My 2014 Subaru Outback has 110,000 miles. I started hearing this whoop whoop Whooping sound upon deceleration and acceleration. Sounds like left front.
I had just put new brakes and Rotors on all four at Subaru dealer. Then put new tires and wheels at Costco. After that heard the noise.
Tire place said not a tire issue. Took back to dealership; replaced 2 bad wheel bearings; right front and left rear. Then dealership said Oops that didn’t fix issue. It is the transmission. $8400. I’m out of warranty! Subaru wants to give me $2000 towards transmission repair. How do I know Subaru won’t say oops again? I don’t have $8400 to fix. I don’t know what to do Scotty.
Does that sound seem like a transmission? It seems to drive OK, no shifting irregularities.
any advise would help greatly. Love your channel!
Is the transmission exhibiting any symptoms such as slipping or shuddering? Is the sound localized (front, rear, right, left)? Can you make a video with the sound and post a link to it?
The fact that the noise started after the car was serviced is suspicious. I would get a second opinion from a good independent mechanic - not a stealership, not a chain shop.
Well certainly could be they have weak transmissions. But rather than say whoops I would say give me all my money back I spent with you fixing it and I'll go somewhere else. You're only other cheaper alternative would be to put a used transmission in or try and aftermarket transmission repair shop to see if they can fix it by fixing the bad bearings inside the transmission
