Warranty Info

I was listening to a podcast this morning and a caller called in with an issue she was having with her 2005 Subaru Outback. She lives in a city and has to parallel park A LOT, and every time she turns her steering wheel to make an extreme turn, her car makes an incredibly terrible sound - like “squirrels in a blender” as she described it.

Now, I don’t know about you but that sound alone would cause me to avoid any situation with even the slightest chance that I may have to parallel park. I’m still wondering even in this moment if there wasn’t a less disturbing way to describe the sound…I guess it must have been just that bad.

The conclusion was quickly made that the horrific noise was coming from her power steering. It’s an easy enough car repair to have made but it’s important that she goes in to get it fixed as soon as possible. Holding off on getting a repair made could lead to other issues and more fixes ($$$).
