Will you be able to get any of your money back?

 

i'm not sure. i paid for a different seat related repair, but i'm sure my problem was caused by this problem.

 

If you push it you might get it taken care of .

 

i spoke to a customer service rep today. there will be no reimbursement. there will also probably be no future subaru's for me. once this one blows a motor, and i put a 2.5l in it, and blow that i'm gonna get rid of it

 

i just got that railing recall also

 

Yeah, if they're trying to start appealing to upmarket buyers and competing with Volvo, Saab, BMW, Benz, SOA needs to get their head out of their *** and start providing better service.

 

it would appear that the fix consists of: a bolt with a lockwasher on it and some red loctite. it's probably the same damn bolt as before, but with loctite on it. what I have issue with is the way it's constructed. simply adding a large flat washer between the lock washer and the bracket itself would prevent the problem. there are numerous stories of the bracket breaking around the bolt, it's even happened to me. replacing the bolt won't fix that.

 

about time subaru realized this was going on. i once went to the dealer to get it fixed but after watching the tech fix my seat i just did it myself when it happened again.

 

I just wanted to add that mine didn't loosen up until about 2 months after getting this recall done. Before that, it had never come loose at all. My fix was a large washer as stated above and more loctite.

damn bug eyes were Subarus ginipigs...

first the tranny, then the ABS system, then the turbo cooling system, now this.. F-N-A

 

my seat makes a wierd popping noise if i lean back...and kinda gives about a half inch or so...is this the "loose bolt" problem?
