Three problems related to power train have been reported for the 2000 Subaru Outback. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I was advised by a mechanic on 4/20/15 that the rear cradle is very rusty, enough that I should avoid carrying heavy loads. I just noticed on this website that there was a recall in 2003 for inadequate rustproofing of that part; however, we never received notice of a recall. Can this be repaired or replaced now? there was no incident associated with this problem.
The contact owns a 2000 Subaru Outback. While shifting from park into drive, the vehicle takes 15-20 seconds for the gears to shift. The manufacturer is aware of the failure, but has not issued a safety recall. The current mileage was 170,000 and failure mileage was 30,000.
