2014 Subaru Outback 4dr Wagon
256-horsepower 3.6L H6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD
| 18800 mi | replaced navigation/audio system; discovered defect is with design. navigation/audio has too many significant design problems; selling back the car as a lemon |
| 15000 mi | Blown fuse replaced, but problem still exists and I have to return to the dealer. |

| 15700 mi | When AC compressor is on, car makes a "brushing" noise. |
| 22000 mi | AC compressor continues to make intermittent noise when running. Dealer acknowledges the problem but thinks six cylinders Oubacks may make the noise. Have contacted Subaru for resolution. |
| 36000 mi | AC has continued to make intermittent noise. They replaced the condenser but this did not fix the issue. The next step is to dissemble the dash to see if they can find the source of the noise. |
| 39000 mi | AC still made intermittent noise. They replaced the AC compressor and also needed to replace the serpentine belt. No AC sound so far but need more time to make sure that the repair worked. |
| 41300 mi | Still made AC noise intermittently. They recharged the AC system. I do not know if this fixed the issue. |

| 19000 mi | The dealer and to re-repair the previous issue because they installed a used resister that proved to also be defective. |
