billyboy Posted July 23, 2006 Posted July 23, 2006 Or do Subaru and the dealer network not give a stuff? It is now a year and my car still has the same problems after 5900 miles since i bought it. Do they care? NO!
micra_wrc Posted July 23, 2006 Posted July 23, 2006 aww billy, sorry to hear they've not fixed the problems on your squib [{] perhaps its time to get rid of it and come back to classic ownership []
the squiggle Posted July 23, 2006 Posted July 23, 2006 Terzo was such a nice car. New age then puts you off the Subaru brand. Trade it on for a MY00 Type R with low miles and go back to having some fun with the bleeding thing. or...... hire a muck spreader and coat International Motors in cow dung shouting "Castlemilk auld team, ya bass" What ever makes you happier
G.Mac Posted July 23, 2006 Posted July 23, 2006 Hes talking about the knocking noise coming up through the steering that cannot be fixed as they have got rid of the rubber damper in the steering to "give a more precise steering feel" and the ratteling rear window problem. The think that has got our back up is the fact that when we test drove our cars they did not know, the knocking only startet to become apparent after 300+ miles. I think if any of the cars we had test drove did this we would not have bought them!!!! I would rather have a stering columb that does not knock its pan in every time you go over a bump on a corner to one that "has more precise feeling" I have driven a few STi my05 onwards cars inc being in a spec D for the Richard Burns Relay and I only heard the knock once over the whole weekend!!! and they do not do it as much as our cars, but I have to admit since they changed the rack its not been quite as bad. Things didnt start happening untill I phoned the MD of Subaru UK (and I know its not in his work remit to listen to complaints) but I was left soo frustrated I had no other way to turn (and it took me a week of trying and getting phobbed off to get him!)

billyboy Posted July 23, 2006 Author Posted July 23, 2006 Grant, Cow Dung wins it mate would love to see that spread over a certain dealers showroom window.[6]
thewelsho Posted July 24, 2006 Posted July 24, 2006 How about we create a flyer with the details of your problem. Get as many Scoobie owners from here to volunteer to distribute them on the dealers fore-court (or close to it). Once you have that set up, inform the dealer of your intention; let's see if there is a change of tune. We might also organise a one-hour drive-around in that, the same Scoobie drivers meet up and contunially drive round and round the dealer in protest. Perhaps a combination of both strategies. Again, inform the dealer of your intention.
bigdavie Posted July 24, 2006 Posted July 24, 2006 i'd be up for that !!! as billy is a stand up guy !!!
