What are the common issues with the 2016 Subaru Outback 2.5i?

Hey, been noticing some weird things with my 2016 Subaru Outback 2.5i. First off, the touchscreen is super slow. And it’s like you have to press it 3 times just to get it to respond. Remember how I mentioned the fuel efficiency? Well, it seems off. I thought it was supposed to be great, but I’m not getting those numbers. Is anyone else seeing the same thing?

Had a rough winter and now the tires are not wearing evenly at all. The alignment seems all wonky and I had to take it in for a checkup.

So, anyone else with those same car issues? Or got any tips on fixing them? Let me know.

Also, heard something about the AC not working after switching it on for the first time in winter. Has this happened to others too? It’s kinda strange, you know?
