contact SOA and let them know they may be able to help you out, they are pretty good about it. I just got my car back from the dealership for a blown piston ringland, took 3 weeks though...

Just had the same thing happen to my car. Noise came out of no where. It's a 2012 and has just under 9k on the odo. Immediately brought it to the dealer and they requested my service records. Oil was changed at 4400 miles and only had one issue with this car before. The hose coming from the inter cooler to the throttle body came off(which as I understand is a known issue).
Hoping they cover this on warranty. I have not "beat" on this car. It's my daily driver and I only have a 4-5 mile commute to and from work on 30-40mph roads. |

Spun a rod bearing in my 12 last week. 19k miles. Took the dealership a week to replace the block with a 2013 block. Due to zinc in the 12 rod bearings?:/

2 weeks ago I was on my way home and I started to hear a knocking sound coming from my engine I got home and park the car. The following day I called the dealership told them wat happen and the advised me not to drive it they will send a toe truck for it, got to the dealership and the first thing the service ask me is "have u done any modifications to the car"? I said no it is as stock as the day I drove it off the lot apart from the vortex generator I bought from them the same day I bought the car, they put me in a crosstrek and said they wouldn't get to it until monday (3 days later) I said ok and left. A week later I hot a call saying that 1 of the rings came off the piston in the cylinder which is thw knocking I'm hearing so they will have to order a new short block. Yesterday I got a call saying my repairs might not be covered under warranty because my ecu has been tampered with. Now my car has never been tuned in any form it is exactly as I drove it off the lot less than three months ago . Has anyone had to deal with anything like this before with subaru? Any and all input will be greatly appreciated thanks in advance..

Stick to your guns. If you didn't do anything, don't let them tell you that you did.

Sorry I didn't specify but I bought the car brand new at that same dealership 3 months ago i picked it up with 11 miles on it. 2 weeks after having the car I had to take it back for an alignment because it kept pulling to the right which it still does even after having it aligned, the second time my car was there is when I had the first oil change. Those were the only times my car have been worked on.

You would think they would have handled this better since I bought the car from them

What happens to resale value?
I've just recently had to take my 2013 WRX in for a rod knock as well... I have a long commute, and my car was up near 18k miles... I'm worried that if I go to trade in the car or sell it privately that the car will be dramatically devalued.
Does anyone have any experience with this? I was considering talking with my dealership about either a replacement car due to the possible devaluation of the car, or asking if they'll give me a nice trade in value for it to allow me to purchase a 2014... Any thoughts? |

Can you request concrete info as to how they have determined that? Surely, they do not expect that you are just going to take their word for it. I would like to see what dealerships are using as evidence in cases like this.

The dealership is not giving me anything concrete everthing I asked for they told me they can't give me, like a print out of wat they sent to subaru, they said they have no way if printing it out and I'm definitely not gonna sit oround n let this go and there seems to be a lot of 2011, 2012 and 2013 engine failures with short bock replacements

It sounds like they are just trying to interrogate you into admitting something. If they can't prove it then I would believe it wouldn't be a justifiable cause. Take it above their head and get anyone high up on the chain involved if needed. Business HATE negative feedback. The people lower on the totem pole don't care but those higher up will.
