| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The failure occurred when subaru decided to no longer service my vehicle under warranty. leading up to when i had to sell the vehicle on 8/23/2001 i had the right rear wheel bearing replaced at 43,460 miles. the left head gasket changed on 12/28/2001 at 48,817 miles. the airflow meter sensor was recalled on 7/22/2002 with 55,797 miles. the clutch would stick to the floor so i had to have the clutch master cylinder gravity bled on 7/22/2002 as well. the right rear wheel bearing went out again on 8/9/2002 with 57,454. all the above thing were replace and performed under warranty. i personally had to pay to replace the right valve cover gasket, alternator belt, o2 sensor, knock sensor, fuel pump, and exhaust y pipe. i sold the car because the head gasket started to go out again, the clutch need replaced, and the transmission gear oil, and motor oil were both leaking. i expressed my concern to subaru (locally and nationally) and they were unwilling to help with the repair of the head gasket since i did not have the scheduled coolant service performed at subaru. well i had within a couple miles. subaru changed the first head gasket at 48,817 miles and it when out again at 82,796 miles a difference of around 33,000 and the service is scheduled for every 30,000 miles. *ak |
