Have we gotten to the point where low tire pressure causes several thousand in damage? Short width bumpers that stop 8" from the corners leaving just the plastic bumper cover isn't enough? They could easily flash a warning using the ABS wheel speed system to warn about this condition, just like the low tire pressure warning does. This is an intentional blame the user cash grab. You could let air out of the back to see if the noise goes away. | |

Properly taken care of, Subaru's AWD system will last a long time. I have a 12 year old Subaru that has never had an AWD problem. The head gasket is another story... | |

| Dec 29, 2015 at 5:43 | comment | added | Fred Wilson | @DucatiKiller I would keep the question as it has good a technical explanation. Suby transfer clutches are super picky about tire diameter. One of many reasons I won't own one, but I work on several per day. | |

| Dec 29, 2015 at 3:50 | comment | added | DucatiKiller | That's a pretty subjective question. I'm not sure if you can turn it one that isn't.. The site here is more about the technical issues you are having rather than service issues you are experiencing. I'm going to vote to close this unless you want to convert to a technical question. Sorry to hear about your poor experience. Cheers! | |
