SUBARU BAJA 2005 car safety problem was reported on July 01, 2005.SUBARU BAJA 2005, manufactured by SUBARU OF AMERICA, INC. had a problem with STRUCTURE . i do have ongoing problems with my brand new subaru baja turbo 2005. sometimes when i drive in the freeway, i hear windy noise does at 70 mph in cold temperatures. i called subaru of america for a possible fix for this issue. i took my car to the t.o subaru dealer to correct the problem however they denied me the warranty because they couldn't duplicate the windy noise when the mechanic drove the car with his service manager. following after the denial i made an appointment with the mechanic for a test drive, drove the car and showed the noise that i heard and he agreed there is an existing noise, after i drove the vehicle he first mentioned as solution to buy wind reflector, later when i mentioned to the mechanic about the warranty he didn't say anything. until we arrive back to the dealer he mentioned to me that there was a lady in another subaru with the same problem as mine and he will look on the records what he did at that time to fix the lady's car. i called subaru of america and spoke with mr. shumaker to help me to resolve this issue, he created case # 783649 later on i got noticed the t. o. subaru dealer denied the warranty by the service manager; taking a position as he was the one that diagnostic the problem. that i was told by mr kevin shumaker,i was so irritated due to the fact his mechanic promised me for a fix instead his manager denied the fix. i just want this windy noise problem be fix once for all proof that subaru of america aware of this windy noise offering a catalog where they offer wind reflector. i may file law suit for misrepresentation and dishonesty to honor warranty in regards with this ongoing issue i have, i asking you department to follow an investigation in the way this dealership works in regards with warranty issues and instead of provided it they try to sell extra equipment subaru of america doesn't accept my claim because it needs to be verify by a subaru dealer and i'm still stuck with this windy noise on my car. thank you. *jb .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):4S4BT63C755.

SUBARU BAJA 2005 car safety problem was reported on Feb 10, 2005.SUBARU BAJA 2005, manufactured by SUBARU OF AMERICA, INC. had a problem with STEERING:LINKAGES . this is regarding a 2005 subaru baja turbo, vin #:[xxx]. in service date is 6/9/04. please know that this vehicle was purchased brand new. in february, 2005 the problem first manifested itself. this is a steering concern. on making a hard right or left hand turn as well as a k turn, the steering column and/or wheel lets a very loud squeal. this sounds like a stuck pig!! when this happens the steering becomes very hard to maneuver almost as though it went back to unassisted steering. after the turn is completed the steering returns to normal. this problem has been brought to the attention of the local dealer on at least five occasions. the last time he kept the vehicle for a day and a half and gave me a loaner. because it didn't "squeal" for them they say they have no way to make a diagnosis and/or repair. for a vehicle that was purchased brand new i find this situation unacceptable. i am fearful the steering could go out at any moment when driving on a highway, or anywhere for that matter, and could cause a accident for myself or other motorists. the subaru corporation has offered nothing in the way of solutions.*jb update 07/18/2012 *js information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 5000 miles.

I notice if I quickly accelerate/go into overdrive - front of car will hum. Do I need to have something checked out?
Thank you!

2004 forester xt, strong gas smell in the cold weather when the heat is on. They won't fix it because they "can't find it" at my dealership. Do I need a new fuel line or is there an easier fix?

Thank you for these, can find a decent review now.

My 1998 subaru forester stutters/hiccups/bucks (whatever you call it) when going uphill, and when accelerating on a straight path, can it be the transmission?

I HAVE A SUBARU FORESTER 2000 TAIL LIGHT/PLATE LIGHT/'FRONT SIGNAL LIGHT STAYS ON.ONCE FUSE IS REMOVED LIGHT GOES OUT.WHAT COULD THE PROBLEM BE?

I own a 2008 Subaru impreza, till last week i was fine, but now it is having some problem i.e it is making whining sound from  steering pump, will i have to replace the steering pump and hoe much will it cost.

Standard on all Impreza models are anti lock disc brakes, stability control, front seat side airbags, side curtain airbags and active front head restraints to help mitigate crash-induced whiplash

2006 Subaru outback died. Will not tke a boost. With battery cable connected there is an error code in the odometer. Does anybody know what this can be?

2007 Forester bangs into gear-been doing this mainly in cold weather but now all the time. Dealer always says not problem-it has to "warm up" and doesnt want ot deal with it.

My 2002 Impreza Outback Sport's check engine light comes on when I'm going downhill, not all the time.  Also (not all the time), if I don't downshift when coming to a stop, the car dies, not stalls, dies.  It starts right back up.  The engine l

i just wrecked my 04 wrx front impact and no air bag and seat belt locked after the impact...how do i contact some one to have this investigated?
