Sadly, if you do not keep up with the maintenance schedule, the manufacturer can void the warranty. Keep going strong in your battle with Subaru. There is a good chance that in the end, they may agree to discount the repair or split the costs with you. @Tere: This is why it is so important to keep those oil change records.

(we did this at the end of june 2011) on a 2003 f150 it had under 100,000 miles It came to us inspected and everything. It had the 3 month warranty (or so many miles) $100 deductable. When we went in to sign papers they told us that it had been in the gararge and gone through front to back and the only problem it had was a rusted break line (which they fixed). So we traded in our fully paid for explorer and thought we would be happy. Well Right when we drove it off the lot we noticed problems. The ABS was acting funny and when it got to a certain speed the wheels would make a horrible sound. So we quickly brought this to their attention. After 3 weeks or so they finally go it in to fix it. Wellll It was crazy. They said they needed to order parts and there were some things that needed fixed not covered on our warranty. They fixed the wheel. The ABS a few other things and said they had to fix the straps on the gas tank because they were so rusted they were about to fall off. And to top all this off they added about 800-900 more to what we owe on the price of the truck (BECAUSE Of THEIR MISTAKES). I know that it was not gone through like they said becasue I think you would have noticed those things. And to top it off we were without transportation for a week and had to rely on others because they had no loaner to provide us with like stated in our warranty. Not to long after that the truck started having the issue of missing when my husband was driving it. It would get a little better when he stepped on the gas. So we brought this to their attention also. and to this day they keep blowing us off...Oh we have nothing open for weeks..And sorry no loaners either.. So then my husband and his friend decided to change the oil and filters the other day. The fuel filter was so rusted it took forever for them to remove it...The same with the oil filter..Those you would thing would be obviouse too. (all of these issues happened while under warranty) And they keep blowing us off hoping we will forget about it This whole thing has been so stressful on us. And this is the 3rd car/truck we have bought from them. We are always on time with payments even early alot of times. We just do not know what to do about this. we do not have the money to do all these repairs ourself. Because we have no idea what is fully wrong with it because they wont get it into the shop. Does anyone know where we go from here? We Are doing a buy here pay here from a ford dealership in muncy PA.

When they said the car was finished the first time they didnt replace the partsthey said they would and the paint job was orrible it had what is considerd fish eyes where the paint had air bubbles in it, so they sent it to be serviced again and this time they replaced the parts and tried to have the paint fixed but made it worse by leaving over spay on the other side of the car and leaving buff marks on the doors.So once again they said they would take care of it so they sent it to another body shop and this time it was ok but in the meantime thats a 6 weeks of not having the car so when i was able to drive the car they never finished fixing it mechanically so another 3 days of service. It stills doesn't ride the same but they say theres nothing wrong.

I just purchased a 2005 Chrysler Pacifica on 7-26-10. 106K miles. I purchased it "as-is" from the dealership, but did receive a 3 mo./4500 limited warranty as part of my purchase from an independent car warranty company. The first day off the lot, my engine light came on. Took it back to the dealer - evap sensor. They volunteered to replace it. I had to call and schedule - not done yet because 5 days later the battery light came on. Through some troubleshooting, my husband is 95% sure it is the altenator and the vehicle stopped alongside the road. This is covered on the warranty. When we purchased the vehicle, the salesman told us that they will handle the warranty repairs..no problem. When I called to get the vehicle towed and fixed, I was told they Dont do the warranty repairs and would need to find another shop to handle it. I have not been able to find a company/shop that will deal with the after market warranty company. Additionally, I took the car in for a front end alignment when I purchased 2 tires. Once up on the rack, the technician called me back and asked if I was told the car had been in an accident. I said 'no'. He told me he could tell there had been body work done and then showed me the underneath of the car where a rod that is part of the wheel attachement has been repaired by a teg (spelling?) weld. His response was this not a situation of "if" it will break, but "when". He said it is highly probable that when it breaks it will puncture the tire. I dont feel safe in this vehicle. I have kids and dont want to have this break while driving with them. It was never disclosed that the vehicle was in an accident. The title I signed does not say 'salvage'. Am I S.O.L or is there a course of action I can take. btw: the "dealership" has become highly uncooperative at this point. Thank you for any information. I live in Ohio.

It was recomended that I purchase a factory EXTENDED warranty. I recently took the bike in for warranty service and was informed that the extended warranty term had expired. The EXTENDED warranty overlapped the factory warranty by 7 months. is this practice legal? the bike requires service now, which should have been covered by the EXTENDED warranty, in the neighborhood of 600.00, and the dealer is unwilling to honor the extended warranty.
