One problem related to software has been reported for the 2013 Subaru Outback. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2013 Subaru Outback based on all problems reported for the 2013 Outback.
Backup camera shows blue screen and backup guide lines but no camera image when transmission is placed in reverse. Occurs intermittently. Can occur either when vehicle is stationary (e. G. , immediately on putting car in reverse) or in the middle of backing up. Sometimes camera image will come back on momentarily or not at all. This particular vehicle has the camera display integrated with the rear view mirror. However, the cause of the fault is unknown to me, and I have not been able to identify a pattern of occurrence. Camera image is clear and crisp when it does appear so the problem is presumably either software related or perhaps a wiring fault. Started occurring several years ago.
