Subaru Tribeca Lighting problems by year

I have had 3 Subarus in the last 2 years. All 3-a 2006 Subaru Tribeca B9, a 2007 Subaru Tribeca B9, and a 2014 Subaru Crosstrek have had electrical and lighting problems. They all have burnt out headlights, interior lights and fog lights, have loose wiring that has affected the computer and navigation system. 2 of them lost all lighting. The Subaru Crosstrek burnt out all the lights in one incident and the 2007 Subaru Tribeca B9 had an alternator problem that fried all the lights at one time as well as the navigation system. They all have more lights lit on the dash than there should be.

Headlamps burn out and cause shorting on other electrical components like blower fan, windows and etc. I change headlamps every 1-2 months sometimes sooner, and now I'm forced to change the electrical components that are effected by this shorting issue!!!!!!

Low beams both went out on 2006 tribecca have had to replace them several times before. They only last about 5 months. Never had any vehicle burn out head lights like this one before. They both went out on a rainy foggy night so we could not use high beams. Subaru should step up and fix this problem. This is an expensive car it should have reliable basic safety equipment. *Tr
