I have had to replace rear wheel bearing on my 2000 Subaru Forester 3 times right and left rear over the last four years. I see through online reading that this is a common complaint with the Subaru and they have done nothing to fix the problem. Pressure needs to be put on them to remedy the situation.

Failure of oxygen sensor that was replaced due to recall caused gasoline to be dumped into catalytic converter. Our mechanic said that the converter became red hot and it was an extremely hazardous situation. Parts were replaced and are not now available.
