Head gasket OEM Honda or OEM Subaru

2013 3.6R and it's been a great car 207k on the odometer and the worse thing I had to do was a head gasket. No other issues with regular maintenance and well worth the price of keeping the car on the road.

My 2016 civic touring had the 1.5T and I say on a weekly basis how much I miss my “old” civic (have a 2004 now). Thing was so much fun and so quick. And it lasted, with no issues, until 220,000 miles when the head gasket went and I traded it in. I was not easy on it either. And there were a few oil changes where I went a few thousand over.

Head gaskets. You're on the cusp of a very expensive and very necessary repair if it has not been done already. I "got a steal" on a 2001 Legacy wagon years ago. 130,000 miles. The head gaskets went at 140,000 and I was not in a financial position to have the car fixed. Absolutely loved the car.

I had a dark blue 1997 2.5GT five-speed sedan for a few years. I really liked that car a lot. Not fast per se but it handled well, was comfortable, and looked great.

I have this exact same car and it started throwing rich oil, misfiring on 1 and 4 plus low coolant. I replaced the coil packs and plugs myself and the codes still popped up. Had fuel injectors replaced and it fixed codes but coolant still ran low. Head gasket was the culprit.

I dumped way too much money into keeping it running and only got about 6000 miles out of it before the headgasket blew and after getting that fixed It went around 600 more miles before it spun a bearing and blew a hole out the side of the block

my wife's 2017 CR-V blew a head gasket at 133k, despite doing all the maintenance items when they were required., including yep.. regular oil changes when required. Honda dealer straight up lied and told me it was because I didn't change the oil, such BS. Took the car to another place, asked them to confirm this.. go figure, it was not true. I saw the engine myself. We just got the damn thing back after two months of tracking down a used engine, they are hard to find. That tells me this happens often. We ended up replacing the engine, but the turbocharger it came with was cracked so another had to shell out another 1k or something. All in all it was 8k. The frickin car will be paid off in January, we were so close. Anyways.. Come to find out there are class-action lawsuits in Canada over the 1.5 engine, I'm sure there will be one in the US as well after researching it. tons of issues. Lots of other manufacturer's have had issues with these little engines with high compression.

Not even 6 months into it the head gasket exploded and the engine was completely fucked.

company knew of head gasket issues and still continued to sell the design.
