QUOTE
If you purchased or leased in the continental United States of America and Hawaii a 2002-2007
Model Year Subaru vehicle, you are a member of a proposed Settlement Class and may be
entitled to an extension of your vehicle's warranties, an extension of your lease contract or a cash
refund.

l. THE LITIGATION: On March 22, 2007, Peter A. Vasilas, Scott Diamond and Robert
Kasindorf filed this suit against SOA and SAL, in the United States District Court for the
Southern District of New York, complaining that the odometers in their Subaru vehicles
overstated the mileage of the vehicle. They also alleged that SOA had breached the warranty
and violated the Federal Odometer Act. Plaintiffs brought the suit on behalf of all owners and
lessees of Subaru vehicles sold or leased in the United States from March 22, 2002 to the
present. On July 20, 2008, Plaintiffs amended their complaint to include SIA and FHI, the
manufacturer and assembler of the vehicles. Plaintiffs alleged that these companies had also
violated the Federal Odometer Act.

A Federal Court authorized this Notice. This is not a solicitation from a lawyer.
If the Court approves the proposed Settlement, Subaru of America, Inc. ("SOA") will extend by
5% the mileage-based coverage periods of certain warranties, extend annual mileage allowed by
vehicles leased from Subaru Auto Leasing, Ltd. ("SAL") by 5%, and reimburse certain repairs
and excess mileage charges, as detailed below. All persons and entities who agree to accept these
benefits will release SOA, the other defendants and others from claims in connection with the
odometers in the subject vehicles
I did not know that my Subaru cheated me on the odometer. But I do admit I often felt I got too quickly to 78,000 miles (currently) driving just a 20 mile round trip to and from work.

I have 78,000 miles right now.
5 years x 20 miles per day x 360 days per year = 36,000 miles
Now that I think of it, I did not drive another 36,000 miles in leisure and aimless driving. 15-20 thousand miles I believe it. But not 36,000.

And while I am past my warranty I have to read it carefully and see if I qualify for some monetary reimbursement.

Odometer (aka Kilometraj) probabil este acelasi pe toate modelele, indiferent de tara unde a fost vindut. Si probabil de vina nu este afisajul ci electronica care determina distantele.

Deci, sa inteleg ca Subaru a ”mânărit” kilometrajele masinilor pentru a reduce perioada/ intervalul de acordare a garantiei.

Nu este imposibil si nu cunosc sistemul de garantii din SUA.

In Europa insa, ar trebui sa ”mânărească” ceasurile atat timp cat garantia este de 3 ani fără limită de km.

E drept ca, aproape sigur, garantia acordata in SUA difera pe ici pe colo (in punctele esentiale) de cea acordata pe-aici...

Eu unu am verificat cu GPS-ul si diferentele sunt cam de 100 m la 11 km in plus pe ceasul masinii, deci nerelevant. O sa vad si pe distante mai mari. Oricum limita de km nu exista la noi asa ca probabil de asta merge bine kilometrajul.

Poate in State si-au pus roti mai mici si pe urma le-au schimbat cu alea originale. teehee.gif

In cazul acesta trebuie reconsiderat si consumul de combustibil, dupa calculele Subaru cu 5%, dupa calculele facute de cel din primul post cu ~30%.

Ce-mi place thumbsup.gif ciondaneala asta avocateasca smile.gif Astia dau in judecata orice turned.gif
Oricum, ciudat!
Banuiesc ca se va face o expertiza tehnica a masinii si se va demonstra daca e adevarat. Asta ar fi singura varianta, parerea mea,, si nu parerea celui care da in judecata. Totusi ~16-18k mile la 78k smile.gif cam mult, zic eu.
Desi a mea e pt piata europeana, kilometrajul meu "fura" distanta mult sub 1% (verificat pe GPS), deci iau "de bun" ce indica afisajul. Viteza o "fura" binisor (cam 8% la peste 100km/h).

Tocmai am facut un drum de 80 km cu GPS-ul in paralel, eroare de aproximativ 200 m. Asa ca astea de pe la noi nu fura. Ma rog, a mea e din 2008, or fi corectat problema dry.gif . Lasand gluma la o parte eu am o oarecare urma de indoiala cand un astfel de scandal porneste in State. Nu pot sa uit ce imi povestea un prieten de-al meu care sta in Baltimore cum avea un vecin la un moment dat care traia din chestii de genu: aruncat ketchup pe jos in market, alunecat pe el, dat in judecata supermarketu, castigat.

Totusi, F1anatic, verifica si tu cu GPS-ul si vezi ce da. Sunt chiar curios.

Garantia e vax albina atunci ca platesti un ambreiaj sa fie schimbat si primesti la schimb un semering bulit si cand aflii ca in cutie erau doar 3 litrii de ulei,nu 3,5 dar n-au avut la service,cand nu primesti alta masina "sa-ti faci treaba" pentru ca dureaza 3 saptamani pana ajunge semeringul,si tu verifici in in fiecare zi si completezi cu ulei,pentru ca deh,ti-au dat plata la termen!Ce sa ma zic de un mizilic de senzor pe care il astept de 2 luni?Am 87k km si mai am 13k pana la sfarsitul garantiei.Nici macar nu-mi mai pasa de garantia lor de rahat.O sa-mi schim eu uleiul la motor,si la cutie,si la diferential,o sa fac si distributia si ma rog,tot ce implica cresterea numarului de km...si pot sa-mi comand si eu 5 litrii de ulei si oricum platesc mai putina manopera,la mecanicul meu.exista si riscuri,bineinteles,dar asta e...
