I already spoke to the sales guy about bailing and he said they would work with me. If the dealer had something in another OB model or even a Honda that struck me, I would most likely bail on this car. The Outback Limited has a much better trim package than that Honda and the OB probably has better speakers (Harman Kardon). So I take the Honda out for a drive and the CVT is smooth, none of the jerkiness of my Outback. We have a 2011 Honda CR-V EX-L and it hasn't lost a drop of coolant and has not seen a shop since we bought it 3 years ago. Last week while at the dealer AGAIN waiting in their service department I saw a 2015 Honda CR-V EX-L for sale in their lot. There was no odd CVT issues, idled well with AC turned on, lift gate was much smoother, etc. recently I test drove another OB Limited, it was a 2016. Not sure if I got all of the issues but in a way I keep expecting another shoe to drop. This is from a subbie forum and it is my big worry 'I have a 2015 Outback Limited with 38,000 miles that had a leaky head gasket.' Errr! Yes I know how the reservoir works. So what do they say about coolant, they explain the ebb and flow of hot cold coolant in the reservoir. I told him I do most all my own work, I've replace Jaguar engines, Subbie engines, replaced timing belts and everything in between. The service manager is aware that I know about cars. Engine management of modern cars lean or enrich to make up for the load but ? Rough idle on hot days with AC turned on. Not fixed.Įlectric lift gate will at times stick, won't go up. It is a push button start and I could barely press the pedal enough for the switch to activate the ignition.

Two times I've gotten into the car after it sat for several days and the brake pedal was full to the top. Multiple occasions I've had to put coolant into the reservoir and I can at times on hot days smell coolant Not 100% to my liking but maybe I'm not a fan of the CVT.

They fixed it.ĬVT had flare and shuddering after warmed up - they did a TCM update and it is better. Than it was the fuel filler that wouldn't close (TSB for it). Another check point that someone forgot to check. Next morning after purchasing the car, I check the reservoir and it is 99% empty. I thought the car was very comfortable, clean etc. I tell the sales guy these brakes have air in them.

Onto the road and I try the brakes, they go 75% of the way to the floor. Remember this is a Certified Subbie with the 152 point inspection. I think I am hyper sensitive because inside of me I am not sure I made a wise choice. Now if only Subaru would update the radio so that it works correctly with Sirius. Little did I know those squiggly lines were a sign of a dying radio. The radio needed to be replaced and was bad from the beginning. Yes I have been in contact with SOA and they are very helpful. To me the big question that nobody has a definitive answer for is - why? So to all the people taking their cars to the dealer for oil changes, they just won't know if it needed coolant. If you take your car to a subbie dealer they top off fluids, check tires, etc. I wonder how many people even think about the coolant.

'Owners of Subaru Forester, Outback, Crosstrek, Impreza and Legacy are getting compensation from Subaru from the oil consumption lawsuit filed against them' For a long time the oil consumption problem was not accepted by Subaru and I think it was a Class Action that made Subaru take notice. To me, if one subbie loses coolant and the other doesn't that points to engineering / design problem.

He needed a half block installed (reason unknown) and after the new half block install, the mysterious coolant disappearance ended. It doesn't make you a bit inquisitive why the Legacy doesn't seem to lose anything but the other Subbie does lose coolant? On a Subbie forum I was reading a post from a guy that had the mysterious coolant disappering problem. So because of this mystery loss I want to find a coolant to use in the Outback that doesn't cost so much. Car isn't over heating, I can smell coolant outside the car on hot days but they tell me everything is normal. There are people on the Subaru forum that call me overly worried but I never had a car that was reported to be in good shape - lose coolant. The dealer pressure tested the car, it lost 2 pounds in 10 minutes - dealer says it is within specs. I'm going to need this because in June I bought the Outback with 36,000 miles on it, I have a mysterious coolant loss. So is there an alternative or what is the scoop on the Supre-cool. At $26 a jug it seems an excessive price. My 2013 Outback Subaru says to use Subaru Super-cool. I can get a case of Mobil for the price of a few bottle from the dealer. Someone found that Mobil's 3309 is re-branded for Volvo. I know that my Volvo dealer wanted me to use their expensive ATF but the Volvo forum outsmarted them.
