general problems of the 2013 Subaru Outback

The vehicle has had the seat belt replaced twice in one year for it dinging and now Subaru dealer says the ods sensor is bad and does not detect a passenger in the seat therefore the air bag system is not functioning properly. The dealership strongly recommend that I contact Subaru and they will most likely fix it being a Subaru and a huge safety issue. I have found a recall for this but they say not this VIN number but yes it is on 2013 Outbacks! they will not provide any assistance with this very costly safety issue even knowing the dealership told me to contact them.

I was pulling into a parking space very slowly when the car went into overdrive and suddenly accelerated at a high speed. It plunged down a slight decline and hit a large tree. My airbag failed to deploy although I was thrown violently forward, and the car sustained severe front end damage. The car is considered a total loss and I spent a day at a hospital emergency room. The sudden unexpected acceleration and the lack of airbag inflation is going to be assessed by Subaru on 10/24/23. I understand that there are two class action lawsuits against Subaru (in NJ & CA) for this same unanticipated acceleration issue.

Subaru has failed to comply with the takata airbag recall. I began by calling the phone number supplied on the recall letter, but the operator there provided no information about accomplishing this recall. I next tried the Subaru website, under recalls. Although the site purported to provide a mechanism to effect the recall, in fact it did not function such that I could schedule such a repair. Third, I tried emailing Subaru. As of this writing I have had no response. Finally, I tried calling the Subaru 800 number. They were unable (or unwilling) to provide information to effect the repair.

My 2013 Subaru Outback has three open recalls, numbered 19v009000 (airbag), 18v626000 (parking brake), and 16v694000 (windshield wiper motor). Subaru of America has told me, within the past week, that the car is unsafe to drive because of the airbag. I live 138 miles from the nearest Subaru dealer. I have given Subaru two quotes, requested by them, including contact information at two companies, for transporting the car to the nearest dealer, rimrock Subaru in billings, mt. Subaru of America refuses to contact or make arrangements with the two companies and refuses to schedule the repairs unless I pay in advance, approximately $1,700. 00, for round trip transportation and car rental, to get the car to the dealer and back. Subaru told me, in an email today, February 12, 2020, from david wolf of Subaru customer service, "my ability to assist is on a reimbursement basis. There is no workaround for this. " his email is custdlrservices@Subaru. Com this is an extreme hardship for me as I am retired with limited discretionary funds. I hope you can convince Subaru to fulfill its legal responsibility to complete these recalls without my financial involvement. Thank you. Richard a. Ellingson 710 s.

We recently had our vehicle service for the takata air bag recall. When the vehicle was returned to us, we found a plastic clip/fastener on one of the floor mats, see attached photos. We are left wondering where this component belongs, its function, whether or not there is a safety concern, and how we should proceed.

Takata recall Subaru is providing a loaner while the repair takes place. When I arrived at bertera Subaru, in west springfield, MA. For the scheduled repair they told me that I had to put a credit card "on file" so that they could give me the loaner. I am placed in a situation of losing a day's pay or kkeping my passengers in mortal danger. . Can they discriminate against the poor in administering a federally mandated recall? can you do something about this?.

Takata recall dealerships are not able to offer an appointment with 6 weeks of this recall. There are long waits for service appointments and thus Subaru is remedying this problem in a reasonable amount of time. I called and the soonest they can service my vehicle is 6 weeks (with reports that other dealerships are much longer). This is unacceptably long when the recall advises that no one can sit in the passenger seat (not feasible for me) and when there are frequent reports of death from this recall.

Takata recall. I received the recall notice. It states in bold lettering to not let passengers sit in the front seat until this is fixed or risk death or serious injury. I called the dealership and was told the repair could not be fixed until September as Subaru is not supplying the parts until then. Does Subaru really expect me to not have passengers in my vehicle until September? how can they issue this warning and then not fix it for 6 months? is this a joke? is there anything the NHTSA can do? please let me know, as I apparently now have a useless vehicle which I depend on for transportation on a daily basis. If there is some other agency I should contact please let me know.

Takata recall - carter Subaru, ballard, seattle, wa (98117) - called the day I received recall notice from Subaru (3/16/19) and the first appointment they could offer me was July 7, 2019. They told me there was no way to get me in sooner as they were already processing "20 recall appointments a day. " until then I cannot use the passenger seat which is not feasible given that I have a disabled father who is not comfortable in the rear seats. A 4 month wait to repair a life threatening defect that essential makes my car unfit for its intended use seems incredibly negligent.

Sudden unwanted forceful acceleration (suspect auto cruise control got engaged via eyesight malfunction), collision avoidance failed to engage. Back home safely from a local grocery, pulled the car slight on the driveway, stopped with foot on the brake to open the garage, about to hit the home link, must remain stopped while garage door opens because driveway slopes downward, heard engine roar with foot still on the brake, car started throttle forcefully, got bewildered, pressed hard on the brake; it did not respond, the car hit hard on the garage and brick wall, causing extensive damages. Air bags deployed, driver was senseless, both driver and passenger hurt, car is declared total. It was very hot at about 4:15 pm, air condition had been running at full force all the while during the short 15 minute drive. The driveway has a 10 ft slab with upward slope, the car stopped with front wheels at the end of the first slab. The remaining driveway is about 30 ft on a downward slope. I keep the car totally standstill while the garage is opening. The car was at a slight angle facing slightly toward the driver side corner of the garage. The car is still on my driveway: event data recorder and eyesight data recorder should have valuable diagnostic information. The impact was very forceful: a complete brick wall got displaced by almost 1 inch at one side and the displacement on the other side of the wall caused a two story load bearing brick column to crack on both sides. Garage structure and roof got damaged. This car is maintained in good condition and never have been in accident before. Called police, but they did not come. Let me know ASAP if you want diagnostic data: I am 100% sure that this is a manufacturing defect. I saw collision avoidance work in many other situation, but this time, it did not work. This is a serious public safety issue happening a lot with Subaru.

"takata recall" I called a local Subaru dealer, ladin Subaru in thousand oaks, CA, multiple times regarding this recall. I left messages each time, and, each holding wait time was longer than 20 minutes to speak with an agent to set up an appointment for a recall service. They are accepting other appointments without any trouble, yet not the recall cases. If it is a safety-related recall, like this one, then it should be handled more professionally. Correction must be made.

Takata recall tka- I received a letter from Subaru notifying me of the recall advising "until this repair is performed, do not allow passengers to ride in the front passenger seat" and to immediately contact the dealer to replace the front passenger airbag. The dealer advised they did not have parts and it might be "months" before parts were available. As this a major safety issue, the time to repair of "months" is unacceptable.

In motion driving straight down county route 80 on a good weather day slowed down going to turn into a shop and takata airbag deployed. Was loud bang and horn would not stop going off. Pulled off road in front of a art gallery, called aaa they towed car to a garage called "don's auto barn" in new woodstock, NY. Drivers hand hurt but not to the point of seeing MD. He is a MD so he cared for it as necessary. Subaru won't cover as warranty is up. Insurance won't cover as it was not a accident. This was very dangerous. We are now without a car as it is not repaired and not covered by insurance or Subaru. It's like driving around with a random gun going off with this just deploying. When don's auto scanned car there were 2 codes that showed up. Our car been to dealer in October and there were no recalls, not even from takata!!.

I have a legal notice for airbags. The brakes didn't work properly recently in an emergency situation.

Takata recall- we had a car accident 4-4-2016. We were turning into a parking lot and another car did not stop at the stop light and hit our car on the left side. Police were called and a report was filed. Our air bags did not open up.
