Slegacy96 Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 Ok so it took the dealer three attempts to fix my clutch and $1400. I sat by quietly. Now my speed sensor is dead, 4 days after being replaced and I am 4 hours from the dealer that repaired it. So now I am stuck until my spring break with no speedo. I have had it. Subaru of America will be hearing about this. I expected better, this being my 3rd Subaru. I really am just plain Pissed Off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slegacy96 Posted January 30, 2006 Author Share Posted January 30, 2006 Got a letter back from Subaru. Told me that my car is out of warranty and that they could care less if I remain a customer. Fine. Ill got buy a Honda then, see how they like it then! ......because I havent put almost $2000 in repairs for this car in the past 8 months.

2X2KOB Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 That's some sloppy work. No excuse for that. Can you check the connector on the speed sensor? Might be an easy fix, might get lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zyewdall Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 Geez, that sucks. I wouldn't say there is anything wrong with subaru -- cars do need new clutches from time to time, and speedos go out too -- but apparently their dealers there suck if it takes them several times to fix anything. I know there's people on this board that hate taking subaru's to non-dealer mechanics, but seriously, whats the worst that could happen. You might end up with someone incompetent to work on your car -- but it sounds like you already did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my letter I made the point that parts (clutches) do wear out and i get that but i shouldnt be spending so much money on additional repairs. Especially ones that affect my safety. Which both my clutch and speedo did. Since I thought that the clutch repair was done by incompotent people I changed dealers to do the speedo. No difference apparently.
