Hi, I have had a run of bad luck with my 2009 Subaru Outback, and was hoping I'd reached the end of it. But my check engine light came on in the evening two days ago. After that, I drove home 5 miles. I took it in the following morning - the verdict was that something chewed through one of the spark plug wires. Ok, so I had that fixed. This morning I call the mechanic and they're telling me that I actually drove 65 miles on 3 cylinders (this was before the check engine light came on) and that this put a lot of stress on the engine, and might have caused damage to the engine. Well, I just had a brand new engine put in last month, so I am totally freaked out at this point. They said not to worry about it too much, but how can I not worry?? I guess my question is, how worried should I be? Thanks, Bev
