This car has had to many problems subaru should have to repaired or recalled the transmisson and rear bearings I have replaced the wheel bearings 3 times and I have had the car not even a year when I contacted subaru they said they would give me $500 towards a new subaru. That doesnt make up for the $7000 I owe on the car though. And the cost to have a transmisson put in is around $3900 to $4500 this is a problem with every subaru svx some of them have gone through 2 to 3 transmissons in only 20 to 30 thousand miles. Something needs to be done about this problem.

The following letter has been sent to subaru of america.... This letter is sent on the behalf of the many owners that have experienced multiple failures of the 4eat automatic transmission in the subaru svx. It is evident that there is a design flaw in the transmission that causes the premature failures for all model years. These failures have occurred in cars with very low mileage and continued to occur thereafter. Repair and/or replacment of the transmission is very expensive, costing approximately and, as of this date, there has been no support from subaru. Understandably, the owners of these vehicles have become quite angry at subaru's lack of response or acknowledgement that a problem even exists, and have consulted legal counsel regarding a class action lawsuit. To avoid an unpleasant and hostile situation, and in an effort to maintain good relations with the owners of your cars, the following solutions are demanded: 1. Subaru recalls and replaces the transmissions for all model years 2. Extends the transmission warranty to 100,000 miles for all model years unless a written response is received within 30 days, litigation will be instituted. Thank you for your anticipated courtesy and cooperation.

While consumer was traveling about 45mph he heard a loud clunking noise. Pulled over, and noticed wheel bearing was defective.
Subaru is aware of the lack of durability of transmission. They upgraded in later years, they should offer compensation to those they didnot notify of the upgrades.

I have purchased this car through a smaller dealer, I thought that my problems with the car were only because of poor business through dealer, I had to pay out $1,900 for the transmission and $400. For the bearings. I then learned that these are very common problems with this model and year and all svx style cars up until 97's.
