it finally happened

my transmission went boom after 22xxx miles. ive complained many times about my transmission and every time they say thats normal and never check it. so im waiting to see what subaru says today they said they need to tear it down and see if they are warranting it.. if not i owe them 900 for the tear down ill let you guys know what they say.

I wouldnt pay for the 900 bro if they dont which they should since you dont have a aftermarket flywheel or clutch or gears. They should of told you at the start if it is warrantied or not before the tear down due to it costing that much for it. Thats what they did on my Rack and Pinion that toasted.

How could that not be covered? Its a mechanical failure. What good is a warranty if they won't honor it???

If they deny we'll do a Def'Sik stealership takeover. Fill up all Their parking spots with our cars and leave zero room for their customers. In my experience, dealership service depts are run by a monkey in a suit who is an advocate for the company, not the customer. I have no time for their holier than thou self importance.
