I totally agree with a recall on head gaskets clear back to the early 2000's. Also there should be a recall for defective pistons and oil rings from mid 2004 thur present date. Subaru started using shallow groved pistons with smaller oil rings in the 2.5 engine's up to present date. The small oil rings will not seat correctly which causes oil blow bye out the exhaust which is oil consumption. That's why a class action lawsuit was filed. Every time we talk to the dealership about it , we get the same song and dance. We had the head gaskets blow at about 101k, which over heated the heads and cracked one and warped the other. We have had the motor rebuilt and found out about the defective pistons and rings. Older Subarus never had these problems. You could drive them 250k with regular maintenance and have no problem. I also found out that the 3.0 and 3.6 ( 6 cylinder engine) had the same head problems. I use to be a Crown Vic owner and went to Subaru's. I really live the cars, but I can't afford to rebuild motors every 3 years. Toyota and Honda are looking better all the time. Thank you. Joe Kerschbaumer
