#583 of 647 Back in the shop, again by lsufan6970 Oct 16, 2006 (6:04 am)
My wifes 2006 RRS has about 11000 miles on it and was towed back to the dealer Saturday. When she got in the vehicle Saturday morning there were multiple malfunctions showing up: Hill Descent Control light illuminated, transmission fault, park brake light illuminated, suggest release park brake, etc. Released the parking brake by putting vehicle in neutral and pushing down on the brake lever, put vehicle back in park, parking brake was activated again on its own. She released the brake again and tried to drive home but it wouldn't shift out of 1st gear. She finally got it home and I checked it out. I was able to shift it using the auto shift, but that was about it. We previously had to get it to the dealer because of the front right plastic pillar cover had come off, and the windshield wiper blades were coming loose. Also, when you try to lock the doors from the outside with the button on the keys, the alarm is set but the doors don't actually lock. One more thing, when you try to unlock the doors from the inside, the only thing that unlocks is the back glass. Anybody have multiple problems like this?

Replying to: lsufan6970 (Oct 16, 2006 6:04 am) Nope - but it sounds like maybe a ECU or BCU (engine control unit, body control unit) wiring issue.   ECU for the transmission issues, bcu for the door locks issue...   /DA Replies to this message: lsufan6970 (Oct 17, 2006 7:38 am) triathlonx (Oct 17, 2006 10:26 am) steve_ (Oct 17, 2006 10:54 am)

Replying to: dandrews1 (Oct 16, 2006 8:59 am) Just got a call from the Service Department. Seems as though a small rodent (mouse, squirrel, etc.) has eaten through one of the wiring harnesses causing all of these faults. Hopefully they can repair all the wiring (cheap) without having to replace the entire harness(expensive). I have a feeling my wife or the children spilled something sweet on the center console and it dripped down onto some important parts thus attracting a critter or two. Just a gut feeling, but very possible knowing my family. Replies to this message: triathlonx (Oct 17, 2006 10:26 am) steve_ (Oct 17, 2006 10:54 am)

Replying to: lsufan6970 (Oct 17, 2006 7:38 am) I'm frantically looking through my insurance policy to see if it covers damage by hungry critters. Replies to this message: steve_ (Oct 17, 2006 10:54 am)

Replying to: triathlonx (Oct 17, 2006 10:26 am) Someone over in one of the Subaru discussions successfully filed a claim for damaged wiring caused by a rodent or squirrel. Haven't been able to find the post, but you should check with your insurance.
#588 of 647 Re: PING PING PING - exhaust sounds underneath my Sport [eljuan] by mccormack Oct 18, 2006 (3:34 pm)
Replying to: eljuan (Oct 10, 2006 10:27 pm) We are in the same boat. Just bought our RRS a month ago and can't get over the pinging sounds. I agree it just doesn't seem right. We also took it in to the dealer whos mechanic told us it is normal. We love the car but I have to say this definitely bothers me. Has had anyone had the problem and then it does resolve itself after a certain number of miles or is that all bs from the dealer? Thanks Replies to this message: sfwales (Oct 19, 2006 7:22 pm)

Replying to: mccormack (Oct 18, 2006 3:34 pm) I just took a 500 miles trip and now have about 900 miles on my RRS and for the last two days the noise has been significantly less - it sounds normal to me now. So maybe the mechanics are right. Hopefully, it will not come back.
#590 of 647 Brake noise by uscrrs Oct 20, 2006 (9:38 am)
My RRS has about 13,000 miles, the brakes have been making noise for quite some time, i took it in and they said that the brake squeking was normally, and in order to reduce it a bit, i should drive at about 50mph then slam on my brakes to wipe down the rotors. Has any one had this problem of the brakes squeking?
