Case by Case Basis is right.
Case by Case Basis is right. I have an 8 year old Outback wagon, 8 months ago it had a head gasket repair the dealer service told me to "watch." I put 2000 miles a month on my car. I am in repair every 6 weeks. In December I missed my 6 week check up and early January it blew the engine. Subaru refuses to even consider it was a defect becasue of the miles on the vehicle, not withstanding that thir service did all the work. A friend with 2013 Forester got an engine replacement (still under warranty) for oil consumption problem even tho she never had an oil change done. They want me to buy another one...I don't think so. As others have said here you cannot watch it every minute and use it. So it is worthless, after putting tons of money into it. I may have to try and trade it in with $6000 owed on the new engine and the repair work. After a new engine was put in, new belts, and 1000 mile oil change It is still making the same odd noise under the hood that it did leading up to the day it died.
