I bought a 2002 Outback limited and just after warranty and the oil light flashing twice the engine Seized on the hwy while I was in the States. I called my Canadian dealer who advised me to have it towed to them as I could be ripped off in the States. My options after doing this was $12k for a new engine or buy a new car. I called Subaru. Who said they had no issues and it was my fault for not putting oil in the car. This car had every service recommended except the last one out if warranty which was a few months late. To embarrassed to tell them I should have put oil in car I got a nearly new engine from the wreckers and had it put in for $6k. To this date I look back at how stupid I was not to take this further. I drove a Saab for years sometimes jot replacing the oil for year and never had trouble. How come Subaru Canada has not taken responsibility for this. I am know told they are very aware of the problem and Subaru's are known for burning of oil. I'd love to sue them thus was a top of the line Subabu Outback Limited.
