Example complaints

“The rear wheel bearings emit a low pitch noise that increases in amplitude with speed. The noise has been getting progressively worse, to the point where at highway speeds, it is difficult to hold a conversation with anyone sitting in the back seat. I am told there is a wheel bearing recall for a different model Subaru of this same model year, but the Subaru dealership says it does not include my VIN. They estimate the repair at $850.”
NHTSA complaint #10735868, filed 2015-07, 98,000 miles“I had to replace the right rear wheel bearing in september of 2009 with 63,455 miles, then in february, 2012 at 99,985 miles I had to replace the left rear wheel bearing, and again on july 7, 2014, I have had to replace the right rear wheel bearing again at 118,903 miles. This seems to be a rather excessive failure of Subaru's design, since I have never experienced nor to I know anyone who has experienced any type of re-occurring failures with wheel bearings on other vehicles. …”
