Did not mean to ruffle so many furs
I guess the wrong thing to do was try to findout what my service knew. I gave you what they gave me. Never said that it was the problem, just gave some advice that they gave. Never knew it would ruffle so many furs. I do understand and agree with you all, you do not want to buy a new car and have these major issues. It would just p!ss me off too. I wish all of you the most success in getting this issue resolved so that the WRX can be the most dependable performance vehicle it has always been in the past. Just reading the post it seems like somewhere a bad batch when though and landed on the streets in the consumers hands.
Good luck to you all and if I should every heard anything special that Subaru has decided to do I will post it. |

Hi, I had just bought an 09 wagon just now. No problems yet of course. only 77 miles right now and I haven't revved over 4000. I won't do any aggressive driving until after 3000 miles and first oil change. Hopefully I won't have any problems.

ok...this is the thread i have been looking for! I bought a 09 wrx in October of last year and this chistmas i had too get the turbo replaced because oil was not getting to the turbo. Instead the oil was sprayed all over the engine compartment, causing the burn out of the turbo. Before this happened i had that juddering sound under the hood. Just this past week that same sound happened again, the next time i went too turn the car on it was dead. Subaru had the car brought in too the nearest dealership to give it a look over. Now i am in my second week of waiting for a new turbo and a new engine! This is all covered by warranty, but come on this is not what i expected of a Japanese product let a loan a subaru! I have done my home work for the last eight years on these cars and finally decided too get one... I guess you could say that i am a proud owner of a 35,000 dollar NIGHTMARE!

Tom it seems like others have had the same concerns as you about the VIN. Just provide your VIN in the following format (based upon my VIN): instead of 500277 do 500XXX or 5002XX. |

The list should be (and has been) limited to the specific rod knocking symptom and subsequent failure. We don't want to lump in failures due to other causes and it sounds like his failure was due to an oil leak at one of the turbo supply lines which caused oil starvation in the motor.

Tom check out BIGSKY's post to see if that sound is familiar. Also maybe you could elaborate a little more on the information contained on your service reports. I guess I'd be more interested in the recent total engine/turbo failure (although I take it your vehicle is currently in the shop so maybe this will have to wait). |
