Replying to: aatherton (Aug 30, 2008 1:17 pm) Those original head gaskets have lasted 216k miles already, so any failure now would be overdue.

Replying to: sibmx (Nov 24, 2007 8:56 pm) You are right. The reliability is terrible. My experience is based on 2009 xt 4ats that had the engine completely seize. Sounded like silverware in a disposal for a few minutes. Dealer called me to tell me I need a new engine today. The car has 9600 miles on it. All of the maintenance was done by Subaru at the recommended intervals. This car is such a piece of Junk. Subaru of America is not to helpful either.   Very disappointing. I made the mistake of believing all of the reviews. Replies to this message: paisan (Dec 01, 2008 8:28 pm)
#57 of 59 XT engine failure by dontbuyxt Dec 01, 2008 (8:28 pm)
Anyone else had their 2009 XT Forester had their engine completely fail.   Dealer called me back to tell me that the car needs a new engine. This is on a car that has 9600 miles!!! Plus, all of the maintenance was done by Subaru at the proper intervals, etc. What an incredible piece of junk. Very disappointed.   Of course; it didnt help that the car engine crapped out thanksgiving night in the snow with my kids in the car....on a remote road in northern michigan.   DONT BUY THE XT.....you will pay.

Replying to: dontbuyxt (Dec 01, 2008 8:21 pm) There are good and bad cars made by every and I mean EVERY manufacturer.   One bad car does not make a bad brand. Sorry that your engine blew up, but any mechanical item (space shuttle included) can and will break.   -mike Subaru Guru and Track Instructor
