| Description of the problem | We have experience a multitude of electrical issues with the ll bean version of the 2207 outback. Most recently the airbag light staying on consistently, which appears to be a reported issue. This is a safety issue since the air bag will not function with the light on, it is costly to repair over $400 + diagnostic of $115. Several weeks ago, it would com eon intermittently, no it remains on 100% of the time. I commute 100 miles each day 5 days a week on a two-lane, rural highway and worry i need to get rid of the vehicle sooner than later due to a safety issue. This only passing the safety issue to a new owner. This safety issue should be subaru's responsibility to fix as there are many that cannot afford such a fix and is not regular maintenance. This should never be an issue. Not sure if i would buy a subaru again after owning this one. The other issue is with the rear wire harness that controls the rear defroster, etc. $800 to replace this after we had diagnostics completed during our last tune up. Seems as though there are many faulty electronic assembly issues that were not of the highest quality - maybe a taping or soldering issue. Hopefully it doesn't spark and start a fire.... |
