Subaru Foreste… (not verified)    August 15, 2021 - 2:02AM

I have a Forester 2011 and has 144K mileage and goes low in oil every 3-4 thousand miles way earlier than the 7500 service schedule. I first observed it around 120K. The Subaru mechanic also identified a head gasket issue mixing oil and water at 143K and cost $5K and of course I didn't repair it. I hardly imagine I can drive it to 200K. Its horizontal cylinders make it harder to fix head gasket issues on the side of the engine. It is a well known issue since many years ago, I complained to Subaru but they told me Powertrain warranty expired many years ago and didn't stand behind their car. The car cabin is noisy and get worse with higher mileage. When I bought Forester they also told me similar stories about high mileage 250K and so on, please don't believe it. Recent models haven't been on road enough, so cannot claim issues fixed.
