Hard to believe a new car could have so many problems. From bad paint job to bucking under acceleration extra cost napa leather that’s defective backup alarm that wont go off plus 22mpg. Dealer can’t fix and corporate is not interested in helping

City mileage less than 15 mpg (drive speed limit, no excessive acceleration, no long periods of idling) I’m trying to decide what to name my new 2024 Outback. Under carriage is rusting causing stains on the garage floor Poor customer service from dealer (Great Lakes Subaru Findlay OH) and company.

Own my Subaru Outback Touring TX from August 2024. Very lagging screen, need to wait a lot after car start, barely handle few clicks at once, so you need to be very patient with it. Some buttons go away when screen change. Like AVH. Couple of times my wife's iPhone was stopped been recognized by car. She has 12 pro. And simple car restart etc did not work. Hopefully we have a highest trim , so she used built in navigation to drive. I have problems with cabin lights. There are buttons for seat positions on the driver door. There are no lightings on them, and with cabin light on, you can not see them as well. Hard to use during night time. and general light inside is very bad. Driver storage is very limited. Door panel storage too. My family was at the mountains for a weekend. And had a very unpleasant experience in the morning. https://www.subaruoutback.org/threads/anybody-encounter-numerous-dashboard-warnings-after-cold-weather-start.540795/ We had exactly same situation. Worst that I had to drive back for almost 5 hours from mountains in very bad driving conditions without any safety features turned on and with eliminated driver panel. Not something you expect from a new vehicle you bought specifically for outdoor activities. And for driving to mountains. Bellow 0 is not a something extremely rear when you go skiing and stay overnight. But I can not rely on my car anymore :(

Outback Limited 2024 - false advertisement

2024 Subaru Outback Limited 4dr SUV AWD (2.5L 4cyl CVT)

I bought this car, brand new, in early November. For the first month I drove on a highway only: work commute 40 miles each way, Western PA. My MPG was 23.7. And then the last few weeks was city driving with MPG 22.7. I was told this is "normal" and expected MPG. Seriously? The advertised MPG for this model is 26 city and 32 highway. I would not have bought this car. With other cars we had over the years, all six of them (Mazda and Honda), the MPG advertised had matched what we got in our own fuel economy. I had no reason not to believe that Subaru would provide numbers that don't match reality. False advertisement. Another problem: the radio turns on by itself randomly, literally every time I drive the car.

My 2021 Outback I could make my 11.6 inch screen split showing two different thing on my Outback Limited but can not do it on the new 2024. Also the heating for the stearwheel light does not stay when you push the button it flashing yellow and then goes off. I think it should stay on until you press it off or after you turn the suv off.
