Subaru Outback Wilderness Problems by year

Sunday morning, [redacted]. [[redacted]] had a frost that morning due to cold temperatures, my family and I woke up to go to church that morning and the windshield on my 2025 Subaru Outback was iced over so I started the car and turned the defroster on. A couple minutes later I got in the car to drive to church and noticed there was a crack in the front windshield starting from the bottom and going halfway up. There was no rock chip and no impact spot on the car. And it was not damaged the night before when I got...

After refueling, that is a period of time where there is hesitation and sputtering with the engine. It is a problem due to not being able to fully accelerate into traffic. No warning lamps or messages noted. This has not been seen by a dealership for this. This has becoming more of an issue happening most every time I fill up.

I am writing to complain about the forward crash system breaking being applied in situations that are more dangerous than the potential for no breaking to have been applied. The problem has occurred several times as vehicles are turning from my lane to the right (with approximately 50' between vehicles), it applies the break hard enough to stop me and if there had been a vehicle behind me they would have likely hit me. The system has also applied the break while i was driving on the expressway at 75mph with no vehicles in front of me.

• Symptom: Total electrical and mechanical shutdown at highway speed (70 mph) immediately following the manual disengagement/deactivation of the cruise control system. • Behavior: Complete loss of engine power, power steering assist, braking assist, and all instrument cluster functionality. • Post-Incident Diagnostic: An OBD-II code reader scan registered zero active, pending, or historic DTCs, indicating an instantaneous loss of primary ECU/ECM power or a critical grounding drop rather than a sensor-driven component fault.

The auto start/stop function on my vehicle malfunctioned while I was in heavy traffic. The auto start/stop function shut off while stopped in beltway traffic but did not start again when it was time to begin moving again. The dashboard lights flashed and I attempted to turn the car off and restart it, but the vehicle would not start. This was a serious safety issue because I was stranded in a busy highway lane with cars passing at high speed on both sides, unable to safely exit the car or move the car out of the...

At only 800 miles of ownership, the moonroof had a leak that allowed water penetration into the cabin.
