History Of Site Updates This site rose out of the need to have documented in a single place and in a concise, factual format, the growing wave of Subaru of America-denied warranty claims and their reasons, specifically but not exclusively related to the enthusiast-popular Subaru Impreza line (L, LX, RS, TS, OBS, WRX, and WRX-STi). It is here to keep the enthusiast, present owners, and future owners of Subaru vehicles aware of the kinds of roadblocks you may be up against in obtaining warranty coverage for damages/defects in your vehicle. The site is organized based upon major systems of the car (ie: braking, engine, powertrain) to ease the location of information. I would like to extend a warm welcome to the folks at Subaru of America who are reading/watching this website- it is good to see you taking an interest in what your customers have to say about your products and their experiences/problems with them.
