I reported it as the spam it is.
dboz. I am very very very much thinking about an STI. Very annoying to have to keep going back and forth the the dealership. I NEVER once took my xB back to the dealer. So far I have had to visit Subaru of Hunt Valley at least 5 times and currently Subaru of Catonsville 3 times. That's 8 times between 2 cars in basically 6 months and not one of those times was for an oil change. |

Has anyone received any info on what the NEW maintenance schedule is if you had a motor replaced? I.e. mine popped at 3100, it would be retarded to bring a new motor in for the 3750 maintenance, but who knows if they would use that against you.

Yes, you spun a bearing. I'm just waiting for mine to go, although since I'm expecting it to happen, every day it doesn't is a bonus. |

I would still follow the maintenance schedule in your warranty book because the rest of the car is still under the warranty and maintenance schedule. I would try to "sink up" the oil changes by doing them a little sooner.

For those of you with the sticking idle. I dropped my car off and got a call as soon as I got home. The service writer said there is no flash for the 2009's. They also drove it and were not able to witness the sticking idle. So back to square one. It doesn't affect the car too much so its ok ^^

09 WRX engine problems
Another one.
Vin 500060. Build date 7/08. Mileage 4540. Thanks to the videos on here I caught mine before it quit running and got it to the dealer. They have a call into Subaru to get the OK to replace the engine. Should know more tomorrow but if Subaru does not give the OK to replace the engine, I will be on the phone to them myself. |

Yes 13,198 miles when it went. I thought I was safe. Was running fine on Ohio turnpike this morning. Then all of sudden started hearing a clanking noise. It got louder and louder then I know what happened. Boy I was pissed. What a way to ruin my day. The dealer said he has 3 other in shop I am number 4 in shop right now with same symptom. SOA is not telling them anything. But they suspect a wrong bearing was installed. I told them that if you go on youtube that you can listen to countless others. If Subaru don't get off the butts they are going to have a consumer problem on there hands. Like no consumers.

That sucks, man. As I said before, it used to be thought that 5k miles and you were safe. That eventually went up to 10k. Just goes to show us that we have no idea. Maybe some will fail at 30k, 60k? Who knows? Maybe Subaru does but they aren't talking. Good job, Subaru. What a cluster ****.

Yet another blown engine, 5970 miles, 09 wrx
[quote=TuningIsLife;24638270]After seeing a few posts about other people having motor issues with their 2009 Subarus, I would like to see who all is having problems.
Today I myself detected internal engine failure. By detected I mean I heard a loud knocking sound at 2000-3000 RPMs. Add me to the list, I purchased my car in October and I had just under 6000 miles on it when it blew a rod bearing, taking out my turbo as well. The dealership has told me that turbos are backordered all across the state(s?) and I've been with a rental for near a month. Subaru is also claiming that this is my fault since the tires were well worn, but is replacing this under Subaru's 'customer goodwill' policy. All I have to do is sign the papers when they get in, and I'm not sure I want to since this seems to be a massive problem with the engine running too lean. I live at altitude, 5000ft daily and my home is at 8200, which certainly doesn't help matters (Boulder, Colorado). Any advise? -Sam |

Well if anything, it's interesting that your dealer admitted that there are three others in the shop for the same thing. most dealers just seem to plead ignorance and say "we've never seen this before" blah blah blah.... also interesting though that we DEFINITELY should be seeing later build dates by now. I mean, even just one 10/08 build or 11/08 build...but still nix. I think its fair to say that ALL of the July/Aug/earlySep builds ARE going to go at some point, so to anyone who hasn't yet, I would just say to push the engine hard all the time when you're in town and hope it goes someplace not out in the middle of nowhere. Then get the new engine and at least some peace of mind that the new engines seem to be ok (except for the one guy, who probably got an early engine from the original stock). |

I think it's also interesting to note that for hatches at least, it seems like VINs have jumped from 80xxxx to 82xxxx. Does anyone have an 81xxxx? Maybe the 81xxxx models went to different markets (and if so, have there been any failures in these)? Quote:
I DO agree that those who hope to "get it over with" should consider pushing the engine hard--the high percentage of 1000-2000 mile failures suggests a correlation with post-break-in driving behavior. |

I am not sure what they want you to sign; regardless of what it is I would be disinclined to sign it (ie the way you have described it doesn't sound good). If it has been 30 days you should look into your state's lemon laws. My understanding was that if it was in the shop for more than 30 days (Ohio) period it could be claimed as a lemon. Others have indicated that even after 30 days one must give the manufacturer one more chance to remedy the problem but I'm not so sure that is correct...? Either way look in to it; it is my assessment that if you can get rid of the 09 WRX without to much monetary loss you should do so. Otherwise I suggest you mention to them that you are considering the lemon laws. Another member did that and they fixed his car ASAP (regardless of the turbo shortage). |
