111k miles, they're not gonna cover that. I doubt it was serviced properly by the original owner anyway.   I'd also trade it in.   -juice Replies to this message: changer (Jan 24, 2005 11:12 am)

Replying to: joekane (Jan 24, 2005 7:42 am) The brake fluid could be starting to freeze. How many miles, and when is the last time it was flushed?   My 03 Outback did that last winter with about 9k miles. Had the brakes flushed, and never happened again. Rob M.

Replying to: ateixeira (Jan 24, 2005 8:28 am) Thanks for the advice. I think I've just about decided to trade it in. I hate to get back on the monthly payment bandwagon. One of these days maybe I'll have a car whose payments are complete and that will last a while longer.   Toyotas next.

Don't feel bad - our 626 gave us repeated troubles and we dumped it with less than 80k miles. So 111k ain't so bad.   -juice

Bought a 01 Forester at the end of 2003. almost made it through the winter when it started stalling at start up. To prevent it from dying once it started going a little bit, I had to press on the gas. the dealer told me that the computer couldn't read anything going wrong. I've made it this far in a snowy Chicago winter, but hate to be stranded in a blizzard anytime soon. Anyone had this experience?

I would go ahead and get a new battery now, that made startup better for me, plus it just ran smoother until it was warm.   Before you crank the starter, push the key into the On position and let the fuel pump prime the fuel pressure. That helps, too.   -juice

Replying to: hmyers (May 10, 2004 8:14 am)     Heather,   I've got the same year model and the exact same problem at 64K miles. What was the verdict on your problem?   Thanks, Allen   Heather wrote: My 1999 Legacy Outback has 88000 kilometers (about 45000 miles) and the transmission is a big problem. It's automatic and when i put the car into drive, it doesn't engage until i give it a lot of gas. then of course when it finally does engage, it jerks fairly violently. it will even shift out of gear and into neutral when i'm coasting to a stop at a light or something. it's getting fairly dangerous. these problems started happening the day after i took it in for a routine maintenance. is this a common subaru problem? any suggestions?    thanks, heather Replies to this message: flashman (Jan 25, 2005 8:04 pm) johnclarke58 (Feb 03, 2005 10:03 pm) fibber2 (Feb 04, 2005 6:01 am) and 5 more... nospam (Feb 15, 2005 4:36 pm) cereed (Jul 05, 2005 7:44 pm) and 4 more...

Replying to: natsuko (Jan 24, 2005 11:58 am) Does the stalling happen only at startup or does it tend to stall at other times as well (even when warm)? Also, after it stalls, will it start right back up again or do you find that you have to wait a few minutes?

Replying to: xwesx (Jan 24, 2005 1:23 pm) Does the stalling happen only at startup? Well, I've only noticed it when I go to start the car up in the morning. The mornings that this happens are not that cold though, 40 degrees F, even. After it stalls, it seems to need a few minutes for a solid start. Replies to this message: xwesx (Jan 24, 2005 5:16 pm)

Replying to: natsuko (Jan 24, 2005 1:38 pm) Hmm. Well, I can only relate that I had a stalling problem with my '96 OBW for a while and it would usually happen within 2-3 miles of startup, so well before the engine was up to operating temperature. It was very intermittent and so extremely unpredictable, but it also did not record an error code in the ECU. After spending a few hundred dollars on diagnostics, etc., a mechanic finally suggested that it might be the mass airflow sensor (MAS). I found a used one at a place in Seattle for about 1/3 the cost of new and figured it would be cheaper than paying another mechanic to guess again, so I installed it and have never had a stall problem since....   Now, mine always took a few minutes to start back up after the stall, but that may have been related to another, more nagging and persistent/predicable, problem. Anyhow, the MAS may be worth a try.
