3rd Generation Outback ('05-'09) Dashboard question

Featured Replies

Hello all,

I took my wife's 2005 Outback to the dealer about 2 years ago for a recall-mandated swap of the passenger-side airbag.

 

Ever since then, the dash has been super-noisy -- creaks, squeaks, all kinds of noises -- when it's hot outside, when it's cold outside, just about any time. I'd like to figure out what's going on and fix it.

 

Theory: the dealer takes the whole dash out to do the job, and they didn't tighten things up properly when reinstalling the dash. Thoughts? Comments? Suggestions?

 

Tired of the creaky dashboard in Watertown, Mass.

Yes, dash has to come out for that repair.

Talk to the dealer, they should make it right.

2 yrs down the line? they might make it right, they might not..

had the OP gone back right away, yeah, it most likely would have been made right, but 2 yrs later.. kind of a toss up. Worth trying at least, the worst they can do is say no.
