Tl-the contact owns a 2000 Subaru forrester. The contact stated while driving 50 mph the vehicle started over heating. He pull to the side of the road and notice coolant coming from underneath of the vehicle. He notices the vehicle has a blown head gasket and leaking radiator coolant. The vehicle was towed to a mechanic shop who repaired the vehicle. The dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 85,000. . . Mw.
Had 2000 Subaru Forester (83,000 mi) at dealer for inspection. Dealer notified us that car failed due to external head gasket leak. Dealer says there is oil dripping on the exhaust system and it is a fire hazard so unless we replace head gasket the car fails. Subaru previously acknowledged a defect with this 2. 5l engine and had a campaign where the "fix" was adding a conditioner to the coolant. Obviously the "fix" didn't do the job and others out there are a risk of a catastrophic fire.
The oxygen senor failed, which caused the vehicle to stall. The senor was replaced three times.
