This is just terrible. I'm
This is just terrible. I'm getting my short block replaced this week but everyone tells me it does nothing to fix the problem. But I have no choice because the trade in value is NOTHING like it should have been. The other dealers are getting way too many Subarus. I'm pretty made because we are stuck and it's not as if its a 100 dollar item. We cannot be added to the class action suit because it's already been filed but when they win (and they will because Honda set a precedence for the exact same problem they had in 2009 and have fixed it. Why Subie can't fix it over the corse of 5 years and 4 models is beyond me) we will be reimbursed for oil. BIG DEAL I want a car I could rely on. And BTW check your coolant. My friend, a mechanic, lost his mind when I told him it was low and Subaru topped it off (after 2 years and 32k miles). The manual says to check it every fuel stop. To me this is ridiculous and unacceptable. And they do not want you to use any other coolant but their specially made coolant. So in my trunk is oil AND coolant.
As of right now I can't even open my oil cap it seems to be stuck. It was stuck last month and it took a man and all his strength and weight to open it.
Also once we go for consumption tests the VIN is hit and we lose right there in resale value.
Anyway that attorney in the article will help you if you call. They've been guiding me and they're on the money about everything from overfilling to bullying tactics. All I want is my downpayment back so I could move away from this mess and get a new car.
If anyone of you is interested in contacting me I'll be glad to write a letter on our behalf to Subaru of America. Also in my research I found almost ever car manual I searched for online IN FULL except... drumroll please... Subaru. How is the consumer to know all this is in the specs if we only get the manual AFTER we plop down 25k or more on the car??? I'd like to get them on false advertising that's how mad I am over this. I've never sued anyone in my life but if this problem persists I will sue them until the cows come home.
