Replying to: tanager (Nov 17, 2008 7:29 am) Double check your oil level and grade. I find Subaru engines to be quite sensitive to oil level when it comes to hearing those lifters. I had a terrible oil leak on my '96 Outback for a little while, though, and it got to the point where I had to put *at least* a quart of oil in it on every fuel up (~250-300 miles!). The lifters ticked probably as much as they didn't tick. Once I pulled the engine and replaced the faulty seals, it was quiet again and ran another 80,000 miles with no problem, so your engine's noise may not be a sign of impending doom. Maybe.

Hello! My wife and I purchased a 2009 Subaru Legacy Limited in August of this year. We're getting ready for our first service appointment, and recently we've noticed that there's a buzzing type of sound when the radio is on. The buzz also exists when you play a CD. I've tried adjusting the Bass, Treble, and Middle ranges, and noticed that when you turn the bass down, and the treble up, the buzz seems to diminish, but the audio sounds terrible, too tinny as you can imagine. My wife and I don't really turn the radio up that loud - not really ever past 15, usually it's at 10 - so we don't think we blew out the Subwoofer or anything else. Anyone have any suggestions on something else to possibly try, or what I can say to the service department when I can bring it into service so they know that this wasn't something we did (for instance, blasting the speakers)...? Thanks.

Replying to: paisan (Nov 04, 2008 8:54 am) How could replacing the clutch affect the syncros inside a transmission that was not opened?

My husband was driving to work a couple of weeks ago when the airbags in our 2005 Outback deployed for no reason. He didn't have any type of impact with the car anywhere. Unfortunately we are now stationed by the US Military in Puerto Rico and Subaru of America is being of no help to us. The Authorized Subaru Dealership has yet to find anything wrong with the car. They are very helpful calling everywhere trying to talk to people about what may have gone wrong with the car. Our concern is with this being a more widespread problem possibly injuring other people. We were lucky and my husband only suffered a few cuts and bruises but it definitely could have been worse. When we called SOA we were told it was something for the Insurance company but it isn't because there was no accident. We were also told they didn't have the means to send anyone here and investigate the problem and I was also told that they maybe more capable of helping me if I were in the US. Unfortunately, it isn't our choice to live here we were stationed here by the US Military. I was wondering if anyone else had heard this happening to someone or if anyone had any ideas of how I might actually receive some action from Subaru. When I was on the phone I was told I was not allowed to speak to anyone in the management department. So far I have written letters to anyone's email address I could find but I haven't heard anything. I was giving the Holiday weekend and then I was going to resend and rewrite until someone responds to me. I feel so let down and helpless. What if we get this fixed and it happens again, I have a fear of driving my car and Subaru could care less. Does anyone have any advice?

Hey Gang, The last two fillups, my fuel gauge will only register up to about 7/8's full. I've tried different pumps, but the pop off with the gauge reading the same amount. The car only has 2500 miles on it; are my floats out of whack already? I'm assuming its time to take a trip to the dealer ... ??? Thanks in advance. Jopopsy |
