Took my car in for tires and along with bad wheel bearing, I was told by the mechanic that the front subframe was almost rotted out. As I live in a cold snowy area and I often drive my grandchildren around in this vehicle, I'd like to know what is being done about this? I see that there are other owners of the same model, year, make that have similar complaint. I am also very upset that I was sold this car in 01/12 and was not informed of the front control arm recall. 5 months after I bought this car, I had to have this replaced. It was in the shop for 2 days, the parts had to be ordered from a Subaru dealer, why was I not informed of this problem at that time either?.

: the contact stated while depressing the brake pedal on bumpy roads, there was a longer stopping distance. This occurred on two other occasions and the dealer replaced the rear wheel bearings. The vehicle was driven to the dealer a third time, who determined the rear wheel bearings needed to be replaced again. Updated 10/17/2006 - the rear wheel bearing was replaced twice.

Right rear wheel bearing replaced 63948, 67346, 84427 miles. Had to go on the internet to find out that it is a common problem. Shortly after buying the car (new) the engine started making a noise like something rattling inside of it. I took it to the dealer and they said it was a common problem and they would do nothing about it. They would have to take the engine apart, and since the problem wasn't dangerous, they wouldn't fix it. Very, very disappointed in Subaru customer service.

My 99 Subaru Impreza rs's rear wheel bearings are starting to fail. I've been doing some research and find that this is a common problem with Subaru's. There is an obvious defect with the bearing because so many people are experiencing problems. I also found that there is a new procedure for repairing the wheel bearing, which would indicate Subaru's knowledge of the defective part.
