  1. Hey everyone. I've had a rare, though recurring transmission slippage issue. When driving at a constant 125-130 km/h (75-80 MPH) for a long distance, the transmission will start slipping after some time. Slip is very noticeable and lasts for half a second at most, but will continue unless I lower my speed for a while. The engine RPM is stable, no water or issue of any kind that might cause the symptoms. I tried reproducing the issue with and without cruise control - same behavior occurs. The car (and transmission) is still under warranty, but I wanted to ask anyone else out there if you had the same issue. Only occurs when driving continuously at these higher speeds (may be a tad fast for Canada, but it's the regular speed limit for many US states, as I understand it...)
  2. As far as I'm aware, the warranty for the Canadian and US markets is the same (Full Warranty --> 36K MILES/3 Years USA = 60K KM/3 years) (Powertrain --> 60K MILES/5 Years USA = 100K KM/5 years) I can't speak to how this specific issue has been handled by Subaru thus far, but it should be covered, even outside warranty, since it constitutes a manufacturing/design defect. The TSB itself proves that. I can't speak for other provinces, but it should be covered under Québec law (Source: Am a civil litigation lawyer)
  3. Amazon! For something like 20$ Light had a bit of play, something like 2 mm (1/128"). A tiny piece of tap was sufficient to stabilize it. Oh and uhhhh... What do you mean when you say "shame"? Not sure I've ever heard of such a thing as "shame" /s I was inspired by a colleague of mine who was showing off his welcome lighting on an Audi. A 200$ option on Audi's website
  4. I've had the same issue and was wondering whether I was alone or not. I've only had it happen with my passenger window during winter (There's not actually much snow on the first video. Mostly humidity from the indoor parking garage). https://streamable.com/2jr4h0 Seems likely that the fix is the TSB linked by Stuff
  5. Huh. Thanks for the link! Funny enough, the Outback thread was inactive for almost a whole year, only to come back alive 8 days ago. Guess I'm not the only one seeing snow and thinking about my steering wheel
  6. Hey guys, Just wondering if anyone has looked into retrofitting a HEATED steering wheel to replace their non-heated steering on a 2020+ model. I know this was discussed by a couple people in the 2015-2019 forum, but the main issue was the fact that it'd have to be retrofitted with an Outback steering. However, now that the higher trim Legacy has a heated wheel, would the replacement be any easier? For anyone asking, obviously, buying a limited trim with the standard heating wheel would be the better option. I'm just thinking out loud here (and might consider doing it if it's easy enough.....)
  7. Kinda gimmicky, but I like it! Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk
  8. Wow... Looking at all your 2.4t fuel consumption figures leaves me baffled. I don't baby the throttle as much I should. However, I don't consider myself a maniac. Is it possible that, off boost, the 2.4t has a better fuel economy than the 2.5 [emoji848] Or are you guys driving 90kmh/55mph while I'm driving 75 mph? [emoji28] Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk
  9. Latest fuel economy figures for my 2020 2.5 are at 8.1l/100km (29mpg). With mostly urban highway driving.
  10. Ground clearance really isn't an issue for me. I actually went into deep forest trails last weekend, and though I was scared a few times regarding ground clearance, after stopping a few times by precaution, I finally ended up seeing that the ground clearance is actually fairly impressive for a car. I usually baby my cars, but what a blast it was driving on dirt forest roads!! PS: Love the fact that I have my 2015's Legacy wheels. Already have winter tires on for the upcoming Canadian winter
  11. I have gotten in touch with Autostop Eliminator and they have confirmed that their device only acts on ASS and not AVH. It doesn't seem like it would be complicated for them to add AVH. However, they don't have an outback/legacy nearby for testing purposes. I'd gladly help, but it would be a long journey going from Canada to WV.... Especially with the border closed and all....

  12. For my information, does the device also make AVH stay in the last known setting? I always drive with auto S/S off and AVH on. Would most likely be buying in a second if the device did both. Otherwise, I'll still have to turn on AVH every ignition anyhow. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

  14. There is a setting in the main screen, to make touching the driver side dour handle open all four doors. Not near my car at the moment, but it was one of the first things the dealer changed and told me about regarding the center infotainment screen. The fact that all doors open when the passenger side door handle is touched is expected behavior. The reasoning seems to be that if someone is climbing into the car as a passenger, there necessarily is a driver climbing into the driver-side; When climbing in as a driver, there is no indication that someone else is coming along with you.
  15. I can confirm that the update files posted by chvvkumar on the Outback forum (https://www.subaruoutback.org/threads/2020-outback-software-gigathread.517684/page-35#post-5983591) Worked with no issue on my mid-trim Legacy. BE AWARE, if you update a mid trim Legacy or Outback, everyone has been receiving an error message at the end of the update, when to progress bar is completed. You may disregard and follow the TSB's steps. Once the car is restarted and the screen reboots, everything is properly installed and updated. Being capable of turning off Auto start/stop in 2 clicks alone is worth the update. In my opinion, there is not much of a reason to have your dealer update the car, or worse to pay for your dealer to update it. You'd have to be really bad to brick your unit. Just my two cents.
