so just a thought and an update to my original post... There are times when I am using my Satellite Radio (XM Sirrus) and I am listen with no blockages or obstructions or underground- just the wide open road and my signal goes out for a second or 2. The dealership said everything was fine because the antenna and satellite radio and "other" features were working normally. Could it actually be my antenna and not the head unit?

Hello Folks- Happy Pre-July 4th. I took my 2013 Subaru Legacy my local dealership yesterday AM regarding my Navi not working. I get the looking for GPS message as well as the squiring satellites message on my Navi screen. Dealership says that the Antenna is operating as designed as Satellite and other features are working. The dealership is suggesting to remove the Navi/Radio unit and send it out for repair. That would be 2-3 weeks and $900.00 later, which I am not considering. I have my smart phone and there is after-market replacement, which I would prefer not to do. My main question is this: Is the dealer correct and the head unit has to be replaced or is it something else? I am wondering if I can or do reset the Navi by disconnecting the battery for a bit would that help? What if I update my SD card with the latest map, would that help? Any thoughts and ideas are welcome. While the technology is 2013 and crude and light years behind my 20017 Acura TL Type S Navi and Radio, I would rather not yank out the head unit and fix or replace it. Thank you, Andrew

Bingo 123- i did not see your reply till now, but I discovered that my passenger front window was feeding inside the track/stripping and the driver window was feeding on the outside of the track, so I just smoothed out the track/stripping and the window feed inside and not outside of it and now all is better. I cannot believe i did not notice it before...Subu owner fail!

Not sure it is a dying motor because if I spray lubricant in the window track, it will then operate normally for a while....

123. Thank you. I have also applied light pressure to the window when it goes up and I have been able to get the window the rest of the way up when applying light pressure.

Hello Subu Folks- The Front drivers side window on my 2013 Subaru Legacy will not go up all the way either manually or when use the auto feature. This started about 2 weeks ago as the weather climbed to 80-90 degrees. Before that, the window worked fine. The day it stopped working it was 89 degrees outside and I had the AC blowing ice cold. When I got home, i turned off the AC and opened the window and that is when it would not close all the way. The window will go up 2/3-3/4 of the way before stopping and going down 2-3 inches. I have already goggled the issue and found some related posts on this and the Subaru Outback forum, so I have already applied the common solutions. 1) Clean the trim area and vacuum for any stuck foreign objects 2) Perform the window reset 3) Use a silicon window trim liquid in the affected window trim piece. 1 and 3 work for a little while, but the original behavior presents itself again in 1-2 hours. In the window reset- I never hear a click after 10- seconds of holding the window button up and the window fully closed. I have an appointment next week at the dealership, but I really do not want to spend $135.00 per hour labor rate if this is something I can fix on my own. Any additional thoughts/tips/insight would be most appreciated. Thank you, Andrew

So I took my wife's Outback to the dealer ship this past Tuesday and should them the original Oil Consumption test from 3 months and 2,500 miles ago....I was told not to come back until my low oil warning light comes on....which i imagine is gonna be at 3,000 miles. Cannot wait for that battle in the next 3-4 months

that I have noticed, between 2,500 and 3,000 miles

much appreciated

My wife and I bought a one owner 2015 OB 2.5 in 2017 with 20,000 miles. Over the course of our ownership, we have noticed oil being consumed in between oil changes at 4,750 (0W20) mile interval by our Subaru dealership. Now we have seen oil get low and the oil light come and before knowing what was happening, so now being proactive I check the oil in between oil changes and we are definitely losing oil. Current mileage is 51,500. With all the covid-19 stuff going on, I had forgotten to check the oil in the 2.5 OB until yesterday. 3 months and 2,600 miles later with the engine cold and the car level and not on an angle. the dipstick was dry with the exception of the tip of the dip stick and maybe an 1/8 of an inch after that. Should I go to the dealership and ask for a replacement engine under the recall or do I need to do the oil consumption song and dance every 1,200 miles for the next 2,400-3,600 miles? Thanks, Drew aka GFINE

My thoughts exactly Keith!

2015 3.6 and up had the CVT 2010-2014 3.6 had the 5AT

Hello Subu Folks- While I have enjoyed owning my 2013 Legacy 3.6R with Eyesight/Navi, I miss a full size wagon for a daily like my wife's 2015 Subaru Outback 2.5 CVT. I got the 2013 Legacy as a replacement to my 2002 Subaru Outback and while it is a tremendous upgrade, I think I am better suited for the wagon lifestyle. With a budget of $12,000, I am looking at 2011-2014 Subaru outback 3.6R with under 90-125K miles or a 2015-2016 Subaru Outback Limited 2.5 CVT. I am better off keeping the 3.6/5AT power train or going with a 2.5 CVT? Or do I keep my Legacy and just add roof rails for a cargo box? Thank you for looking, Drew

Hello Subaru Folks- I was wondering what car ramps any of you DIY'ers use to work on your Subaru Legacy's for oil changes/transmission fluid changes, etc... Thank you, Andrew

Thank you!
