Description of the problem	I'm sorry, but i'm sending in another incident report as i just want to amend my prior incident report # 11064585. If you are able to access that you will see that my engine failed on my 2013 subaru forrester. In the description i sent to you, i completely forgot to mention that the subaru dealership told me that it would cost between $8,000 to $12,000 to fix this problem! I have three kia's in my driveway, all with mileage over 125,000 and none of them have had this problem. I bought the subaru for their reliability and dependability. Please add this to my prior case number file. Thanks so much.
