TRANSMISSION FAILED BACKING OUT OF DRIVEWAY CAUSING CAR TO STALL IN STREET. IT HAD TO BE MANUALLY PUSHED OUT OF POTENTIAL DANGER. NO FORWARNING OF FAILURE, THE CAR WAS RUNNING IN A NORMAL MANOR WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURED. IT WAS FORTUNATE THAT THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC WHEN THE INCIDENT HAPPENED OR THAT IT DID NOT HAPPEN ON THE EXPRESSWAY. *AK

CONSTANT PROBLEM WITH TRANSMISSION. HAD TO BE REPLACED WITH LOW ORIGINAL MILES ON IT. REAR BEARING FAILED. 4 TIMES ON REAR PASS SIDE, 1 TIME ON REAR DRIVER SIDE. ALL FAIL AT LOW MILES ON CAR. UNDER 60K, ALL HIGHWAY MILES

TRANSMISSION FAILED AT 95,000 MILES WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN USE, CAUSED SAFETY HAZARD. *AK

TRANSMISSION AND DIFFERENTIAL FAILED WITH VERY LOW MILEAGE FOR SUCH MAJOR FAILURES.

FIXES ARE KNOWN FOR THESE PROBLEMS, I FEEL SUBARU OF AMERICA SHOULD PICK-UP THE TAB! THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT PROBLEM WAS PRESENT IN THE RE-MANUFACTURED TRANSMISSION FROM DAY-1. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT SEVERAL PROBLEMS EXIST IN THE 92-93 TRANNYS ALL OF WHICH HAVE FIXES! AS FOR THE WHEEL BEARING ISSUE, THE ORIGINAL BEARINGS STARTED FAILING AT ABOUT 60K THE REPLACEMENTS LAST ABOUT 1 YEAR AND THEN BECOME NOISY. FROM 60K I HAVE HAD 8 BEARINGS REPLACED. THIS PROCEDURE COST THE CUSTOMER ABOUT $330.00 PER BEARING REPLACEMENT. I HOPE SOMETHING CAN BE DONE. *AK

LEFT REAR WHEEL BEARING FIRST FAILED AT 55000 MILES; REPLACEMENT FAILED 59000; NEW REPLACEMENTS FAILING @ 65000. (AT TIME OF 2ND REPLACEMENT, DEALER INSISTED I BUY A NEW WHEEL -- PROBABLY UNNECESSARY.) HOW MANY COMPLAINTS BEFORE RECALL MANDATED?

NOISE &PULLY BEARING SEAL LEAKED

SUBARU TRANNY'S FAILING LEFT AND RIGHT. JUST LOOK THROUGH YOUR DATABASE

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION LEAKS DUE A BAD SEAL THAT IS ON THE TRANSMISSION. THE LEAK IS ON TOP AF THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WHICH CAUSES FUMES AND VAPORS INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER HAS BEEN CONTACTED AND UP GRADED THE SEAL, BUT IT IS STILL DEFECTIVE. *AK

THE FOLLOWING LETTER HAS BEEN SENT TO SUBARU OF AMERICA.... THIS LETTER IS SENT ON THE BEHALF OF THE MANY OWNERS THAT HAVE EXPERIENCED MULTIPLE FAILURES OF THE 4EAT AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION IN THE SUBARU SVX. IT IS EVIDENT THAT THERE IS A DESIGN FLAW IN THE TRANSMISSION THAT CAUSES THE PREMATURE FAILURES FOR ALL MODEL YEARS. THESE FAILURES HAVE OCCURRED IN CARS WITH VERY LOW MILEAGE AND CONTINUED TO OCCUR THEREAFTER. REPAIR AND/OR REPLACMENT OF THE TRANSMISSION IS VERY EXPENSIVE, COSTING APPROXIMATELY AND, AS OF THIS DATE, THERE HAS BEEN NO SUPPORT FROM SUBARU. UNDERSTANDABLY, THE OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES HAVE BECOME QUITE ANGRY AT SUBARU'S LACK OF RESPONSE OR ACKNOWLEDGEMENT THAT A PROBLEM EVEN EXISTS, AND HAVE CONSULTED LEGAL COUNSEL REGARDING A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. TO AVOID AN UNPLEASANT AND HOSTILE SITUATION, AND IN AN EFFORT TO MAINTAIN GOOD RELATIONS WITH THE OWNERS OF YOUR CARS, THE FOLLOWING SOLUTIONS ARE DEMANDED: 1. SUBARU RECALLS AND REPLACES THE TRANSMISSIONS FOR ALL MODEL YEARS 2. EXTENDS THE TRANSMISSION WARRANTY TO 100,000 MILES FOR ALL MODEL YEARS UNLESS A WRITTEN RESPONSE IS RECEIVED WITHIN 30 DAYS, LITIGATION WILL BE INSTITUTED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ANTICIPATED COURTESY AND COOPERATION.

TRANSMISSION WOULD MAKE CLUNKING NOISES WHENEVER IT IS SHIFTING INTO OVERDRIVE. TAKING VEHICLE TO DEALER TO CHECK. *AK

TRANSMISSION STARTED SLIPPING IN THIRD TO FORTH THEN STARTED SLIPPING INTO THIRD. NOW HAS ONLY FIRST AND SECOND GEARS OPERATING. HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS TRANSMISSION IN SVXS INCLUDING NUMEROUS FACTORY TSB'S FOR KNOWN PROBLEMS. THE LOCAL DEALER STATES THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND IT IS NOT UNUSUAL FOR MANY TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENTS IN SAME VEHICLE. MANUFACTURER HAS OBVIOUSLY INADEQUATELY DESIGNED AND RELEASED THIS PART AND SHOULD BE FORCED TO RECALL AND REPAIR WITH KNOWN FACTORY FIXES.

LEGAL STUFF

WHEN I BOUGHT CAR 30,000 MILES AGO, THEY SAID TRANNY WAS REPLACED. I NOW LEARN THERE IS ALOT OF PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION IN THE 1992-1994 1/2 SUBARU SVXS. I AM DISABLED DUE TO AN AUTO ACCIDENT AND DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO SHELL OUT ON TRANSMISSIONS THIS OFTEN. I HOPE THAT SOMEONE TALKS TO SUBARU AND MAKES THEM ACCOUNTABLE FOR WHAT THEY ARE DOING TO THEIR CUSTOMERS. IT NOT ONLY LOOKS BAD THAT THEY DESIGNED SOMETHING THIS POOR IN THE FIRST PLACE, BUT THEY KNOW THE PROBLEM AND ARE NOT TAKING THE PROPER STEPS TO FIX IT WITH THE CARS THEY SOLD FOR AN OUTRAGEOUS AMOUNT OF MONEY.

NO SUMMARY

LESS THAN 20K ON REBUILT TRANS W/O ABUSIVE DRIVING HABITS. NO OPTIONS FROM DEALER EXCEPT TO SEND IT FOR ANOTHER REMANUFACTURE. WHERE IS MY OPTION IN REPAIR AND EXPLANATION OF METAL SHAVING SOURCE?

HAD JUST PUT KEY IN IGNITION & STARTED VEHICLE WHEN THE BATTERY EXPLODED UNDER THE HOOD, LIKE A BOMB. *AK

TRANSMISSION FAILURE WHILE DRIVING. RPM'S JUMPED FROM 2.5K TO 4.5K WITH A LOSS OF POWER. TRANSMISSION NOW NEEDS AN OVERHAUL. REAR WHEEL BEARINGS, BOTH RIGHT AND LEFT, HAVE ALSO PREMATURELY WORN OUT AND FAILED. RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET SHOWS THESE TWO PROBEMS TO BE COMMON FAILURES IN THE SUBARU SVX, ESPECIALLY 92-94 MODEL YEARS.

AS A MECHANIC, I MUST SAY THAT I NEVER HAVE SEEN SO MANY TSB'S, MODIFICATIONS, AND FAILURES FOR A TRANS THAT WAS NOT RECALLED. IT'S OBVIOUS THAT THIS TRANS IS AS DEFECTIVE, IF NOT MORE, THAN THE SAME UNITS IN THE LEGACY AND OTHER MODELS THAT WERE RECALLE

HAVE REPLACED WHEEL BEARINGS SEVERAL TIMES (4) IN THREE YEARS. TRANSMISSION FAILED AND NEEDS REPLACING. THESE A CURRENTLY KNOWN DEFECTS WITH THE SVX. THE TRANSMISSION IS A VERY COSTLY REPLACEMENT.

NO SUMMARY

CD PLAYER FAILED.*ET

TRANSMISSION FAILS TO LOCK UP IN FOURTH GEAR WHEN TEMPERATURE IS BELOW +32 DEG F. AT ANY TEMPERATURE BELOW 0 DEF F., THE TRANSMISSION MAY NEVER LOCK UP. DROVE 900 MILES IN ONE DAY AT TEMPERATURES OF 0 TO -15 DEG F. THE TRANSMISSION NEVER DID LOCK UP. HAVE HAD IT INTO THE SERVICE DEALER 3 TIMES. THEY TEST DROVE IT IN COLD WEATHER AND ALSO HAD LOCK UP PROBLEMS. IF THE TRANSMISSION GOES ABOVE 140 DEG F IT WORKS OK. PROBLEM IS, WHEN IT GETS COLD OUT, THE TRANSMISSION MAY NEVER GET ABOVE 140 DEG F. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT INDICATED THE MANUFACTURER DID NOT KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM COULD BE. GAS MILAGE IS EXTREMELY POOR IN COLD WEATHER. *AK
