Man I haven't heard anything from Subaru yet. They received all of the information exactly 1 week ago.
Anybody know how long this typically takes? |

Correct. Mine is a 2015. They revised it to 6,000 miles at some point between yours and mine.

I'm awful at keeping receipts, do you guys think Subaru would deny my warranty if I showed them pictures I took of my receipts?
Keeping lose documents in my house is a downfall of mine, but my computer's files are organized super hard.

Pictures are fine as long as it is clear what they are for. Sate stamped pictures of the receipts taken beside the current mileage on the odometer would remove most arguments.

Dealership just called me back. New short block covered under warranty! I cannot believe they're going to cover it given the crummy maintenance records I have.
I can't put into words the relief I'm feeling right now given how upsidedown I am on the car. It ended up taking about 5 business days for Subaru to approve the work and they expect to have the car running early next week. Last edited by demasrv; 01-23-2017 at 11:55 PM. |

Once the job is done, see if they will tell you why the engine failed at 53K miles.

I do think it's interesting they replaced it with my vague proof of maintenance. I've only found one other example of one online with more than 50k miles on it and a major engine failure--everyone else so far seems to be under 25k with more examples happening in that 20-25k range. Subaru/Toytao has to have acknowledged some kind of defect internally. Last edited by demasrv; 01-23-2017 at 11:57 PM. |
