Disappointed

[SKC]

Hello  first time Subaru owner. 21 outback. Super disappointed.  Three times in shop in first months.  Two tires wheel bearings bad, the screen is a nightmare of problems. Super sad I ventured away from Toyota.

Anything you like about it?

hope they get it fixed-up. "Infant Mortality" is a real effect with manufactured items and often, after the first glitches are taken care of, reliability settles down.

if you think the issues are extreme, check into your State's Lemon Laws in case you need to make a claim.

Subaru may just be in a hurry, I read they were down to 6 days of inventory.

Sorry you’ve got a bad one. Give warranty a chance to work out the kinks - that’s what it is for.

All of my Subarus are from the 80's and still going strong... give it a chance to work out the "New Car" bugs

I’d be looking into the Lemon laws of your area and sticking it to the dealership. 

Subarus have the same build quality as Toyota’s, just without the typical “Toyota Tax”. 

Hold the dealer to account if the lemon law allows you to. It’s not good enough for a new vehicle of any sort to be in the workshop for much more than a general service with an oil change.

Wheel bearings bad.   Guessing that they (like everyone else) in last two decades, went to sealed hub assemblies??
