2010 Subaru Outback Seats Problems

“We just purchased this auto and are very upset with the new head restraints. I have been to a doctor and chiropractor already for back and neck pain due to the forward angle of the restraint. My wife has seen a chiropractor once also for the same reason. Can we purchase replacement head restraints somewhere. These new restraints had to be removed from our car now causing more damage if we are involved in an accident. Please help.”

I recall hearing what I thought was a woman screaming, immediately followed by the sound of tires screeching as when brakes are quickly applied. I glanced into my rearview mirror and did not see any oncoming headlights. It was then that my car was hit from behind. I have no recollection of being thrown backward from the rear impact, or being thrown forward from the impact of hitting the car in front of me, or stopping. I also do not recall the deployment of the air bag in my steering wheel. …”

“I own a 2010 Subaru Outback. While parked at a college in Medford, Oregon, it suffered a spontaneous electrical fire that originated inside the driver's door. This is the exact failure described in Subaru Safety Recall Campaign WQE-41.

Fire dept did come out and confirm fire was out completely and instructed me not to drive car at all until it could get looked at.”
