“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. …”
