| Steering problems |
Purchased vehical 3-4 months ago w/ 86k miles. Oil leaks in head gasket ( quart every 6 weeks. . Researched this and turns out this is a very common problem from 1999- 2013. On all Foresters. Manufacturer used more sealant and less gasket on that engine. Why wasn't this recalled?? easily verified via tube or internet. The other issue is lower control arm bushings worn out at 86k miles. Steering is very un stable.
