| Description of the problem | This is a problem about a 2009 subaru impreza outback sport wagon, which only had 105,000 miles on it and found out the oil leaked is due to head gasket is already leaked. The subaru dealer, planet subaru, had a repair quote for $2,000. 00. Did research about the issue, and found that this is an ongoing problem and that the engines are known to consume too much oil between oil changes. Subaru has a class action lawsuit against them for the same problem but not the specific year of vehicle. However, had contact subaru few times but subaru customer service decline to assist and suggest stay away from subaru. |
