Forester 4-cyl

Multiple major and costly repairs to a vehicle that is driven on hard road services only, and in a safe manner. The vehicle has had all routine maintenance. Repairs include replace oxygen sensor & emission control computer. I was eventually reimbursed for this service/part which took 7 visiits to dealer and much convincing on my part. Other major repairs include replace defective transmission seal (2 visits), replace oil pump, replace left rear wheel bearing. Replacement of other wheel bearings is possible and pending. I have no confidence in this car, just waiting for the next major repair.
