    My old car was becoming more expensive to repair than it was worth. I owned it for 8 years and accumulated over 300k miles in that time. The 2018 Outback will be my new daily driver, it was at 43K miles when I picked it up a little over a week ago. I don't think it's been modded. My daily...

    I do not have the key fob with the rounded arrow specifically for remote starting my vehicle but, I was reading in the instruction manual and it gave directions on how to use the factory key fob to remote start the car. (A combination of hitting the lock button in some way.) However, upon trying...

    Hi all! I just purchased a 2023 Outback Limited this past Saturday and went to set up the MySubaru app, put in my vehicle's VIN number, and someone else's email shows up as still connected to the car. Have any of you ever run into this? We bought from a dealership so definitely going to reach...
  5. Problems & DIY Maintenance
    I have a Subaru Outback 2004, 3.0. A while back, the central locking mechanism in my car ceased to function. Neither the master key nor the driver's door switch seems to have any effect when attempting to lock or unlock the doors. Interestingly, when I press the keys to initiate the...

    Hey folks, My Outback has been in the NE USA all its life, so there's more than usual rust on her. 166 000 miles on the clock. Recently the engine light would flash at high rpms (getting thrills on open roads), and then it flashed a few times and stayed on under those conditions. It brings up...

    I just recently rebuilt an EJ253 from a 2003 2.5 Subaru Outback. After stripping the engine down to the last bolt, I learned I had melted a crank bearing, and warped one of my connecting rods where the bearing wore out. Here's a list of new parts and small mods done to restore the engine...

    My Outback has an annoying vibration issue that seems to come and go. When I get on the highway, it sometimes develops a shimmy that gets worse above ~50-55 mph. The shimmy can go on for a few minutes and get bad enough that it feels like the whole car is shaking, not just the steering wheel...
  9. Problems & DIY Maintenance
    Good afternoon everyone! I wanted to ask people way more knowledgeable than me for a second opinion. I purchased a 2022 Subaru Outback new a couple years ago and love it. However the past three months, the automatic lift gate will occasionally misbehave. It will start to open, get about a...

    Hey first off I'd like to say thank you to those who got me to this point in a previous thread. Over night my car sat and in the morning the gas light was flashing and there was no transmission sensor communication. After replacing the cluster my car registered back in park, and the gas gauge...

    Is anyone using a vertical bike rack on a 2020+ Subaru Outback? Car is 2022 Outback Onyx XT with no mods except using all-terrain Falken AT3 tires. I saw a long (and great) thread on which hitch to choose, so not asking about that. Also not asking about which rack to choose. But add info if...

    Both my wife and I have 15' OB's. One with Eyesight, one without. Her Hatch makes its way up to the top, then comes down 2 inches and makes a long beep. My Hatch makes clicking noises (Sounds like the Hatch Motor, but not 100% sure.) and sounds like it is dying. I have been looking at Rockauto...

    Greetings! What are my options for replacing the rear struts/shocks? What else should be done at the same time to avoid double work in the future? Thanks in advance. Rob.

    Good day, I'm keen to black out my OEM grille but I'm saving the painting as a last resort because I'll probably destroy the whole car trying to just paint a grille😂 I've found these on ebay but the problem I'm having is that none of the sellers ship to New Zealand. Does anyone on here know how...
  16. Outback Shopping
    Hi, Newbie to the forum, looking forward to engaging with the community. We are shopping for our 2nd car and have narrowed our options to the Outback or Passport. We test drive both of them and liked both. The Outback was smooth and techy, while the Passport was quieter and solid/sporty ride...

    Hey all - 2010 Subaru Outback 2.5 A few lights are lit up on my dash ( engine, brake is flashing, cruise flashing, traction control). Auto Zone diagnostic recommends changing my Oxygen Sensor. Both upstream and after the cat convertor I assume? Finances are pretty tight so how necessary is...

    Have a 2019 Outback, the front speakers do not play and when connected to Apple Carplay, can not listen or talk on a phone call. Appreciate any advice that can be given.
  20. Problems & DIY Maintenance
    Why the heck did they design the bumper to be nearly impossible to move when inserting/removing the hitch pin? I need to bend the plastic back so far I fear causing a stress fracture. This was a factory installed hitch. I've done it a few times bit just can't seem to do it again for this Hitch...
