Two problems related to steering column have been reported for the 2016 Subaru Outback. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2016 Subaru Outback based on all problems reported for the 2016 Outback.
Key gets stuck on ignition switch when I turn car off and put it in park. Key will not release from the steering column. It takes several minutes, some times up to 20 minutes for the key to release from the column. Vehicle needs to be started and turned off several times before key releases. This has been happening for a few weeks now, very frustrating and dangerous as having to start and stop the vehicle has drained the battery twice now and I have had to get the vehicle jump started. Hopefully this does not happen in the middle of no where. . . . .
Battery dies if car is not driven weekly. Steering column replaced twice and steering rack once.
