What owners wrote
Loud clunking and vibration when driving over bumps when turning at low speeds. It is most pronounced during left turns but also does it when turning right. Dealer rep says he could not hear it. We will schedule another appointment and will make sure dealer rep is not deaf.
Both rear wheel bearings have failed prematurely, one at 38000 miles and again at 75000 miles and the second at 79000 miles. This is a well known defect in this year subaru, and is potentially dangerous if not immediately taken care of.
