2002 SUBARU OUTBACK (NOT SURE WHICH ENGINE) - NOTICED COOLANT SMELL AROUND NOVEMBER 2005; WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THE HEAD GASKET WAS LEAKING - THEY COULD EITHER ADD A GASKET "CONDITIONER"'' TREATMENT" - OR I COULD GO WITH THE REPLACEMENT GASKET FOR ~$3000 OR SO. THIS WAS NOT LONG AFTER MY 60K SERVICE, WHEREIN NOTHING HAD BEEN FOUND WRONG. I ALSO NOTED FUEL SMELLS, WHICH THEY NOTED MIGHT REQUIRE NEW FUEL LINE AND FUEL RAIL(?) TO THE TUNE OF ANOTHER ~$650 OR SO. I ASKED ABOUT RECALLS, AND THEY HEMMED AND HAWED - THEY FINALLY TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON EARLIER SERIES ENGINES, BUT THAT MINE WAS OUTSIDE THE RECALL GROUP. I'VE SINCE FOUND HUNDREDS, MAYBE THOUSANDS OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS BY OWNERS OF LATE-MODEL SUBARUS. SOME GET THE REPLACEMENT, BUT THE CAR NEVER RUNS THE SAME AFTERWARDS. MANY ONLY GET A REPLACEMENT OUT OF SUBARU...
