We just bought this car a few months ago. I started overheating occasionally so we stopped driving it. I thought it was the coolant overflow bottle but we replaced it and it doesn't seem to be the problem anymore. The oil is at a good level and there is coolant. Is this a typical problem with this year? Also, the fan doesn't kick on like its supposed to. I plan on getting it looked over at a subaru dealer but thought I'd ask here as well. It has 156,000 miles on it and the last owner really didn't have much information about it's past. It has never been overheated(to our knowledge), we always catch it before its too late.
