SUBARU OUTBACK 2008 car safety problem was reported on May 15, 2008.SUBARU OUTBACK 2008, manufactured by SUBARU OF AMERICA, INC. had a problem with STRUCTURE:BODY . shortly after purchasing this vehicle (new), the hood latch began to occasionally open by itself while driving. the safety latch does catch the hood before it opens all the way, but it is nevertheless disconcerting, and certainly a safety issue. i currently have approximately 82000 miles on the vehicle, and would estimate that the hood has self-opened while driving at least 20 times. the dealer suggested that i was not closing the hood sufficiently when changing the oil, or when adding washer fluid. i do not change my own oil, and rarely need to open the hood, as the dealer or a quick-lube service have been performing the maintenance. there seems to be no relationship between speed or road condition, as i have not been able to cause the hood to open on demand, and neither has the dealer. there also seems to be no relationship to the number of miles since the last occurrence. sometimes the time between occurrences is very short (less than a week, and less than 150 miles), and other times i can go several months between occurrences. the dealer has seen the vehicle for this problem at least 8 times, i believe, and has done virtually nothing but "adjust" the latch. i have communicated this problem to the manufacturer, who referred it to the dealer. the dealer asked if i knew when it was going to happen again (i did not), and they asked me to bring it in the next time it happened so that they could see that the hood latch was open (i did). .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 2000 miles.

SUBARU OUTBACK 2008 car safety problem was reported on Oct 29, 2014.SUBARU OUTBACK 2008, manufactured by Subaru of America, Inc. had a problem with AIR BAGS . the airbag light on the dash illuminates due to a flawed part in the system. this is a common problem with this series of subarus and disables the airbags while the car is in use, a very dangerous and possibly deadly problem. subaru has been aware of this problem for years but refuses to do anything about it. the part and its replacement are expensive and often does not get repaired because it is at the owner's expense. my feeling is that safety equipment should be warranted by the manufacturer for the reasonable life of the automobile. the flawed part has been used for years with subaru's full knowledge that the part is flawed. .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 135000 miles.
