This makes four 2013 3.6's, all with under 250 miles on them. It could be that with the revised and stiffer suspension there is less slippage of the tires and the drive train starts to lock up, setting off all the warning lights. It may not be the trans at all, but the all wheel drive control is over reacting. Anyway, I just reset everthing and have no problems. I am of the opinion that that this is really a not issue, except for all the dash lights going off and scare effect it has. I have to say that it got me at first, but with six 4 wheel vehicle's plus one 4 wheel drive tractor, I have never seen such a dash light show as with the 2013 Outback.

Got to be a glitch with the redesigned tranny. Sucks, but it happens...

Edit: NVM, just realized 3.6, not the 2.5 with the new CVT. Still sucks, but even more odd, then. The 5 speed's been around for a while, you would think they shook the bugs out already.

Best of luck.

Thanks reddoak, will be keeping an eye on it..

I picked up my new 2013 on Friday and on Monday drove it to the dealership because of CEL. Apparently, TSB 16-80-11R is being performed on the vehicle as we speak. Just waiting for parts to arrive.

My old vehicle was resold in NH from the dealer I purchased- Was sold as a "certified..." Havent had any issues with the new one, now over 1700 miles. Did notice that my original vin was D221XXXX Replacement was D220XXXX Wondering if the issue is vehicles coming off the line more recently.
