One problem related to engine has been reported for the 2010 Subaru Outback. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2010 Subaru Outback based on all problems reported for the 2010 Outback.
When downshifting to turn or when slowing to stop, the engine regularly sputters and has died twice in the last month causing a loss of power steering and brakes. It also happened once while I was turning left into my neighborhood. Luckily the car had enough residual speed to complete the turn and no traffic was approaching. The car does not have any issue restarting after it happens. I took the car to the dealer this morning, 26 July 2010. After 2 hours, they said they know of the problem, but could not "download the fix".
