It can be an issue with lots of Subi s over the years. I had 1 or 2 on my 08 Outback at 60K plus, then on my other 4 Subi s, 14,15,17 I have had no issues yet. I have had friend have two go out on their Outback with less than 10K on the car. So it is an issue for some but it s warrantied and a pretty easy fix. Other vehicle have issues too as theses parts are made by manufactures. Salty roads can bring it on sooner as can hitting lots of pot holes. I wouldn t make my choice on a car based on this alone.
