Subaru Outback Transmission Problems Are Jerking Certain Drivers Around

Some 2021 Subaru Outback drivers expecting a smooth ride are in for a rocky road ahead. We have been receiving numerous calls on the 1 800 LEMON LAW hotline from drivers complaining of Subaru Outback transmission problems, including delays in shifting, jumping and grinding out of gear, shakiness on the road and the potential for a burning smell.

At CarComplaints.com, for example, the same consumer reported a jerky transmission three separate times soon after their purchase of this vehicle, a problem which Subaru had not taken responsibility for.

If you are experiencing consistent Subaru Outback transmission problems, it is essential that you bring the vehicle back to an authorized Subaru dealer to have the matter addressed. Remember, these models come with a 5 year/60,000 mile powertrain warranty . If needed, take the service advisor for a drive to illustrate the transmission issues you are encountering. Make sure once you pick up your vehicle form repair, you also secure a detailed repair record outlining the mileage in, the mileage out, the days out of service, the problem you were complaining about, and the repairs performed to fix the problem. Once you have three or more repair records for the same reason, or your vehicle is out of service an extended period of time, you have the potential for recourse.

Are you felling jerked around as a result of your Subaru Outback transmission problems? You may have rights under State Lemon Law or Federal Law. Depending on the number of repairs, or the days out of service, you may be eligible for a complete repurchase, replacement, or significant compensation. Kimmel and Silverman’s representation is 100% cost-free, and you have every right to take advantage of the consumer protection laws designed for you. Fill out our Get Rid of Your Lemon form or call 1 800 LEMON LAW (1-800-536-6652). We will be glad to discuss your situation and get you back on the road to recovery.
