My car as been seen by Subaru dealership since the day I bought it in 2012. I paid for 5 years. After I finished paying in July, I just discovered that is an oil leak , all my engine from front to back is dirty with oil, a second opinion mechanic stated that he does not know how I am using this car for years like that. But the car just had last year a head gasket changed "by charity" , offer of Subaru factory to me and the dealership in moline, IL did the change. How after pulling down the engine they never noticed the oil leak and smoking. I once was there with my son, changed oil, smoke came up, drove back to them and they told me that was an oil spill probably. I paid 283 dollars for 5 years for a 2008 Subaru from the dealership glazman, PA with 60,000 miles, I had to many expenses that I can't imagine a car made like that to be sold. I just finished paying the car and now I have a junk car. I can't afford another car it has only 114, 000 miles. It is very upsetting what they do to costumers. I have no words.
