2015 Subaru Outback 4dr Wagon
175-horsepower 2.5L H4 6-speed shiftable CVT AWD
| 55000 mi | Replace windshield |
| 52000 mi US $400 |
Windshield cracked while parked, starting at the base on the passenger side, spreading across the windshield in the line of vision. |
| 94000 mi US $495 |
The windshield cracked on its own. Second time this has happened. First time the dealer covered it. Second time they blamed it on a rock that was never seen nor heard, so we had to file a claim against our insurance and pay nearly $500 out of pocket. |
| 85000 mi US $220 |
Trunk struts replaced. |
| 110000 mi US $150 |
Car was making weird noise. Called dealer and described. They asked if I had driven on gravel recently. Answered yes. They removed heat shield. Wondering if they replaced it. I’m guessing gravel caught in it and perhaps it could have worked it’s way out. Oh well, no noise now. |
| 27900 mi | Power liftgate was making a lot of noise when opening and closing as if it was getting stuck with a big clunk. Apparently there was a recall or a TSB for the motor assembly which was applied during my regular maintenance visit. The problem is now gone. |
| 41000 mi | Cracked windshield due to defective adhesive was replaced under extended warranty. |
| 5000 mi | Gas cap door latch failed to open |
| 12000 mi | Eye Sight programming was updated to prevent possible accidents. |
| 17500 mi | The windshield has a 20 inch crack; there is no chip in the glass and I don't remember anything hitting the windshield. The crack began at the glue edge. It may be a stress crack associated with the new acoustic windshield (new for 2015). |
| 25700 mi | Subaru replaced my windshield for the second time at no cost to me. They installed a Subaru windshield rather than the one that came with my car. No more problems. Subaru sent me 2 gifts to compensate me for my problems. |
| 12000 mi | Driver's side exterior mirror was misaligned after going thru dealer's car wash due to being knocked off a clip. Quick easy fix by dealer. |
| 29000 mi | Fuel door was not opening and closing properly |
| 8000 mi US $500 |
Windshield broke due to manufacturing defect. I received a letter from Subaru to be reimburse for the expenses. |
| 62000 mi | Windshield fluid hose rut and broke |
| 6000 mi | Gasoline cap cover is not opening properly. Dealer has tried three times to fix it, but it is still not working perfectly |
| 28000 mi | One of the struts on the rear lift gate went bad. It was unable to hold the gate open. The dealer replaced the strut. |
| The gas cap door was difficult to open. They replace the whole assembly. There is a service bulletin on this issue. The repair took 1.5 hours |
| 9000 mi | Voice recognition on navigation system not functioning properly. |
