problem #2

Legacy 4WD

  • miles
1) all 4 rims have a tendency to collect road silt and water inside. This imbalances the car and may explain some of the brake problems. Perhaps airflow under the vehicle should be studied. 2) pads and springs located on frame where the rear gate closes against the body are rusted tight. 3) dash lights for HVAC have failed at about 30,000 miles. 4) gas gauge does not descend accuratly.
