    Warning light on 2002 Subaru Outback

    Subaru Subaru Advice Subaru Outback Subaru Outback Advice Subaru Outback 2002
    Every now and then the engine warning light on our dealer-serviced 2002 Subaru Outback comes on with a loss of power. At its last service they mentioned it might be an oxygen sensor that needs replacing, but did not seem very interested in the problem. Is this a common problem? Should I be worried?

    Without wishing to send you into a blind panic I would have it diagnosed and fixed. It is likely to get worse and eventually could bring the car to halt altogether, leaving you or your family stranded. It is likely to be a sensor as the dealer suggests, perhaps a crank angle sensor, and they should be able to identify it and replace if needed.
