Two problems related to door have been reported for the 2001 Subaru Outback. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
While closing the drivers door, inner panels or structures partially separated or delaminated from the outer metal portion of the door in two layers. Date is an estimate, it was winter.
Automatic locking system can be triggered by two buttons inside of vehicle. Also, this locks all doors in vehicle. Haven't contacted dealer yet. Automatic locking system easily engages with the motor running, locking keys inside. The dealer states that there should be an added safe guard against locking keys inside,particularly with motor running.
