2016 Subaru Outback 4dr Wagon
175-horsepower 2.5L H4 6-speed shiftable CVT AWD
| 27000 mi | Replace Tires before FL trip |
| 36000 mi | Passenger window would regularly roll down on its own. Inspected and replaced guide channels for window, which acted as resistance and caused window to not roll up properly. |
| 57600 mi | Hydraulic struts on tailgate found to be defective. Symptoms were rattling at speed and inconsistent tailgate operation. Replaced under Subaru extended warranty. |
| 10000 mi | Tire Pressure Monitor light came on. Outside temps had dropped to mid 30's F, I think. Checked four tires and they were only about two psi low. Checked the spare tire and it was 10 psi low. Pumped up all tires. Drove to dealer |
| Gas cap wouldn't open. Have to push button while a 2nd person pried open cap. They loosened spring. Now it usually works but occasionally still won't open. |
| The front passenger seat belt was overly sensitive and would lock up too easily. Subaru diagnosed it as a defective seatbelt assembly. Replace under warranty at no cost. |
