CarComplaints.com Notes: A relatively dependable vehicle that handles well in bad weather, but increasing concerns about turbo failure in the GT probably means you should look elsewhere if you want a car with a little pep in its step.

2005 Subaru Legacy Owner Comments

problem #1

Jan 022012

Legacy GT 2.5L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 92,000 miles

A D V E R T I S E M E N T S

The first motor was replaced at 40,000, then something happened with the crank. They had to tear the motor apart at around 80,000 again. 92000 miles the turbo goes causing my motor to fail again. The first two warranties I had for Subaru, not this warranty. This is American Guardian, same thing happening but they're not going to replace it saying they will replace the Turbo but not the motor due to their own exceptions.

Ever since I had this car it has been in the shop every year. Simmons Rockwell in Big Flats has dealt with this problem for the last 9 years. Please respond, thank you 6073312794
