| Description of the problem | Immediately following heavy rain storms, my 2005 subaru legacy wagon had problems starting and running. The hole car shacks really bad. I know two other people with the same problem. My dealer said many people have come in with a 2005 with that same problem. It started at 18k and still haven't been about to fix after 80k. The engine 'stutters' or 'misfires'. I cant get my check engine light to come off. |
