When I released the brake pedal to proceed, the engine failed to automatically restart. The vehicle became immobilized in a live traffic lane, creating a serious safety hazard with traffic backed up behind me and oncoming vehicles unable to predict my situation. No warning lights or alerts preceded the failure. After shifting to Park and pressing the ignition button multiple times, the engine eventually restarted. There was no prior history of stalling, no check engine light, and the battery and vehicle have been maintained per Subaru's schedule. This is a critical safety defect: a vehicle that disables its own engine in traffic and fails to restart on demand puts the driver, passengers, and surrounding traffic at immediate risk of rear-end collision. The Auto Start-Stop system should never leave a vehicle stranded in a live roadway. The vehicle is available for inspection.  I have/have not yet taken the vehicle to a Subaru dealer for diagnosis.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2022","productMake":"SUBARU","productModel":"OUTBACK","manufacturer":"Subaru of America, Inc."}]},{"odiNumber":11746719,"manufacturer":"Subaru of America, Inc.","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"05/01/2025","dateComplaintFiled":"06/26/2026","vin":"4S4BTANC0N3","components":"POWER TRAIN","summary":"The contact owns a 2022 Subaru Outback.

About a year-or-so ago the battery in her outback died. Not unusual in Arizona. I replaced it with an upgraded AGM (Interstate) version\u2014same group, same cranking power. No issues. Recently, after an oil change at the dealer, she called back to report that a \u201cCheck Engine\u201d light had come on. She was told that she probably had not put the gas cap on properly. Gas cap was on properly; light went off the next day. A few days later the Auto Stop/Start (ASS) feature started acting up (not functioning). A few days later the ASS turned the engine off and did not restart automatically\u2014in the middle of heavy traffic during rush hour. The ASS light came on. The engine started manually, and we got it home. Battery was dead the next morning. I charged it up and took the car to the local mechanic for a quick assessment. The battery was fine, charging, but the car threw a Code: P0871 Transmission Fluid Pressure Sensor Switch. This mechanic told us that there was a Technical Service bulletin through Subaru that addressed this issue but was also aware that it could be caused by the ASS killing the battery OR other electronic modules which fail to enter sleep mode\u2014which would also cause random lights to come on.  An appointment was made to take the car into Peoria Subaru, thinking it would be something they could diagnose easily. It had previously been in for the routine oil change with the inspection. When we dropped the car off, I provided the Advisor the code and a associated TSB for the code.  We got the car back that day and were told the following: The tech found that the car currently has a \u201cAftermarket\u201d AGM battery.  Subarus require a \u201cEnhanced Flooded Battery\u201d which would explain multiple codes found for loss of communications and parasitic battery drain--for systems that don't go to \"sleep\" when the car is not running.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2022","productMake":"SUBARU","productModel":"OUTBACK","manufacturer":"Subaru of America, Inc."}]},{"odiNumber":11741463,"manufacturer":"Subaru of America, Inc.","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"05/31/2026","dateComplaintFiled":"06/02/2026","vin":"4S4BTANC1N3","components":"ELECTRICAL SYSTEM","summary":"I was in start and stop traffic in the left lane of a fast highway.

The material is visibly peeling and deteriorating despite the vehicle having only approximately 23,000 miles. The defective component is still installed on the vehicle and is available for inspection upon request.  While this issue has not yet caused a direct accident, it creates a potential safety concern due to possible water intrusion and degradation of sealing integrity in an area critical to protecting components beneath the windshield. Over time, this could lead to visibility issues, corrosion, or damage to surrounding systems.  The issue has been confirmed by an authorized Subaru dealership, which inspected the vehicle. Subaru of America also reviewed the case in coordination with the dealership.  Subaru of America has acknowledged that design changes were made to the cowl panel in later model years, but denied assistance for my vehicle.

This is a pervasive life-safety defect and an extensive failure in manufacturer inspection protocols.  Chain of Negligence:  1. Initial Misleading Certification: Shortly after my purchase, the vehicle underwent a \"certified\" multi-point safety inspection at a Subaru retailer in Ohio, which negligently certified the vehicle as safe with a critical safety defect present.  2. Systemic Dealer Misdiagnosis: Over the subsequent nearly two years, I took my vehicle to multiple other Subaru dealership service departments, actively showing them a persistent visual misalignment of the passenger-side trim. Despite active complaints, no dealership took the proper time to diagnose the underlying cause, and they missed the critical safety defect.  3. Discovery by Chance: Critically, there were no warning lights, messages, or other electronic indicators. The only symptom was the visual misalignment. The true cause was only traced back to the wrong part after I personally spoke with a Subaru parts department team member who was resourceful enough to figure it out. This finding was subsequently officially certified as correct by the service team at Mike Shaw Subaru, which finally provided documentation that the component was incorrect.  Safety Risk:  The incorrect airbag component poses an immediate and incalculable life-safety risk, as its deployment behavior is unknown and potentially compromised. This unaddressed safety risk was allowed to continue for nearly two years due to repeated inspection failures.

I have owned the vehicle for several weeks and have made numerous adjustments to the seat position in an effort to resolve the issue, but the pain has persisted. After researching reviews and feedback from other owners of the same model, I believe the problem may be related to the design and placement of the center console and pedal alignment.  Specifically, the center console appears to be quite large and positioned very close to the gas pedal, and/or the brake pedal seems to be shifted further to the left than expected. This positioning appears to cause my right knee to overextend when braking. Because I live in a city environment and frequently encounter stop-and-go traffic, this issue is constant and has become unmanageable.  Although I truly enjoy every other aspect of this vehicle, the ongoing pain makes it impossible for me to continue driving it comfortably or safely.

The car was parked in a private driveway facing the house, not the road. It started from the bottom edge of the windshield under the cowling and has made its way to the center of the windshield, and has since spidered out, moving both east & west on the windshield. I took the 2022 Outback Wilderness to Hania Subaru in Orange Park, Jacksonville, FL, where they said the extended warranty would not cover the replacement because it only covers cracks that start on the east or west sides of the windshield. Hania Subaru sent photos to Subaru of America stating that they would not replace the glass. SOA said they would donate a $1000 gift towards the replacement of the windshield only if it was replaced through a Subaru dealership, which Subaru Hania quoted $2067.61, which is $900 more than the going rate in the area, so with the $1000 gift from SOA, I would be paying more than the average for a windshield replacement despite the \"gifted $1000\" from SOA and they would be using the same glass manufacturer that the original faulty cracked glass came from. SOA said they would only gift me the amount for the glass replacement if I used a Subaru dealership and not a 3rd party company, and when I asked why the dealerships charged double what the average cost was, they said that the service Subaru offers is superior despite there being no warranty on the new glass or service. When I called Subaru of Hania and Subaru of Jacksonville about glass replacement, they both said they do not offer glass replacement in-house, but they outsource to a 3rd party company called Ameri Pro, which is the glass dealership that Subaru uses as stock. Ameri Pro handles the full job and would charge me $1452 to include the \"Subaru\" stamp on the glass and stamped parts, or they would charge me $764.38 for all the same parts, excluding the Subaru stamp. This issue goes even deeper.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2022","productMake":"SUBARU","productModel":"OUTBACK","manufacturer":"Subaru of America, Inc."}]},{"odiNumber":11682830,"manufacturer":"Subaru of America, Inc.","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"06/10/2025","dateComplaintFiled":"08/25/2025","vin":"4S4BTAMC1N3","components":"POWER TRAIN,ENGINE","summary":"We had had no issues at all with our 2022 Subaru Outback until June 2025.

Since purchasing the car new in April 2022, I have had 3 significantly cracked windshields; all of which propagated immediately after getting hit by a pebble mid-drive (not giving any opportunity to fix the chip). I am filing this complaint because I don\u2019t think it should be standard for a windshield to propagate a crack so easily and consistently every time it gets chipped (this seems statistically improbable compared to other cars) - and it\u2019s a legitimate hazard to visibility if I don\u2019t have ample opportunity to get the chip repaired to prevent it from propagating to a crack. Essentially I\u2019m saying that it\u2019s almost guaranteed that getting a chip will result in a foot long crack during the same drive (I say almost because I have been able to repair a chip before it was too late once). Furthermore, the crack will often double in size over night (presumably due to temperature changes) - which leads me to speculate that the windshield glass accumulated internal stresses during install due to poor design.  I have only replaced my windshield through official Subaru dealerships with their recommended glass vendor. I\u2019ve attached two photos from my most recent cracked windshield; the first is the crack that propagated immediately after the pebble hit while driving, and the second is after leaving the car overnight stationary.  Also note that this is usually at highway speeds; and i have effectively had 1.5 broken windshields per year of driving the car.

The mechanic report, issued 10Apr24, states the condition may be due to the brand new tires installed on 19Feb24.

The dealer said it was an impact however no impact of any kind occurred. I reported it to Corproate Subaru offices (Case#230120-1800472), who agreed to replace the windshield and the associated eyesight camera equipment, most likely because there are many incidences of this happening with their vehicles.

Again, no impact occurred and the crack was found after the vehicle was parked for about an hour after I attended a gallery opening. This time the dealer once again performed the same test performed in February (by using a pen that notes an indentation the size of a pinhead). Once again the crack starts from the edge of the windshield and extends through the line of vision by about 24\" which creates a severe safety issue, especially when driving at night. Although the Subaru Corporate office replaced the first incident of this, they are now saying with the new case I opened (Case 231204-1901299) that they won't replace the most recent incident, even when it is exactly the same as the first!

It seems to happen when I use Apple CarPlay (as this is the only way I listen to music and must plug in my phone using the USB to start CarPlay). The Infotainment screen has a long lag time to respond to clicks on the center screen, will freeze, and crash the system suddenly. The most extreme effect of this is that when the Infotainment screen crashes/freezes, the EyeSight safety features of the car such as Lane Keeping Assistance, Blind Spot Warning, Forward Crash Warning also stop working. I'll see all of the dashboard signals and notifications on the dashboard screen indicating the features are disabled. Additionally, I'm unable to control the AC when the screen crash happens. This happens while the vehicle is in operation and the vehicle user manual doesn't provide any troubleshoot options. Sometimes the screen will remain on after I've turned the car off. I can only hope the screen will shut off and restart after I've completely shut the car off to \"fix this\". There have been many times I've had to keep driving without the Eyesight safety features or AC when the screen crashes. I've tried to update the Infotainment screen myself with the supposedly \"over the air\" updates Subaru offers. It says my system is up to date even though I've found online Subaru service bulletins saying there are new software versions released. At my first six month dealer service, I asked about  released updates and the service manager denied the newest updates can be installed on my car (which is STILL less than a year old). I brought my vehicle to another subaru dealership with this issue and they said they are aware of it. The service manager also said that the software update only fixes about 20% of vehicles that have this issue and a full replacement of the center screen unit is likely needed. Why has the NHTSA not directed Subaru to issue a recall?","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2022","productMake":"SUBARU","productModel":"OUTBACK","manufacturer":"Subaru of America, Inc."}]},{"odiNumber":11535689,"manufacturer":"Subaru of America, Inc.","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"07/01/2023","dateComplaintFiled":"08/01/2023","vin":"4S4BTANC0N3","components":"ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,LANE DEPARTURE,BACK OVER PREVENTION","summary":"8/1/23 - the Electronic center console display as well as the display behind the steering wheel continually fails.

The first incident occurred when I was traveling on a highway. A small rock hit the driver's side of the windshield and immediately a crack developed. I had the windshield replaced. Within ten days, a crack appeared at the bottom center edge of the new windshield. It was not there when I parked my car at work, but it was there when I left for the day. I even reviewed security cameras but saw nothing that would contribute to the crack. A few days later, another crack emerged at the center edge of the passenger side. Again, this was while the car was parked. Neither crack was in my line of sight so I continued to drive until recently as both cracks have spidered all over the windshield. In scheduling another replacement Subaru tells me this is a result of the windshields with EyeSight being thinner than normal. I find this to be a safety hazard and extremely frustrating, not knowing how many windshields I will have to replace as long as I have this car. Looking online, I see many complaints of this same issue by other consumers of this year/model of car.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2022","productMake":"SUBARU","productModel":"OUTBACK","manufacturer":"Subaru of America, Inc."}]},{"odiNumber":11525933,"manufacturer":"Subaru of America, Inc.","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"05/24/2023","dateComplaintFiled":"06/07/2023","vin":"4S4BTGLD0N3","components":"VISIBILITY/WIPER","summary":"Windshield crack from bottom while driving","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2022","productMake":"SUBARU","productModel":"OUTBACK","manufacturer":"Subaru of America, Inc."}]},{"odiNumber":11525148,"manufacturer":"Subaru of America, Inc.","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"05/31/2023","dateComplaintFiled":"06/03/2023","vin":"4S4BTGUD1N3","components":"ELECTRICAL SYSTEM","summary":"1.

Fortunately these issues occurred out of traffic but the latest incident could prove hazardous if it occurred in traffic.  When the vehicle diagnostics are run it shows \"Normal\" and the problem remains unresolved.  I have also noted hesitation with the shifting during acceleration from day one of owning the vehicle.

It is working as designed but it is a serious safety concern that can not be addressed except by purposely bypassing the safety system or systems.  For whatever reason Subaru added rear seat belt chime alarms to the rear seats.  Three in total it appears.  Driver, passenger, and center.  The chimes will continue to grow louder until it blocks all radio and becomes a distraction.  In theory this is not a bad idea.  In practice it is a safety concern.   Subaru markets their vehicles as being pet friendly.  The issue is when I have my dog in the back seat the seat beat alarm continues to go of sporadically and she is not done growing yet.  I don't use harness/restraints but even if I did there would be no way to keep her in the correct position to not make the adjacent seat chime.  This is a major distraction while driving because I have to constantly take my eyes off the road and try to reposition her to stop the chime/alarm.  It is also putting others at risk as I am not focused on driving.  Problem confirmed by the dealer and Subaru (SOA) with no plan to fix except cut wires, buy seat belt buckles from Ebay to stick in holder, or clip seatbelts when not in use.  Concern is this will cause passengers to not buckle up due to the hassle.  Safety can't be an inconvenience or there is less chance it will be followed.  No police have been involved.

I believe the belt to have been furnished in a defective condition or there is a defect in the retracting apparatus.  There is no external cause of the fraying that I could determine.  The belt has been replaced by the dealer, Adventure Subaru, of Fayetteville, Arkansas.    A separate complaint will be submitted related to a 2019 Ascent we own that had  three belts replaced with nearly identical fraying patterns.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2022","productMake":"SUBARU","productModel":"OUTBACK","manufacturer":"Subaru of America, Inc."}]},{"odiNumber":11468477,"manufacturer":"Subaru of America, Inc.","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"06/09/2022","dateComplaintFiled":"06/09/2022","vin":"4s4btgpd3n3","components":"VISIBILITY/WIPER","summary":"Windshield cracked after 1,200 miles.

I also suspect that in extreme cold or as these vehicles age, this \"feature\" will become an extreme safety hazard.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2022","productMake":"SUBARU","productModel":"OUTBACK","manufacturer":"Subaru of America, Inc."}]},{"odiNumber":11429098,"manufacturer":"Subaru of America, Inc.","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"08/11/2021","dateComplaintFiled":"08/14/2021","vin":"4S4BTGUDXN3","components":"VISIBILITY/WIPER","summary":"A little penny sized chip on the front windshield has turned into a severe crack from the middle of the windshield to passenger side as well as the the driver side.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2022","productMake":"SUBARU","productModel":"OUTBACK","manufacturer":"Subaru of America, Inc."}]},{"odiNumber":11429109,"manufacturer":"Subaru of America, Inc.","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"07/31/2021","dateComplaintFiled":"08/14/2021","vin":"4S4BTADC3N3","components":"ENGINE","summary":"The initial incident occurred on July 31, 2021.  I used the push button start to start the car, put the vehicle in reverse, and the vehicle proceeded to roll uncontrolled down my driveway, which is on a slope.  I had no power steering or power brakes.  I was able to safely stop the vehicle with no incident other than damage to the plastic over the right rear taillight.  I turned the vehicle off and restarted it, and everything seemed operational.  It seemed that the car's engine had not turned on, only the electrical system.    The same issue happened repeatedly over the next few days.  In observing what was happening, I have noticed that the push button ignition requires a significant press in order for the vehicle to start correctly - quite different from my experience with our previous two push-button start vehicles.    In the \"Getting Started Guide, Outback 2022\", p. 41, instructions clearly state \"briefly press and release the Engine START/STOP button.\"  I submit that this is inaccurate, and that new vehicle owners should be advised as to what to do, and what to look for in the dashboard to understand that the vehicle engine has, in fact, started properly.    I am a user experience researcher, including in automotive research, and we have an expression that there's no such thing as user error, just poor design.  This is a clear example of poor design.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2022","productMake":"SUBARU","productModel":"OUTBACK","manufacturer":"Subaru of America, Inc."}]},{"odiNumber":11426401,"manufacturer":"Subaru of America, Inc.","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"07/25/2021","dateComplaintFiled":"07/25/2021","vin":"4S4BTAMC1N3","components":"ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,UNKNOWN OR OTHER","summary":"2022 Subaru Outback is new as of June 2021.   2 times I have had to get a jump start.

Vehicle was being operated on State Highway Route 55 at Milepost 46.7, in Elk Township, Gloucester County.  Traffic was heavy, with southbound transient traffic traveling to New Jersey Shore points.  Vehicle simultaneously lost power and began to display several error/warning messages on dashboard at approximately 13:52 hours.    Vehicle was pulled to the right shoulder of the roadway and I began to smell something burning.  As I removed personal effects from vehicle I exited and saw smoke coming from the passenger's side wheel well.  I walked back approximately 100 feet and called 911, by time a dispatcher came answered, the engine compartment of the vehicle was completely engulfed in flames.    No modifications of any kind were done to the vehicle since its purchase.  I was the sole occupant of the vehicle and not injured.  The vehicle is fully insured and payments are current.  It's mileage at the time of the incident are 3,042.  That information along with the error messages were provided through the Subaru Starlink App.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2022","productMake":"SUBARU","productModel":"OUTBACK","manufacturer":"Subaru of America, Inc."}]}]}
