2016 Subaru WRX 4dr Sedan
turbocharged 305hp 2.5L H4 6-speed manual AWD
| 6000 mi | Rattles from loud SPT exhaust (factory installed) and Harmon-Kardon stereo. Not all rattles were fixed. I will be attempting to fix them myself at a later date (by adjusting clips and adding batting). Small paint chip on the body of the car where the trunk corner meets the body. Only noticed due to forums. There was a TSB for this but my VIN is not included. Pictures submitted to SOA. Awaiting response. |
| 20500 mi | Leather on steering wheel was wearing off. Dealer replaced steering wheel. |
2016 Subaru WRX 4dr Sedan
turbocharged 268hp 2.0L H4 6-speed manual AWD
| 15000 mi | Rear package shelf was rattling. Dealer replaced under warranty per an existing TSB. Driver seat squeaked when weight transferred rearward. Dealer lubed seat hinge points. |
| 14000 mi | Third brake light enclosure rattled. |
| 30000 mi | Rear deck rattle fixed per tech bulletin. |
| 6400 mi | Door pillar exterior has a black tape trim on it. My car's black trim tape came with a slice in it from the factory. It was repaired under warranty in less than 2 hours. |
2015 Subaru WRX 4dr Sedan
turbocharged 305hp 2.5L H4 6-speed manual AWD
| 15700 mi | Trim rattle at dash. Took three tries. Dealer scratched car! |
| 1000 mi | Headlight illumination sensor in the dashboard didn't sit flush. Replaced, now sits flush. |
| 1000 mi | TSB repair for trunk paint chipping and lateral movement. |
2015 Subaru WRX 4dr Sedan
turbocharged 268hp 2.0L H4 8-speed shiftable CVT AWD
| 32000 mi | Correct package shelf rattle |
| 16000 mi | TSB: 12-189-15 Rattling Sound from Rear Package Shelf Area |
| 5000 mi | The front doors rattle, particularly the passenger door. Driver side not bad enough to warrant repair. They've tried fixing several times to no avail, so I got the dealer (Herb Gordon Silver Spring) to replace the door. |
2015 Subaru WRX 4dr Sedan
turbocharged 268hp 2.0L H4 6-speed manual AWD
| 26000 mi US $250 |
Poor paint job on steering wheel and trim around shifter. Only one thin coat of paint on silver colored plastic six speed shifter trim around shifter boot. Shifter trim scratches extremely easily while dusting. Subaru paid for new steering wheel and I will pay no more than $250 for shifter trim and boot installed. |
| 11160 mi | Trunk edges were retouched and foam tape attached. As far as I could tell, the truck edges were rubbing up against the body of the car when the car was in motion, which rubbed the paint off. New weather stripping and bump stops ordered. |
| 5000 mi | Paint chip appeared and rust was already there. Dealer determined repair to be covered under warranty. |
| 19500 mi | Drivers side mirror loose, replaced side mirror under warranty |
