that's the new record
sadly I still think EVERY 07/08 build will ultimately fail

I guess I should say they will all ultimately fail pre-maturely

Pretty sad, you'd think that these issues would be present in an introductory model.. not a model released after 6+ years.

If it hadn't failed, but Subaru offered to replace your motor, for free, at 27,000 miles, wouldn't you say "yes"? |

I dont know if anyone has mentioned this already, but Autoweek magazine has been doing a long term test on a 2009 Forester XT.
In this weeks issue (pg 26. nov 2,09) they reported that the motor failed at around 15,000 miles. They mention the issue of an internal stop-sale order for a series of vins spanning several models etc... "The problem centered on potentially abnormal wear conditions affecting crank ends of the connecting rods." They report it taking 2 weeks to be repaired and of course they got it fixed under warranty without arguement. They still seem to be happy with it now that they have it back tho |

no,.. the problem stopped with the last you mentioned.. in 09/08 and in the case of 09/08 there was i think 1 maybe 2 cases, so it would have been very early in the build date of september,.. anything 10/08 or later has not been mentioned or reported,.... whats funny is i think i've answered this same question 6 times now....................................

Failure rate, not numbers
Unfortunately I unknowingly purchased an '09 a few months ago with an 08/08 build date so I've been following this topic rather closely. I know somewhere we have a list of how many members here with the 07/08 - 09/08(?) build date and motors that failed but what about those who have an '09 in that build date range that hasn't failed? What I'm getting at is how much higher the failure rate is compared to other build dates. Also, how many WRX's for NA were built in those two months? The statistician in me wants to see some real data rather than anecdotal evidence.

^^ the amount that havn't failed according to the data are much higher than the ones who have failed, from what i can remember i think it was 8% or somethin like that, which is fairly substantial considering it refers to engine failure in brand new cars,.. however there is no way in knowing for sure what the numbers are is this only people who have reported on Nasioc,.. how many have failed and havn't responded to the post,.. thats where the real numbers are..

because if you're serious you're a moron,.. the question has been asked countless times and and answered by me alone around 7 times,.. if you took two minutes to read even the last few pages you would see 5 or 6 examples of poeple just like you throwing up a worried post saying their car has a build date of 10/08 or later like you with your 12/08 build date,.. and with the same answer,.. NO,.. for the hundredth time and if you read anything in this thread,.. the only affected build dates reported are (drumroll please) 07/08, 08/08 and one or two reported early in the vin range on some 09/08's... subaru made an adjustment in the cleaniliness factor of how they machined the cranks so as to not destroy bearings,.. thats why nothing after 09/08 has failed,... i just dont get it why you guys refuse to read anything in the thread if you have an 09 wrx..,..

secondly, i did read that affected dates were 07/08, 08/08, and 09/08.... i think its legitimate to ask if anyone with a 12/08 has suffered from this issue... if you dont agree, thats fine. just dont be a douche. also let me ad this: my mistake, cause i am not perfect, is that i didnt simply do a search. sorry. about that anyways. but this thread is like a million pages long by now. so i figured i could just ask a Q without any lash. i was wrong. anyways, moving on... |

next time just respond with "do a search" rather than your above responses. it would have been over and done with instantly. but because you believe my response was an anathema, we have already wasted way more time on this than we should have. and yes, from my stand point, you were being a douche bag. |
