| Description of the problem | I have a 2007 subaru wrx tr, i purchased a year an half ago, i was driving my car home from work when all of sudden my transmission just started making funny noises, i was able to coast home to my house, put in the driveway, then had it trailed down to my local subaru dealer, i have not heard if under warranty yet but my car only has 26,000 miles and my 3rd gear is gone along with the syncros, in 1st and 2nd gear, i don't think this should be happen to a brand new car, i thought suabaru's were suppose to last forever that's why i got one, if it is not warrantied i will never purchase a subaru again. Just wanted people to know that its not just them that was having problems, its alot of subaru's. I think subaru should live up to a warranty no matter what is wrong with the car, that is the whole point of have a warranty. So why buy a car if they don't hold up to what they tell you. |
