2021 Subaru Outback 4dr Wagon

turbocharged 260hp 2.4L H4 8-speed shiftable CVT AWD

14807 mi Infotainment system replacement due to system randomly freezing and/or rebooting 
8000 mi Updated central system operating navigation etc. Subsequent to update, everything works flawlessly. 
7000 mi Replaced GPS/radio module 
6000 mi HVAC Compressor line worn through because of rubbing against intercooler. Tech replaced/rerouted new line and recharged system. Infotainment/Nav system operation very erratic. System frequently delays responding to touch commands, reboots itself, locks out functions such as radio (soft restart of system sometimes restores function - turning vehicle off and on also helps restore function). 
9653 mi Head unit spontaneously shut down. All systems controlled by head unit (radio, A/C, Eye Drive systems e.g. adaptive cruise) also went offline. System restarted automatically. This has happened several times. Dealer updated system MFI OBDII Update, and ECU update. Problem persists. Stay Tuned....
