2005 Subaru Outback ll Bean review from North America

Gasoline consumption is shamefully enormous and Subaru/Dealer refuses to fix it 8.5 mpg cold in city 14 on road.

Seat heaters twice repaired have never worked.

Windshield broken when tire changed Subaru/dealer refuses to repair it.

Transmission shifts hard and makes grinding noise.

Skylight leaks severly and rear deck leaks. Car has

mold growing inside. water intrusion is outrageous.

Large plastic piece on rear deck detached on I94 in wisconsin and blew away. Dealer/Subaru refuses to repair it.

Doors fit so badly that road noise is intolerable in this $30,000 rolling junk heep.

The all wheel drive grinds and binds when you make right turns and is so noisy as to make lengthy drives intolerable.

The handling is poor and tire wear is outrageous tires wear unevenly and must be replaced frequently.

Oil leaks in the engine and we cannot leave it in the garage because it leaks fluids on the floor.

This car cannot be insured. no company will insure it because of the broken glass (due to flexing of the body and the extremely poor quality glass used by Subaru)

I purchased this car new and I expected the warranty to be honored. Subaru will not answer letters nor do they care if someone is unhappy with the cars they produce.

The car I purchased, Top of the line LL Bean, is not a commercially acceptable vehicle and is unsafe to drive and is un-insurable at the present time. No Company Will Insure MY Car!!!

The dealer and Subaru have refused to honor the warranty. They are extremely skilled at avoiding situations that will expose them to legal recourse. they will not answer letters nor will the dealer generate paper work. They have,through inaction, to repair or honor the warranty. The subaru warranty is as big a sham as the quality claims of the advertising.

The subaru car I purchased is a shameful and disgraceful piece of junk. no sane person seeing this car could possibly find any exceuse for Subaru of America's conduct regarding this sham of a car.

I regret ever having purchased a new Subaru L L Bean

outback.
