I have had 4 Outbacks (1998, 2001, 2005 and now a 2015). I have 22,000 miles on my 2015 and was just told Thursday that it is burning so much oil, the lower half of the engine needs to be rebuilt. HECK NO! I drove my 2001 into the dealer at 24,000 miles with smoking coming out from under the hood, same issue that I'm having now. This is totally unacceptable in a $35k car with only 22,000 miles. Subaru is aware of this issue and has done nothing to resolve it. I am waiting to hear back as to what Subaru is going to do for me. I LOVE this car, but don't want it now that it will have a rebuilt engine in it. I bought a new car for a reason. If I wanted a used car with a rebuilt engine, I sure as heck would not have bought a $35,000 car!
