Every Outback R I've driven (with the 3.0 or 3.6 H6) exhibited clunking drive lines or "growling" felt through the steering wheel. An guessing it's additional slop/noise from the center differential. Amazing that Subaru has been unable or unwilling to fix this.

I am contemplating an '11 - 12 Outback 3.6R but without the fix, I'm loathe to acquire one given this problem has popped on other Subaru forums. Unlike the Forester, the Outback seems to produce more front end "grumbling" that a driver can feel through its steering wheel.

I changed the anti-feeze and used Subaru's special conditioner at 25,000 and 50,000 miles. All maintenance exceeded Subaru specifications. Subaru corporate offered to pay for half of the repair. I was told by the dealer when I purchased my Outback that Subaru "fixed" the head gasket problem with the 2003 model year.

I have a question about the antilock braking system on my 2010 Outback 2.5i Premium CVT. I have owned several Hondas with antilock brakes so I am familiar with how the system is supposed to work. However, when I try to stop the Outback on a slick surface and the ABS activates, the there is considerably more noise and rough feel than I am used to.

I have a 2002 Subaru limited Outback with 99,000 miles on it. I went out to warm the car and turned the heater to low and let it sit 10 minutes. Took off to take Daughter to work and got halfway there and noticed that the car temp gauge went up significantly and there was a smell of gas and oil inside the car.

Wes, Like your problems with the inadequately sized new battery in your Outback, the 5 year old battery in our Honda kept glitching the electrical system. In it's final week of life it would start, but the draw would knock out subsystem processors, like to the power doors, some dash indicators, transmission interlock and the like.

2012年8月10日 · I finally took my car to the Subaru dealership. It was the head cylinder gasket. I also had leakage from the right inner axel boot and right power steering rack. So all these items are being fixed to the tune of $3200.00. The mechanic said that the head gasket is a common problem for Subarus over 100,000 miles. I have 188,000 miles on my subaru.
