2013 Subaru Impreza / Outback Sport 4dr Sedan
turbocharged 265hp 2.5L H4 5-speed manual AWD
| 17000 mi | Clutch release bearing was chirping, dealer replaced under warranty. |
| 21300 mi | Entire clutch end was replaced. This is a difficult one to report on as I am not sure how much was a factory defect and how much was a botched repair attempt from a few months ago. Regardless, a factory defect started the problem. |
| 30760 mi | Transmission assembly was replaced under warranty. The transmission was never right and now has been replaced entirely. I do not know if there was a single factory defect that led to over three years of problems and several repair trips e.g. should this be viewed as many or just one problem. Regardless, I have owned many cars with manual transmissions and none had problems beyond needing clutches replaced on rare occasions so this wasn't a case of any inexperienced driver abusing the gears. So, unless this transmission is a lemon the problem should be solved. |
2013 Subaru Impreza / Outback Sport 4dr Hatch
148-horsepower 2.0L H4 6-speed shiftable CVT AWD
| 57000 mi US $55 |
The left front CV joint was popping & needed replacement. Repaired under dealer warranty. |
| 34000 mi | CVT pressure sensor went causing metal belt to scrape against pulleys requiring transmission replacement. |
| 106 mi US $300 |
Torque Convertor Lockup Solenoid Replacement. Car would drive but never lock TC. This caused lowered gas mileage and overheating on the highway. |
| 88800 mi US $4000 |
Transmission failed at 87,900 miles, in a 2013 model. I had a window of 15 minutes or about 10 miles from where I noticed the problem to when the car actually gave up. Car was out of warranty and Subaru took care of half of the bill. --------------- UPDATE: A year after the event above, I received a letter from Subaru notifying me that I could be eligible for a refund for the totality I spent fixing the CVT transmission. About three months after that, I had a check from them with the rest of the sum I spent fixing it. |
2013 Subaru Impreza / Outback Sport 4dr Hatch
