| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I have owned this car for almost six years. from the begining, i have had problems with the automobile. within the first year, a rear strut assembly failed and was replaced. next by transmission failed. at the time of repair, i discovered that recall work that was claimed to be done was actually falsified. following this, my transmission failed again and was replaced with a remanufactured transmission. at about 43000 miles, my rear right hub bearing was replaced under warranty. six months, later, my left hub bearing was replaced. since then, i have replaced the rear right bearing an additional 3 times and the left an additional 2 within a span of 3 years. the dealer claims that it is perfectly normal for the bearings to wear out afer about one year. this sounds like an engineering flaw. lastly, my transmission has produced a buckling feel when i make sharp turns. this problem has worsened, and i fear that i will have spent some more money to get this fixed soon. i feel that subaru is aware of the many problems of the svx, but has not taken action to fix them and is endangering the safety of svx owners. |
