Example complaints

“Right rear wheel bearing replaced 63948, 67346, 84427 miles. Had to go on the internet to find out that it is a common problem. Shortly after buying the car (new) the engine started making a noise like something rattling inside of it. I took it to the dealer and they said it was a common problem and they would do nothing about it. They would have to take the engine apart, and since the problem wasn't dangerous, they wouldn't fix it. Very, very disappointed in Subaru customer service.”
NHTSA complaint #10236253, filed 2008-07, 63,948 miles“This is the second time the rear bearings have gone out on this car (previous owner had replaced. So far, the dealer has been great. However, the front bearings are starting to go out (at 38,900k) and I am not sure if the dealer is still going to be as good- they claim that they need to talk to the manufacturer. I will be contacting Subaru in the meantime. I have done research on this car, and this is not an isolated problem- but seems to have happened with a handful of people. …”
