Blew 3 valve gaskets within two weeks after buying car. Blew 2 tires within 2 months of having the car. They 'fixed' an oil control valve and then it needed another. Sway bar links needed replaced, cv joints need replaced, brake pads are extremely low. Ac doesn't work. Had to buy all new tires.

Impreza 4-cyl

  • 99,000 miles
When driven on dry pavement the car behaves normally. However, when the car is driven on hard packed snow or wet pavement the rear end of the car wobbles violently from side to side, making it highly unstable. This problem occurs at relatively slow speeds (below 50 mph). This problem increases when the car is subject to loads such as additional passengers or cargo. Similar complaints have referred to the problem as "ghost walking".
