problem #1

Jun 062005

Outback 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 19,035 miles
My 2003 Subaru Outback, ll bean model with 17,378 miles, developed a serious water leak through the roof, on Jun. 2, 2005. I purchased this vehicle new and purchased an extended warranty. This problem re-occurred on October 17th with the interior flooded which necessitated the carpeting in the rear to be completely replaced. On Nov. 10th, 2005, after a light rain, the roof leaked again for the 3rd. Time. The car is in the dealer service now.
