problem #1

Jun 012021

Impreza 2018

  • Automatic transmission
  • 14,700 miles

A very regular squeaking noise started in the front right end. I'd asked the dealership to look at it while it was in for maintenance and they said they didn't hear anything.

I wasn't really driving my car that month, and a couple weeks I drove it again it was squeaking every 5-15 seconds, loudly and anxiety making. I took it in, they said it was a failed steering rack, and that usually wouldn't happen without a major accident, and it was a defect in the part. I was told "between them and me" this might not be an isolated incident.

Already had two recalls and the battery draining very quickly and failing twice. At <15k miles having a problem that could've led to a crash isn't a great feeling. Luckily it was under warranty.
