I had my headlight repaired at the dealership on 3/18/20. While there they did a complimentary safety inspection of the vehicle and it passed with flying colors. I drove the car home and parked it in the carport. I noticed a few days later that the driver's side rear tire was tipped in on the top. I brought the vehicle to a mechanic who informed me that the subframe was totally rusted out and caused the tire to be rubbing against the inside of the wheel well, which ruined a brand new tire. I now have to have the whole subframe replaced in order to be able to drive the vehicle as the subframe totally rusted out. The same thing happened to a friend of mine who had a 2003 baja. She ended up junking the vehicle. I have not received a quote from the mechanic yet on the repairs. *tr

I had the head gaskets and timing belt replaced at 142,000 miles. Brand new. I put oil in my car every time I filled up with gas, as I was told subarus burn a lot of oil. The low light never came on, never had a check engine light come on. Three months later, at 145,000, without any indication that something IS wrong, going 70 on the freeway, in 5TH gear, I hear a "pop" sound and my car starts to lose power, smoke IS coming from the engine. I get pulled over, safely thank goodness, and car dies. No longer will turn on. Smoke IS pouring from the engine. I am towed to the mechanics where they tell me they "think" a rod bearing through a rod through the engine. Not sure IS this could be caused by the recall, but something did. I'm quite frustrated at this car, not to mention, the cost. So. I am checking. Thank you.

I have a 2006 baja turbo, obsidian black, 5 speed. It has (60K) on the odometer. I bought it new and loved it from day one. However, february of last year that love was lost. The cel came on and I went to autozone to have the code pulled. It showed po304. I was told it was a misfire on cylinder #4. I asked the guy there what the cause could be. He said it could be anything from a fuel injector, to the coil pack or a valve issue. I looked up on this forum and there were multiple cases that pulled up. I read what fixes worked for some and not for others. I tried injector cleaner. That did nothing. I installed a new coil pack on cylinder four. It ran better for a short time and then the cel came back on. I replaced all four spark plugs. Once again a short term fix, just a few miles. Finally, I installed a new fuel injector. Again better, then much worse. I took to the baja to a local subaru dealer fearing the worst. Sure enough, burnt exhaust valves on cylinders #2 and #4. They gave a rough quote of 5-6K to fix it. I was offered 7K for the truck in the shape it was in. angered by the whole experience, I sent a letter to subaru of america and subaru japan explaining in great detail the issue and that there were several similar cases noted online in various models of subaru with the ej255 engine. I was hoping they would offer some assistance, no dice. They basically thanked for sending them the letter and telling them of the issue. They stated since the baja was out of warranty and there was no recall for this issue, there was nothing they would do. *tr

My vehicle IS currently in the shop for the 8TH time for the same problem. Each time a different part or parts were replaced and each time the dealer stated that the car was fixed but the same behavior would come back, sometimes within a week or sometimes many months after the repair. There IS no rhyme or reason as to when it happens (ie. Nothing leads up to it happening) but basically, it hesitates and sputters or lunges forward while you are accelerating. It's as if the acceleration just drops out but then comes back or accelerates and then backs off again. Sometimes it IS subtle; sometimes it hesitates or accelerates violently. I have spoken to the manufacturer several times about this problem. They have extended my warranty for free and also provide me with a loaner car when it IS in for service as a sign of good will, but it IS obvious that this car IS dangerous. I am seriously afraid that eventually I will be hit from behind when it hesitates or hit someone from behind when it accelerates unexpectedly. I'm not sure the car IS even able to be fixed considering they have been trying to repair it for 2 years now. Dates of service are 11/20/06, 12/3/06, 2/12/07, 2/21/07, 3/8/07, 3/8/08, 7/22/08 and 11/8/08 (the dealer still has it as of today, 12/9/08). Days out of service IS approx. 82 so far. I don't know if the old parts are available as the dealer has kept all of those; I do have service records for each time at the dealer for repairs and what was done each time. I am also currently dealing with a regional rep from subaru who never returns my calls. I've owned one other subaru and only had minor and ordinarily problems with that car. Subaru needs to step up and do the right thing by getting this dangerous car off the road. *Tr

On march 16TH 2007 I was driving from my home in fort myers florida to a business meeting in clearwater florida. I was driving on interstate 75 going north. I was approximately a quarter of a mile from the skyway bridge. since this IS a toll bridge I was decreasing in speed getting ready to make a stop, at that time, there was a loud explosion and before I could think I was beginning to lose control of the car. the explosion or implosion was the rear driver side tire completely came off the rim of the car. this sent me into a tail spin trying to control the car at which time the car came up on two wheels. I then proceeded into the ditch and was able to stop the car. I then called roadside assistance which the tow truck driver stated he never saw anything like this. we were able to get a spare tire on the car so that I could drive to a tire shop to have the tire replaced. this was a nightmare to say the least. I first called the dealership since I happened to purchase the car from a dealership in which my business meeting was being held. the car dealership mastro motors stated that they do not keep tires in stock. I explained this care almost killed me and the response was that I purchased tire insurance to call them. I then called subrau only to be told that they do not warranty the tires and that I would have to call bridgestone. I then called bridgestone and they were not able to help me find an athorized service center. I then found a firestone tire outlet in which after driving around all weekend on a spare tire were finally able to get the correct tire for my car and replace it. I now have the tire that exploded on in my possesion as proof that this tire IS clearly a defect as I have not owned my car more that six months. I purchased this car new and it has about 5400 miles total on the car. at this time I do not feel safe with the tires on this car. *ak

While driving a subaru baja 2006 model I swerved and rolled over after fish tailing. I also almost did the same in a 2005 model but only came up off two wheels but did not roll it , even though it was close. I suspect a tendency for the baja to roll over IS a design flaw. *nm
