2009 Subaru Legacy Questions
with cold start up(very cold weather 12-9-10), when I turn on the igniton there a winding sound for 1-2 seconds, then the normal cranking sound to start-up. only happens with cold engine. other start-ups are normal during the day. last summer(2009), dealer installed new battery.
It seems like the Subaru cars don't really need the big repairs until after 100K which is the maximum service contract I could get. Is it worth getting that contract? They want $1,800 for mine.
2009 Subaru Legacy Recalls
In areas where salt is used on the roads, slush containing road salt can splash through a gap in the fuel tank protector resulting in corrosion of the brake lines. This corrosion may lead to brake fluid leakage resulting in reduced braking performance, increasing the risk of a crash. Dealers will inspect the affected vehicles and leaking brake lines will be replaced. Anti-corrosion rustproofing wax will be applied to all recalled vehicles.
