problem #1

Sep 032014

Forester Limited 2.5xt

  • Automatic transmission
  • 57,000 miles

I bought this car in 2013 with 35,000 miles on it. Because it was a turbo engine I paid particular attention to making sure the oil was changed on time, as well as letting the engine warm up at start up each and every time and letting it cool down before shutting it off. That in it of itself was a real pain in the ass but I put a remote starter in it when I bought it to make it easier. The car was not abused in the least. I'm in my late 50s and no young person was driving it. The turbo blew at just under the 5 year warranty. I can't recall exactly how many miles were on it but I believe it was low 50,000.
