Woman Has a 'Crashout' Over Subaru Outback Repairs That a Dealership Says Is Not Its FaultGuessing HeadlightsHenry KelsallWed, September 9, 2026 at 12:15 PM UTCAdd us on GoogleImage Credit: SubaruA woman from Iowa took to TikTok to state that she was having a self-described 'crashout' over a multitude of issues with her 2019 Subaru Outback, which she had only just purchased. TikTok creator Destiny Jade (@destinyjadekakes) was not having a good time in her video.Jade explained that she had recently been through a divorce, and as part of the settlement, she got a 2004 Toyota RAV4 to use as her car. However, this car quickly broke down, so she decided the easiest solution was to go and get a new car.She went shopping in Iowa City, and that is when she decided that the 2019 Subaru Outback was the one she wanted. Jade made a down payment of $3,000 on the car but was able to walk away needing to pay only $330 per month for the Subaru.AdvertisementAdvertisementIt wasn't long after that, however, that her troubles began. She soon reported all sorts of issues with the car, such as a damaged axle and a tire pressure light sticking on, and had to pay to get them fixed. But the list of problems seemed to just go on and on for Jade.What Was Wrong With Jade's 2019 Subaru Outback?Jade said that the problems with her Subaru started pretty quickly after she had bought the car. "Immediately after I got it, one of the axles was damaged," Jade said. "I had to go get it replaced. That was like $450. I got that replaced. I got my car back. The strut starts acting up. What do you mean? They replaced the strut and the axle—mind you, the axle I just had replaced one week before. That was like $650," she added.So clearly, there was something very wrong with the Subaru at this point. She had just had to spend $1,100 on the car, having only just financed it. Yet worse was to come, as there was an issue with a tire pressure sensor, but thankfully, the dealership agreed to replace it for her for free, which took some of the sting out of the earlier problems.The repair went smoothly, but it didn't last long. Incredibly, not long before she started recording her video, the light came back on. That is what led to her crash-out, as she had become incredibly frustrated. Jade called the dealership to try to get it fixed, and she wanted it replaced free of charge. But the person on the phone said to her, "I'm just a salesman," and that she needed to call another department.TikTok Viewers Sympathized With Jade's PlightImage Credit: SubaruViewers of Jade's video sympathized with her over the problems she was having. "I hate this," one person wrote, summing up the situation in the simplest way possible. "Valid crashout, because I swear dealerships sell barely functioning cars and then gaslight you into thinking it's normal when it shouldn't be," a second person said. They indicated they had endured a similar experience.AdvertisementAdvertisement"I genuinely hate car buying," a third person said. "The whole thing feels like a scam," they added. There was clear frustration from several buyers, who had probably all experienced something similar themselves. Of course, there is the possibility that this Subaru had high mileage, hence the prices that Jade was paying. But it was built less than ten years ago, and nobody expects to drive away from a dealership thinking a car is fine, only to find serious axle damage that you have to pay $1,100 for.If you want more stories like this, follow Guessing Headlights on Yahoo so you don't miss what's coming next.
