2010 Subaru Outback Exterior lighting Problems

“Problem started in about july, 2014 when my front drivers side low beam headlight went out. I purchased two new bulbs and changed them (and this is no easy process with this vehicle). I wore latex gloves so as not to damage the new bulbs. Approximately a week after installing the new bulbs, my drivers side headlight went out again, but would come on and go out sporadically. …”

“I have a 2010 Subaru Outback. Beginning in december 2012 I have had to replace burned out headlights four times in the past year. Besides the cost... It is a major safety issue considering visibility is half of what it should be when they blow out. I never know when I'm going to pull the switch and not have lights.”

“My vehicle head lights have burnt out at least once a year since I have owned this car. The engine has began stalling when I come to a full stop.

I guess Subaru has issued an extended warranty but I never recieved the notification and my vehicle is past the mileage for the warranty anyway.”

The Outback has the headlight switch on the end of the turn indicator stalk. The switch has a number of positions, the first 3 being headlight automatic on, headlight manual on and parking lights on. …”

“In march 2013 an authorized Subaru service department noted there was a recall (49 cfr part 573.6) for puddle lights on my car and ordered the parts. This is noted in my file at the service department. They were going to call me when the parts came in. That did not happen. Now my puddle lights have failed and the short makes it so many more features in my car do not work (interior lights, gauges and key fob (currently use the same fuse). For some reason my VIN does not show on the recall look up, but it fits the VIN range as well as make, model and year. …”
