  Boring - 2006 Subaru B9 Tribeca
  By Mari - February 14 - 11:16 pm

  I enjoyed my SUV at first, but Ive experienced numerous quirks the past year. My tire pressure light flashes off and on, regardless of the actual tire pressure. Ive gotten to feel like every drive I make will end up with a flat tire, Im getting paranoid. Even if the AC/Heat is off, I still feel air coming in from the outside. The radio volume goes up and down when it wants to. The seatbelt buzz is annoying, especially when I have to "buckle up" library books and the such.The door locks have been repaired and replaced 3 times. Any one else out there having these same problems or is it just my car???

  Some reasons NOT to buy this car. - 2006 Subaru B9 Tribeca
  By calibuyer - November 13 - 1:16 am

  After test-driving this car twice and much research, we bought this vehicle off the showroom floor in DEC of 05. After our first weekend it was in the shop after a problem with all the warning light signals. The service dept asked why we had not made an appointment! The problem was not fixed and had to be taken to the dealer 3 more times. It was then we were told our TRIBECA had a FAULTY TRANSMISSION. It stayed in the shop for over 2 weeks plus the previous days in the shop. The TRIBECA has been in the shop now more days then we have been able to drive it. This is the worst NEW car experience we have ever had. Subaru please fix this. We cant recommend buying this car.

  Huge Disappointment! - 2006 Subaru B9 Tribeca
  By Unhappy - September 15 - 2:06 pm

  Boy, am I disappointed and angry. This B9 started breaking down at approximately 40,000 miles and has not run properly since, despite four trips to the dealership. I lost all compression and had to have 2 Valve intakes, 2 valve exchanges, 13 o rings, and several gaskets replaced. It took two breakdowns to get this fixed. Now, one cylinder is not functioning. The dealership is not wanting to admit that this is a lemon and replace it as they should. I have contacted the national Subaru corporation for all the good it will do me. Be careful if you buy this auto. You too could get stuck with a lemon.

  Headlights are horrible - 2006 Subaru B9 Tribeca
  By Janice - December 15 - 8:10 pm

  I am having a horrible time with headlights. Very little light and hard to see about 12 to 15 feet in front of car. Had headlights adjusted multiple times. So frustrating. Anyone have this problem?
