I just had to replace a right-rear wheel bearing in a 2006 Outback 2.5 XT wagon at 15,300 miles!!! I found a bunch of posts on premature wheel bearing failures on older models -- 1998 to 2001. Is this a chronic problem with Subarus or is an old problem resurfacing? Is there anything to be done to make sure that if the problem continues past the warranty coverage that the costs will be covered by Subaru? |

Replying to: paisan (Dec 19, 2007 7:51 pm) Obviously you didnt read my posts, my subaru forester is pile of junk BECAUSE, 1) THE TRANSMISSION slipped from day one and was replaced with a remanufactured trans by the dealer at 5000 miles .new car rebuilt trans BS ! 2) The car drives terrible and feels unsafe at freeway speeds.. 3) The car has had four wheel bearings replaced in less than thirteen thousand miles.. 4) The car has a terrible axle shaft or drivetrain vibration that two dealers have been unable to fix... 5) The car has been a complete rattle trap from day one and still has issues 6) I am finding many other forester owners with the same complaints and i think a class action lawsuit against subaru might give us a small amount of justice Thank you for your concern,btw do you work for subaru or what? Erik
