Subaru Outback parts reviews

My 2017 Outback with winter tires is like on rail during snowy season. I have never driven a car this good on winter.

We’re on our 4th windshield for a ‘22 OBW. The third window, about 6 weeks after that, we switched to Pilkington and that’s lasted about 70k miles - so far. It has a bunch of pings that we think would have done in an OEM.

We just replaced the wipers on our 2020 Subaru Outback today - they lasted 4 year!. If you have a Subaru, I highly recommend Subaru wipers. The ones we replaced were still clearing the windshield, but in Virginia they have "safety" inspections and if there's even the tiniest little tear they fail the car. So we replaced them. But they still had life left in them.

I'm on my second set. I got just about 64k miles over three years before they were cracking and down to 3/32. I just don't have the same confidence in those so I went back to the A/T Trails. They definitely grip the road better and are less bouncy.

Since buying my wife's 2004 Outback in 2012, I've always used Bosch Evolutions. Living in the PNW and the torrential downpours, one of the best blades I've used.

Just my opinion but as someone who has tried a number of wipers and fluid over the years, I feel the best stuff out there when it comes to fluid is the pre-mixed 20/10 brand green fluid and when it comes to wiper blades, Bosch Icon have proven to be the most reliable.

I've always like Bosch Icons

On her 2023 that needed a replacement after the first month? No aftermarket available so it'll be the second replacement again unfortunately.

I had this happen in my 2020 outback around 37k miles. Dead battery was the culprit. Fortunately I shut off all my electronics and lights and it had just enough power to get it to restart. I got the battery replaced by Subaru under the extended 5 year warranty from a settlement for premature battery failure. It failed right after my 36k service at the dealer I think the car was about 4 years old at the time.

I’m about to replace my 5th windshield on my 2022 Outback. Subaru doesn’t acknowledge anything out of the ordinary. I’ve contacted them multiple times. No impact at all. I park in garage and next day it’s cracked. Totally normal to Subaru.
