drive the vehicle now...after googling make & model recalls earlier years had steering issues recalled...perhaps this is the case for this vehicle? too dangerous to drive...

I have noticed that when driving above 40 mph the steering seems to "slip" and pull the car to the right. At that time the steering wheel has additional play making an immediate correction impossible. Highways have been clear however I am concerned what will happen when roads are slick w inclement weather. Took back to dealer; they adjusted toe rods. Problem still persists. I am concerned that this is a significant safety issue.

Purchased vehicle in March 2019, since owning vehicle my miles per gallon has been off ranging from 6 miles to 99 miles per gallon and the Subaru dealer doesn't know what the issue is. Also, while applying the brakes, you have to apply the pedal all the way down to stop. The vehicle has a soft pedal and a burnt smell in the engine.
