Figured I'd make a thread for everyone to participate in;

These are the following things that are #$ on my 06 STI with 18,000kms.

Rear diff bushings/ Clunk when shift at high RPMS..(Warranty cover that? put in newer less stressed ones?)
Throttlebody/IC silicon hose slipping off, clamp tore right into it..leaking oil allover throttle body...
Motor mounts - I think i have a broken one, which is probably why my clamp fell off the silicon hose..
Gasoline/oil smell @ WOT... probably have alot to do with the fact the IC hose was off and leaking OIL.
Driver seat squeaks like CRAZY....One dealership sprayed it with a WD-40 type and the car stunk like 3 days, and made my wife, and 3 year old son light headed.. (How much did I pay for this car again...?)

And, in packed snow my steering wheel is about to fall off whenever I turn it..

Worst thing is, I don't even have time to to it to the dealer, and 2nd of all, the fact some mechanic that DOESNT give a ****, is going to be standing over my car, scratching my paint, leaning on my fenders, driving my car to simulate, touching my car, REALLY bugs me..

Rear diff bushings/ Clunk when shift at high RPMS..(Warranty cover that? put in newer less stressed ones?) Get used to this.
Throttlebody/IC silicon hose slipping off, clamp tore right into it..leaking oil allover throttle body... Should be covered.
Motor mounts - I think i have a broken one, which is probably why my clamp fell off the silicon hose.. Should be covered.
Gasoline/oil smell @ WOT... probably have alot to do with the fact the IC hose was off and leaking OIL. Symptomatic of the above, should be fixed by taking care of the above.
Driver seat squeaks like CRAZY....One dealership sprayed it with a WD-40 type and the car stunk like 3 days, and made my wife, and 3 year old son light headed.. What part is squeaking? This is too vague to diagnose.
(How much did I pay for this car again...?) You tell us.

And, in packed snow my steering wheel is about to fall off whenever I turn it.. Again, too vague. Describe the problem as completely as you can.

If you don't like mechanics, ride a bike, man. They're kind of necessary if you don't do your own work. Take it to the dealer and leave it there for a day. Use some frequent flier miles or something a rent a car for a couple of days. Give them the list and tell them you want it fixed. And tell them you'll give them great marks on the Subaru survey if they take care of it all without scratching the paint.

I agree with the boon on this one

Get the TiC clunk killer kit, just installed mine this weekend and it is a night and day difference. Relatively easy to install too.

Sounds like a Friday car. I feel you with the mechanics, they will piss all over your car.

They definitly were mapping the ECU's on a monday while passing a crack pipe around, other than that mines solid.
