    The hood latch has failed repeatedly causing the hood to become unlatched while driving, presumably risking the hood flying up and impairing visibility. A different subaru model was recalled for this failure but not the outback model (2009 or other). This keeps happening.

    Takata recall - the letter from nhtsa via subaru re. The recall was misleading. 1. It said the repair would take approx. 1 hour 48 minutes. It took all day. I unexpectedly had to leave the car overnight at great inconvenience to me. 2. The directive not to let anyone ride in the front passenger seat was impossible because we have four people and only one car! Also, this obviously means i have been driving a…

    Road conditions: poor, icy. Vehicle: 2009 subaru outback wagon loaded with 4 passengers (2 adult, 2 teen, plus "light" luggage). When the vehicle passed over an icy patch, the car swayed from side to side violently. On subaru forum websites, this type of loss of control is termed "ghost walking" which is an odd but accurate term for the feel of the situation. I have seen multiple entries on the owners' forum…

    I recently purchased a 2009 subaru outback 2.5 special edition. While driving on i-35 near cloquet, mn, the car exhibited dangerously unstable handling that has been described by other subaru outback owners. The road conditions were icy and even with greatly reduced speed the car would slide/drift sideways on straightaways.
