Problems with 1999 Subaru Legacy ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING

I recently bought a used 1999 subaru legacy wagon. the previous owner told me there was an oil leak that resulted from the oil filter fracturing. this caused smoke to come from oil burning on the hot exhaust manifold. after owning the car for a few days, i had the oil changed and noticed that the vehicle still smokes around the exhaust manifold after driving it. i can also hear oil dripping from the filter onto the manifold. while online reviewing my car insurance, i noticed that this very problem is a recall defect. i followed instructions and called subaru about this. the representative named patricia said that there was no recalls for this vehicle and quickly ended the conversation. i know this is an issue with this vehicle and need this addressed. my wife and baby ride in this car. the recall # is -98v127000. thank you. *tr

Car overheated randomly. have replaced radiator, water pump, 3 thermostats, head gaskets, and had heads machined at shop. still overheated and died frequently. had it to mechanic multiple times. each time they say it was fixed. being towed back to repair shop today because it won't even start now. *ak

Dt: the contact states there is a nhtsa recall campaign id #98v127000 concerning the engine. this consumer experienced the same symptoms as indicated in the recall, but his vehicle identification number was not included in the recall. there have been no repairs to the vehicle. *jb

Complained several times to dealer that car had no power, poor gas mileage, hesitation upon starting out, motor fell apart at 66,000 miles on interstate. car, although a new motor, continues to have no power, poor gas mileage, hesitation upon starting out. what's going to keep the motor from blowing up again, and maybe we be killed. o2 and pt sensors continues to blow. sunroof will not open;advised a new one would be $975. sunroof complaint at 13,680 miles.

Car hesitates to accelerate until 2500 rpm, then jumps.

No summary listed for above vehicle. *ak

Engine check light came on. dealer said i had a burned cylinder. this was at 108,000 miles. a second mechanic confirmed that misfiring in cylinder no. 4 was occurring and further stated that compression in all four cylinders was below specificiations. he further stated that the defect occurred during manufacturing and was not a result of anything i did or did not do to the car. subaru of american contacted and offered $1,000 toward a new car, but said otherwise it was my problem because the car was out of warranty.*ak

Engine failure due to cracked #2 piston; cross member was mis-manufactured-camber could not be adjusted to spec.

Vehicle leaks oil, and the oil flaws all over engine. dealership is aware of problem. *ak
