Well,
My 2001 Outback with 43,000 miles blew the headgasket. This is the first
headgasket in over 30 years of owning many many cars. So, is this a common
problem with Subaru? The dealer fixed it at no charge and said that it is
"unusual".
Then, yesterday I ate breakfast with a guy who owns a large independant garage
and he said that he does plenty of Subaru head gaskets, and he told me that at
about 60,000 miles I should look for a bad oil seal near the timing belt, or
something like that.
Is this all true? Can I not expect Honda/Toyota/Nissan like reliability from
my first Subaru? My wife's Accord has almost 200,000 miles with no major
repairs.
Thanks for any info,
Fred
