My Sabaru Legacy diesel clutch has failed at 10,000 miles , the car is one and half years old .I live in the Isle of Skye and driving on the island and due to the hilly aspect requires more gear changes etc . IS this a common failure? , I do not use the car to tow anything .MY previous car were sabaru Legacy ( petrol ) and a Forester which I ran for 9 years without a failure . I am 70 + years old . Please let me have your comment , am i expecting to much from the car? Thanks for your assistance Bill Egerton

Hello and Welcome to justanswer...I truly sympathise with you - especially if all you are getting from the dealer is, "its driver issue / fault "- as we so often hear !Its not a common fault with that make / model no - you have suffered a premature failure - and if you dont tow - and dont drive slipping the clutch so that it has burned out due to "driving technique" - ( another phrase we hear ).... then it is premature failure of the clutch mechanism.Im afraid it will have to be stripped - and the chances are they will try to say the above ( if they haven't already - )... but you will have to stand your ground - and disagree. Too - at that point, you will need to insist that the contact Subaru Uk direct -so that they send someone to check / assess the clutch / faults - and go from there.They wont offer to do the above - you will have to insist - but that is the best way to get recompense for this situation... again - we have this complaint very often - with all makes of vehicle - and with new-ish cars with low mileage - 8-9 times out of 10 , its proven to be faulty materials causing premature failure - so its worth standing your ground as above.
Im very pleased to have helped you - Let me know if I can help anymore...
