| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The bearing problem started as soon as i bought the car - originally under warranty. no problem, until car failed first inspection (after initial for purchase) due to rear bearings. replaced several times (after the first 'fix', parts covered thankfully under subaru parts warranty). now out of warranty and concerned that the dealer will postpone 'agreeing' that the bearings are indeed what i am now hearing (again) until the parts warranty dries up and i have to pay the full load. also, car was driven at another dealership for a potential trade/sale, the rep said there was a tranny problem. i put in a different tranny fluid (i'd always noticed the steering vibration in hard, slow speed turns like parking), and that lessened the problem. i don't feel tranny fluid is a fix, but also do not feel that a tranny w/68,000 miles should have already been showing signs of potential failure. not many mechanics will touch this car, so owning an svx (otherwise pure joy) leaves you at the mercy of the diagnosis of the subaru dealer's mechanic. |
