hessticle Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 I took my 05 wagon into the dealership on Saturday for a 27,000 mile oil change. I also asked them to take a look at my wheels because I had a very slight "whoa whoa whoa" noise at about 40-50 miles. 3 hours later I had two new wheel bearings, front and rear drivers side. They tried to make me pay for the one bearing but after some arguing they did cover both of them under the powertrain warranty. I wonder if I should expect the others to go soon?

Underdog Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Hmmm... I have a very slight "whoa whoa whoa" noise as you put it but it occurs over a much wider range of vehicle speeds. I have been hoping that it is road noise and not wheel bearings but it's getting hard to ignore the 800 pound gorilla in the room.

Underdog Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Ah... mine is noticable at much lower speeds and persists at high speeds but does not get louder or change pitch. Also, it doesn't get worse during turning or anything. I really think it could be road noise, but I'm too OCD about my car to ignore it.

PeterJMC Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Subaru has a TSB out for the rear wheel bearings and has extended warranty coverage for them, dated 04/30/08. Origional owners should have been sent letters in the mail informing of them of this. http://www.thel7.com/TSB/03-58-08.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being he is well within powertrain warranty, they should have covered it no questions asked!

Being he is well within powertrain warranty, they should have covered it no questions asked! They did cover it, but at first it sounded like they weren't going to. I argued a bit and they came back and stated that they'd be able to get it covered under powertrain. I don't think they bothered checking before I argued with them.

blackfang Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 They should have covered it without your input from the beginning. It is a covered item and they tried to shaft you over.

Exactly, another SOA dealer full of scumbags. I really don't get those greedy bastards. They get paid by SOA. Less then they charge customer, but they get paid. Yet they still try to screw people over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
