Consumer Description

RINGLAND ISSUE ONCE AGAIN ANOTHER RINGLAND ISSUE THIS IS WITH MY 2006 SUBARU OUTBACK XT. YES, THIS CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY BUT HAS BEEN DRIVEN GENTLY BY A GRANDMOTHER AND SERVICED WITH THE PRECISION OF A FORMULA RACE CAR. WHY HAS SUBARU NOT JUST COME OUT AND SAID YES OUR VEHICLES FROM 2005-2006 WERE GARBAGE AND THE RINGLANDS WERE JUNK. I CAN'T BELIEVE I AM EVEN THINKING ABOUT REPLACING A STOCK RINGLAND ON A VECHICLE...NO OTHER CAR....NONE HAS HAD AS MANY ISSUES WITH RINGLANDS AS SUBARU. CAR IS NOW EXPERIENCING MISFIRES, AND SOME LOSS OF OIL AS LOSS OF POWER...COMPRESSION IN CYLINDERS IS NOW DOWN TO 30% SO THIS IS NOT A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE...THIS IS A DEFECT A MANUFACTURES DEFECT OR A METALLURGICAL DEFECT AND THEY REALLY NEED TO TAKE CARE OF THIS AND MAKE IT RIGHT FOR OLDER CUSTOMERS...WE ARE ALL JUST SITTING ON TICKING BOMBS. LOVE YA GUYS AND STAY CLASSY
