Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Manual transmission outback wagon non-turbo cruise control turns off unexpectedly on highways. was filed at wilkins subaru in md a while back and they made some change to the computer by soa and it went away. well it came back on my latest road trip. it would kick out at vary durations, on varying terrain, at varying temperatures, and various speeds. the trip went from the gulf coast to the baltimore over 2 days. my wife put 1500 miles on the car in 2 days a week earlier with no troubles and the next 1200 it was a constant problem. it didn't seem to matter if i set the speed and left it or if i set the speed and used the "accel" "deccel" buttons. major nuisance and unsafe. i couldn't always tell it turned off until all of a sudden the car behind me was much too close. then the car lunges as i his "resume" *jb
