2011 Subaru OUTBACK Electrical System Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1528577
Internal NHTSA #	11166358

Brand	SUBARU
Model	OUTBACK
Model Year	2011
File date	08/01/19
Component	ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Headlight and other exterior light bulbs die prematurely. I received a letter from subaru about a warranty extension and that they would cover the costs. So far i've had 3 headlights go out in the last two years (after 85k miles) and also was told by a subaru dealer yesterday that 5 other exterior lights were out. The general consensus is that it's a power surge in the lighting/electrical system that subaru isn't addressing. The replacement of headlight bulbs is extremely difficult and recommended that a shop or dealer do the work, making it very inconvenient to replace lights. It is dangerous to have the headlights go out so often when driving at night and visibility is reduced. There has been no recall or technical service bulletin issued by subaru, that i know of, and a lawsuit pending. Https://legalnewsline.
