| Description of the problem | September, 2019 - i detected a new and distinct sound, along with an odd vibration feeling in my vehicle. It was on the left side, with the vibration seeming to come from the area under my feet as i drive. It started at about 30- 40 mph and did not subside, even when i was not accelerating, or if i used the brakes to slow down some. Both the sound and vibration maintained while i was cruising at that speed or higher. I took the car to my mechanic, who determined that the left rear wheel hub was bad. I had it replace immediately. My vehicle is 5 years old and the mileage was 79364. Additional on this vehicle, i just received subaru service program wut-05, a problem with the rear coil springs, which i also experienced in may, 2019. This vehicle has problems i should not be having at this age/mileage. Theses are safety issues as well and need to be addressed by subaru. |
