Two problems related to dash wiring have been reported for the 2003 Subaru Outback. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Nar 03-27-2003 mr the car dies intermittently at speeds between 20-25 mph on deceleration. The power is completely lost with no power steering control. Additional items noticied . . Shifting in transmission at low speeds, dashboard creaks and drivers window faulty.
Dealer substituted cheap aftermarket security system for requested Subaru upgrade, tampering with factory wiring in process. When challenged, dealer replaced system with Subaru upgrade. However, I am concerned that the stripped, soldered and most likely cut wires in the factory harness could produce a short or backfeed that may damage electrical components or lead to fire. In addition, one bundle of wires interferes with the movement of my right foot from accelerator to brake. Dt.
