Subaru Outback Change Vehicle

“Replaced fuel lines to stop gas smell”

“When cold out fuel fumes come in through vent . And I tried to get it repaired. Clamps changed n tightened. Problem came bak because it wasn't fixed right”

“Oil leak from valve cover”

“My mechanic reports that there is oil leaking out of the head gasket on the driver's side head. To fix it is a very expensive repair”

“leaking oil around head gaskets,valve gaskets,and other seals”

“The head gaskets on the engine are leaking both oil and coolant onto the ground. The leaks are very slow, so I never have to top off the oil; but I do have to top off the coolant about once a month. The vehicle has no problem passing smog tests and still runs strong after about 176k miles”

“It's obviously true that the Subaru is known for its oil leaks; I now fill the oil and check the gas. Other than that, except for the loss of refrigerant last month, this car has been FABULOUS!”

“headgasket failure”

“The Check Engine light has been going on and off for about 4 years. We had to get a new Catalytic converter for smog test in 2016”

“Had to put on a third catalytic converter due mostly to a bad coil pack that assisted in the cat failing. With the higher mileage, not totally the cars fault. There was a aftermarket coil pack that was replaced 2 years ago and it began failing, but didn't throw a code until damage was done to the cat. Pricy considering g the age and mileage, but decided to fix since the car is in otherwise good shape”

“Often smells of gas and exhaust in the car”

“I have driven this car since 2006, and it has always had a horrible rattle in the engine compartment from loose heat shielding around the exhaust. Some mechanics seem to be able to fix it temporarily, but it always comes back”

“factory service people did not fix it, and the local service station has found it impossible to fix it”

“Muffler developed weld problem simply dropped off after”

“Replaced at 160K, expected maintenance”

“Small leak in exhaust pipes; required installing a new joint (as opposed to replacing the entire pipe)”

“Had to be checked due to Government requirements, hence it was cleaned, then inspected and passed”

“Incoming exhaust probe failed. Part was cheap, labour expensive”

“I was leaking fumes from the pipe going into the gas tank. Replaced pipe”

“The ignition coil cracked and needed to be replaced. This was followed shortly by more problems with hesitations and misfires and replacing of a fuel/air mixture sensor”

“Difficult to extinguish check engine light even with new parts”

“Car was hesitating”

“Had to replace O2 sensor due to Check Engine codes”

“passenger front started whistling after 3 years . only due above 50 MPH”

“The driver's door seal keeps coming off and hanging outside of the car”

“was a loose exhaust shield”

“heat shield rattles”

“The car has always been extremely noisy. It gets worse every year”

“replacement window does not fit tightly enough”

“I love this car but it is loud!”

“Needed brake fluid”

“brake pads replaced after 15 years use”

“I was unaware that had brake problem until the state inspection”

“replace breaks”

“just to replace brake pads”

“I seems to me that I go through brakes often, but I drive a lot on gravel roads w/ lots of salt/sand on them”

“light pressure will let the pads touch the rotor, leading to heat and wear”

“brake lights filed due to blowing fuse in the brake interlock switch. Also had to replace a lot of fuses, then it settled down”

“Electrical problems fog lights don't work. Fuses blow and then blow again”

“Don't drive anymore cause headlight covers are glazed over and cannot see”

“Keeps,coming on c no problem identIfied”

“engine light never goes off no matter what the dealer mechanic does”

“Check engine light almost always on, when problem is fixed, comes on again within a week or two”

“Freon leaks. Was fixed but only worked for about 1 year. Currently no air conditioning”

“We had a recurring refrigerant leak that it took a long time to figure out the source of”

“Had to have the entire radiator replaced because of leaks and cracks”

“required a new radiator”

“Radiator needed to be replaced”

“It just suddenly had no refrigerant. Took it to the garage they refilled it and it's been fine ever since”

“Engine had big problems with overheating, the solution was to have the heads machined”

“Radiator identified as problem by experienced mechanic, i.e., premature failure at approx. 85,000 miles. Vehicle maintained ber manufacturer's recommendations”

“Replaced radiator due to antifreeze lraks”

“It failed when I was out and about. Had to be towed. Caused the timing belt and serpentine belt to be replaced also”

“Slight leak, was replaced when timing belt and fan belts were replaced (routine maintenance)”

“Such a cold winter that my old battery could not hold a charge and I finally had to replace it”

“rough engine”

“Had to replace and made a big positive impact on mileage”

“Leaking oil pan. Leaking transmission fluid from the gasket”

“Crack on transmission hose”
