Anyone know if this is possibly related or should I make a new thread?
I brought my car to the dealership for the 45k mile service a couple weeks ago and mentioned the squeaky pedal and judder when letting out the clutch after starting. They said it'd be a few hundred dollars just to open up the car to determine the cause and only then see if it's covered under powertrain warranty.... if it's NOT and it's what they think it is, replacing the clutch, they say it would cost me $1,700. rip off or should one of these TSB be covering me?
Thanks

I can't answer your question, but I'm getting kind of sick and tired of Subaru/Toyota customer service on these cars.
I've taken mine to the dealership a couple times with some specific issues for them to look into for me and they refuse to even start the car up and listen to it or drive it around the block. "No CEL, no issue" they say. I know for a fact that's bullshit.
I'd gladly offer them to hold on to my car for a week if they needed to, to figure it out or catch it acting up.
I'm sure they cover more than they deny but it's still frustrating to see so many people denied, ignored, or helped entirely too late as is the case with the TSB.
