Legacy Outback SUS
| | Model of the car: | Legacy Outback SUS | | | General comments: | I bought this car in 99 after 6 great years with a 93 legacy that never had any more than routine service required( I never had a need to take it back to the dealer for service, not once!) Unfortunately, the quality that had been put into that 93 is not in the 99. After 2 years, 23000miles and 14 trips back to the dealer, I cant take it anymore. It will be sold as soon as my Highlander arrives. after 9 months the top surfaces had to be re-clear coated because of how dull and spotted the clearcoat became(Subaru would not pay for this until we wrote a letter to the CEO)I wax every 3 months and its garage kept. The cloth door panel inserts have been replaced 3 times and the day after I got it back from the dealer the cloth on the 3rd set started separating from their backing! (The dealer had given it some free customizing by installing 3 dents to the drivers door) The front seats squeaked and had to be repaired twice.(I guess what can you expect for 23K?) Brake rotors last about 7000 miles before needing replaced because of pulsating, the engine started cutting out right off of idle when cold.(took 4 trips to partially fix that)The dealer has had the car in their shop for a total of 7 weeks 3 days. SUBARU: NEVER AGAIN. | | | What things have gone wrong with the car: | POOR PAINT QUALITY. cloth door panels constantly coming apart. weak brakes that start pulsating every 6000-7000 miles that require new rotors | | | Previous car: | 93 legacy |
