2015 Subaru WRX 4dr Sedan

turbocharged 305hp 2.5L H4 6-speed manual AWD

2700 mi Rear differential was leaking. Overfilled at the factory, dealer drained to appropriate level. 
4000 mi Clutch pedal makes loud clicking noise when depressed and released. Dealer diagnosed bad clutch MC. Part ordered and car returned for repair. Dealer discovered wrong part ordered. Correct part currently on order. The clutch master cylinder needed replacing. They replaced it but there was an issue with the replacement itself and the dealership actually ended up putting me in a new car as a gesture of good faith.

2015 Subaru WRX 4dr Sedan

turbocharged 268hp 2.0L H4 8-speed shiftable CVT AWD

20000 mi At 30K service, I'd noticed some oil seepage at the front differential and took it to dealer for closer look. Dye was added to try and pinpoint source of leak, and after driving ~6k miles, found that oil leak at CVT oil pump. Entire CVT was replaced, as manufacturer doesn't authorize dealer to service the assembly. 
95000 mi 2nd replacement of CVT transmission. 1st replacement had fluid seepage, and had gasket replaced ~10K prior 
24000 mi CVT needed remapping to shift appropriately. 
42000 mi Replaced transmission seal.

2015 Subaru WRX 4dr Sedan

turbocharged 268hp 2.0L H4 6-speed manual AWD

21700 mi squealing noise when de-clutching. Dealer opened transmission and resurfaced the flywheel. 
31800 mi Service recall for clutch, throw out bearing, and flywheel. 
47000 mi

US $980
Throw out bearing went bad about 2 weeks after purchasing the CPO car. Subaru covered half the cost. 
37000 mi Clutch center bearing replaced 
10100 mi Car was brought in for vibration in clutch pedal. Diagnosis was a bad release bearing (aka throw out bearing). A somewhat common problem with the Subaru WRX. Bearing was replaced under warranty. 
11000 mi Car brought back in for what sounded like a squealing belt. Was diagnosed as the release/throw out bearing AGAIN. Only 500 miles after it was first replaced. Subaru paid two payments, gave me a 7/100 warranty to compensate. Happy with Subaru. 
19000 mi TSB to replace clicking squeaking clutch pedal assembly. 
32000 mi Tsb for noisy clutch 
36000 mi Minor noise when clutch depressed all the way to floor
