Hello,
I figured I would post this here instead of on a Subaru forum since I dont belong to any. My G/F purchased a used 09 outback base model back in Nov with a bit over 50,000 miles from a local Subaru dealership. Immediately after driving it, the cruise control started flashing and they replaced some sort of sensor on it.
The car itself was in excellent condition inside and out, it never appeared to be abused to anything.
Just the other day she complained that the check engine light was on and that it was idling a little rough. She just took it in to the dealership for them to figure out what was wrong and came back with, Misfires on cyl 3&4, bad coil pack and apparently theres a need for a gasket but im not sure where she said it was needed, either valve cover or headgasket. She was quoted a bit over 900 for it al. Her 3 month warranty ran out last month but something seems fishy to me.
To me, if they inspected it when they went to sell it, they would have caught some of these problems, she has only put about 5500 miles on it since purchase. Im thinking that we need to go to the dealership and demand some form of restitution since it has only been 4 months, what does anyone think?
