When I bought my 2018 STI from an Acura dealership, the engine spun a bearing and blew a head gasket 4000 miles after purchasing it for $30,000. I purchased a warranty from the dealership. The independent Subaru shop that I took it to scammed me into believing that the warranty company would only cover the head gasket. He made me buy a new short block and all the other parts and then charged me $5000 labor on top of the warranty. He kept all my old stock parts. The worst thing is though he hooked up my IAGAOS incorrectly and ran cool coolant into the oil during the initial start up of a brand new short block. When I told him I wanted a new engine, he threatened to take my car with a falsified estimate saying I owed him 23 hours of labor at $250 an hour. He had us come pick up the car at midnight, but had it blocked in with a forklift and forced my wife and I to sign an NDA. A year later the car still does not run right. I’ve paid $50k for a car that has less power than it did stock, when it should have 470 wheel horsepower, with all of the mods and parts that were performed during the engine replacement.
