1 Warning problem

Failure Date: 04/15/2024

The infotainment system in my 2019 Subaru Outback glitched/ stops working randomly. I have a video of the touchscreen glitching and making selections betweens apps by itself. Also, I've started having random alerts pop up on the dash, such " obstacle ahead" when there is not an obstacle ahead or "roads may be icy" when it is 60 degrees outside. I reported it to Subaru, which they advised me to take it to crown Subaru to have them take a look at it and they can submit a claim. I took it to the crown Subaru & when I told them the problem, the lady that helped me stated, " yeah, this is common, I know exactly what your talking about. " she then called another employee and told him she needed a quote for a infotainment center that was delaminating and was making selections on it's own. A week later I received a call from Subaru stating they would pay $500 of the bill as a one time goodwill gesture. The quote from crown Subaru was for $900.

2 Warning problem

Failure Date: 10/10/2023

This is known issue with the electrical system that is associated with the touch screen controls. Without any driver input, the eyesight driver assist system was shutoff. That system controls adaptive cruise control, collision avoidance, and lane departure features. Rebooting the starlink touch screen restored those functions. The safety issue is that no audible warning gave indication that the safety features were disabled. Two icons appeared on the dash. There appears to be a class action suit that applies to the starlink system for my model year. It is important to understand that this more than merely a problem with the entertainment features.
