| Description of the problem | Since the head gasket blew. My car keeps breaking down. I have a toddler. By the oil sensor gauge it keeps breaking and my car starts smoking. My mechanic told me if i kept driving the car would have caught on fire due to the hot oil underneath the hood. I found out i need to repair the head gasket again the second time. Since it was changed the first time my check engine and cruise control keep turning on when i have low rpms, and am in stop and go traffic and high rpms. There are so many people that have this problem and subaru told me they will pay for damages that they own up to. For my head gasket i only received over $200 which it cost me almost $1500. They don't acknowledge all the other material that went into fixing the head gasket like oil and etc. This is the second time in 2 years i will be fixing the head gasket. |
