NHTSA Complaint #10735868 — 2006 SUBARU IMPREZA

THE REAR WHEEL BEARINGS EMIT A LOW PITCH NOISE THAT INCREASES IN AMPLITUDE WITH SPEED. THE NOISE HAS BEEN GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE, TO THE POINT WHERE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, IT IS DIFFICULT TO HOLD A CONVERSATION WITH ANYONE SITTING IN THE BACK SEAT. I AM TOLD THERE IS A WHEEL BEARING RECALL FOR A DIFFERENT MODEL SUBARU OF THIS SAME MODEL YEAR, BUT THE SUBARU DEALERSHIP SAYS IT DOES NOT INCLUDE MY VIN. THEY ESTIMATE THE REPAIR AT $850.
