I was so fed up I said I didn't want the car and I was going to get a lawyer. Then the service manager talked to Subaru of America.

This new dealership told me it was the throw out bearing. This is about 6 months into trying to get them to fix the issue. Subaru of America said I was making it up and printed the paper that the dealership gave me off of online. Which no one ever told me about and was not on any of my repair records. They removed and replaced my transmission.

And they informed me that 4 months after purchasing my car when they replaced w.e they replaced. But yet the problem didn't exist?įinally found a decent dealership. When I brought the car back they said the noise was no longer present.Īfter taking Subaru of America's advice and switching dealerships.

Crosstrek is the most reliable model, while the sport-tuned WRX is the brand’s least reliable model in the stable according to CR.
