65000 MILES JUST OVER THE WARRANTY I HAD TO REPLACE BOTH 2 AXELS AND 2 CV JOINTS AND $4000 LATER I AM TOLD WE HAVE TO NOW REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION BECAUSE IT STALLED OUT SLIPPED WHILE I WAS TRYING TO TURN ONTO A BUSY ROAD WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR. I BOUGHT THIS CAR USED AT 46000 MILES FOR 17200 IN JULY 2017. I DIDN'T THINK THESE TYPES OF PROBLEMS EXISTED IN LOW MILEAGE CARS. I'VE OWNED A VOLVO I DROVE FOR 164,000 MILES NEVER HAD TO REPLACE AN AXEL OR TRANSMISSION, MY HONDA CR-V I DROVE FOR OVER 100,000 MILES WITH NO ISSUES AT ALL. I WANTED …

SUBARU SENT OUT A RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE RECALL # WTY-84 IN THE LETTER THEY STATE THAT THE ENGINE MAY STALL WHILE DRIVING AND CAUSING AN INCREASED RISK OF A CRASH. WHEN I CALLED THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP THEY TOLD ME THE FIRST APPOINTMENT THEY HAVE TO RESOLVE THIS WAS ON FEB 12, 2020.

THEY CLAIMED THAT ANOTHER DEALER IN MY AREA WAS ABLE TO SCHEDULE FOR THIS MAR…

SLOW STARTING WHEN TURNING OVER FROM STOP/PARK/COLD/HOT. EXCESSIVE OIL USE AFTER EACH 3,000 MILES. NO LIGHT WARNING FOR LOW OIL DISPLAYS. ENGINE BOGS OR ALMOST STALLS WHEN GIVING GAS. USUALLY WHEN AIR CONDITIONING IS RUNNING. THIS STARTED TO OCCUR AFTER I HAD THE VALVE SPRING RECALL TAKEN CARE OF. AND ALL IGNITION COILS REPLACED. THE IGNITION COILS CAUSED EXCESSIVE STALLING DOWNHILL TO UPHILL AT VARIOUS SPEEDS YET USUALLY OCCURRED WHEN APPLYING GAS FROM SLOW TO MID-SPEED WHEN APPLYING GAS. MY THOUGHT WERE IT WAS DUE TO THE RECALL BUT …
