The first transmission replacement was a recall, I get that. The second transmission went out on the highway in the middle of a road trip and the dealership in Tallahassee took care of me. Less than 700 miles later the transmission has already slipped a few times. I will never buy another subaru, loss of trust in the brand.
Loud and Clear- Don't buy Subaru Outback

I bought Subaru Outback 2013 from DanPerkins Subaru, Milford, CT. I wanna say loudly and clearly -Don't ever buy any Subaru Outback. I bought a 2013 Subaru outback. Just after warranty expired, the rear view camera and the sound display stopped working. Took to their service, they said the issue is with the audio system. Now, they want me to replace the audio system. And note, it won't be covered by warranty. So folks, don't get lured by their advertisement "lifetime warranty". It's just a trap and you won't be able to use it when you need it. I have other Japanese car:16 years old and it is still running. No single issue. I have decided not be go with any Subaru product in future. It is just not worth. Why do I need to replace an audio system in a five year? I can't get it.

Love the car, hate the fuel mileage. After 25000 miles it dropped about 5mpg both city and highway. Now it goes from day to day what you will get. Most of the time city23 hyw 27. Best city 26 hyw 34. Last 5000 miles I averaged 23.2. Now have 59000 miles and the fuel mileage is back 26/30. Sometimes 34 hwy. I can't explain why it dropper for a year, but I'm glad it's back. 75000 miles and running at 25/29. I did find that I get better fuel millage on the hwy when I drive below 68 or above 74. Cant explain it, it just does. Took a 3500 mile vacation in may. averaged 28.8. did a lot of 80+ it did very well. Have had the motor rebuilt Three times in 15,000 miles. apparently rebuilding motors are not one of things Subaru is very good at. I still like my car, I just want the motor to last more then 15,000 miles. Last motor seems to be lasting, although it now has an oil leak that might cost $2500. I now have 150,000 miles and gas milage is doing very poorly. 22/26.5. I think i'm done with this car.

Eats oil and transmission went at 130k

We bought this car as a family car; looking for safety and room for the dogs in the back. It met those goals but the transmission started slipping before 100k miles. At 130k (8 years)the transmission started making a death rattle noise and Subaru told us to replace it for $7500. We have 2 other non Subaru vehicles that both have almost 300k miles a piece so we were severely disappointed in this Trans failure. This particular engine is also in a class action lawsuit because it burns an extreme amount of oil (about 1 qt every 2 months).
