I took my Subaru in for an oil leak problem and was informed that my right bearing was bad. The oil seal was under warrenty, however the bearing cost nearly $500. Drove it a month and started hearing a roaring noise. I took it in again and the bearing had caused the hub to go bad. I was not charged this second time. I was told they had other all wheel drive vehicles in with this problem.
Oil pump seal oil leak, fixed under warranty. Still loosing oil found head gasket leak, will fix under warranty. Dealer said engine still using oil, but they will not fix it as they say 1 quart every 1000 miles is normal. But dealer want to check the vehicle every 2000 miles.

Vehicle is losing aproximately one quart of oil every 1000 miles. The vehicle does not appear to be "burning" oil nor is it leaking. This amount of oil loss appears high to me. I called Subaru international in New Jersey and they said this is "normal" for a Subaru. I find this very hard to believe that a vehicle can lose 1 quart of oil every 1000 miles. I asked the dealer (marzolf Subaru) to fix it, and they said no as it was not un-normal for a Subaru to lose this much oil. Thankyou for looking into this problem.
Ongoing problem with engine hesitating intermittently whenever vehicle sits for more then two days. Vehicle been in dealer shop, and problem still occurring.
