My independent mechanic is at wits end (last attempt was free) - - all spark plugs have been replaced, coils have been replaced, and the injectors have been all pulled cleaned and tested. Compressions tests are well within the acceptable range as are all vacuum tests and the only “straw to grasp” is the valves may need to be adjusted but he does not have the Subaru tool to do it. The 2009 Legacy GT only has 130,000 miles on it. Earlier, the dealership did not know if a valve job for $3k would solve the problem, but they would take the car as a trade-in and the mechanic wanted to buy it (outside the dealership). I love the car and feel an attachment, but why would I want to trade-in for a Subaru?? I have just gone into the routine of disconnecting the battery for 15 minutes to re-set the engine light for 10 minutes and drive to destination. The dashboard continues to be “sticky”, an other non-Subaru problem so many other’s have listed. My husband’s 05 and then 14 Honda’s (the 05 had 310K miles with less that $500 in total repairs including a cruise control switch) have never treated him so badly. Now when I see a Subaru ad on the TV all that comes to mind the McDonald’s ad of “I’m loving it” - - the screwing!!
