SubPar Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 (edited) Subaru issued a recall for that exact problem on 2002-2003 Impreza wagons. I'm not sure if the recall also covers Outbacks. It's recall #WVD-14. Edited November 18, 2008 by SubPar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2000outback Posted November 18, 2008 Author Share Posted November 18, 2008 What is the best route for contacted Subaru to tell them I have the same problem on my Outback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suzam Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 I'd head to the dealer and speak with the service manager first. See what he says, then ask for the best way to contact SOA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
