This car has had problems with check engine light, cruise control, wheel bearings and the axles. It mirrors the problems with our 2004 Outback and the dealers won't or can't fix the problems. We have replaced the ECM, wheel barrings twice, brakes, wheels and axles. Check engine light comes on and goes off. Vehicle has shown low failure on the convertor, but this one again the dealers will not replace the convertor unless they see the codes. Codes have been seen and printed out by two independent shops, but unless Subaru see them they will not take the word of the other shops or the owners.
This 02 sensor is a pain in my butt since it has happened before.( exactly 9,804 miles ago,when check engine light came on again)) and Subaru charged $500 to replace it. Although the 1st. sensor replaced was guaranteed, it would cost $100.00 to hook car up to even see if it was that same sensor. I had to (wanted too) hunt down a foreign auto mechanic who then charged $342.00. Not happy
