The most expensive proposition was a new windshield, but your particular insurance could solve that. Spark plug replacement was a surprise as far as cost is concerned. I've routinely changed the oil and cvt fluid once. No other maintenance issues. I love the car. Incredible roominess in the cabin and very capable offroad when needed.
My 2015 outback has 140k miles. I just did spark plugs and belt, brakes. That's the only maintenance I've ever done other than tires and batteries.
Subaru forester. Mine is a 15. Comfortable, decent gas mileage, able to seat 4 with stuff in back. Kayaks fit on roof. AWD helps in rain and snow. Easy to do basic maintenance, but spark plugs SUCK.
I changed my coils and spark plugs and it fixed this same issue
I had this 8 months ago in my FG
New spark plugs and coil packs fixed it.
2013 3.5 hitting 170k miles within a few days. Second owner so not sure how it was maintained during it\u2019s life but I\u2019ve done 10k miles so far, needed a waterpump and sparkplugs but it\u2019s pretty normal wear and tear
Stock Ford ones were $9 a piece at my local dealer…
I now dread doing spark plugs. Something that’s super easy to do on most 4 cyl cars is a PITA doing on my ej25.
These things literally blast out spark plugs ????. Lots of other tricky issues too. I'm know I'm very biased towards GM but I wouldn't mess with this generation at all for a Ford lol.
ford. had the explorer with the long spark plugs that break. did them once and that truck wasnt around much longer. focus. dual clutch transmission failure.
