Replying to: fibber2 (Jan 26, 2005 6:11 am) Thanks Steve, I appreciate positive feedback. After reading some of the stories in these forums, I was beginning to get worried. I love my little Burro, but the first time I get stranded, that will change. |

Replying to: xsailor8 (Jan 25, 2005 5:16 pm)  . Keep in mind that the 2.5L engines with the Turbo might take 5Qts per oil change rather than the more normal 4 Qts. Also get under the car and check for external leaks for your peice of mind. My '01 Forester used about 3/4 qt/3000 miles when it had a Piston Pin Access hold cover leak. 1/2 Qt/3000 miles when all was well. Elissa |

Replying to: kens (Dec 19, 2004 11:03 am) I didn't have to complain too much. Just had to wait for the area rep to hear the noise so I left it overnight on Tuesday, they looked at it Wednesday and said it would be ready on Friday. They gave me a loner car as well. Let's see if this fixes the problem. |

Help! help! I'm being driven mad by the non-stop chime our new outback repeats over and over when you don't have your seatbelt on. Don't get me wrong, I regularly wear it but there are times I do not and would prefer a peaceful QUIET drive. I have heard that there is a way to totally disable the "reminder" chime all together. If anyone knows how to do this, please reply with instructions and I will be forever in your debt! Thank you!!! Other than this we love our '05 Outback - no other complaints except the RE92 tires that I had the dealer swap out for Turanza's before we took delivery of the car. What junk those stock Potenzas are it's amazing. Subaru must get a phenominal volume discount from Bridgestone or something to OEM those things. thanks for your help! J

Replying to: jam05 (Jan 26, 2005 1:43 pm) If you want a quiet drive, wear your seatbelt. ***Seatbelts save lives*** I'm open to any legitimate reason why the driver not wearing your seatbelt is a good idea.

Replying to: kev_xt_owner (Jan 26, 2005 4:21 pm) 1). Pulling into the bank drive thru and unbuttoning my seatbelt while I get my wallet out and reach around car to my briefcase..have to sit there and listen to the thing the whole time.And no, I don't care to have to rebuckle immediately just to stop the thing. 2).Placing my briefcase on the passenger seat and having to listen to the chime forever. (I don't know what weight Subaru has it set for to set off the alarm, but it's way too low). 3). Drving 50 yards from my driveway to pick up my mail. Sorry, but I don't care to buckle up and unbuckle just to do that. Sorry, but the subaru alarm is extremely annoying compared to other cars in my and other's opinions here.

Replying to: subden (Jan 26, 2005 8:01 pm) But it seems as though some of the annoyance can be removed through behavior modifications: place your bag/briefcase on the floor in front of the seat & walk to the mailbox instead of driving to it. I'm able to retrieve my wallet (back right pocket of pants) without undoing my seat belt. I've also carried a backpack with approximately 20 pounds of weight on the passenger seat with no chime (or warning light), so maybe the passenger seat chime is exclusive to certain Subaru lines. Seat belts are great lifesavers in accidents. The problem is not everybody wears them while driving. Car manufacturers are required to give an audible warning that must last between 4 and 8 seconds (but can actually continue beyond the 8 seconds). Some evidence has shown the 8 seconds to be insufficient for those already tending not to wear seat belts. Unfortunately it sounds like Subaru made the alarm so annoying that people are disabling/desiring to disable it, thus preventing its potential effectiveness.
