2001 Subaru Forester L review from North America
"Love my car, dealer needs help!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My transmission died at 76230 miles. It is now being rebuilt. I took it to the dealer the only thing they could tell me was that it was internal transmission failure and I would need a new transmission to the tune of $4182.13 to have it replaced. However no specifics were provided by the dealer as to why or how the transmission went out on such a low mileage car.
Are there others who have experienced a the need for a transmission replacement at such a low mileage? I have not had the car even a year and I think the dealer missed some details when they sold me this car.
General comments?
I love my car, but am really disappointed by this turn of events.
Twice I have called Subaru headquarters and they have not called me back in one week and they did not call me back today either, although I was told again that I would get a call back.
