2020 Subaru Outback Exterior lighting Problems

“The low beam headlights are too bright, or angled too high. I'm constantly having other vehicles flash me at night thinking I have high beams on. This has happened worth people I know telling me and strangers. Both on highway and city streets.”

“The low beam's angle on the self-leveling headlight units is too flat blinding oncoming traffic (every other car and third truck flashes their high beams at me). The implementation of the handsfree bluetooth protocol is inadequate as incoming call volume is too low (even after increasing speaker volume to maximum). It makes handsfree operation of your mobile phone all but worthless while handsfree operation is required by law in my state. Both issues are safety issues as far as I am concerned.”

“In the first year of ownership of my 2020 Subaru Outback, I have experienced many glitches in the operation of the electronica safety devices. The latest has been returning to the car and finding the battery fully discharged despite nothing being left in the “on position“. Yesterday, after fully charging the battery, four hours later the battery was found to be fully drained. I boosted the car and began to drive it when at the first traffic light the auto-start-stop feature shut the car off and I could not re-start in the middle of an intersection.”

“My 2020 Subaru Outback headlights are too bright and appear to be aimed too high. Driving at night is a very real problem due to the number of other drivers who keep putting on their high beam lights thinking mine are on when they are not.also I can see my beams pointing higher down the road then for any other car I have owned. I contacted first the dealership and then Subaru of america, the dealer was apologetic and explained there are no adjustments to be made on the aim of lights because none were built into the car at the factory. …”

“Headlights are aimed too high - they are similar to high beams on other cars. Whenever I am driving at night - especially when outside the city, almost every car passing me flashes bright light because they think I have my high beams on. They are pointed too high off the ground and cause glare for other drivers (which I also experienced when my wife was following me in the Subaru while I drove our other car. It is really obnoxious and does not seem safe to other vehicles on the road. Dealership said there was nothing wrong and there is no way to adjust lights to point down towards the road.”
