  1. Right now it's only tires that need replacing and she agrees with that. Over the past year it's been an entire short block, brakes, crank position sensor and new master cylinder and brake booster. Before that I'd have to check. She's stated that over the past 3 years (since 55k miles about) she's spent about $600/month on repairs, totaling close to, if not over, $20,000. The car is still under 100k miles. That is the issue. I've heard people get results when contacting SoA, but I'm not sure what results we can expect. A coupon for repairs maybe? On the outback forum where I cross posted this, we've heard stories of the dealer she's using. Not good stories. We also know that bringing a 10 year old car to the dealer for work is not a good idea. We are working on finding local, reputable independent shops. She's not close to me or my sister so that is a challenge. She's also mostly alone. She's not well, but she's also living with and caring for her mother. No real friends in the area to help her find a shop. I still feel the car was a lemon, and she should've started this process years ago. Thanks for the help!
  2. This is probably the wrong place for this, but I'm trying to help a friend. I'm a gen3 outback sedan owner (I know, a rare car for sure). I already cross post this on the SubaruOutback.org forum. My friend, well my sister's friend, has a 2010 Legacy. It has less than 100k miles on it and has been to her local dealer too many things to mention. From multiple brake replacements to crank position sensors. She estimates having spent close to $20k in repairs since buying it new. All work done by dealer and she (and I) are convinced it's the classic "woman vs mechanic" issues. I think she got a lemon and the dealer never made good. Not to make this a sob story, but she's in cancer treatments, and in chronic pain from multiple back surgeries from a prior injury. She's not able to travel more than an hour or sit for too long or do much so her local dealer is her only option (according to her). I have told her of the massive success stories of AZP installs for us NJ folk, but it's just a bit too far for her. I've heard people get good results when they call Subaru Of America. Should I tell her to basically tattle on her dealer and see if she can get some of the needed re-repairs done? I think her local dealer is World Subaru in Tinton Falls, NJ if anyone has any experience. Any other advice welcome! Thanks y'all.
