2009 Subaru Outback Owner Comments

problem #2

Jul 032015

Outback Limited 2.5L Turbo

  • Automatic transmission
  • 113,550 miles

A D V E R T I S E M E N T S

I had the oil changed more frequently that recommended (every 3000 to 5000 miles).

The engine should have lasted longer than 113,500 miles.

I will never buy another turbo.

I have been told the fix will be from $6000 to $8000 (new engine or rebuild engine).

Subaru offered me a $1000 incentive to buy another Subaru. No other help.

Outback

  • Automatic transmission
  • 80,000 miles

I had my car serviced at 75,000 at Subaru. At, 82,000 miles, my engine blew up due to not having a drop of oil left in the car. There were no warning lights: the oil light never came on to warn about the oil level being low. I took the car to Subaru and they kept it for 8 days to review it, 8 days? Then came back and said that the car is no longer under warranty so they cannot do anything.
