#8346 of 8367 SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THESE BRAKES! by flgirlaol Apr 04, 2009 (8:29 am)
SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THESE BRAKES! There is something wrong with this Tribeca. In 2 years our brakes have failed us and our car has been in 2 bad wrecks. Thankfully everyone is safe. Just yesterday. I had to punch the brakes for an emergency stop......sunny day. Dry pavement. I skidded and hit a car. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED WHERE THE BRAKES HAVE LOCKED UP. I thought these cars had ABS/anti lock brakes???? The truck in front of my was dented. DENTED!!!!! My tribeca? FOLDED LIKE AN ACCORDIAN. AGAIN! The car literally would not stop. What is wrong with these brakes? I have to write to the CEO of the company and Consumers Reports. This is unreal. I bought this car for safety and yes, I should be safe because I was going at a low speed but the brakes locked up and this should not happen.   I'm very upset right now.

Replying to: flgirlaol (Apr 04, 2009 8:29 am) Are your tires in good shape? The anti-lock feature should prevent skidding, but if the tires are lousy that's the only surface touching the road.   If a crumple zone hits something rigid and connected to a frame (like a tow hitch) it will accordian, in fact it is designed to do that.
#8348 of 8367 question about the NAV dvd updates by x5killer May 05, 2009 (11:23 pm)
my 2006 B9 came with the vesion 1.0 NAV dvd and later got the 3.0 version for a hefty price ($250 or something ridiculous like that, I'd have to look it up)   Well I recently traded the car in to save tax on the new vehicle (though of course got a low ball trade in price) so I really didn't want to give them the NAV 3.0 update dvd if i didn't have to since i still had the 1.0   well i didn't think of this till after the fact and stupidly mentioned it as if they would give me more for the tradein which they didn't so i realized i should ahve just taken it out.   once i mentioned it they warned that on some vehicles if you put the old nav dvd in after its already been updated with a newer one it can break the whole system and that I would be responsible for the cost of the repair of the nav unit if it did that.   I call BS and they are just trying to get me to lave the 3.0 version nav update so i wanted to check for sure with Tribeca owners to see if we can find out if in fact downgrading to a previous version of the NAV would have any adverse effect on the nav system.   if not, i see no reason to give them the update which I can gladly sell to another Tribeca owner for half the normal price of the NAV 3.0 update dvd and case with both east and west coast discs (then the person could sell whichever cost they dont need if they want) Replies to this message: morey000 (May 06, 2009 3:27 pm)

Replying to: x5killer (May 05, 2009 11:23 pm) Almost certainly BS. Take your disks back.   I haven't tried it, but I expect you'd have no problem selling your Nav 3.0 on ebay. Let us know when it might be available for bidding
#8350 of 8367 Re: Which Bridgestones? [schow1] by ilushka03 Sep 15, 2009 (10:34 pm)
Replying to: schow1 (May 13, 2008 2:20 pm) Hi there, just came across your post regarding tires. Did you put Dueler HL Alenzas on your Tribeca? I am currently looking to replace my OEM tires, I have 50,000 miles on my GYs. (So far my top choices are H/L Alenzas, GY Triple Tread) Thanks, Replies to this message: xwesx (Sep 16, 2009 9:12 am) schow1 (Sep 22, 2009 2:10 pm)

Replying to: ilushka03 (Sep 15, 2009 10:34 pm) The Tripletred is a fantastic tire for all-season driving. I have no experience with the others.

Replying to: ilushka03 (Sep 15, 2009 10:34 pm) I have the H/L Alenzas, much better than the Good Year( not the Triple Tread tire) that came with the 2007 model Tribeca. Those tires only lasted a year for me (live up in the mountain). Before changing the tires, I was debating about the Triple Tread and the Alenzas. I consulted two tire places. Both suggested Brigdestone. So far I am pretty happy with these tires. I have them for 1 year and 9 months now!
#8353 of 8367 Tail lights out on '06 Tribeca. by adkcar Oct 11, 2009 (5:30 am)
The right and left rear lights on My 2006 Subaru Tribeca are both out, my license plate light as well. My brake lights work, as do my rear directionals.   Are the three lights that are out run by a fuse, or is it a coincidence that all three went out at the same time? Thanks.

Replying to: adkcar (Oct 11, 2009 5:30 am) Most likely a fuse. Replies to this message: ateixeira (Oct 13, 2009 11:08 am)

Replying to: samiam_68 (Oct 11, 2009 9:58 am) Yeah, lights to tend to blow out at approximately the same time, but it would be a few days apart, not all at the same time.
