I can confirm, my 2018
I can confirm, my 2018 outback has so many issues right out the box. My brakes had a manufacturing defect of the radial run-out causing brake shudder - when the car was brand new! The dealer tried to tell me the band new surface ground brakes were too rough and that their brake lathe would make a smoother surface (this is not physically possible). The electronics in the car are so cheep that that glitch out ALL THE TIME. Subaru of America and the dealer like to pay catch with whose problem it is. My stereo freezes with the music on whatever volume and it cannot be turned down - yes it is dangerous while driving. I have had the car for less then a year and already I cannot see myself putting up with all these issues for long enough to make it past 100k - weather or not the thing lasts that long.
