Consumer Description

MY 2002 SUBARU IMPREZA OUTBACK SPORT WAS ALSO DIAGNOSED IN 4/08 WITH A LEAKING HEAD GASKET @ 81K BY THE DEALER WHEN I TOOK IT FOR A BRAKE SERVICE. I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW AND GAS MILEAGE HAS BEEN ONLY OK. IT HAS NEVER OVERHEATED, EVER, WHICH IS WHY I TOOK IT TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC RATHER THAN SPEND THE $3K THE DEALER WANTED. AN EXTERNAL LEAK WAS NOTED AND I'M KEEPING AN EYE ON IT. I'VE HEARD RUMORS OF PROBLEMS WITH LEAKING HEAD GASKETS ON THIS VEHICLE. WHY NOT COVERED OR MONITORED? *TR
