andee0 Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 BRAND NEW 2005 Subaru Legacy. Not even 8,000 miles. Brought car in because of constant clicking from suspension. The problem: loose / malfunctioning drive shaft that was UNSAFE TO DRIVE. Took TWO DAYS to REPLACE drive shaft. No loaner car, no courtesy car. RUDE customer service.

2Simpletons Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 That sucks. I love Subarus and will continue to buy 'em. Hey at least it happened during warranty, right? Find a new dealer too. Some Suby dealers can be rude and some can be extremely nice. This is an anomoly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SBT Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 BRAND NEW 2005 Subaru Legacy. Not even 8,000 miles. Brought car in because of constant clicking from suspension. The problem: loose / malfunctioning drive shaft that was UNSAFE TO DRIVE. Took TWO DAYS to REPLACE drive shaft. No loaner car, no courtesy car. RUDE customer service. That's not great to hear. I presume you contacted 800-Subaru3 (Subaru of America Customer Service toll free) to tell them about the issue and ask for some compensation for the loaner car that you had to rent. What did SOA have to say, particularly about your issue and the dealer's lack of reasonable customer service? Which dealer, where, so we have a data point to add to in the future, or watch out for and avoid if already established?

2Simpletons Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 Hey bro, try and be cool with everyone here. This is not NASIOC and we like to keep a clean, tight shop here. I enjoy this forum as it's a welcome haven from the constant BS you have to sift through on other forums. Not a good way to start out on this forum. Dad mode off.

Parousia Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 You know........ I have an issue with this poster and and another that complained constantly about his 2.5i. Don't you people do any research at all before you buy????? I mean if u had you would know the characteristics of the vehicle before you buy it.... Like the FAUX ALUMINUM TRIM... which is real aluminum BTW..... You would also know that these things happen with EVERY CAR MANUFACTURER IN THE WORLD..... some just more than others. They fixed it which is good.... now be very calm, smile and be nice, and phone SOA and ask for an explanation for the rude treatment you received. You are not a second class citizen because you are 18.. but if you act like a child then you will get treated like one, so be level headed and mature and deal with it like a business person would.

axis008 Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 Ok. First off, I'm changing your title because it your engine did not fall apart. Second, can you please be more mature and also put more details in your posts? The reason people said some things about your situation is because you didn't give enough info in the first place and just said your "Brand new engine fell apart. Don't buy!" -ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenonk Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 I am not sure how you drive your car Mr. Andee0, but my GT has over 15,000 miles already of which at least 1000 of them are race miles (of which 200 of those miles are in 2nd gear at 5000 rpms and up for a good 20 mins). I havent had anything fallen apart, broken in half, split, cracked, blown, seized, smashed, or melted in those 15,000 miles. The car runs strong and my car is modified with stiffer suspension. Please tell us how it all happend in detail and the driving habits that could possibly lead up to this malfunctioned driveshaft. It's rare to have a lemon among cars nowadays.

dustinw Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 You can't get a loaner since you are 18. Technically loaners are rental cars that the dealer pays the cost of (most likely to be re-imbursed under warranty by the Manufacturer). Thier insurance company won't cover drivers under 21. That's just tough luck. I'm sorry you are so unfortunate that your parents bought you a brand new car. It must really suck being you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
