Warranty Question.

Well, my Subaru is in for work, getting repainted, also, the high beams don’t work.

I know Subaru has a 3/36 FULL BTB warranty… I wore through a set of pads all the way around at 9k miles, and the front rotors were also bad, so I replaced them too. I never replaced the rear rotors because they were in good shape, but I guess I was wrong, they have been vibrating on harder stops ( i know it’s coming from the rear)
SHOULD Subaru replace the rear rotors under warranty? I ask you guys because the dealership is already throwing away a few grand on my car for a repaint and a rental car, and I don’t want them to dick me over on my warranty because of it.

The reason I replaced all the brakes my self (besides rear rotors) is they were shot, and I didn’t think Subaru would replace them,but my friend who is a tech at toyota, and USED to work at Subaru said subaru has a full maintenance plan 3/36 including wear and tear items

That would show up on your warranty…check out the fine print.

how bout you just call instead of posting …

Because I could see them saying, Um,no, that is from aggressive driving, hence why I asked here. They are already looking at the car, so I just don’t want to get a $300 bill after this is all done.

BTW:I’m stuck with a toyota prius for a rental, 50mpg ftw

do you have insurance on the prius?

YES. :slight_smile:

I can’t find how to turn the TC off thought :frowning:

lets put a hundred shot on it and see what happens

already got it up to 110. thing had some more in it too, not bad for 90hp.

He was able to
turn the traction control off with a button on his dash and that solved his beach
driving problem as it allowed him to engage both front wheels simultaneously.

? Nothing on the Dash?

You tracked the car, just buy the rotors.

fuck that if he can get away with them replacing them for free who cares…

If he plans on upgrading (which it sounds like he should) then thats a different story

I honestly can’t see a place covering brakes

I went around in circles with Mazda over warranty brakes on my wife’s protege, as she basically needed all new pads and rotors every spring the first 3 years she owned it. I bitched my way up the chain, talking them in circles, but got nothing but “brakes are normal wear and tear and only covered for 12 months.” Her problem was a bit different, as the pads would seize and chew up the discs, but still.

Wearable item. I can almost guarantee they won’t replace them. Old ladies ride the brakes like woah, they don’t get them replaced for their bad driving habits.

subaru does cover pads and rotors, they replaced mine all around before the 3/36K was up

get em replaced for free if you can, why not

They told you like a month ago before that the brakes were that shitty because of aggressive driving… why would it change now?

i would ask, but if they say no i wouldnt fight it, they are already dropping a shit ton of money on your car.

p.s buy mudflaps if you havent already

It took me a minute and that included finding what year WRX you had

Wear Item Limited Warranty
Wear item coverage is 3 year or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first. Items covered are brake pad/shoe linings, clutch linings, and wiper blades.

Hah…free wipers! ftw!

rotors should be covered at the very least 12mo/12k from inservice date. any the dealership is not spending money on your car by doing warranty work…they are making money. If there is any way for them to put a claim in through suby. im sure they would.

BRAKE PADS are wearable items, not ROTORS

Have you seen wrx commercials? The car is marketed to people who would take their cars on the track and beat the hell out of it.

danmit, I shouldn’t have spent $200 on new brakes/rotors if I knew this. ugh, i’m dumb
