At first noisy clutch, day later crunch, crunch and it became difficult to shift. The dealer diagnosed the problem to a broken prong of diaphragm spring (pressure plate) and defective bearing. All of this at about 65k miles. This is way to premature, especially to pay $1,500+ for repairs. I guess "dogs did not test nor approved this one".
TV commercials claim Subaru's over 10 years longevity. I guess if one drives it once a week to church on Sunday! I'd hate to be the one to test the crash commercial when they claim "I walked away from that one".
Update from Feb 27, 2015: The car has been over 20 days at the dealer, but they can not locate some parts to finish the repair! My suggestion is to retrain those dogs to sniff out car parts.
