Most Subarus come with a 3-year/36,000 mile bumper-to-bumper warranty. (and a 5-year/60,000 mile powertrain warranty) If your luck is anything like ours, something non-powertrain will stop working either a little over 3 years and/or 36,000 miles. I think many products are basically designed to only last as long as the warranty.Considering I only drive 2700 miles per year if I live 20 more years to 90 and am still driving which are 2 big ifs my car will only have 54k miles on it so I doubt I will ever need a single repair.
We had an ignition control module fail at 36,200 miles, but the car had been put into service about 3-1/2 years before it failed. We did buy the car used at 1-year-old, with over 20,000 miles.
Luckily the module, along with new spark plugs and plug wires was less than $200 on Amazon, and I replaced all of the parts in a little over an hour in the driveway.
