Consumer Description

SUBARU OUTBACK 2.5XT. 2005 CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON & I COULD HEAR WHISTLING OR WHOOSING SOUNDS FROM ENGINE AREA. TOOK IT TO AN AUTO REPAIR PLACE SLOWLY,ASAP & THERE IT SITS. HAS 155,000 MILES ON IT & I MAINTAIN & LOVE MY CAR! THE GEARS IN THE TURBO 'BROKE APART' & LEFT SHARDS OF METAL IN OIL PAN & AT THIS TIME WHO KNOWS WHERE ELSE. WAS HOPING THERE WAS A RECALL AS I MAINTAIN MY VEHICLES & IT SEEMS LIKE A MANUFACTURER ERROR. *TR
