| Description of the problem | Headlights on 2011 subaru outback continue to blow. Replaced all front lights multiple times. Reckless endangerment of their customers and will cause crashes as lights go out while driving vehicle. So far only one has gone out at a time for i am not holding my breath. Appears that this is a very common issues that subaru fails to stand behind the issue. Customers should not be forced into purchasing only subaru replacement product to achieve safety. This sounds like extortion since it appears the only answer is to purchase subaru original bulbs . This is getting frustrated and i do not hear or see of a recall for the problem. I see alot of complaints, but again, no recalls to fix the problem. Subaru keeps taking my money to fix the problem |
