    1116-CV13519 - ROBERT ZUMBRUNNEN V SUBARU OF AMERICA INC ET AL is my lawsuit against SOA and the dealership who dealt with my first engine failure at 1,987 miles. Second engine made it to 9.499 ...

    WARNING! FOUL AND WELL-DESERVED LANGUAGE!!!

    @TalkzillaBob Currently they're stalling the lawsuit by filing for change of venue then getting one continuance so far on that filing, so earliest anything can happen is December, when we'll be told to go to St. Louis or they'll be told the suit stays here. I really wouldn't care except that I'd...

      @nipz2nv They do have a problem with blown turbo seals but it's miniscule compared to the problem they're having with piston ringlands. Tighter EPA emmissions making them run leaner, they tweaked 15 more horses out of it starting in 08, and the pistons are cheap cast units. Hundreds of them hav...

      Actually, wouldn't be surprised if I was about to cry. I factory-ordered that car long before they were shipping, it arrived the day I headed to London for 2 months, I finally got to drive it, fell totally in love, and engine blew up at 1987 miles. Huge warranty fight. This vid is 2nd engine h...

      End result, which will be documented on MySubaruSucksdotCom is it was at dealership for months while they jerked me around, then I had to have it flatbedded home only to find they'd dropped the engine and in many other ways screwed it up far worse, with no warranty love. They declined warranty s...

    2 years later, pump sounds the same. Sounded like that a few years prior, too. I figured it was just a sound the machine made. So far it has yet to make me figure otherwise.

    I can't believe I never thought of the thing of splashing water back at myself. I gotta do that!

      @TIGERCAT660 Depends on your basis for comparison. It has to be flagged "Wide Load" when transported. It's not as big as something used to dig, say, a cross-continental canal, but it's quite a bit bigger than most individuals own for their own projects. That machine, like the Cat 973, is more ...

      @GWR4079 Wait. You're saying I can get the bucket clean this way, too? Actually, it'd be sweet if the bucket could be rotated 90 degrees.

    @TheIceColdAssassin A friend told me she'd said something like that. But not that she didn't log me out and log herself in first. Let the yelling begin. Not only smack-talking strangers like that but doing it in my name.

      I'm with Erik on this one.

    Subaru are Lemons and they Suck

    My 2006 Tribeca B9 is a piece of junk! A LEMON to be exact. They can't fix it and wont take it back - so here is my video!

    TalkzillaBob said:

    I do think that saying SubaruSucks is using too broad a brush. Most of them are great. The 08 STi, though. This is my 4th of their performance flagship and the first one to break. Only it's done it twice and they basically told me to shove it.

    But there are Tribecas and Outbacks in our famil...
