Defective drive shaft defective viscous coupler defective suspension no deaths or accidents yet I am afraid that my life and safety are seriously at risk and none of the Subaru techs will acknowledge a problem or agree to fix. I had the above defects diagnosed by an auto shop not affiliated with Subaru. There may be other problems too.

Purchased car with 78k on it. Prior it driving from colorado to wisconsin, had it looked over. Replaced leaking water pump, timing belt, and leaking fwd drive shaft seal. Within a week of getting to wisconsin, radiator and driver side head gasket found to be leaking. Head gaskets are big on Subaru web sights. Soa recommends a "conditioner" to put in the radiator, but it was not available yet. Parts guy said problem was that owners are not allowing car to warm up in cold environments.
