2011 Subaru Legacy - Chronic Misfire Problems since May 2015 If you are a frequent visitor to DealerRater.com you may have seen several posts from me regarding my ongoing 8 month Curry Subaru experience regardin If you are a frequent visitor to DealerRater.com you may have seen several posts from me regarding my ongoing 8 month Curry Subaru experience regarding the chronic, recurring misfire/power loss my Certified Preowned Legacy has experienced, since I signed the papers back in May 2015. At that time the car had only 11K miles on it. Last time I was there the GM, John Caputo, said the Service Manager, Doug Wood, was confident service pinpointed the problem had fixed it once and for all. Well as of this writing my car is in the shop again with the same problem and the service staff is still stumped and unable to diagnose the root cause of the problem. It has been a series of trial and failure for Curry service which appears to lack the expertise to deal with this issue. The longest problem free run with this car was about 3 straight months out of the 8 that I've owned it. This time the service department said they found a problem with the ABS system but when asked what that had to do with the chronic misfire/power loss issues I have been experiencing since May they could not give me an answer. So they are driving my car around hoping the problem happens when a technician is driven the car. We all know at never happens. Curry did dig up a few cars for me to look at but the majority required out of pocket expense up to 3K. I already put down 2K on the crippled Legacy. No way am I committing additional capital or increasing my monthly payments or duration of the financing period. 2 other replacement vehicles were shown to me on Tuesday12/1/15. One color was horrible, caramel bronze; the other was white with ivory interior. White on white doesn't work for me. Just to show that I was not unwilling to meet them halfway I asked my salesman, Stephen Balbour, to tell me what my monthly payments would be on the white legacy. He said he couldn't because it was in the hands of Sam Graffeo, Used Car Mgr. and John Caputo, the G.M., who were conveniently out to lunch when I arrived. Now wouldn't you expect these guys to at least be there and show face to an unhappy customer that has been experiencing nothing but trouble with one of their highly touted CPO Legacy’s for 5 out of the 8 months I had the car. So that day I wasted my vacation time from work, my wife's time from her daily activities and to boot my car was not ready. I have made it known to everyone I have spoken to at the dealership that I fear for mine and my wife’s safety in the car given that it has stalled out and died in traffic at least 4 times since May 2015. My wife refuses to travel in the vehicle for any non-local or interstate distance. The Hyundai Elantra they gave me as a courtesy car has no floor mats, smells like someone smoked in the car, the windows were filthy inside and out and the low tire pressure dash indicator light is on. If my patience were placed on a scale of 1-10 with 10 being most patience I am at a 2. I have been accommodating and respectful but Curry doesn’t appear to be trying hard enough, and there is no communication to make me feel warm and fuzzy from senior management. Most I got was we are working on a solution. They talk the talk but now it is time to walk the walk. I may have to seek other means of remuneration other than waiting for Curry to swap me out of this problem plagued car and into a reliable Legacy of comparable color, mileage, payments/loan duration, same options/standard and optional etc. etc. with no out of pocket or down payment required. I will gradually lower my rating for this dealership until I have been forced to seek a resolution outside of the dealership. The only person I feel has been 100% and no B.S. has been James Papa, Asst. Svc. Mgr. More

Subaru Staff Is the Basis of a Successful Business Our salesman Gabriel Kourie was most knowledgeable in answering our questions about our Legacy purchase. His courteous manner sealed the deal for us. Our salesman Gabriel Kourie was most knowledgeable in answering our questions about our Legacy purchase. His courteous manner sealed the deal for us.. My wife and I visit him whenever we have a Subaru question and he is always gracious in taking time to help us get the answers. Subaru Management take note:: Mr Kourie is a keeper. In the Service Area we especially like Nancy Fiduica-Barone for her friendliness, her knowledge and her ability to know what servicing we need before we ourselves do. You have another keeper in her norsknerd More

I purchased a brand new Subaru Legacy, fully loaded, 2011, on the last date of November 2010. In August the radio crashed, causing me to lose blue tooth phone sound and navigation sound. However, navi 2011, on the last date of November 2010. In August the radio crashed, causing me to lose blue tooth phone sound and navigation sound. However, navigation still worked visually. After three trips there finally on the third trip they installed a new radio, and in the process destroyed the navigation system due to incompetence. And also broke the front passenger seat so it will not glide back. Completely incompetent. And didn't check to see if everything was working. When I returned later that night the sales people were there (service was closed). The sales people are really nice but there was nothing they could do. Changing the map CD's did not work, the system refused to believe I was not in Washington DC (when I am in NY). Again, before they replaced the new radio the navigation system was not broken. When the system first crashed I explained a particular hardship right now in not having bluetooth and asked for a loaner and they refused. Also, after the installed the new radio they did not have the consideration to offer to help me re-set my cell phones and also contact XM to re connect to my radio subscription. I had to ask. I could have lived with that, but not their breaking my navigation and front passenger seat while installing a radio!!!!!! I am not in a position to make a fourth trip there due to medical issues. So I may be stuck. The salespeople will try to resolve this, but what can they do when you have an irresponsible and incompetent service department to deal with. More
total rip-off place. each time I have brought my subaru to curry for a routine dealer matter, they tell me they have noticed an additional and dire repair that must be done. today I literally drove straigh to curry for a routine dealer matter, they tell me they have noticed an additional and dire repair that must be done. today I literally drove straight from curry to my usual car repair for a 2nd opinion. what a contrast. at curry, they kept my car for 6 hrs, charged me $107 for a diagnosis although they said they could not fix my original problem, but told me I had newly discovered massive oil and antifreeze leaking into my engine pan and needed new gaskets asap. "your car is flooded with oil and antifreeze" were the exact words. the curry front desk woman was also very rude. so--I drove straight from curry to corsi tire in ossining for a 2nd opinion, where they said the oil leak was negligible, no antifreeze leak at all, just a little normal air conditioner condensation, and just keep an eye on whether a problem is truly developing when you change the oil, also explaining to me just how expensive the unneeded gasket repair would be--"yeah maybe it will eventually develop into a true gasket replacement, but it's nowhere near needing that at this time." plus corsi literally diagnosed my car the moment I handed in my keys. wait time 15 minutes, and free. curry is just an operation designed to shovel as many cars thru as they can and make money off of each one. plus this is far from my first bad experience there. won't be going back. beware.
