Hi everyone!
I’m one of the co-founders of Dakota Subaru Experts. Tanner is the one you’ll usually see working on the cars day to day, but I’m behind a lot of what goes on in the background. I help build out the business, the systems, and now this community. This is something we’ve wanted to create for a while. We get calls and messages from people all over asking for help with their Subarus, and there’s only so much time in a day to get back to everyone one on one. So instead of turning people away, we wanted to build a place where people can come in, ask questions, learn how to diagnose things the right way, and not feel like they’re just guessing or throwing money at problems. The goal with this is to make it more than just a group. We want it to actually be useful. Somewhere you can learn, get better over time, and feel confident working on your car. I’ll be in here helping keep things organized, improving things as we go, and making sure you’re getting the most out of being here. If you haven’t already, go introduce yourself in General Discussion. I’d love to see what you’re working on.

Hi everyone!

2021 Subaru Outback. Yesterday I did a 2 1/2 hour road trip to the nearest city for errands. After running around to 6 places it was time to head home. When leaving the city there is a long steep hill that I sudo shift down to 3rd gear. Doing about 50 kph I went to shift from 5th down to 3rd but got a double beeped when attempting 3rd. I thought this a little weird and made a mental note to look into it. I drove about 20km and stopped to visit friends. After about an hour when I started the vehicle the dash was lit up. ! CHECK MANUAL EYESIGHT DISABLED COLLITION WARNING DISABLED LANE KEEPER DISABLED [i] icon X MODE icon flashing Engine icon Temperature gauge was not working On the LED side panel it showed… X MODE not lit and inaccessible DRIVING ASSISTANCE inaccessible The engine was in high idle mode and would not idle down. I disconnected the battery, reconnected it and all the warnings disappeared although the temperature gauge still didn’t work and the idle was still high. I decided to continue the drive home. Everything went fine and average gas mileage was its normal consistency. I used the paddles to downshift when exiting the highway and once again it beeped when attempting 3rd. As a curiosity while doing about 15kph I tried downshifting from 2nd to 1st and it beeped. At a lower speed it did downshift. When at home and in Park the rpm had calmed a bit but was around 950rpm. I turned the vehicle off and restarted it and the dash lit up again. The same happened again with a cold engine start and battery dis/reconnect. I do have an OBD2 and plugged it in this morning. Lots of faults appeared most of which are Greek to me. One I did notice was the engine temperature had gone into safe mode. If you want me to open and send any of these faults let me know. Any thoughts? Thanks Gary Entwistle

Hi 2010 subaru outback with rpm problems
hello i have a 2010 subaru outback with some rpm problems. When i come to a full stop the rpms drop and the car shakes after that it recovers. But the feeling is that it will stall.I have changed spark plugs maf map sensors the valve also clened the throttle body. It also looses oil at around 3000 miles. The catalys converter is gone as a mechanic advised me to take it out also the 02 sensor is disconnected after that the car is consuming around 15 to 20 liters per 100km which i think is quite a lot. The car dosent give any errors. Earlyer when that problem was a minor thing it was happening when i drove long distences and it gave an error p0171 or p0172 and the mechanics from subaru told me not to use the cruise control. Also it stalled twice on me an year ago once while i was parking and i was shifting between D and R the rpm droped and it stalled. Before that i was at a stop i exelarated so i can go but the car was not excelerating properly so i just pressed the brake and it stalled while i was driving after these two incidents nothing major. But these two stalls led to me changing everything i listed. One thing i noticed is that while the car is cold everything is fine but once it goes to normal working tempretures it starts to stall. The mechanics at my local subaru shop were telling me that the piston rings are the problems but the car is at 94000 miles they took it for a drive and told me my transmission is going. So that lead me to not trusting them cause they didnt actually knew what was wrong with it and i am serching for a solution the car is running but i just dont trust it to go long distences.
