Hi this article makes me
Hi this article makes me laugh because till this day Subaru denies this fact.
I have a 2018 Subaru WRX. Transmission started whining when pressing clutch at exactly 8000-12000 miles approx...
I had videos and it was constant yet it took Subaru dealership and Subaru of America over 6 months to acknowledge the issue.
When they actually acknowledged it. They performed a fix. Told me they replaced something in clutch pedal. Noise never went away. When I got the car back I noticed ridiculous amounts of lube/grease on ever part of my pedal going to tranny. When I brought the car back they said the noise was no longer present.
After taking Subaru of America's advice and switching dealerships. Curry subaru
I was then told it was my fault. But yet the problem didn't exist?
Finally found a decent dealership. They acknowledged the problem. And they informed me that 4 months after purchasing my car when they replaced w.e they replaced. They removed and replaced my transmission. Which no one ever told me about and was not on any of my repair records... Subaru of America said I was making it up and printed the paper that the dealership gave me off of online.... Like wtf..
This is about 6 months into trying to get them to fix the issue. This new dealership told me it was the throw out bearing. Then the service manager talked to Subaru of America. And the problem no longer exsisted.
I was so fed up I said I didn't want the car and I was going to get a lawyer.
Subaru of America then gave me options to trade it in with 2500$ credit.
The dealership would not give me fair market value because of the issue with the clutch pedal whining. Even though it was under bumper to bumper and they said there was no problem. They also said they don't want a car that another dealership did shady work on.
So till this day I am at 40,000 miles clutch whines all the time. And 4th gear rattles.
4th gear rattle happens at about 35k. I brought it up last service appointment and the same thing is happening. It doesn't exist.
Subaru of America laughed in my face when I called and told them it was me with the same problem from last year like its some kind of joke.
I became disabled at 21 years old. I bought this car to make me happy and it was a gift from my fiance when I was in a really bad place of not wanting to be alive anymore.
My life has been hard enough.. it has nothing to do with it but Subaru should be help liable for lieng, and pushing people to the point we're they don't want to deal with them so they don't fix the cars they produce. That's exactly what they did to me.
I missed total over 2.5 months from work from not having my car and going back and forth to dealerships.
Another thing the dealership did was pop one of my tires, and patch it. On the sidewall and never told me. Completely ruined the inside of my tire. Never said a thing. The tire was so damaged inside. it could have blown out Mavis said. And they also said that is from driving on a fat tire for extremely long time. Why would a dealership do that. I was fighting with them so much it actually got to the point where I think they purposely damaged and sabataged my vehicle.
