zerobanger, don't mind Ike the troll.

Just remember, he is 29 and drives a WRX STi. He also lives in Wisconsin and works in the wine industry.

A lot of things do not make sense about Ike.

Just get over it. Do what you will with the info.
It matters because a service guy at a dealer, your dealer especially, isn't going to tell you how they just deny all claims on something faulty and just blame it on the driver by calling it abuse.

Listen, I never said it happened that way. this is getting old. All I'll say to you is the Subaru Dealer I am talking about denied claims at about 5-6 per month. If you want to believe that they told me directly or I found out from inside information, thats your problem.

If you dont want to believe the information, then dont.

Wow these are all 04 STI's. I did a search and in minutes came up with these. GET OVER IT.

http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/show.../t-478966.html

wow, the NASIOC has a forum on warranty issues and SOA problems. Wow, there are threads about warranties being denied.


http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/show...hreadid=478966

well... my tranny blew and I have a Turbo XS RFL/Ti TBE... is SOA going to try to void my warranty? If they do, how can I fight it. I know that they LEGALLY have to PROVE that the mod caused the problem. Any other "weapons" I should be prepared to use?

Any help is greatly appreciated,
Adam
I DONT KNOW EXACTLY HOW TO GO ABOUT THIS,,,, BUT A FRIEND OF MINE TOLD ME THAT AS A SOA CUST , WE HAVE THE LEGAL RIGHT TO PERSONALLY SPEAK W/ THE SOA INSPECTOR THAT IS GOING TO DECIDE WHETHER OR NOT TO PAY FOR THE WARR CLAIM./ I SET UP AN APPT W/ HIM SO THAT HE CAN HEARME OUT AND HOPEFULLY I CAN TALK MY WAY INTO HAVING MY TRANSMISSION DONE.


MAYBE YOU CAN DO THE SAME

1.) I never said Subaru didn't deny claims.

2.) You found the same thread twice, congrats!

3.) Isn't there someone with a RX-8 that blew his tranny twice? Does that mean the RX-8 tranny is twice as weak?

4.) Find me single car company that will accept powertrain warranty claims on a car that has TBE, MBC, and other mods...

Seems there would be more results if the dealer you are reffering to was getting 5-6 per week... err I mean month.

You are still calling me a liar, well what ever. My point was made.

And no, I dont feel very confident in my rx-8 transmission for drag racing (although better than the scooby tranny). The FD transmission is damn near bullet proof, love that one.

LOL, bring up Judge Ito, thats funny. Launch any STI as hard as Judge ITO launched his rx-8 and the STI aint going anywhere.

BTW, these cars were bone stock that were denied at this dealer.

Can we get past this? Im sure mazda will try to deny Rx-8 claims on broken transmissions too.
