This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.

I am sure you have received other complaints regarding the 2.5L engine in 1997 Subaru Legacy GT's. the head gaskets are very weak, which when they blow, can cause a loss of power due to a rush of coolant flowing into the system, which kills the engine. This problem is very widespread, and Subaru does not admit anything. However, in Canada, Subaru was sued for this same issue. There are thousands of people out there that are experiencing erratic failure with these head gaskets, and there isn't even a tsb on them. Please, help us!
I was told that there was a water pump leaking problem. So they changed it about 5000 mils later I have an over heating problem. Now they tell me I might have a cracked head or a cracked head gasket.but they cant tell evan after the test.now they want to go in.
