i just noticed a noise today on my 2013 3.6R outback. it sounded exactly like a pebble hitting the windshield on the fwy, but it came from outside below the driver side door. at first i thought it was a pebble hitting my windshield and ignored it. then it happened three more times and noticed that the noise really come from outside of the driver side. the noise is fairly loud. it happened intermitenly. i heard it four times in a 40-minute drive. i have no idea what its. this is the first i heard any odd noise from my OB. i've had it for about a month and it has about 1k miles. has anyone heard a similar noise from their OB? thx

had you been driving on gravel recently? Did you feel anything when this happened? was the road surface uneven/bumpy? were you turning or using the brakes?
all happened at the same location four times? i suppose that could happen. i just find it odd.
no..had been sitting in the garage the last few days. this happened both on inner city roads and freeway. normal driving, nor braking, no turning.
if it really happens roughly every 10-15 minutes regardless of temp or road conditions, then drop it off at the steal - uh, dealership and tell the service writer the tech should drive it home and back to work the next day.

Low beam bulb change cost at dealership
Gen 4: 2010-2014Hi all. I have changed each low beam bulb on my 2011 outback and it's no fun. Also this is the only auto I've ever owned that I've had to replace bulbs on. The last time I changed the bulbs, the passenger side ended up "pointing wrong", limiting illumination. As I hate changing the bulbs I...- 11

Is anyone interested in a HK stereo mod write-up?
Gen 4: 2010-2014I have a plan to improve the dreaded HK audio system in my 2013 OB. The idea is to keep everything looking stock (stealth) but to reduce the muddy bass, install a real subwoofer, and improve the upfront sound stage. Options for dash speakers are extremely limited, so I have decided to keep the...- 11

First Road Trip in 2013 OB. Are these number normal?
Gen 4: 2010-2014As the title suggests, I did my first road trip yesterday and noted some interesting things. I only averaged 26.7 MPG (computer said 26.4). When I first started (around 60 to 65 MPH), the computer was reporting 29.1 MPG. When I started encountering mild hills, the number dropped to 28.2. Then...- 33
