Alternative transportation was suppose to be provided at no additional cost to me. They provided me with a rental car which required me to put a $25.00 deposit down and which the rental company would not refund me the end after I returned the car. This, to me, is not providing me with alternative transportation at no additional cost. It was the dealerships decision to use a rental car. Not mine. My son is driving this car and was using the dealership in springfield mo.

What 2006 Subaru Outback Sport owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
The fuel door release cable rusted through and came attached from the lever on the floor of the drivers side footwell.
Airbag light at the lower l side of the instrument cluster remains illuminated. Annoying chime sounds the entire time the car is on. I've read online that the problem lies in a pcb up by the map lights. Will check the solder on all resisters and leds on that pcb. Most who reflow the solder claim this resolves the issue. Subaru of america wan'ts $300+ to replace the entire overhead console.
I have 2006 subaru out back sport wagon which is a basic subaru impreza wagon with dual paint. Automatic transmission. While on road car begin to choke and check engine light and cruisecontrol light came on and start blinking. The car engine wants to cut off whenever in stop so in low idle and it did cut off on the drive way. From the shop diagnose retrived dtc p0304 cylider #4 misfire check ignition, fuel system ok, check compression 25psi recommend engine shop, possible valve problem. I also had same car transmission rebuild on the car 97xxx miles ago. Cost $3589.xx. Now I need to rebuild the engine, man this subaru is a nightmare.
