We prove Harnack inequality for weak solutions to quasilinear subelliptic equation of the following kind $$\sum _{J=1}^m{X}_j^{*}{A}_j(x,u(x),Xu(x))+B(x,u(x),Xu(x))=0,$$ where $X_1,\mathrm{\dots },X_m$ are a system of non commutative locally Lipschitz vector fields. As a consequence, the weak solutions of (*) are continuous.

A priori estimates and strong solvability results in Sobolev space $W^{2,p}\left(\Omega \right)$, $1<p<\infty$ are proved for the regular oblique derivative problem $$\left\{\begin{array}{c}\sum _{i,j=1}^n{a}^{ij}\left(x\right)\frac{{\partial }^{2}u}{\partial x_i\partial x_j}=f\left(x\right)\text{a.e.}\Omega \hfill \\ \frac{\partial u}{\partial \ell }+\sigma \left(x\right)u=\varphi \left(x\right)\text{on}\partial \Omega \hfill \end{array}\right.$$ when the principal coefficients $a^{ij}$ are $VMO\cap L^{\infty }$ functions.

Let $X=(X_1,X_2,\cdots ,X_q)$ be a system of vector fields satisfying the Hörmander condition. We prove $L_X^{2,\lambda }$ local regularity for the gradient $Xu$ of a solution of the following strongly elliptic system $$-X_{\alpha }^{*}\left(a_{ij}^{\alpha \beta }\left(x\right)X_{\beta }{u}^j\right)=g_i-X_{\alpha }^{*}{f}_i^{\alpha }\left(x\right)\forall i=1,2,\cdots ,N,$$ where $a_{ij}^{\alpha \beta }\left(x\right)$ are bounded functions and belong to Vanishing Mean Oscillation space.
