Subaru Outback 2009 Unknown Or Other Review #10253102

SUBARU OUTBACK 2009 car safety problem was reported on Dec 22, 2008.SUBARU OUTBACK 2009, manufactured by SUBARU OF AMERICA, INC. had a problem with UNKNOWN OR OTHER . i recently purchased a 2009 subaru outback 2.5 special edition. while driving on i-35 near cloquet, mn, the car exhibited dangerously unstable handling that has been described by other subaru outback owners. the road conditions were icy and even with greatly reduced speed the car would slide/drift sideways on straightaways. this was very unnerving as i could do nothing save reducing my speed to a crawl to avoid this drifting effect. at this point i was being passed by all other traffic on the highway (semis, fwd and rwd cars, etc.), which did not seem to have the handling issues i was having. the car is new (3700 miles) and i had just taken to a shop that morning for an oil change and everything checked out ok. i believe the outback has a dangerous handling issue that appears to manifest primarily when fully loaded (i had 2 passengers and gear) and on smooth and slippery roads. i am scared to drive this car in snowy conditions, which is unfortunate given i live in mn and bought this car for winter driving and its awd properties. i have never had a car handle so poorly in my 16 years of winter driving. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 3700 miles.

Subaru Outback 2009 Engine And Engine Cooling Engine Review #10375111

SUBARU OUTBACK 2009 car safety problem was reported on Dec 11, 2010.SUBARU OUTBACK 2009, manufactured by SUBARU OF AMERICA, INC. had a problem with ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE . in june of 2009 my husband and i purchased a 2009 v6 subaru outback (vin [xxx]) from manchester subaru in manchester, nh for $29,843.00.in december of 2010, with approximately 30,000 miles on the car and still under warranty the engine failed without warning, leaving us stranded, once again, this time with our now 2 year old and 4 month old. the car momentarily raced while driving and the rpm indicator rose unexpectedly to the red zone for a brief time. no indicator lights turned on until the engine had already failed. we had the car towed to manchester subaru where they stated they found metallic particles in the oil. we were asked to provide oil change receipts, which we did provide, as my husband regularly changed the oil himself. it took a month for a decision to be made as to whether or not the engine repair would be covered by the warranty and we were without a car for this entire time. we repeatedly asked for a loaner car, were told we would get one, but never did. subaru america finally decided that they would split the cost with us and that we would be responsible for paying $5,485.00. this was due to the fact that according to subaru, we did not put enough oil in the car as it required 5.8 quarts and we put in 5 quarts. we had just changed the oil in the car in october 2010 and it was less than 1 quart low at the time of the engine failure. we had checked the oil level every time when changing the oil and the dipstick indicated that level was sufficient, giving us no indication that the oil level was low. there was never any indication of low oil pressure at any time during the life of the vehicle. the next day, my husband spoke to the service department at manchester subaru. they indicated that the v6 outback has a very sensitive engine and if the oil is just a little bit low, it can cause the engine to fail. the v4 model would have also given a low oil pressure indicator light, which the v6 model does not do this. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr.Mileage was 30000 miles.

SUBARU OUTBACK 2009 car safety problem was reported on Feb 05, 2010.SUBARU OUTBACK 2009, manufactured by Subaru of America, Inc. had a problem with POWER TRAIN . the vehicle is a station wagon with 5-speed manual transmission, driven only by my wife and i. within the first year, we experienced an occasional problem where it would pop out of first gear when travelling at low speeds. i did not report this problem during the 3 year, 30,000 limited warranty period, because it occurred infrequently, and did not appear to present a safety hazard. furthermore, it's subaru's policy, as stated by the dealer moyer subaru, to not act until a problem can be demonstrated, and to charge the customer if no problem is found. however, the 5-year, 60,000 mile power train warranty, and a subaru gold plus, 7-year, 70,000 mile warranty, are still in effect. within the last year, the problem became more frequent, particularly when going down steep grades, which is necessary on roads slick from rain, snow or ice, or when there is some other hazard that warrants slow speed. when the transmission pops out to neutral, there is an alarming loss of control, and you must brake hard to arrest the acceleration, which is likely to cause skidding and sliding. i estimate this has happened at least 6 times in past two months of winter weather. last week (1/30/13), i reported the problem to moyer subaru who told me there are no recalls, and would not do a road test unless i agree to pay the cost if no problem is found. i am unwilling to do that, since there is no guarantee when this intermittent problem will occur again; only that it will occur again and likely cause a serious accident. instead, i reported the problem on subaru website, and they have documented my complaint (sr # 1-3193753102), but made no offer to investigate the problem. the subaru impreza owner's group reports similar problems with numerous imprezas, and some outbacks. we had this problem on a 2002 outback that was fixed under warranty, only after it progressed to higher gears. .Mileage was 4500 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):4S4BP60C596. Subaru Outback 2009 problem was reported in SINKING SPRING, PA. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control.

SUBARU OUTBACK 2009 car safety problem was reported on Feb 17, 2014.SUBARU OUTBACK 2009, manufactured by Subaru of America, Inc. had a problem with AIR BAGS . the airbag light on the dash would intermittently turn on. if i turned the car off and then right back on the light would go out. eventually the light would come back on, so i took the car to the dealer who had a technician check the computer codes. it listed (code 26-right front seat belt error). the technician reset the computer and the computer error code was cleared. the tech told me that eventually it was going to happen again, as he had seen the problem several times before in the 2008/2009 year range of outbacks & legacy's and told me that when the dash light was lit, "none of the airbags would work in a collision". all was well for a few weeks and the light did come back on, so the vehicle was taken to the dealer to be repaired. the problem seems to be the map light/passenger seatbelt lamp assembly (part # 84621ag53a) that is located on the interior roof directly next to the rear view mirror. i was informed that this part is not covered by any warranties, as the airbags are a "supplemental system", unlike seatbelts which "are covered" as the primary restraint system. it seems to me that subaru must obviously be aware of this defective part as it is an instock item at their dealerships (at least it is at my dealer). the bottom line is that i had to pay (almost $200) to fix a problem that will allow my vehicle's airbags to work in the event of a collision because the airbags are considered a "supplemental system".

Subaru Outback 2009 Reports


I test drove a 2011 Subaru Outback yesterday at night in a very dark area with the headlights on. I could only see out of the bottom third of the windshield. The top two thirds of the windshield looked as if a black curtain had dropped down over i

I notice if I quickly accelerate/go into overdrive - front of car will hum. Do I need to have something checked out?
Thank you!

2004 forester xt, strong gas smell in the cold weather when the heat is on. They won't fix it because they "can't find it" at my dealership. Do I need a new fuel line or is there an easier fix?

Thank you for these, can find a decent review now.

My 1998 subaru forester stutters/hiccups/bucks (whatever you call it) when going uphill, and when accelerating on a straight path, can it be the transmission?

I HAVE A SUBARU FORESTER 2000 TAIL LIGHT/PLATE LIGHT/'FRONT SIGNAL LIGHT STAYS ON.ONCE FUSE IS REMOVED LIGHT GOES OUT.WHAT COULD THE PROBLEM BE?

I own a 2008 Subaru impreza, till last week i was fine, but now it is having some problem i.e it is making whining sound from  steering pump, will i have to replace the steering pump and hoe much will it cost.
