I am still waiting for Subaru to see if they will pay to fix the problem.
Turn ignition to ON, lock an unlock seatbelt 20 times within 30 seconds, turn ignition to OFF.
It will reset any time you disconnect the battery.
Even so, you'd think the rim would bend before a spring broke.
There was a recall on Legacy springs a while ago, they could rust or something like that. See what your dealer says, or call 800-SUBARU3 to report that.
I would expect them to replace it. If the tire and/or rim did not fail, it was likely a bad spring to begin with.
Just like what you said, the dealer told me if I hit a pothole, something should bend, but everything looks fine. I had to wait for 4 days before the factory agreed to
paid for it. They changed the strut (broke too)and spring. I hope it won't happen to the other three. I am very worry. I don't want to listen to the dealer saying that I don't have warranty because my mileage is over 46K.
Thanks for the #, I called and reported my concern to them.
I doubt it would happen a 2nd time.
I've replaced the tires twice so far. The first time was with Yokohama Geolander G052, the second with MasterCraft (Cooper) Courser HTR Plus. I liked the Yokohamas better than the MasterCraft tires, but I think I'll get Bridgestone Dueler Alenza tires next. I have Duelers on my F150 and and I like them a lot.
I'm very upset right now. :mad:
If a crumple zone hits something rigid and connected to a frame (like a tow hitch) it will accordian, in fact it is designed to do that.
Well I recently traded the car in to save tax on the new vehicle (though of course got a low ball trade in price) so I really didn't want to give them the NAV 3.0 update dvd if i didn't have to since i still had the 1.0
well i didn't think of this till after the fact and stupidly mentioned it as if they would give me more for the tradein which they didn't so i realized i should ahve just taken it out.
once i mentioned it they warned that on some vehicles if you put the old nav dvd in after its already been updated with a newer one it can break the whole system and that I would be responsible for the cost of the repair of the nav unit if it did that.
I call BS and they are just trying to get me to lave the 3.0 version nav update so i wanted to check for sure with Tribeca owners to see if we can find out if in fact downgrading to a previous version of the NAV would have any adverse effect on the nav system.
if not, i see no reason to give them the update which I can gladly sell to another Tribeca owner for half the normal price of the NAV 3.0 update dvd and case with both east and west coast discs (then the person could sell whichever cost they dont need if they want)
I haven't tried it, but I expect you'd have no problem selling your Nav 3.0 on ebay. Let us know when it might be available for bidding :shades:
Thanks,
Are the three lights that are out run by a fuse, or is it a coincidence that all three went out at the same time? Thanks.
I am looking to replace my tires soon and it looks like you had some experience with Geolanders. I did some research and my top 3 picks are the Bridgestone Dueler H/L Alenzas, Goodyer Fortera Triple Treads, and Yokohoma Geolanders. Did you notice any change in MPG with Geolanders and how long did they lasted? How does Duelers perform in winter (rain/snow) ? I have 50k mi on my Tribeca and my OEM LS-2's are still at about 4/32... However, I am thinking to replace them this year.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Eli.
I've owned tires rated 140 (gumballs) up to 460 (hard), but 640 is nuts!
For reference/comparison to the 740 rating on the above-mentioned tire, I drove a set of Goodyear Allegras, which I think are great in terms of cost vs. performance (for everyday, year-round driving), 76,000 miles. They have a rating of 680.
My Miata has 140 rated tires. I've been taking it easy, I suppose, but I bet they give me 2 years, tops.
The 740 on the TripleTred is the highest I've seen. One of the other posters on Carspace, ruking1, claims over 100,000 miles on tires he has owned, but I do not know how highly the tires were rated for treadwear. He has a specific method for "breaking in" the tires and takes it pretty easy on them when driving.
I think one major factor for tread longevity is the time over which those miles are accumulated. If you run a set of TripleTreds at 4-5,000 miles a year, you will likely have to replace the tire long before you hit 80,000 miles. There might be tread on it, but the rubber compound is likely going to be so aged that performance is severely diminished, as well as sidewall integrity.
I have a set of tires on my '69 Chevy that were installed in July 1997. I have about 40,000 miles on them, and they have tread left, but they really need to be replaced.
But the treadwear warranty says they stand behind it.
That's right - you can only compare treadwear ratings within the manufacturer. A 440 rated Michelin is not equal to a 440 rated Goodyear.
