Headlights Turn Off While Driving problems of the 2011 Subaru Outback

Headlight and other exterior light bulbs die prematurely. I received a letter from Subaru about a warranty extension and that they would cover the costs. So far I've had 3 headlights go out in the last two years (after 85k miles) and also was told by a Subaru dealer yesterday that 5 other exterior lights were out. The general consensus is that it's a power surge in the lighting/electrical system that Subaru isn't addressing. The replacement of headlight bulbs is extremely difficult and recommended that a shop or dealer do the work, making it very inconvenient to replace lights. It is dangerous to have the headlights go out so often when driving at night and visibility is reduced. There has been no recall or technical service bulletin issued by Subaru, that I know of, and a lawsuit pending. Https://legalnewsline.

Vehicle has repeated loss of lighting due to frequent headlight bulb failure. The low beam light bulbs have suffered electrical failure 3 times in the last 1. 5 years. Both sides of the vehicle have been affected each time at the same time. The bulbs fail in the same manner each time, in which the filament breaks off inside the bulb. This failure is typical of excessive voltages being applied to the bulb, and not of "normal wear. " all 3 replacements, the brand of bulb was changed to determine if a faulty bulb was made. However the issue persists. Continued failure could result in an accident should the unpredictable failure occur at night. Please investigate as this failure appears to be common among many owners.

This vehicle must have an electrical problem. Since this auto was purchased I have experienced low beam head light failure four time. . . Two were covered under warranty. The taillights/stop have been replaced three times. Lights are an essential part of safety on the road. Subaru has a problem which they have not come up with any remedial help for the consumer.
