| Description of the problem | Dear sir, on february 11,2015 we purchased a new 2015 outback 2. 5 premium at seller dealer 400106 vin [xxx] and the odometer reading was 10 miles. This was our dream car that we saved for a few years to finally purchase. It developed an engine knocking noise at only 1000 miles on the odometer. So i took it to the subaru dealer for evaluation on 3/18/15 and after 2 days there they determined that the engine had a problem and would have to be replaced according to subaru experts. I really respect subaru |
