2001 Subaru Legacy LX review from North America
"Very bad"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Head gasket issues.
General comments?
This is my second, and I am sad to say last Subaru. The first car's head gasket blew at 150k and I thought oh well, I did not have a lot of maintenance expenses prior to that so I went and got another. Big mistake. This one is at 97000 and I am having failure of the left head gasket.
So I bring it in and the dealer says there is not an external leak, so I am not covered under the warranty. Huh? They say oil is leaking out of it and not antifreeze, but where is my antifreeze going?
I really do not trust Subaru any longer. I feel like the dealer is giving me the run around. The cost is crazy and they are only offering to replace one side for $1245 at a minimum. If there is a class action lawsuit please contact lslcummings@yahoo.com.
