Consumer Description
2009 SUBARU OUTBACK HEAD GASKET SEEPAGE. THIS ISSUE SOA HAS BEEN AWHERE OF AND SAID IT CAN BE NORMAL OVER TIME. YET I FOUND THAT THE GASKET USED AT THAT TIME WAS SUBSTANDARD. A RECALL WAS NEVER ISSUED. I FEEL IT SHOULD HAVE NOTIFIED CUSTOMERS, BUT DID`NT. PERHAPS IT WOULD HAVE COST SOA A TON OF MONEY. I BELIEVE THEY ARE DEALING WITH THIS AS CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS COME IN AND TOLD REPLACEMENT OF GASKET IS REQUIRED AT OWNERS EXPENSE.I FEEL THAT SOA SHOULD OWN UP TO THIS AND PAY ALL OR A MAJOR COST OF REPAIR. I HAVE TO HAVE MY HEAD GASKETS REPLACED AS TOLD UNDER INSPECTION.
