| Description of the problem | Engine failed catastrophically at 73k miles. Subaru attributed failure to "poor lubrication", but denies responsibility. These cars burn oil excessively and have no low oil caution light. Major internal engine failures are common with ej and fb engines due to failure of rod bearings, turbos, head gaskets and due to abnormal combustion. |
