1998 Subaru Legacy Postal Wagon on 2040-cars
Emmaus, Pennsylvania, United States

1998 Subaru Postal Wagon Factory Right Hand Drive All wheel drive Green Mileage 213638 Inspection 10/14 Front disc brakes and rear drum brakes. The mileage on this vehicle is a combination of route miles and regular driving miles, I worked 25 miles from home so 50 miles per day were for driving back and forth and 38 miles for the route 11 days in two weeks. The last 18 months it has not been used often. Air conditioner and heater work very well. This car has ran well the 6 years I’ve had it. It is very reliable and if I didn’t need the money I wouldn’t be selling it. Also I no longer work for the post office so it is not needed for work. I have done lots of repairs like tie rod ends, axle boots, replaced fuel filter two times, replaced plugs, wires and coil two times, both catalytic converters were replaced. And of coarse brakes and rotors every 6 to 8 months. There is a new radiator, replaced about 2 years ago. Idle air control valve was replaced. All the pulley’s inside the motor that runs the water pump and belts were replaced along with the water pump. Timing belt was replaced at 150,000 miles. Starter was replaced. Two years ago I replaced the transmission with a used one. Both oxygen sensors on the exhausts have been replaced. What is needed soon: front brakes and rotors, last time I replaced front brakes I didn’t replace the rotors and you can tell, it thumps when on the brake heavy. Tires are good but may be needed for inspection in October. Things wrong with car: The antenna is broken so the radio stations do not come in well, I have a Pioneer CD played installed so I just listen to audio books. Plus four Sony speakers, right now the rear speakers are not working only because the plugs vibrate off occasionally. One of the speed sensor controls isn’t working properly causing a squealing noise when it is driven and sometimes the speedometer/odometer does not work. I have researched this problem and found out there is 5 or 6 speed sensors on this car. One in each wheel and two on the transmission. I figured out that one of the speed sensors on the transmission controls the odometer/speedometer so I am pretty sure its on the trans but I have not replaced it because I am not positive as to these findings. This speed sensor control also triggers the engine light on but with a code reader it easily clears. The other issue it has is when its cold and you go up a hill or need extra power to accelerate it bogs out and stales. Once you stop and restart it the car runs fine. This also causes the engine light to go on and the codes are miss fire codes. Since I have replaced plugs, wired, coil, both catalytic converters, and o2 sensors, I haven’t figured out what causes this. This does not happen a lot so it’s hard to figure out. I was told it may be the exhaust manifold gasket but I am not sure. The exterior of this vehicle has been painted with different colors to try to prevent rusting because the paint is peeling off. There is some body rust around the wheel fenders that are bubbling up and the insides of both back doors were holes, these holes were repaired with Bondo and primer but not painted. The front bumper was cut off half way down because it would hit on some of the driveways. This passed inspection with the bumper cut off. There is a dent on the left side rear door, this has been sanded down and painted over but not pulled out and other “typical mail box damage”. I have tried to be as honest as possible about everything with this vehicle. |

Subaru recalling almost 634,000* CUVs, sedans for possible puddle light short
Thu, 03 Jan 2013The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announced a massive recall campaign today for some of the more popular Subaru models due to defective puddle lights that could short out and possibly lead to smoke and/or fire.
(*)While the recall notice lists a total of 633,842 Forester, Legacy, Outback and Tribeca models from various model years, Automotive News is reporting that there are only 53,999 units actually equipped with the defective lights, but Subaru is having to make the massive recall since it is unable identify which vehicles have the lights.
The problem with the 2009 through 2012 Forester, 2006 through 2012 Tribeca and the 2010 through 2011 Legacy and Outback is that the puddle lights mounted under the door mirrors can collect water or moisture, which can lead to the short. To fix the problem, Subaru is adding an extra fuse to the wiring harness as a part of the recall that will go into effect next month. For Forester owners, this is the second major recall in less than a year following the 275,000 units that were afflicted with faulty rear seatbelts.
Mazda, Mitsubishi, and Subaru expand global Takata recalls by 715k [UPDATE]
Fri, May 22 2015UPDATE: Subaru of America spokesperson Michael McHale tells Autoblog that the company is recalling 78,000 Imprezas from the 2004 and 2005 model years in the US. This is a national expansion of the company's previous regional recall for the Impreza. The Takata airbag inflator recall just keeps growing. The latest expansion encompasses 715,000 vehicles from Mazda, Mitsubishi, and Subaru. Many of the affected models are in Japan. The largest expansion from these three automakers comes from Mitsubishi. According to Reuters, the company is adding 100,000 vehicles in Japan and 412,000 outside of the country without identifying any specific regions. Mazda is issuing safety campaigns for 112,000 vehicles in Japan, and some of these include models that the company produces there for Mitsubishi and Nissan, according to Reuters. In statement to Autoblog (embedded below), Mazda said that it is still evaluating the situation in terms of a possible effect on the US. Finally, Subaru is calling in 91,000 Imprezas in Japan. At this time, it isn't clear whether Mitsubishi's or Subaru's expansions affect the United States, but Autoblog has reached out to them for more information. According to research by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, exposure to moisture can cause the propellant in these inflators to ignite too quickly and cause these dangerous ruptures. Takata has also been investigating the problem. Related Video: Mazda statement "We are aware of the NHTSA/Takata announcement, and are evaluating the effects of it on Mazda. As soon as we have had a chance to fully evaluate the situation – number of vehicles affected, age of those vehicles, where they're located, etc. – we will be able to share those details."
