SUBARU OUTBACK 2007 car safety problem was reported on Sept 20, 2007.SUBARU OUTBACK 2007, manufactured by SUBARU OF AMERICA, INC. had a problem with POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE (TCM, PCM) . the latest incident date is shown below, the first time of the incident was in feb 07. there have been four occurrences. in each event the automobile was in heavy traffic and had been decelerating for a period of time prior to an immediate need to accelerate to avoid a rapidly approaching vehicle while either making an evasive maneuver due to road obstacles or while merging in congested high speed traffic. upon depressing the accelerator, the engine speeds up to near "red line" with no accompanying acceleration or engagement of the transmission. after a period of time in excess of one full second to an estimated three seconds the transmission engages and the vehicle begins to accelerate. in each instance, there was a great deal of concern on the part of the drivers (three different ones) that a "near accident" occurred. when the service department was first notified at the dealership, an explanation of the latest "drive by wire" transmissions with "fuzzy logic", anticipating computer programming was offered. though plausible, it did not seem a very likely "normal" expectation. the manufacturer was contacted and declared that only the local service department should be trouble shooting the systems. i was assured that they had the ability to work through the manufacturing technical departments, and i had no need to contact them. the service department thoroughly tested the systems, drove it at length, and again assured me that this was a known condition and we should be careful to avoid any situation where any unanticipated rapid changes from deceleration to acceleration would be needed. *tr.Mileage was 2200 miles.

Subaru Outback 2007 Suspension Rear Review #10323442

SUBARU OUTBACK 2007 car safety problem was reported on Feb 05, 2010.SUBARU OUTBACK 2007, manufactured by SUBARU OF AMERICA, INC. had a problem with SUSPENSION:REAR . i own a 2007 subaru outback 2.5i with a manual transmission. this vehicle is an early warning indicator for black ice on the road surface. the outback vehicle has a stability control problem in certain conditions. while driving at constant speed (constant and low throttle position) on a flat road, the back end of the vehicle tends to oscillate from side to side in icy conditions. the vehicle feels like it is going to spin out, although that hasn’t happened to me yet. other vehicles on the road at the same time seem to have adequate traction (2wd, awd, 4wd). the problem is not traction while: 1) cornering under slippery conditions, 2) hard acceleration on ice, or 3) braking on ice. road conditions that i have experienced the oscillation on are very thin ice (black ice). i suspect there is something wrong with the rear suspension design on my 05-09 outbacks. the problem is more prevalent and pronounced when the vehicle has occupants in the rear seats. the stability of this vehicle seems to be marginal and it only takes certain conditions (road and vehicle parameters) to be on the edge of disaster. subaru released technical service bulletin 05-36-07 which eliminated the positive side of the original toe tolerance for rear tire alignment. i think the vehicle experiences large rear tire toe in when weight is added. i suspect this large rear tire toe in when weight is added contributes to the stability problem in icy conditions i have brand new (jan 2010) hankook ipike w409 studless winter tires. it’s not the tires. those who have not experienced this situation naturally respond by saying it is ice, what are your expecting, just slow down. i have lived in colorado since 1981 and consider myself a competent driver in all weather conditions. without a doubt, i would actually feel safer and more in control driving my 2wd minivan (or any other car i have owned) in these conditions. i implore you to recall this vehicle. it is unsafe..Mileage was 46000 miles.

SUBARU OUTBACK 2007 car safety problem was reported on Jan 30, 2010.SUBARU OUTBACK 2007, manufactured by SUBARU OF AMERICA, INC. had a problem with VISIBILITY . audio/hvac controls flash or cut out altogether. problem started intermittently in jan. 2010 at about 15,000 miles but has now become consistent as of october 2010 at about 22,000 miles. when controls are acting up, not only does the panel not display properly, but also fails to respond to any adjustments. not being able to adjust the audio or climate control is an inconvenience. however, not being able to defrost front or rear windows when needed is a safety hazard. problem has been reported on subaru forums (for example, http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/loss-off-power-radio-and-climate-control-3459.html?p=2220291&postcount=114 [see #114 and #137, in particular] and http://www.subaruoutback.org/forums/80-electrical-electronics/23909-08-o-b-radio-hvac-control-lighting-prob.html). problem seems to stem from a poorly manufactured circuit board. honda has a similar issue with poorly made circuit boards, but has issued a tsb that now covers these units for 7 year/100,000 miles. it would be nice if something similar would be issued for subarus as owners experiences with dealerships have ranged from then never hearing of this problem before and not being able to correctly diagnose it to having it be a known issue that they work with soa to promptly address at no expense to the owner. *tr.Mileage was 15000 miles.

SUBARU OUTBACK 2007 car safety problem was reported on July 01, 2011.SUBARU OUTBACK 2007, manufactured by SUBARU OF AMERICA, INC. had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL . '07 subaru outback 2.5i w/ automatic transmission. when transmission was cool code p0720 was set for vehicle speed sensor failure. after driving for a while error would reset as sensor presumably warmed and began working normally. i identified and confirmed the front vehicle speed sensor was the problem. a week after the initial failure, and prior to my being able to replace the sensor, the behavior of the failure changed: at highway speed (60-65mph) the car would automatically shift into first gear and feel like the brakes were slammed on. this being an obviously dangerous and scary situation, my short term solution was to cut the wire going to the sensor until i could replace it. (the sensor is hard-wired into a 3-sensor wire harness that requires access inside the transmission to be replaced). just prior to the car automatically shifting into first gear i also heard the safety solenoid in the shifter assembly (the one that prevents the operator from putting the shifter into park while the car is moving) quickly cycling on and off, so my assumption was that a partial signal was being seen by the onboard computer and interpreted as if the vehicle was traveling at a slower speed than it really was. after cutting the speed sensor out of the circuit this aspect of the failure has not repeated itself. *tr.Mileage was 76000 miles.

SUBARU OUTBACK 2007 car safety problem was reported on Dec 21, 2013.SUBARU OUTBACK 2007, manufactured by Subaru of America, Inc. had a problem with ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL . this is the 5th subaru i have owned in my life and have not had any problems with any of them with stability in snow and ice. i am a professional driver and have driven in all weather conditions in 2 wheel drive vehicles and 4. i purchase this car in june of 2012 and always felt that it was not stable on the road. when the snow fell, i was testing the road conditions on very dry crunchy snow, when i turned the vehicle to go around a left corner. (this is something my other 2001 subaru outback has no problems with.) the vehicle started to turn and the rear end came undone and the car slid into a 4 wheel skid. it felt as though the whole rear end had lost any traction. it took acceleration to get it to engage again. both of my subaru's have all season radials that are in great shape. later in december my husband (who is also a professional driver) and i were traveling down the freeway at 55 mph, the outside temperature was 38 degrees and the road surface was wet. we had just a few groceries in the back of the car and it was not heavily loaded. we hit a slight bump in the road and the car started swaying and wobbling like on icy roads. he was able to bring the car under control, but both of us were shocked at how unstable it was. we again checked the road surface and it was not icy. i have also encountered instability in snow and slush, that is not normal to the subaru outback. my other car has no problems like this. these cars should be recalled. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 86000 miles.
