The failure occurred when Subaru decided to no longer service my vehicle under warranty. Leading up to when I had to sell the vehicle on 8/23/2001 I had the right rear wheel bearing replaced at 43,460 miles. The left head gasket changed on 12/28/2001 at 48,817 miles. The airflow meter sensor was recalled on 7/22/2002 with 55,797 miles. The clutch would stick to the floor so I had to have the clutch master cylinder gravity bled on 7/22/2002 as well. The right rear wheel bearing went out again on 8/9/2002 with 57,454. All the above thing were replace and performed under warranty. I personally had to pay to replace the right valve cover gasket, alternator belt, O2 sensor, knock sensor, fuel pump, and exhaust y pipe. I sold the car because the head gasket started to go out again, the clutch need replaced, and the transmission gear oil, and motor oil were both leaking. I expressed my concern to Subaru (locally and nationally) and they were unwilling to help with the repair of the head gasket since I did not have the scheduled coolant service performed at Subaru. Well I had within a couple miles. Subaru changed the first head gasket at 48,817 miles and it when out again at 82,796 miles a difference of around 33,000 and the service is scheduled for every 30,000 miles.
