Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Car overheated, took to dealership. called next day and informed the head gasket was blown. after discussing, they said they had to replace both head gaskets. knowing about cars, this seemed strange to me that both were blown at same time - it was at this time that dealership pointed out to me that subaru is having problems with head gaskets and that this is not an ususual problem. replacement cost was $2200.
