  1. Problems & DIY Maintenance
    Hi, the passenger heated seat switch fell inside the console of my Outback. I tried fishing around but can't locate and don't want to disconn or destroy anything. Even if I manage to get a hold of it with the long small grabbing tool I have, I'm not sure I can extract it and get it to stay...

    I was driving down the mountains in CO and didn't remove the parking brake after our hike. Got mostly down the mountain and got the christmas tree lighting. I drove the car to the shop and they said it was a loose parking brake spring and replaced that and the back rotors and brakes because they...

    Hey everyone, so I was looking to get black OEM subaru wheels on my outback and most (if not all) of the bolt patterns for these are 5x114.3. I have the obvious 5x100 bolt pattern on mine and wanted to see if a hub adapter would give me any issues when turing the front wheels. The tires would...

    On the Tire Pressure warning light, I just bought an outback 2012 25i and the light is constantly on. I have made sure tire pressures are fine, but still, after hours of driving, the warning light is on. In an effort to reset the TPMS, I can not even find the button. Supposedly it should be...
  5. Problems & DIY Maintenance
    Hello all, I've been trying to work with both* my local Subaru dealership and trusted family mechanic to solve the leaking issue in my coolant overflow tank for the last 3-4 months. Some history: While coming back from a 2 hour road trip sometime in November of 2021, I noticed that my A/C shut...

    Hello. My 2012 Subaru Outback has all of its sensor lights(check engine,oil, water radio) blinking on and off but drives fine. I brought it in to a local Subaru dealership and the person stated that it might be my transmission. My question is would all of the lights blinking be an indication of...

  8. Lighting, Electrical & Electronics
    My wife suggests that we upgrade the lighting in the Low Beams so that it is brighter like the LED bulbs in the 2006 Toyota Sequoia. My question is: Should I be looking at the HID bulbs or have the LED bulbs become more Plug and Play than they used to be? Thanks.
  9. Problems & DIY Maintenance
    Hello, I noticed recently that my 2012 3.6R 6AT seems to shift up too early/at lower rev (~2500). What could be the root cause for this type of symptom? I haven't checked the trans-fluid yet, could low transmission fluid cause this? Does low-trans fluid have light sensor on the dashboard or I...

    Ok, so its a 2012 Outback with the 6 speed manual, with appx 155,000 miles. I was having some some serious issues with not being able to get into 5th or 6th gear, so moved over the shift plate a hair, and that solved things for about 1 month. About a month later, only had 1st and 2nd...
  11. Engine & Drivetrain
    I have a 3rd Gen (2012 Outback Limited) with 180k. I left the driveway and did not notice that my radiator sprung a monster leak until I had driven a mile. Various lights on the dash alerted me to a problem. The car started to struggle with shifting simultaneously with the dash lights'...
  12. Forum Rules, New Member Information & Intro.
    Hello all! Just wanted to introduce myself. I live in the Dayton area and I purchased a used 2012 Outback 2.5 Premium in May after my insurance totaled my (just paid off) 2015 Nissan Versa. It has 275,000 miles on it but it still looks pretty good. I've recently encountered an issue with a...

    Hello was wondering if anyones 2012 outback would shake sometimes during accelerating for a few seconds then return to normal. However it also will do it in idle for a few seconds then return to normal. I notice it more on warmer days. If anyone has an idea of what it could be that would be a...

    I just bought my 2011 OB and it appears to have a 2012 radio model in it. For the LIFE of me I cannot figure out how to adjust the bass/treble level, and whoever owned this car last turned the bass up super high. I’m not really good with these kind of things and would appreciate any help! This...

    Hi, brand new to this forum & first Subaru. 2012 Outback, 97K miles. It starts vibrating (up and down more than side to side) at 30 mph - felt most strongly at 30-40, but is always there, just “faster & smaller” vibrating at higher speeds. The steering needs near constant minor adjusting while...

    I am selling my 2012 Suby. Bought it with salvage title back in 2016 with 43k miles, and drove it to 101k. Don't ask me why it was salvaged, as I never was able to figure it out from previous owner. From the looks of it, the rear left quarter may have been replaced as paint does not match...
