1992 Subaru Svx

FIXES ARE KNOWN FOR THESE PROBLEMS, I FEEL SUBARU OF AMERICA SHOULD PICK-UP THE TAB! THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT PROBLEM WAS PRESENT IN THE RE-MANUFACTURED TRANSMISSION FROM DAY-1. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT SEVERAL PROBLEMS EXIST IN THE 92-93 TRANNYS ALL OF WHICH HAVE FIXES! AS FOR THE WHEEL BEARING ISSUE, THE ORIGINAL BEARINGS STARTED FAILING AT ABOUT 60K THE REPLACEMENTS LAST ABOUT 1 YEAR AND THEN BECOME NOISY. FROM 60K I HAVE HAD 8 BEARINGS REPLACED. THIS PROCEDURE COST THE CUSTOMER ABOUT $330.00 PER BEARING REPLACEMENT. I HOPE SOMETHING CAN BE DONE. *AK

THE FOLLOWING LETTER HAS BEEN SENT TO SUBARU OF AMERICA.... THIS LETTER IS SENT ON THE BEHALF OF THE MANY OWNERS THAT HAVE EXPERIENCED MULTIPLE FAILURES OF THE 4EAT AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION IN THE SUBARU SVX. IT IS EVIDENT THAT THERE IS A DESIGN FLAW IN THE TRANSMISSION THAT CAUSES THE PREMATURE FAILURES FOR ALL MODEL YEARS. THESE FAILURES HAVE OCCURRED IN CARS WITH VERY LOW MILEAGE AND CONTINUED TO OCCUR THEREAFTER. REPAIR AND/OR REPLACMENT OF THE TRANSMISSION IS VERY EXPENSIVE, COSTING APPROXIMATELY AND, AS OF THIS DATE, THERE HAS BEEN NO SUPPORT FROM SUBARU. UNDERSTANDABLY, THE OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES HAVE BECOME QUITE ANGRY AT SUBARU'S LACK OF RESPONSE OR ACKNOWLEDGEMENT THAT A PROBLEM EVEN EXISTS, AND HAVE CONSULTED LEGAL COUNSEL REGARDING A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. TO AVOID AN UNPLEASANT AND HOSTILE SITUATION, AND IN AN EFFORT TO MAINTAIN GOOD RELATIONS WITH THE OWNERS OF YOUR CARS, THE FOLLOWING SOLUTIONS ARE DEMANDED: 1. SUBARU RECALLS AND REPLACES THE TRANSMISSIONS FOR ALL MODEL YEARS 2. EXTENDS THE TRANSMISSION WARRANTY TO 100,000 MILES FOR ALL MODEL YEARS UNLESS A WRITTEN RESPONSE IS RECEIVED WITHIN 30 DAYS, LITIGATION WILL BE INSTITUTED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ANTICIPATED COURTESY AND COOPERATION.

TRANSMISSION STARTED SLIPPING IN THIRD TO FORTH THEN STARTED SLIPPING INTO THIRD. NOW HAS ONLY FIRST AND SECOND GEARS OPERATING. HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS TRANSMISSION IN SVXS INCLUDING NUMEROUS FACTORY TSB'S FOR KNOWN PROBLEMS. THE LOCAL DEALER STATES THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND IT IS NOT UNUSUAL FOR MANY TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENTS IN SAME VEHICLE. MANUFACTURER HAS OBVIOUSLY INADEQUATELY DESIGNED AND RELEASED THIS PART AND SHOULD BE FORCED TO RECALL AND REPAIR WITH KNOWN FACTORY FIXES.
