2 rear hub bearings replaced at 112,600 miles June 4, 2018 costing $1251. 8 months/14,900 miles later, the right rear hub bearing needed replacement but covered under 1 yr warranty. Jan 15, 2020/30,000 miles since replacement the left rear hub is failing and making humming noise. Will not be covered and replacement cost estimated at $500. Called Subaru Corporate and they will not stand by their product. Both replacement hub bearings were Subaru parts and both failed under 30,000 miles. Subaru blamed mechanic since I did not have the work done at their shop. Subaru cars are built like junk.
