Purchased brand new Subaru Legacy October 31st of 2011. After only five months and 14,000 miles beginning in March of 2012 I was shocked to discover the following problem(s) with my Legacy: Low idling, bogging down, at oil light illuminated, and nearly stalling out. This issue is still continuing to this day, sporadically. I now have 25,500 miles and there is no solution to this problem.
