2016 WRX - throw out bearing
2016 WRX - throw out bearing and yoke failure covered by warranty.
Then I wasn’t able to shift into higher gears. The transmission problem was deemed due to abuse (false) and dealer recommended total transmission overhaul; it was a broken clutch cable - who uses a plastic connector on a clutch cable? Replaced cable at independent transmission shop. Shop couldn’t see evidence that transmission case was ever opened.I filed a complaint with California Consumer Affairs; appears Fairfield Subaru says they lost the paperwork. Looks like I’m suing Subaru to get recovery.
Car back in shop. Contaminated oil. Looks like bearing failure - waiting to hear from Subaru on warranty coverage.
Irrespective of the inconsistent quality of their vehicles I am disappointed with the integrity of Subaru and the dealer when someone gets stuck with a bad one off the line...
