Tl- the contact owns a Subaru Legacy. The contact stated that while driving approximately 25 mph, the cruise control and check engine warning lights illuminated. The vehicle would not accelerate and engaged into limp mode. After further study at a different site it seems that it it normal that the CC light comes on also when the CEL turns on. Cats and emission issues are common for all cars and factory recalls to fix issues is also common.
But, there is usually a mileage limit. Actually, P is frequently caused by a faulty O2 sensor, not a bad cat. But in this case, it sounds like faulty ECM software may be causing the driveability problems and possibly damaged the cat, to boot. What would I do? Have the dealership install new ECM software.
If the pipe is found to be deformed, a new replacement pipe and support bracket must be installed. Campaign code WVF Rear Wheel Bearings may, over time, develop a noise condition that causes the bearing to produce a whining sound.
Coverage will be extended to 8 years or , miles. During a quality review, Subaru discovered that there is a possibility that one or both of an affected vehicle's Rear Wheel Bearings may, over time, develop a noise condition that causes the bearing to produce a whining sound. This sound does not pose a safety issue and does not adversely affect the normal operation of the bearing. However, if the vehicle experiences this condition, it should be corrected by replacing the affected bearing, which will eliminate the sound.
As a result of this finding and in the interest of customer satisfaction, SOA is extending the Rear Wheel Bearing warranty coverage period for the affected vehicles to 8 years 96 months or , miles, whichever occurs first. Technical Service Bulletin number Radio static when the radio and rear window defogger are on at the same time,.
Customer complaint of radio static when the radio and rear window defogger are on at the same time, there is the possibility of a break in one or more of the defogger grids. When the grid is broken, a high resistance field is created at the break point which can create static on some radio stations. The level of resistance is usually high enough to create a field of interference which projects out from the glass.
The break can be detected visually or by using a portable radio. Using a portable radio, set the radio to the same frequency and station being disturbed by static.
When interference is encountered, inspect that specific area closely for a break. The trip computer's ET elapsed time setting works when the ignition key is briefly paused at the 'on' setting and may not work if the key is turned too quickly.
A repair bulletin Subaru radiator coolant is a phosphate, non-anime kind made for aluminum radiators and engines and is the only type that should be used.

As a precautionary measure, SOA is adding a special conditioner to the engine cooling system. This conditioner prevents leaks from occurring and corrects existing leaks. Only early Phase II 2. Phase I 2. Countermeasures applied to the manufacturing process for those and later VINS not affected by this campaign have eliminated the need for this campaign to be performed on those vehicles.
If the vehicle owner has this repair performed promptly, Subaru will extend warranty coverage on cylinder head gasket external coolant leaks to a period of 8 years or , miles, whichever occurs first.
