As soon as the car aged to 75,000 miles I started having problems. The closest Subaru dealer is 51 miles away from my current location. Not easy to get to. My in town mechanic has only been trying to treat the symptoms. I've had thermostat, heater core, valve covers, spark plug wires replaced, hoses replaced, and still has not fixed the issue. I took it to a Subaru dealer this morning, still overheating, and he says I have a blown head gasket and I will have to replace valve covers, wires, obviously the head gasket and possibly a few other parts. Labor alone is a 1000 dollars. Subaru should take full responsibility for this as I am noticing that there are several posts and several websites with owners having the exact same issues. I really have enjoyed owning a Subaru up until now. I don't know what else can be done.
