| 2007 | TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM | OUR 2007 SUBARU OUTBACK FISHTAILS ALL OVER THE PLACE ON ICY ROADS THAT ALL OTHER VEHICLES SAFELY TRAVEL ON AT TWICE THE SPEED AS WE ARE ABLE TO DO IN OUR OUTBACK. THIS ISN'T THE DRIVER OR THE TIRES. THIS IS THE CAR. I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE WITH ANY OTHER CAR I HAVE EVER OWNED (HONDA CRV, SATURN SW2, 2WD GMC S-15, CHEVY CORSICA) AND I HAVE DRIVEN IN SIMILAR CONDITIONS MANY TIMES. IT IS MISERABLE AND FEELS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN YOU DON'T FEEL IN CONTROL OF YOUR VEHICLE AT 30 MPH ON ICY ROADS THAT EVERYONE ELSE IS TRAVELING 50-60 MPH ON. I'VE ONLY EXPERIENCED THE PROBLEM WHEN THE CAR IS FULLY LOADED. THE CAR FEELS EXTREMELY STABLE ON SNOWPACK AND DRY/WET PAVEMENT. BUT AS SOON AS ROADS HAVE SOME ICE ON THEM, THIS CAR BECOMES GARBAGE (JUST WHEN YOU NEED A CAR TO BE AT IT'S BEST). I HAVE WITNESSED THIS EVENT TWICE NOW IN LESS THAN 2 YEARS OF OWNERSHIP. ONCE IN CENTRAL ILLINOIS, AND ONCE IN NORTHERN COLORADO. THESE ARE ALSO THE ONLY TWO ICY ROAD CONDITIONS THAT THIS CAR HAS BEEN ON. I WOULD EXPECT THIS VEHICLE TO BEHAVE THIS SAME MISERABLE WAY EVERY TIME AS IT HAS EXHIBITED THIS CHARACTERISTIC 100% OF THE TIME ON ICY HIGHWAY ROADS. *TR |
| 2010 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE | I HAVE A 2010 SUBARU OUTBACK PZEV 6-SP MANUAL. THE ENGINE WILL SOMETIMES STALL (4 TIMES AND COUNTING, IN THE PAST 4 MONTHS) WHEN THE CLUTCH IS DEPRESSED TO SLOW DOWN FOR A STOP SIGN OR LIGHT. ALSO AT TIMES THE ENGINE WILL STUMBLE WHEN THE CLUTCH IS DEPRESSED FOR UPSHIFTS (NUMEROUS TIMES OVER THE MONTHS). THE PROBLEM IS AGGRAVATED WHEN THE A/C IS ON. THIS STALL PROBLEM CAN HAPPEN AT ANY SPEED, MOST NOTABLY AT 70KPH IN 4TH GEAR - SHIFTING TO NEUTRAL WHILE APPROACHING A RED LIGHT. THE ORANGE AND RED DASH LIGHTS WILL COME ON, STEERING AND BRAKING BECOME HEAVY, THE A/C SHUTS OFF WHILE THE FAN CONTINUES TO RUN AND A RESTART WITH THE KEY IS NECESSARY. THANK GOD THIS HAS NOT YET HAPPENED ON AN ON-RAMP OR OFF-RAMP. *TR |
