#10616 of 10749 Handbrake indicator light by luck11 Dec 08, 2008 (7:45 pm)
Noticed this evening that my handbrake indicator light (ie. the exclamation point in brakets in the instrument cluster) remained on after I released my hand brake on my 05 OB XTL. Any ideas on cause? Something I need to take to shop asap?   Thx. Replies to this message: paisan (Dec 17, 2008 7:18 am)

Replying to: luck11 (Dec 08, 2008 7:45 pm) This means that your brake fluid resivoir is low. Usually indicates that your pads are low. How many miles on your car or on that set of pads?   -mike Subaru Guru and Track Instructor
#10618 of 10749 Considering buying a 2009 Outback Special Edition by maxxmd Dec 19, 2008 (1:30 pm)
I am considering buying a 2009 Outback Special Edition. I owned a 1998 Outback and got 196K trouble free miles out of it.   I traded it in for a Malibu Maxx as I had a huge GM card rebate. It's time for another new car.   Are there any issues to be aware of in the 2009 models? Are there any build dates to avoid? I know all the information is here in the discussion group (HG, trans, etc) but with over 25,000 posts I don't have time to read everything with the holidays approaching. I am looking for the Cliff Notes version.   Thanks in advance for your help.

Replying to: maxxmd (Dec 19, 2008 1:30 pm) I have not seen any significant issues arise yet for the 2009 Outback. It is the fifth and final year of the current model generation, so I expect that most if not all kinks are worked out for this model year. It is the 2010 vehicles that may re-introduce new hiccups....   I was able to use half of my GM points to help my brother get a decent discount on the Cobalt he purchased early last year. That was a nice feeling, and I did not even have to settle for a GM to use the rebate!

Replying to: maxxmd (Dec 19, 2008 1:30 pm) Kurt also came from a Malibu Maxx, in his case to a new Forester XT.   The kinks have been worked out so the Outback is a pretty safe choice, IMHO. We haven't seen many HG failures since MY03 or so, and that's 5+ years.
#10621 of 10749 Shift knob / armrest extension? by wallie502 Jan 02, 2009 (3:21 pm)
I just picked up an 09 Legacy SE and I've got two questions.    1) I'm looking to replace the boring rubber shift knob with something nicer. Does anyone have any suggestions? I like the Momo one offered by Subaru accessories but it's kinda pricey. Also, can I perform the switch myself, and if I don't buy a Subaru-approved unit, can I be sure that it will fit my shifter?    2) Center arm rest extension - does anyone actually buy this? If so, is it worth it? I think it'd be nice. Can I perform the install myself?    Thanks.

Replying to: wallie502 (Jan 02, 2009 3:21 pm) I have an LLBean Outback and my wife has a Legacy. Don't waste your time/money on the arm rest extension. We have it in my wife's car and it just gets in the way. It sometimes pops up when you don't need it. You can rest your arm without it- as I do in my wagon.   Get the Momo shift nob, but not from the dealer. Get it off of eBay or somewhere else you can get it cheaper- then you're guaranteed a good fit. Replies to this message: longislander1 (Jan 17, 2009 10:36 am)
