Subaru Legacy in Illinois, United States Nov 2022 - Feb 2023 | |||
Feb 202313000 mi | 2 issues with the infotainment system: Voice Recognition worked with everything except the built in navigation system, and the dashboard tweeters made weird electrical squeaking sounds in certain circumstances (easily reproduced by myself). The head-unit was replaced for the former issue and at the time of diagnosis of that they could not replicate the tweeter issue (even though I provided a USB with music that would cause the issued in the first 10 seconds of playing), but he said they didn't try too hard since the head unit swap could fix it (and I agree). Will update if either issue reappears. |

Nov 202125000 mi | While driving, brake pedal went down to the floor after being stuck in a drive-thru. Dealer replaced master cylinder, brake booster, and Antilock brake module. It took many days to diagnose since the issue was intermittent and it took many days for parts delivery. Repair was under warranty | ||
Jan 202226000 mi | If car was not driven for a few days, the brake pedal would be hard to press and if pressing on the start button, the engine would not start. Aslo, the green check light on the start button did not appear. It was found the hard brake pedal is normal, but an updated shifter assembly was installed which corrected the green light and the engine starting. | ||
Jun 202229000 miUS $35 | Found engine was losing power and gas mileage was dropping. I found the PCV valve was dirty and full of carbon. I purchased a new one and replaced the PCV hose as well. Since the repair, the engine has more pep and gas mileage has increased. Subaru also sells a maintenance kit which includes Fuel Cleaner, Throttle Body Cleaner, and Top Internal Engine Cleaner. There is a separate tool that needs to be purchased separately which feeds the Top Internal Engine Cleaner into the engine. There is a Youtube Video from MrSubaru1387 which demonstrates how to use the maintenance kit. I will be performing this maintenance over the weekend. |

Jan 201922320 mi | Same as January 2018 repair : on a very cold day, car starts normally in the morning but fails to start after a short trip where the engine has not fully warmed. In fact the starter does not engage at all. The situation returned to normal after about 15 minutes. Dealer replaced the same relay as last year’s and he added some sort of thermal insulation to the relay. Relay part number is the same as last year’s. In other words, Subaru Canada does not really know how to fix the problem and they are improvising. |

Starting to increase again. Wind noise on driver door has increased since repair in spring according to Tech Service Bulletin. Noise when driver window is initially lowered that started with this wind noise fix was found not to be "abnormal." | ||
Apr 201725000 mi | Wind noise TSBs applied to both front doors. 61099AL01B for the second time to driver side. 61099AL00B for third time to passenger side. I had written a letter to the president of Subaru of America telling him how miserable driving the car on the highway was. I was contacted by a "Team Leader Customer Retailer Services." A Field Service Engineer drove my car and with some instrumentation determined that the noise level was only 2 decibels higher than a 2015 model. That was basically an admission that there is wind noise and SOA has some notion of what is "normal." And ridiculous! The application of the TSBs was the decision of the the dealer Customer Service Manager. I have nothing bad to say about the car, but the wind noise. | ||

Decided to live with it as Subaru wants to charge me an engine rebuild with only 69,000 mile on it - not happening. Will pollute the environment with my car built by a company that claims to be in support of a green environment. | ||

Entire transmission and belt replaced under warranty.

It was another sound discovered by the mechanic that resulted in them replacing the transmission. |

Dealership agreed to replace the tires burned up from the long skid. Wife cud not get back in that car and we sold it. We were highly emotionally affected for a year and still not completely over it.

Jul 2017135000 miUS $1355 | Head gasket blew 500 miles from home. Vehicle was blowing bubbles out of the radiator with the cap off no external block leaks and no contamination of the engine oil. Put in a can of block seal and limped home stopping every 100 miles or so waiting for the engine to cool down and adding antifreeze . Dealer (North End Subaru in Lunenburg Ma) said they pulled the engine out of the car and replaced the head gaskets. They did NOT machine the heads. The car came back a mess. Grease all over the fenders and hood. Antifreeze all over the engine compartment, things not put back together as designed. Clamps on hoses not in place, parts missing, etc. I was very unhappy with the state of the vehicle when I picked it up. The cost was supposed to be 1850.00 but the dealer kicked in $500.00 toward the repair. I called 1-800subaru3 and they declined to assist in paying for the repairs. I'm not sure I can trust this vehicle any longer. Parts replaced: 4 Gasket spark plug, 2 gasket cylinder head, 2 gasket rocker cover 2 Gasket intake manifold, 1 oil filter, 5 5W30 oil, 2 Super coolant, 1 thermostat gasket, 5 studs, 1 radiator assy. | ||

Jan 2018144000 mi | No heat passenger side dual control heating/AC system. Flushed out the heater core. One heater core servers both the drivers side and the passenger side heat on this vehicle. There was no apparent obstruction in the heater core so I will have a look at the heater door control motors and control arms Oil level/pressure light stays on after oil and filter changed. I add this repair as a note for other Subaru owners as a hint. I had changed a Fog light bulb during the time that the engine oil was draining from the car. To verify the light which needed replacing I briefly turned the ignition to ON (not starting). I replaced the fog light bulb and continued with the oil change. After finishing changing the engine oil and filter When the car was started the oil light would not go out. When I finished I started the engine and the oil light would not go out. The engine sounded fine but the light was on. I removed the new filter thinking it might be defective and replaced it with another new filter. This had no effect on the oil light. I found a thread on the web saying this had happened to other folks. some drove the car and the light went out. One said he spoke to a Subaru Tech and was told to remove a fuse for about 1 minute. His oil light went out after replacing the fuse and starting the vehicle. I disconnected the battery for a few minutes and the light issue was resolved upon restarting the engine. It appears that the diagnostic bit for low oil level once set is not re-checked on engine re-starts. Took about 15 minutes to change the fog light bulbs. | ||

Subaru Legacy in Louisiana, United States Feb 2008 - Aug 2009 | |||
Mar 20081000 mi | Asked to check rough idle and slight miss at low rpm. Could not duplicate. Seems powertrain management was reprogrammed for '08 and changes driveability. Exterior trim moulding out of place/loose. Sent to a glass shop where the moulding was glued to the body. | ||
Apr 200926000 mi | Car has an intermittant miss or stumble on very low rpm, light acceleration and seems to shift into overdrive too soon (around 25-29mph) and it also has a bucking/bumping when rolling in traffic at very low speeds (under 5mph or less) & has rough upshifts Unusually loud knock/jerk sound comes from front suspension/steering rack area when turning at very low speed on uneven surface like pavement and gravel. Dealer says it may be the ps hoses hitting; but they do not see a problem. Car still does this today Trim panels on the fuel and trunk release come loose each time one of the knobs are pulled causing the knobs to stay up until pushed back down. New knobs and trim panels are on order. Rattle at base of A-pillar...the corner where dash meets windshield on drivers side. Dealer could not duplicate the problem because it mostly occurs when the outside temperature is cool or in the morning. | ||
May 200926000 mi | Fuel and trunk release knobs replaced. Trim panel under knobs replaced. Note: Knobs no longer stick when pulled; but trim panel still does not stay snapped in place due to carpet being too tight in this area. | ||
Jul 200931000 mi | Mud/splash deflectors located in front of the 2 rear wheels had become loose and eventually fell off the car. Both flaps and mounting hardware were replaced. Knocking sound when turning at low speed on uneven surface. Outcome: They said this was a normal condition- even a Subaru rep drove it and said this was normal and that Outbacks do it too. Solved by trading car for a 2009. Erratic shifts and annoying jerky downshifts usually on hard braking (automatic). Outcome: Transmission fluid and filter were changed and the powertrain control's learning was reset. But the Subaru rep also said this behavior was normal. |

Apr 201348140 miC $240 | Rear oxy sensor kaput. 2nd time in 2 years, 35,000kms. Each lasted 40,000kms. First one took 4 yrs and second 2 years. These things are problematic. The turbo has a history of repeated failures. It may be related to cold winters. 200 km later Rear oxy sensor again. These things can be reset with a good code reader and it takes 5 minutes or less. This time light back on in 2 km. Humidity seems to be a problem. Replaced sensor. | ||
Feb 201453320 miC $50 | The linkage between the shifter arm and the tranny is quite exposed and it slowly began to seize up with dirt and corrosion. A lot of WD40, compressed air, and elbow grease freed it up so that grease could be liberally sprayed at the joints. | ||
Dec 201570680 miC $483 | Front Left wheel bearing replaced | ||
Mar 201673160 miC $350 | left rear wheel bearing difficult to change due to corrosion. Other side front and rear noisy: will need to be changed in near future.

Sep 201676880 miC $170 | Replaced centre gasket in exhaust system | ||
Feb 201888040 miC $700 | Replaced front calipers due to wear of the rubber bellows. Pads wore to the point that the rotor wore through the bellows. No indication of wear was heard, Aren't the pads/shims etc supposed to screech just before it is too late? There is a finger as part of the pad installation. Isn't it supposed to scratch the rotor as a wear out warning ? | ||
Mar 201889280 miC $700 | Failure of rubber bushing in the rear suspension. | ||
Feb 201997 miC $200 | 1 boot was changed. Shop did a very careful job. Link bushing was shot therefore the links were replaced | ||
Apr 201998270 miC $600 | The subi dealer found the secondary air injection valve on the driver's side siezed closed and quoted $1,100 to replace it. No guarantee would be offered other than this will happen again and it can be expected to happen on the other side too. It will cost an extra $300 for the other side because the intake manifold will have to be removed for access. I was told it was due to corrossion caused by bad design. I found a shop in Montreal that would remove the entire system including the two vaves and the pump for $600 and the guarantee that the problem would not repeat and that the car would pass emission testing because that is done on a warm engine. The system functions for less than a minute as part of the cold start-up sequence. | ||
Jul 2019102 miC $50 | After the new downpipe and tune mod, upon a cold start the engine rpm was way over 1500 and a growling noise occured. It was intermittant and could not be reproduced at will. Neither the dealer or the tuner could find anything. The noise and high rpm lasted less than 30 secs and then everything went back to normal. After many months of scratching my head I was able to associate the noise to the functionning of the tumble valve, a sort of choke only used at cold start-up. After a disconnect of the batery it took a few days to reappear. Something was being registered in the ECM while running that was erased by disconnecting the battery. I was able to control what was being registed by pulling the fuse to the ECM and resetting the ECM memory back to its base mode. The engine has two modes: the base mode as set by the factory and a running mode that is constantly adjusting the map to what is actually happening. I believe that the growling noise was caused by too high an air flow through the tumble valve causing it to vibrate. That could have led to a failure and injestion of pieces of the valve or blocking of air flow. It seems to be under control now and I have installed a switch in the power to the ECM so I can reset it whenever I wish. | ||
Sep 201999 miC $200 | I replaced a number of heat shields on the exhaust system. | ||
Oct 2019100 miC $270 | The ventilation fan was replaced as the lower bearing was shot. It was rusty due to a bad design which did not have a drain hole where the lower bearing sits. I drilled a small hole in the housing of the new one to prevent a replay of this stupid failure. | ||
Aug 2020109 miC $1100 | Replaced the wheel brg for the second time. Replaced the lower front left A arm and sway bar links. Carried out the passenger side air bag replacement for the second time. I supplied the brg, a good jobber unit not in a Subi box. | ||
Sep 2020102 miC $350 | After several years of annual brake maintence in order to avoid siezed pistons and pins I experienced a dragging brake on the front right whilst on a trip away from home. Did not like that. Upon inspection I found a seized piston there and on further inspection both the rear calipers were found to have seized slider pins. I replace all three calipers myself. | ||
Jul 2022119040 miC $2175 | Replaced the gas tank, filler pipe, and tank straps. Dealer wanted to scrap the car or $5000 for the work, Mr Muffler wanted $3500. Bought new stands to get the car high enough to comfortably work under it in my driveway. Researched youtube Google, and Subi for how to go about it. Subi requires disassembly of most of the rear suspension/sub frame and use of a transmission jack which I do not have. Youtube has a guy who "works smarter not harder". His method leaves all the rear stuff, frame suspension in the car while he swings it down on the trailing arms. I came up with my smarter way as I did not want to stress the old trailing arm bushings. The 4 major bolts holding the sub frame in place were temporarily replaced by 4 threaded rods with one nut each. After detaching the trailing arm brackets, three bolts each, and the lower shock bolts, one bolt each, the sub frame came straight down on the threaded rods as the nuts descended the rods. It worked very well and I had loads of space. The tank was removed and replaced using my floor jack. The rear backing plates were falling apart and the drum brake were extremely rusted. To change the backing plate required removing and replacing the wheel bearings. It was an expensive job and removing bearings can be very difficult. Many rusted nuts and bolts can be encountered. |

Jul 200820000 mi | Passenger seat belt alarm - parts ordered Reported trim problem. We forgot it when we dropped off the car. we called the dealer ~ 1 hour after the car was dropped off. They didn't add it to the work order and ignored it. Cargo net anchor fell off the car for the second time. They reinstalled it. Black sooty buildup at exhaust pipe tips. Dealer said this is normal. Our other car, with a turbocharged engine alos, does not have any evidence of soot at the tail pipe. Last time the dealer changed the oil, they did not replace three of the fasteners from the oil filter cover on the underbody pan. They replaced them this visit. Greasy build-up on front right strut. (driver's side strut failed and leaked when car was ~2 months old). Dealer states there is no leak even though this is the 2nd greasy build-up. I cleaned off the 1st one to see if it recurred After driving ~ 15-20 minutes to get to interstate, exhaust smokes so you can't see out the rearview mirror accelerating onto the freeway in cold weather. Dealer says this is normal. Car hesitates or misses, occaisionally when driving 35-40 mph in 3rd gear, cruise on or not. They reflashed the engine contol module. It helped decrease the frequency, but did not eliminate the problem. | ||

I wonder how long it will be until the other side will need replacement? |

I flushed the oil in the engine and then did an oil/filter change. Will have to see if codes return in the future.
