My boss was a loyal Subaru owner and had an older Subaru outback. she always had it serviced at the Subaru dealer and never checked her oil level (I would say most people don't check their oil levels, especially if it is regularly serviced). at 110,000 miles the engine failed, the car was towed to the dealer and the service manager told her that the car had 110,000 miles and that was just basically the life of the engine. she was of course furious and after fighting with Subaru corporate for weeks they finally agreed to pay for half of the engine repair. She learned by researching online that that particular engine had issues with burning oil. Once the car was repaired and she picked it up she asked if the car was reliable to make a long road trip and they said yes. the car ended up breaking down on the way. It turned out the transmission failed. She tried to get them to repair it for free and of course they wouldn't. she got rid of the car and now drives a vw golf gti.
