Regarding the e-brake: definitely see if you can adjust it. Hopefully that's all it needs. If the tension changes on it without you adjusting it, or it feels like the brake is still partially applied, you could have more issues. I found with my OB that the handle wasn't really doing anything because the cable was jacked up, and never disengaged the e-brake from the right rear wheel. But that's another story: http://www.subaruoutback.org/forums/66-problems-maintenance/52425-handbrake-keeps-adjusting.html
New 07 Owner - ebrake and hood latch issues ...
I recently got my 07 Outback, selling my 02 Outback Sport (different, sad story) and I am not as happy (honestly) with this car - yet. Here are my issues.
Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated
- in cold weather, the hood doesn't close all the way. anyone know how to adjust the catch?
- passenger headlight has burned out twice in the three months I've had the, I think its related to how hard I have to slam the hood to close it (see issue 1) but anyone have this issue or an idea what to look for
- e-brake makes a loud clanking sound - like when a loose tension wire is hitting the under carriage when pulled tight. This only happens when the car is moving and I simulate the need to use the e-brake, or when I want to execute a e-brake turn in a snow filled parking lot. And the e-brake is "soft" in that it doesn't feel like there is any tension on it since it doesn't seem to do anything until it is almost pointing straight up.
Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated
