My 99 subaru impreza rs's rear wheel bearings are starting to fail. I've been doing some research and find that this is a common problem with subaru's. There is an obvious defect with the bearing because so many people are experiencing problems. I also found that there is a new procedure for repairing the wheel bearing, which would indicate subaru's knowledge of the defective part. *jb

Dt: the contact owns a 1999 subaru impreza. The contact stated while trying to install car seat in order to use the tether strap a mounting bracket has to be installed. Subaru insisted that contact pay for this bracket, he felt that this was a safety issue, and she should not have to pay for this. He was going to purchase this mounting bracket because for the safety of his child, but he felt that this was something that the manufacturer should do. The vehicle was purchased on august 27, 2005.*ak

Fuel leak on passenger side fuel rails in weather below 30' f. Substantial amount of fuel is leaking due to the rubber hoses underneath the intake manifold not being tightened enough. There is a tsb on this matter however i'm past my warranty period. Considering this leak is right next to the turbocharger this is just an accident waiting to happen.*ak

Airflow meter/sensor failed at 75,000. *ak

NoNoN NoneNone20040207

The failure occurred when subaru decided to no longer service my vehicle under warranty. Leading up to when i had to sell the vehicle on 8/23/2001 i had the right rear wheel bearing replaced at 43,460 miles. The left head gasket changed on 12/28/2001 at 48,817 miles. The airflow meter sensor was recalled on 7/22/2002 with 55,797 miles. The clutch would stick to the floor so i had to have the clutch master cylinder gravity bled on 7/22/2002 as well. The right rear wheel bearing went out again on 8/9/2002 with 57,454. All the above thing were replace and performed under warranty. I personally had to pay to replace the right valve cover gasket, alternator belt, o2 sensor, knock sensor, fuel pump, and exhaust y pipe. I sold the car because the head gasket started to go out again, the clutch need replaced, and the transmission gear oil, and motor oil were both leaking. I expressed my concern to subaru (locally and nationally) and they were unwilling to help with the repair of the head gasket since i did not have the scheduled coolant service performed at subaru. Well i had within a couple miles. Subaru changed the first head gasket at 48,817 miles and it when out again at 82,796 miles a difference of around 33,000 and the service is scheduled for every 30,000 miles. *ak
