SUBARU OUTBACK 2011 car safety problem was reported on July 14, 2010.SUBARU OUTBACK 2011, manufactured by Subaru of America, Inc. had a problem with STEERING . steering wheel of the vehicle started shaking bad around 500 miles. it is a constant pulsation left/right. hand/arm pains and aches while trying to hold the steering wheel. this is also termed as shimmy / steering wheel shake problem and subaru has 2 tsb in effect 05-50-10 and 05-48-10. 05-50-10 (rfb) was performed. that did not fix the issue and the steering wheel still continues to shake. they have not yet scheduled 05-48-10 (bunch of parts replacement) for me, but i have a case opened with soa (subaru of america) - case # [xxx] in addition, during long moderate-speed turns like highway ramps, highway entrances the steering wheel pulsates. it feels like there is a "free-play" going around mid-turn. also, i would have to hold the steering wheel tight otherwise it tends to go away or float. from what i get from other owners who got this tsb done, the problem has not been fixed. subaru seems to be masking the problem rather than fixing the problem. [refer link : http://www.subaruoutback.org/forums/108-steering-wheel-shake-issues/] i am yet to get the major tsb done. soa said parts will arrive at dealer this week. i will followup with my dealer on this. i wanted to report this as a critical issue since i do not believe this tsb will fix my problem (based upon experience from others). please help to address this issue. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr .Mileage was 500 miles.

SUBARU OUTBACK 2011 car safety problem was reported on Aug 12, 2010.SUBARU OUTBACK 2011, manufactured by Subaru of America, Inc. had a problem with POWER TRAIN . when coming to a rolling stop and then stepping on the accelerator as our 2011 outback was turning, the new vehicle, with 9 miles on the odometer, experienced a brief hesitation followed by a hard transmission clunk and the vehicle lurched forward a few feet before driving normally. this occurred several times during rolling stops both when going forward and when turning a corner. we feel this is extremely unsafe and could lead to loss of control of the vehicle. we returned the vehicle to the dealership¿s service department within 17 hours of purchase and, after they had the car for 10 days, we were informed that, while they acknowledge the problem, there is no current fix for the issue and have no estimate as to when there might be one. in researching online, we discovered that a very similar, if not identical, problem was reported by owners of the 2010 outback model and a subaru service bulletin (11-94-09r) dated 01/05/10 was issued announcing that ¿ecm¿ reprogramming files¿ were available to rectify the problem. *tr.Mileage was 9 miles.

SUBARU OUTBACK 2011 car safety problem was reported on Sept 08, 2010.SUBARU OUTBACK 2011, manufactured by Subaru of America, Inc. had a problem with AIR BAGS:FRONTAL . passenger airbag is often turned off, even though a person is sitting in the passenger seat. this is repeatable. often, when my passenger (120 lbs, 5'7" tall) sits in the passenger seat, the airbag remains in the off position (as if no one is sitting in that seat). i've noticed that when the passenger sits, and puts their feet directly on the floor, the passenger's knees and upper thigh right above the knee do not make contact with the seat. when sitting in this position, the airbag will remain in the off position. when the passenger sits, with legs fully extended, so that the knee and upper thigh make better contact with the seat, the airbag is enabled. with the right combination of passenger length, and position of the passenger's legs while sitting, it is possible for the airbag to remain in the off position, even though there is a full-sized adult sitting in that seat. i believe the airbag (weight on seat) sensor, may be located too far forward on these seats. *tr.Mileage was 2800 miles.

SUBARU OUTBACK 2011 car safety problem was reported on Nov 29, 2010.SUBARU OUTBACK 2011, manufactured by SUBARU OF AMERICA, INC. had a problem with STEERING . 1.) 2011 subaru outback premium - new car purchase - with less than 300 miles on it. 2.) the car loses control at upper speeds (65mph+) where it sways out of control as if an icy patch was hit. the steering wheel also shakes at a rapidly low frequency creating a numbness in the driver's hands and forearms making it difficult to hold the steering wheel. this occurs every day when above 65mph. 3.) subaru dealerships have said they can not repeat the issue (however they do not take the car outside the city, therefore they are not driving beyond 65mph). no parts or repairs have been provided although tires were checked over for balance. this is an on going issue with subaru owners for the 2010 and 2011 model. i know of other subaru owners who have had tires rotated, balanced, etc and nothing has changed. thousands of forums are now online in regards to this. *tr.Mileage was 260 miles.

Subaru Outback 2011 Steering Review #10370475

SUBARU OUTBACK 2011 car safety problem was reported on Oct 07, 2010.SUBARU OUTBACK 2011, manufactured by SUBARU OF AMERICA, INC. had a problem with STEERING . 2011 subaru outback 3.6r limited purchased new in october 2010. vehicle had steering/handling issues from the start. excessive steering wheel/tire vibration/shimmy at highway speeds was immediately evident. in addition the car had a pulsation in the steering assembly when making slow turns. at highway speeds the steering had a "stick-slip" phenomenon while negotiating curves in the road. the dealership performed a series of fixes recommended by subaru of america (soa) including new tires with road force balancing, steering box replacement bushings, steering hydraulic pump replacement, replacement steering wheel, and replacement of steering rack assembly. at the conclusion of the various fixes the tire vibration was essentially eliminated. however, the steering pulsation/sticking was only ameliorated. the dealership informed me that soa was aware of the steering issue and was working on a solution, but that nothing further could be done with my vehicle at this time. the condition i have described is, in my opinion, a dangerous one. while driving winding country roads in the rain there is a distinct loss of feel for the road, similar to encountering a momentary patch of ice. because of the varying resistance felt through the steering wheel the car tends to oversteer and understeer in the turns. it is clear that soa's piecemeal replacement of parts to "fix" the problem is not the solution. there is more likely a design issue with the steering assembly that is mitigated but not corrected when major parts are replaced, perhaps due to component tolerances. this issue must be resolved by soa and a vehicle recall issued. *tr.Mileage was 110 miles.

SUBARU OUTBACK 2011 car safety problem was reported on July 01, 2011.SUBARU OUTBACK 2011, manufactured by SUBARU OF AMERICA, INC. had a problem with AIR BAGS . the passenger side front air bag indicator randomly showed the status 'on' or 'off' when the seat was occupied by an adult passenger. no pattern could be identified for the indication although we tried every perturbation of sitting, fastening seat belt, closing door, starting engine, etc. the vehicle was returned to the dealer for repair. the passenger seat sensor(s) was replaced as defective, now the indicator never indicates 'on', always 'off' regardless of actions as above. the vehicle was returned a second time, this time it was determined that the sensor(s) were being inhibited because of seat covers distributing the weight in such a way as to 'fool' the sensors. it took a 180 lb. person to activate the sensor, [a 170 lb. person did not] with the seat covers on, the sensors appeared to operate correctly without the seat covers. this raises the question of weight distribution, are large buttocks required given that there are multiple weight sensors in the seat, how about a small framed 120 lb adult. the answer is clear, the passenger air bag should always be on unless manually turned off by the user. subaru must provide a programming option to the owner to default the airbag status to always 'on'. my toyota and honda both provides a key lock option to disable the unit, default is, and should be required, to be 'on'. this is a safety issue, and subaru is opening themselves to class actions, and heaven forbid the first accident when the unit fails to deploy because it was not armed because of quirky weight distribution requirements. i believe that a preventive recall should be ordered if subaru does not unilaterally provide an always 'on' default option for the vehicle..Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):4S4BRBCC5B3.

SUBARU OUTBACK 2011 car safety problem was reported on July 28, 2011.SUBARU OUTBACK 2011, manufactured by SUBARU OF AMERICA, INC. had a problem with EXTERIOR LIGHTING . i have owned several subaru's over the years and always loved the headlights. unfortunately, i have owned this one less than a month and i almost had an accident driving at night on the country roads in ct. the night time driving lights only illuminate to a very low height (10 feet maybe?) and have a cut off line which appears to bounce up and down on country roads, making it almost impossible to see the road or anything in the distance. when i took the car back to the dealer to have them adjust or replace the headlight bulb they said that is how it was manufactured and there was no adjustment needed. they said to drive with the high beams on it will help. i honestly think that this may (probably will if it hasn't already) cause accidents, it almost did for me and subaru should really look into a fix for this before someone loses their life. *tr.Mileage was 15 miles.

SUBARU OUTBACK 2011 car safety problem was reported on July 03, 2011.SUBARU OUTBACK 2011, manufactured by SUBARU OF AMERICA, INC. had a problem with POWER TRAIN . i turned right into a driveway with a steep upward incline and had to stop my car briefly to speak to a person helping with parking for an event. my car has a manual transmission, so i engaged the electronic parking brake to hold the car so i could get moving again without rolling backwards. however, the parking brake on my car automatically disengages as soon as the gas pedal is depressed (or even, actually, touched at all). because of the very steep incline, by the time i had enough revs to engage the clutch, my car had rolled back into the street behind me. fortunately no vehicle was passing at the time, though a serious accident could have occurred. i have noticed that the electronic parking brake needs to be manually disengaged if the driver seatbelt is unfastened, presumably as a reminder to fasten the seatbelt. in the future in a similar driving situation i would be tempted to unfasten my seatbelt before attempting the steep hill start, which would be the less dangerous of two dangerous options. i emailed subaru to point out the problem and ask whether it would be possible to modify these vehicles such that the parking brake is always controllable by the driver. my concern was dismissed, seemingly without much consideration. i live in an area where steep hills are the norm, and have always driven a manual transmission car without incident, but the electronic parking brake on my new car presents a serious hazard. i would like to have this addressed before someone is injured or killed. *tr.Mileage was 2000 miles.

SUBARU OUTBACK 2011 car safety problem was reported on Aug 20, 2011.SUBARU OUTBACK 2011, manufactured by SUBARU OF AMERICA, INC. had a problem with AIR BAGS:FRONTAL . we recently purchased a 2011 subaru outback. we bought it due to high safety ratings and other features. the problem is that while my wife (who is 115 lbs) sits in the front passenger seat, the front airbag sensor switches the airbag on and off randomly. we took the car to the dealer and had it inspected. their findings were that the car is working as designed. the airbag is turning off when her weight is not in an exact spot. i looked up the problem online and had multiple hits for complaints from owners of the same car (and the 2010 model). we were instructed to make sure my wife sits up straight with her legs extended and the seat fully upright and back to help the airbag sensor get a more accurate reading. obviously it is not reasonable to expect a person to sit unmoving for an extended length in a car. also, in the event of a collision, her weight would naturally shift and thus the airbag may not deploy. to me, this negates the safety rating for the front passenger and discriminates against smaller adults who ride in the passenger seat. many of the complaints i read had this problem with adults up to 140 lbs, and the dealership replicated the problem with a man weighing 125 lbs. *tt.Mileage was 8832 miles.

SUBARU OUTBACK 2011 car safety problem was reported on Jan 12, 2011.SUBARU OUTBACK 2011, manufactured by SUBARU OF AMERICA, INC. had a problem with EXTERIOR LIGHTING . with the headlight switch in auto mode the headlights come on and then turn off while going under interstate bridge overpasses. the hazard with this is: vehicles in front think they are being signaling at and they suddenly slow . also vehicles in oncoming lanes think they are being signaled at. they slow and stare. this issue i have taken to the dealers. they know its a problem but give no solution or have a correct replacement part.they say it is normal, "all subarus do this". there is an adjustment they have tried but either the lights come on too soon or they don't come on soon enough. at the happy medium they come on as describe above at every bridge overpass. this is not normal. i wish someone would address this defect. other owners i have talked with either manually turn their lights on when needed or they leave the headlight switch in the "always on" position. headlights are expensive for this model and leaving them on is not an option for me. sometimes i forget to turn them and i find myself driving in the dark. all my other cars have auto-on lights and naturally work properly. i would appreciate your attention to this potentially hazardous defect. if i was privy to this defect i would not have bought a subaru. *tr.Mileage was 5035 miles.

SUBARU OUTBACK 2011 car safety problem was reported on Nov 25, 2012.SUBARU OUTBACK 2011, manufactured by Subaru of America, Inc. had a problem with ELECTRICAL SYSTEM . as i was passing another vehicle the car made a loud clunk and i lost power to the engine. i was in the opposite lane of a two lane road and had to squeeze my way back into my lane before a head on collision with an on coming car. after i safely got to the side of the road it was determined that the car had no ignition connection. the car would turn over but not run. when the car was towed to the dealership and tested it was determined that the signal between the key and the ignition system had been broken. after the keys were reprogrammed the car ran just fine. however, i am very concerned that this could happen again and place my families lives in danger again. i have received no assurances that this will not happen again. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 52000 miles.

SUBARU OUTBACK 2011 car safety problem was reported on May 03, 2012.SUBARU OUTBACK 2011, manufactured by SUBARU OF AMERICA, INC. had a problem with EXTERIOR LIGHTING . the low beam headlights have burned out twice. the car is a 2011 subaru outback, and it has less than 30,000 miles on it. the headlight setting is not kept on the "auto" setting. (some claim using the auto setting causes the lights to switch on-and-off more causing additional wear to the headlight.) the headlights were installed by a dealer, so it can be assumed they were installed to correct subaru specifications. the commute to and from work every day is a sinuous, tree-lined road, with the occasional deer crossing. during this time of year, the commute to and from work is in the dark. having one or both headlights burn out is a safety issue; driving with the high-beams on just to see the road is also a safety issue and is illegal. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 22345 miles.

Subaru Outback 2011 Vehicle Speed Control Review #10605924

SUBARU OUTBACK 2011 car safety problem was reported on June 23, 2014.SUBARU OUTBACK 2011, manufactured by Subaru of America, Inc. had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL . i was driving on the freeway when my check engine light, abs brake light, traction control (all wheel drive) light and cruise control lights began flashing all at once. i called the dealership immediately and was told that all the lights flash because most drivers ignore just the check engine light. at the dealer the next day i was told the same thing with the addition of the facts that the abs brake system and the traction control systems were actually disabled during this incident. during the conversation it was said that to correct the problem, a "reflash " of the computer system was needed and that this was a known problem on some outbacks. i asked why there was no recall if the problem was known and was told they just fixed the problem when it happened. this seems to me to be a significant safety problem since if the problem occurred while the driver was on ice or snow or wet road , vehicle stability would be compromised. i think subaru should at least be made to recall the suspected vehicles and fix the problem even though it is something that may not happen to all vehicles. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 57000 miles.

SUBARU OUTBACK 2011 car safety problem was reported on June 18, 2014.SUBARU OUTBACK 2011, manufactured by Subaru of America, Inc. had a problem with POWER TRAIN . the engine shuts down whenever you brake suddenly or use any pressure to brake (not coast to a stop). the car shakes and then dies and you have to restart the car. this happens almost daily and after taking it to several shops it was determined that the torque converter is bad and needs to be replaced. there is a service bulletin out about fixing this so it appears to be a common problem. even a quick search online produces hundreds of similar complaints for this make & model. given that this can stall out at any speed with any pressure in applying the brakes with the torque converter, this should be an immediate recall for safety concerns!!! it's a faulty part on the car, not a wear & tear item..0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 101000 miles.

SUBARU OUTBACK 2011 car safety problem was reported on Dec 01, 2013.SUBARU OUTBACK 2011, manufactured by Subaru of America, Inc. had a problem with EXTERIOR LIGHTING . this is a low beam headlight issue. i have replaced close to 6-8 low beam headlights over a year and half. no one can find the answer and subaru doesn't deem it to be a safety issue, although i disagree. i have had my battery tested for power surges and this is not happening. i've seen countless other postings from 2011 subaru owners and nothing is being done. the low beams are blowing and the projection of the light is not adequate for night time driving. something has to be done. i've also had a situation where both high beam lights blew out at the same time. that only happened once. the replacement costs are adding up because the low beam light is impossible to do without being put on a lift at the garage. thank you..0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 40000 miles.

Subaru Outback 2011 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.

Standard on all Impreza models are anti lock disc brakes, stability control, front seat side airbags, side curtain airbags and active front head restraints to help mitigate crash-induced whiplash

2006 Subaru outback died. Will not tke a boost. With battery cable connected there is an error code in the odometer. Does anybody know what this can be?

2007 Forester bangs into gear-been doing this mainly in cold weather but now all the time. Dealer always says not problem-it has to "warm up" and doesnt want ot deal with it.

My 2002 Impreza Outback Sport's check engine light comes on when I'm going downhill, not all the time.  Also (not all the time), if I don't downshift when coming to a stop, the car dies, not stalls, dies.  It starts right back up.  The engine l

i just wrecked my 04 wrx front impact and no air bag and seat belt locked after the impact...how do i contact some one to have this investigated?
