54.3% of complaints about the 2023 Subaru Outback came in its first year of service — a higher share than 97% of the 177 2023 model-years on record.

Starlink head unit/infotainment system - system freezes, major system lags, ghost input (buttons pressed without user input), radio cut outs, and delayed system startup and operation).

Apparent know issue. Subaru Outback windshields prone to chips and eventual cracking of entire windshield. Car does not have 2000 miles yet and already needs windshield replacement from rock chip.
