Consumer Description

SUBARU OUTBACK (1998) CLUTCH FAILURE. NOTORIOUS PROBLEM! REPLACED ENTIRE CLUTCH ASSEMBLY, FLY WHEEL, MASTER CYLINDER AND SLAVE CYLINDER AT MY COST!!! DEALER WOULD NOT COVER. THE CLUTCHES ON OUTBACKS ARE LEMONS! CLASS ACTION SUIT FROM ALL OWNERS IS A REAL POSSIBILITY BECAUSE SUBARU HAS NOT TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF A "RECALL". THIS IS A TERRIBLE THING (MONEY AND TIME AND WORRY) TO SEE OVER AND OVER ON THE INTERNET FORUMS, AND EXPERIENCE PERSONALLY. *LA
