Subaru Impreza

"Around 60000 miles engine died"

"a modern car should not blow a head gasket with less than 100000 miles. it should not cost almost $5000 to fix"

"cam box and chain cover gaskets need replacement for $3000 plus tax at Subaru dealership"

""engine light comes on randon times, but no problemss with the engine, checked by dealer and inde shop.""

"key would get stuck in the ignition"

""the Impreza had a problem with oil. Subaru was very nice about the problem after we called Subaru, however the dealer was very difficult and tried to convince that a brand new car is supposed to burn 2 and half quartz of in 12000 miles. subaru did get it fixed and replaced the head gasket.""

"Apparently prior to my inheriting my sisters Subaru there was noted an oil leak by Subaru mechanic in 2023. Nothing done. I inherited car June 2024 and saw that on prior paperwork. Had it inspected and yes a Cam seal was leaking. Minor leak. Told could have it fixed for $ 2500 or live with it. Am living with it. Very minor. Also the car needed 3 batteries in 2 years. Car could not hold battery. Last battery Jan of 2024."

""Dealer detected a leak from oil pan while doing routine service. But it took several days and apparently pulling the engine to make that repair. I had loaner car, and the repair was covered under extended warranty.""

"2012 was the first year for this engine, and when using the recommended 0W-20 oil, actually vaporizes and burns up oil with use at higher RPMs/temperatures. Highway driving in the summer can require more than a quart of oil every 500 miles. There was a service bulletin from Subaru on this which extended the warranty to 8 years/100k mi., but I didn't see it in time to take advantage of it."

""There were multiple codes, mass air flow sensor, egr valve, vapor canister and vapor purge valve. This started in January 2025. I changed the purge valve, cleaned the mass air flow sensor . My mechanic changed the EGR valve. After all of this work, the emission codes wouldnt clear. It was a very stressful time. Finally, my mechanic cleaned the filter in the exhaust pipe and that cleared the codes.b""
