Not sure if we are happy
by akrainbird on Fri Apr 29 23:19:13 PDT 2005
Until recently, overall we have been mostly happy with our 2002 Atzek AWD. Now I begin to wonder....For the past 6-12 months we have been on our only GM dealer about the whinning/growling noise in slow speed turns. Of course they can never see/hear or find anything but I noticed lots of comments about this noise and the right front hub and wheel bearing! To top matters off, at just over three years old and not quite 16,000 miles we are having to also replace the tires (according to our dealer due to normal wear!). Naturally the warranty has expired. It was fun and yes a different looking car, especially for quite a time when it was the only one in town. The lack of support from GM and their only dealer within 200 miles, plus the lack of long term quality of this vehicle and components , makes me doubt that I will even go with a GM product again.

there are four Subaru dealers in Alaska, one each in Fairbanks, Juneau, Anchorage, and Ketchikan. And if you ever want to see the TRUE home of Subes in the United States, you can forget Vermont. Head to Alaska. It is unbelievable how many of them are on the roads up there. Forget Ford, just on its own merits, Legacy could afford to be bigger - it needs more shoulder and leg room in the back. "B9 Legacy" should be their next project. But first they should hurry that next-gen Impreza to market. Forget more new faces, get the revised model out there. Six years is too long.
Subarus Rule OK

Just got back from a one week cruise from Vancouver to Alaska (Celebrity on the MV Mercury - highly recommended) and we visited Ketchikan, Juneau and Sitka. My wife and I could not help noticing, during our 6 hour walkabout in Juneau, the very large number of Subarus. After a while we started counting but then lost count at about 36 or so after a visit to the Red Dog Saloon at lunch time. It seems that one can stand on any street corner in any part of town and see 3 or 4 Subes just parked or driving by. Or one can glance into some little parking lot and see 4 Subes and about 12 other cars. It looked as if 1 in every 5 or 6 cars were Subes! We were astonished. Mostly Legacys and Outbacks, with a sprinkling of Foresters. Juneau has hills but there are no roads to anywhere else. Sitka and Ketchikan did not have anything like the same proportion of Subes.

Excellent job of espressing your thoughts in a manner that would have worked with most people. Unfortunately, he missed the point. Once, while on a business trip in Alaska, I wandered into a local tavern. I could tell I was overdressed and I kept my mouth shut, my head low, and didn't stay long. On the wall was a chalkboard. On one side it said 86'd for a year. There were probably a dozen names along with dates. On the other side it said...86'd FOREVER. There were four or five names there. As I left, a fistfight was taking place in the parking lot! Ketchikan, Alaska isn't a good place to start trouble!
First (hopefully not major) problem...

This happened yesterday when I was trying to leave work. I inserted my key into the ingition, and it wouldnt turn. I tried both sides, still no luck... wiggled it a bit, hit the lock, etc. No luck... so I'm starting to get worried that I will have to call Roadside Assistance, but finally they key turns! But that's not the end of it... I turn the key back off and try again, turns fine... power is being provided to everything... but the starter motor wont turn! I'm very sure I have the clutch pedal ALL the way to the floor, but nothing. I call Roadside Assistance, as well as my dad so he can bring out my spare key to try. The guy at Ford prepared the ticket, then just told me to call back once I had tried both keys. My dad arrived with my other key, and of course it didnt work either. Both sides of each key, nada :( I call roadside assistance back to get me a towtruck. They FINALLY found one after about half an hour. I live in Ketchikan, Alaska which is on an island, and there are no roads to any other towns, so I thought it was kind of funny when they were asking me where the nearest other town was. In any case, the lady was very nice, and finally located a towing company (which I could have called myself a lot quicker, but I wanted Ford to deal with it so they could pay for it). But they wouldnt take a P.O. number or credit card from Ford, so I had to call them myself anyway. They dispatch a towtruck. While I am waiting for the truck, I decide to look under the dash. I discovered a white pushbutton switch that is supposed to be depressed by the clutch pedal before the engine will start. I decide to try pushing this in by hand (with the car in neutral), turn the key, and the car starts! YES!! The tow truck did show up, and I had to pay him a $15 show up fee, which didnt really bother me since my car wasnt really dead. So to make a long story short (too late!), it seems the clutch lever isnt pushing all the way in on this button. Seems sort of wierd, because I was jiggling both the button assembly and the pedal, and there really isnt any give in either, so I dont see how it could have been knocked out of alignment either when I was driving to work or it was sitting at the parking lot. I have to now push the button by hand to start the car, so I'm going to take my Z into the Ford dealership here on Monday morning (hopefully), to see if they can fix it. It seems to me that it should be a simple fix, so hopefully it wont be too long, and if need be they can give me a loaner for the day while they fix it. Anyone here have any ideas on what could have happened or how I could fix this myself?
