Manufacurer | Subaru of America, Inc. |
Brand | SUBARU |
Model | OUTBACK |
Model Year | 2017 |
File date | 28/02/17 |
Component | BACK OVER PREVENTION: AUTOMATIC SYSTEM BRAKIN |
Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | The automatic rear braking is overly sensitive and slams on the brakes anytime i back out of a driveway; unless i come to a complete stop at the moment the tires make contact with the street. The dealer tells potential customers this can be adjusted, but when i took the car in for an adjustment, the service department told me it was against the law to adjust it. Subaru claims it's working as designed, but they've never tested it on the road. The only thing they do is plug it in to their computer; and they find no error codes. The 2018 subaru outback is not as sensitive. |
