Tribeca is probably the greatest handling SUV. The nav system is a total waste of money, it does not do anything right and comes thru with outdated disc.
Suburu does not help owners with the nav problems because they don`t make it. They should not sell what they don`t support.

Not sure if they removed it, but there isn’t anything there about about ‘Outlander’, only Outback!

If you top up the fuel tank and leave the cap loose, the engine can loose power and lots of lights come on and stay on.

The manual warns about this.

You need to reseat the cap and drive it for a while, when you turn on the ignition leave it in ignition “ON” for a few seconds before going to crank.

This will eventually reset the system.

I liked the original. It was an interesting design and creative design. But so many people ae bland and want things to look bland too.

If its one of the solenoids in the transmission then its quite a big repair job depending on the gearbox design. Either the gearbox will need to be removed and repaired or they might have access to the solenoids from the sump. Either way hope its covered under warranty or else $$$$$$!

Dam nice car but the 7 seat option can only really be considered for midget parents or those with legless children. Parents under 5’9″ who’s children have no feet should also look at it but for the remainder its just a joke.

I have purchased the 2008 Tribeca Premium several months ago. I love the body shape, the ride, the atention to detail and the overall build and style of my Beca. The only critisicm I have is that the Navigation system doesn’t have school zone, speed/red light camera and speed zone warnings. Any run of the mill mobile GPS unit has this, why not a car that has everything else? Also the audio system lacks bluetooth connectivity for mobile phone pairing. Once again, much cheaper and inferior vehicles have this feature. Style and design are highly subjective, so not everyone will like everything. personally, this is the best car I’ve ever purchased. Oh and the wife loves it as well. There’s almost peace on earth.
