| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Engine coolant leaks. now 90,000 miles. this has been leaking since new or shortly after causing a hot antifreeze smell like it is drippng on the exhaust. dealer never could find the problem until after the recall. they added the stop leak solution but it continues to smell and use some fluid. dealer says that subaru has an option to replace head gaskets, but dealer is reluctant to do it. i am having to now get tough about it. i had to pay for a new engine in my wifes 1998 outback due to the same problem. upset because it was just in for full service check prior to warranty expiring. subaru has extended the warranty to 100,000 for this problem but i am nearly past that now. i don't want them to put it off until after warranty. i have also submitted complaint about sensors and catalytic converter problems.*ak |
