Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“We purchased our 2010 Subaru Outback in december 2009. By spring of 2010 I have noticed that at random times I will turn the car on and my interior lights will not work, my heating/AC will be blasting hot air at me from the dash vents when it is in the off position, radio will not turn on and can not see my mileage display. Also at random times my gauges will not register. I have taken it several times to the dealership. Each time they have informed me that nothing is wrong with it, they can not recreate it and to next time drive it there when it does it so they can see it in action. …”
