Sure there may be thousands
Sure there may be thousands (if not a lot more) of these vehicles on the road and I'm sure that there are almost as many ignorant owners who are content in having someone add a quart of oil when needed or worse, drive it until it has only one quart left as it approaches the recommended change interval. There are thousands of people who were plagued by leaking head gasket issues only to have Subaru supply an additive instead of fixing the real problem. And lastly (for now), when the clutch (and throw out bearing and pressure plate and flywheel) disintegrated on my Outback, the dealer said that Subaru was having problems with the throw out bearing to the tune of having more than 5 different parts! Because it disintegrated due to the heat, it took out all of the aforementioned items. All I got from them was an apology and a $1600 bill. Years ago when I got my first Subaru, the mechanics would play catch in the shop because they had hardly any problems. Now, the dealers have to open early, stay open late and even on the weekends...and then appointments are required several weeks in advance. Wow, Subaru has evolved!!
