problem #1

Tribeca Limited 3.6L H6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 97,000 miles

When driving down the road around 30-40 mph, when I push the accelerator slightly to keep speed or to accelerate just a little I hear knocking noise coming out of the engine. I read a lot about this and I even read that some people who own subarus complained to the dealer about it and their answer is "It is normal, all subarus do that" Well I guess if engine knock is normal then what is not??

I owned many toyotas in my life never had such issues as I had with this junk. I had my mechanic replace knock sensor and spark plugs and still the same!! IDK what else to do. This car is full of troubles. I really regret the day I bought it.
