2010 Subaru Outback: multiple warning lights

Filed Dec 12, 2020 · Electrical · 105,000 miles · PA

While driving all the warning lights on the dash lit up. Brake, skid control, cruise control and check engine. This happened during the summer and I stopped at a repair shop and they reset the computer and it worked fine until today. I googled this problem and seems many other subaru owners are having the same problem. Seems dealers have many expensive repairs but even after repairs, owners are still having the same problems. I just returned my care twice for a recall on the airbags. This seems to be a reoccurring problem with subarus.

While I was on my way home, the car started bucking and all of the warning lights started to flicker on & of on the dash. I was driving on a major highway and thank goodness I was close to my subaru dealership where I immediately took the car. I was extremely scared! Shaking! They took the car right away & told me that it was the transmission - my son researched this and found that there have been many others with the same issues. Apparently my dealer was aware also since they knew right away what was wrong. Cost of repair $1,70.86 + tax! We recently purchased a 2nd outback b'cause we love the subaru brand & our dealer. What happened to me is a shameful neglect on subaru's part since there appears to have been several incidents the same as mine. I thank god that I didn't break down on a major highway or bridge that was on my way home. But mostly, I am grateful that my 19 year old daughter wasn't driving the car when this problem arose! Shame on subaru for not doing a recall on this! Very disappointed in the brand. My dealer was exceptional and fixed the car in 1 day! Replaced transmission valve body.

Vehicle started acting as though it was going to stall at stop signs and red lights. All dashboard lights then became lit up. Took to my place of dealership and upon checking transmission fluid, they described it as smelling very foul and was told I need a new transmission. Car is a 2010 subaru outback with 120,000 miles. The cheapest I could find for new transmission was 6000.00. Thought it was a joke at first, but was told the first call they made it was 7000.00. The transmission specialist called the CVT subaru transmission "the throw away transmission' as no one ever replaces them at that cost. I have always owned chevy vehicles until I fell in love with the outback. Needless to say I am very disappointed in this vehicle.no more subarus for me!!!

Bought new, may 2010. The vehicle stalled and all of the lights on the dashboard illuminated flashing- brake light, check engine light, cruise, oil light, etc. Upon restart the vehicle operated as normal only all the lights on the dashboard were still illuminated and flashing. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer, my auto imports in muskegon mi, where they were unable to diagnose the failure. This failure has occurred approximately six times in the past. The authorized dealer was unable to diagnose the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. It is going back in tomorrow after the flashing dashboard lights have been on for 6 days. The stalling happens more often when accelerating to accommodate a turn or start up from a stop sign/signal.
