| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: 1996 subaru legacy, brighton model sw 65,000 miles i purchased the vehicle new. i have had plugs and wires replaced several times in the past year. this last time one plug wire and plug was bad. the problem i was having was when accelerating at high speeds there was a miss or hesitation in the engine as well as the a shaking. also, the check engine light came on. this also happens more often when the vehicle is cold or when it is cold outside. my local dealer finally believes it is a bad valve guide. he dropped the exhaust manifold and could see one of the guides having down from there. i have not had this fixed yet, i just found this out 1-2-04. i understand there has been several legacy's which were made in 1995 and 1996 that have had this problem. i have also seen a complaint which was filed at this web site regarding the same problem it is odi id no. 732588. this is a costly problem and feel subaru should recall these vehicles. i am hoping to get the problem fixed within the next week or so. i also feel dealerships should be made aware to check this problem when plugs begin to fowl out like mine has done several times now. i will let you know how this goes. jd *la |
