| 2014 Subaru Outback 2.5 | 34Relevance | 4 years ago | Cherar | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| My 2014 subaru outback has 110,000 miles. I started hearing this whoop whoop Whooping sound upon deceleration and acceleration. Sounds like left front. I had just put new brakes and Rotors on all four at subaru dealer. Then put new tires and wheels at Costco. After that heard the noise. Tire place said not a tire issue. Took back to dealership; replaced 2 bad wheel bearings; right front and left rear. Then dealership said Oops that didn’t fix issue. It is the transmission. $8400.

| Question About Subaru Outback NHTSA Rollover Rating | 33Relevance | 4 years ago | Rob11812 | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| I am shopping for a new vehicle and the 2022 outback is a contender. I have a question about the NHTSA rollover risk rating. This rating is a number that represents the risk of rollover in a single vehicle loss of control scenario. The rating is calculated and is based on center of gravity and track width. The 2022 outback is rated at 18.5%, previous to the 2020 re-design, it was rated at 17.4%. Most modern SUV's are in the 15% to 16% range. People talk about the boxer engine and that fact that it sits lower, but I would have to think the NHTSA calculation is valid. If the rating is 20% or higher, a vehicle gets 3 stars for rollover instead of 4 stars. Am I overly concerned with this number? It seems that this rating should get more attention, but I can't find anything online suggesting any concerns. I also know 2022 outback owners who are very happy with the vehicle. Some actual expertise on this would be appreciated! I will watch for replies. I posted this as a comment on an Alex Prestigiacomo video, but the comment got no responses. I am hoping that it will get some responses here. | |||||
| Answer to: Subaru Forester or Outback | 33Relevance | 5 years ago | Baloney | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| subaru’s AWD is excellent, especially you use car as dog sledge. My parents have an 2015/2016 outback I don’t remember. outback provides more room leg room and cargo space. CVT transmission is a weak point but their outback is more than 140000km now, it’s still working like new car. Fuel economy is great, traffic in my hometown is heavy as h3ll, but the 2.5 engine doesn’t drink much gas. And it is very comfortable, 2~3 hours traffic jam daily, not so painful. For daily drive, no problem, proved. The 2 vehicles have similar ground clearance specs which are pretty good for unibody SUVs. Both 2 vehicles are pretty new, shouldn’t have many things worn out. Take test drives on both, spend a little time in them, see which one you like. Make sure the vehicle you d buy is in clean tittle, not rebuilt, no auto theft reported, no major accident, and no rust underneath. | |||||

| I wouldn’t buy a vehicle where the previous owner/seller did not address the CEL. It makes you wonder what other maintenance/repair items they were not on top of and/or are hiding. Regarding P0171 (Lean Condition code) see below: The 2011 subaru Forester (and that generation in general) had excessive oil consumption issues, unintended acceleration, leaky head gasket, and numerous recalls related to the Takata airbags. That generation (2009-2013) had up to 9 airbag recalls, and you’d want those addressed before you buy (not something to mess a ... | |||||

| 2019 Subaru Outback battery draining | 30Relevance | 4 years ago | Moonziati | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| We were going to purchase a 2019 outback (3.6L premium) with about 25000miles. It had its battery replaced 6months prior but within a couple days the battery died on us. (It was around 0 F at the time). I found an article about a lawsuit against subaru for unreliable batteries, but not much else. We were able to return the car to the used car dealership. We'd still like an outback. Wondering if a parasitic draw test before buying would eliminate models with a problem or if just buying a more reliable/greater capacity battery could resolve it. | |||||

| ... for a decade+, with minor revisions. But that’s not necessarily a bad thing. In Toyota land, and isn’t technology usually means time tested and rugged technology. The outback is built on newer technology, specifically the transmission, which is a CVT. Besides the form factor, the biggest difference between the two is the type of engine. Toyota uses a V6. subaru uses a boxer Engine, sometimes called a flat engine. subaru has a lower center of gravity due to using a fly engine. Which comes in handy when cornering, curves, or just staying stable when on t ... | |||||

A slightly less loaded Toyota will way outlast a subaru. I guess if push comes to shove and she just has to buy all of the bells and whistles, get the subaru, forget the Tucson, unless you like gambling and will get rid of it before 100k miles. Beware, Hyundai dealerships will say up to one quart of oil per 1k miles is "normal", and they won't do a thing. My 1999 Ra ... | |||||

| Subaru head gasket reimbursement | 27Relevance | 5 years ago | robertwessel | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Hi Scotty, I am going back and forth with subaru on my 2001 outback. In January 2013, with only 82,526 miles on the odometer, I paid $2,094.14 for head gasket replacements. I recently learned (while new car shopping) that the 2001 model year (and others) were plagued by the coated head gaskets which were ultimately replaced by the MLS gaskets. This was a design flaw. subaru offered me $750 credit towards a new subaru but I have asked for $1,750. Can I email to you the letters I wrote to subaru and maybe you can share with your viewers.
