  4 INCIDENTS ENGINE FAILURE. FIRST TIME I PUSHED ACCELATOR AND THERE WAS NO POWER. CONTINUED TO APPLY GAS PEDAL AND NO POWER, IT WAS AS IF I WAS NOT APPLYING THE GAS AT ALL. CHECH ENGINE LIGHT BEGAN TO FLASH, CAR BEGAN TO SHAKE, AND AS SOON AS CHECK ENGINE STOPPED BLINKING AND LIGHT REMAINED ON, THE CAR RAN SMOOTHLY. THE SECOND INCIDENT WAS EXACTLY THE SAME AS THE FIRST. THE THIRD INCIDENT THE CAR DID THE SAME EXACT THING BUT THIS TIME IT STALLED OUT AS WELL. 4TH TIME WAS VERY MUCH LIKE THE FIRST TWO.

• 11/02/2001· POWER TRAIN

  AT APPROXIMATELY 90,000 MILES I STARTED TO EXPERIENCE BINDING IN SLOW SPEED TURNS. AT TIMES, THE CAR IS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL WHILE TURNING. THE PROBLEM, AS DESCRIBED BY OTHERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THE PROBLEM, IS THAT A BEARING OR SEAL WEARS A GROOVE IN THE ALUMINUM EXTENSION HOUSING. THIS GROOVE CAUSES A PRESSURE IMBALANCE WITHIN THE TRANSFER CLUTCH AND, AS A RESULT, CAUSES THE BINDING PROBLEM. THE RESOLUTION IS ADDRESSED IN A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN (I CURRENTLY DON'T HAVE A COPY OF THE BULLETIN AT MY CURRENT LOCATION) AND BASICALLY SAYS TO CHECK THE DUTY C SOLENOID, TRANSFER CLUTCH AND REPLACE THE ALUMINUM EXTENSION HOUSING WITH A STEEL REINFORCED REPLACEMENT PART. I CONTACTED SUBARU OF AMERICA ON 10/2/01 AND RECEIVED THE FOLLOWING REPLY ON 10/8/01: THANK YOU FOR YOUR RECENT E-MAIL TO SUBARU OF AMERICA, INC. WE APPRECIATE YOU TAKING THE TIME TO CONTACT US.

• 10/26/2005· AIR BAGS

  MY 1996 SUBARU OUTBACK EXPERIENCED AN AIR BAG MALFUNCTION ON 6/14/2005. WHILE DRIVING DOWN OUR LOCAL HIGHWAY AT 55 MPH THE VEHICLE'S AIR BAG SUDDENLY DEPLOYED. THE SUDDEN DEPLOYMENT CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO STALL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER BUT DUE TO THE MILEAGE ON THE VEHICLE THEY REFUSED TO CONTACT THE MANUFACTURER ABOUT REPAIRS. THE INSURANCE INSPECTOR BELIEVES THAT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO A MALFUNCTION IN THE SYSTEM BECAUSE THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE TO INDICATE A 55 MPH CRASH. *NM *NM

• 09/26/2000· ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING,UNKNOWN OR OTHER

  SUBARU LEGACY HAS HAD A WIDELY REPORTED HISTORY OF A HESITATION OR HIGHSPEED MISS. IN THE CASE OF THIS VEHICLE, IT WAS RETURNED FOR SERVICE FIVE TIMES WITH THE #1 VALVE GUIDE REPLACED TWICE. IN 2000, SUBARU DEALERSHIP IN CATONSVILLE MD. IDENTIFIED THE PROBLEM FROM COMPRESSION TEST AS A "MISCAST CYLINDER HEAD" AND REPLACED ON WARRANTY. HOWEVER, THIS PROBLEM WAS NOT ADDRESSED FOR FOUR YEARS, AND WE WONDER IF SUBARU KNOWS OF THIS PROBLEM IN CASTING CYLINDER HEADS AND HAS NOT CONDUCTED A VOLUNTARY RECALL. THE CARGUYS ON PBS HAVE HAD FOUR SIMILAR COMPLAINTS OVER THE LAST YEAR REGARDING SUBARU LEGACY AND OUTBACK VEHICLES WHICH SOUND SIMILAR IN COMPLAINT TO THIS VEHICLE. THE SYMPTOMS ARE A HIGH SPEED MISFIRE ON A CYLINDER (60 MPH) AND SUBSEQUENT SETTING OF THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. ANOTHER SERVICE DEALER INFORMED US THAT SUBARUS ARE KNOWN FOR "BAD VALVES". IF THERE IS A KNOWN CASTING PROBLEM IN THE CYLINDER HEADS, THESE VEHICLES SHOULD BE RECALLED.*AK
