Theresa May today had one message she really wanted to get across in her keynote conference speech: a change is going to come.
The Prime Minister used the phrase, or a variation of it, eight times in her address to the party faithful in Birmingham.
And in case the message wasn't quite clear, the Sam Cooke song 'A Change Is Gonna Come' blared out into the hall minutes before she took to the stage.

2002 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP ProblemsIntake Manifold Gasket May Leak Coolant or Engine Oil
The intake manifold gasket may develop and external engine oil or coolant leak. In some cases, an internal coolant leak may occur causing coolant to mix with the engine oil. Running the engine with a coolant/oil mix may result in engine damage. Replacing the intake manifold gasket should correct this issue.
The mass air flow or crankshaft position sensor may fail causing the engine to intermittently stall. It may be necessary for the engine to cool down before it will restart.

Dikwena move up to second in the Absa Premiership with deserved win at the Royal Bafokeng Sports Palace
Platinum Stars have secured a 2-1 victory over BidVest Wits at a wet Royal Bafokeng Sports Palace on Saturday to move into second in the Absa Premiership.
The victory came courtesy of two goals from midfielder Enocent Mkhabela and was more than the home side deserved as they hit the crossbar in the second half too. It was a club record fifth-successive league win.
Wits never quite got going in the game, but did draw level through Letsie Koapeng soon after falling behind the first time.
The home side were ahead when Henrico Botes played the ball into the patch of Mkhabela, and the midfielder struck the ball home from the edge of the area, even if he did not quite catch the shot as he might have hoped.
The lead lasted just two minutes though as the visitors struck back. Mzikayise Mashaba's inviting cross was headed home by Koapeng, with Siyabonga Mpontshane in the home goal getting a touch to it, but could not keep the effort out.
Botes and Benson Mhlongo headed wide from set-pieces, while Tintswalo Tshabalala saw his shot on the turn well saved by Wits goalkeeper Steven Hoffman as the home side made most of the running.
Calvin Kadi shot narrowly over for Wits on the hour-mark, while at the other end Thuso Phala's brilliant strike from the edge of the area curled just wide.
Stars did get the goal their play deserved on 68 minutes though when Mashaba fouled Sibusiso Msomi for a free-kick on the right. Vuyo Mere's free-kick delivery was flicked-on by Botes and Mkhabela was on hand to head home.
Phala hit the crossbar with a free-kick that deceived Hoffman in the air and crashed against the crossbar, saving the goalkeeper's blushes.

The Embodied Mind and the Origins of Human Culture
Mark B. Turner
Case Western Reserve University - Department of Cognitive Science
June 23, 2011
COGNITION AND CULTURE: AN INTERDISCIPLINARY DIALOGUE, pp. 13-27, Ana Margarida Abrantes, Peter Hanenberg, eds., Frankfurt & Berlin, 2011
The notion of the transcendent disembodied mind has almost disappeared from contemporary cognitive science. But research on the embodied mind faces a central problem: presumably, all mammals have embodied minds, but only cognitively modern human beings have robust culture. An embodied mind is evidently insufficient: A community of embodied minds need not have robust culture. In fact, almost no communities of embodied minds have anything approaching robust culture. How then do we explain the origins and development of culture? Pointing to embodied minds does not point us to an answer. Nor can we look to other species for clues to the origin and nature of culture, given that there are no good animal models for human culture. This article explores an example of rapid cultural innovation during the last many decades, one that is now powerfully influential world-wide. It proposes an explanation for the origin of human culture.

Originally published April 29, 2013.
Bruce Herman, the man who writes the text for more or less every trading card printed and sold by Topps, lives in Blacksburg, Va. with his wife, children, massive record collection (very heavy on pop-punk) and massive dossiers of quotes from and factoids about the various players he's paid to write about. For a while, I edited what he wrote when I worked at Topps; for a longer while, I wrote those cards myself—mostly basketball, some baseball, and the occasional card for Susan B. Anthony or an astronaut for one of Topps' historic sets—for him as an independent contractor.
As much as I enjoyed writing the cards I wrote—I almost got the words "a screaming comes across the sky" onto the back of a Renaldo Balkman card, and generally enjoyed the opportunity to spend what was either just enough or actually too much time reading up on random NBA players—I was never nearly as good at it as Bruce. I was never less than in awe of his work. He had long ago shed the Master Prosesmith vanity that led me to write too many/too much about, like, Speedy Claxton and then grump over the self-edits I needed to make to get my card-backs down to character count; he swapped my flopsweaty adjectives for something smoother and more economical and more reliably on-point. Where I might fuss over finding the right 200-character sentence for a Shaquille O'Neal card—Just one sentence to describe Shaq? Why must "Fu-Schnickens" contain so many letters!—Bruce just reached back into his dossier and pulled up a quote from Jason Collins. This would have been on Shaq's Topps card around the middle of the last decade. Playing against Shaq, Collins said, "feels like you're lifting weights." And then Bruce was on to the next card, after writing what was both the perfect card-back for Shaq and, in recent retrospect, also the perfect card for Jason Collins.
Collins, by that point, was not necessarily getting a Topps card of his own. He was a vital player for a pair of doomed New Jersey Nets NBA Finals teams in 2001 and '02, but not every player gets a Topps card, and there were always players whose promise or stats or reputation or even just knack for getting photographed doing interesting things elevated them over Collins. There are a great many pictures of Collins boxing out. There are some photos of him setting picks, or sweating gape-mouthed at the foul line. There is only so much demand for those cards, though, especially when the back of the card is full of Collins-esque stats. That what made Collins a valuable player on good teams—and what has kept him in the league as he has made his descent from that not terribly commanding peak—never had anything to do with measurable statistics doesn't mean that his basketball card can be printed without them. Every player gets quantified the same way, and the words that might explain where that quantification falls short or is unrepresentative are only expended on players about which kids or collectors or fans might want to read.
And so, in Collins' case, they mostly haven't been. Excepting some cards featuring swatches of his game-worn shorts and jerseys, Collins hasn't had a card of his own since Fleer made one for him in 2007-08. Anyway, after Collins came out as gay in a cover story for Sports Illustrated co-written with Franz Lidz, his statistics seem to matter even less than ever, and the cardboard collectibles with pictures of his weary self on the front and a litany of his workmanlike numbers on the back are no longer the things about his 12-year career that seem likeliest to endure. At this point, it's mostly about the line that Bruce caught, the part about "lifting weights."
In his coming-out piece, Collins writes with eloquence and good humor on his identity and his decision to reveal it while he's still employed in the NBA. He is, if you hadn't noticed, still working in the NBA—the 34-year-old split last season between the Celtics and Wizards, and is a free agent. He has been an itinerant backup for the last half-decade, and may or may not have gotten a job next season as a seven-foot practice pylon, pick-setter and strategic foul-giver before he wrote what he wrote. Whether it will or won't help or hurt him get a job next season is a question that's less Embrace Debate fatuous than it initially seems—Collins' individual courage in becoming the first active-duty male professional athlete to come out is most meaningful, like most individual acts, in context.
There are executives and teams that would be more or less inclined to hire Collins because of who he is and his choice to own that identity in public, and that means something beyond reminding us that the owners of the Utah Jazz are jerks, or whatever. The response of Collins' NBA peers—broadly positive and accepting thus far, although someone is obviously going to say something stupid at some point, at which point we'll go through the ritualistic dismay-cycle that comes with that—matters, too. New York sports radio host Mike Francesa, a rancid veal breast wrapped in Today's Man microfiber blends and comically bulletproof self-regard, wrote the story off as a "dramatic attempt to sell a magazine, I guess," and that, finally, doesn't matter. Ditto for the airheaded disagree-with-the-lifestyle righteousness of ESPN's Chris Broussard, one of what will doubtless be many pious and hilariously un-Christlike Christians to huff in similar silly ways. It doesn't matter because Mike Francesa doesn't matter—doesn't matter to exactly the same huge extent to which Francesa is convinced he does matter—and because Chris Broussard doesn't matter, but it mostly doesn't matter because Collins' story isn't about some Diet Coke-braised radio meat's opinions or the dim prejudices of some scoop-faking mediocrity, so much as it's about work.
It is not just about that for Jason Collins, of course, or for the many other gay athletes who have had to wear the same burdensome mask he wore without ever getting the relief he seems to have found in shedding it. For him and for them and for many of us, straight and gay, this is personal—here's a person we have watched play for years stepping more fully and proudly into himself, and here too is our refracted, vicarious pride and happiness in seeing him do that. This is all good: good for him and good for the league and the game and those of us who care about both, and also good as a development in one of the precious few national conversations that seems to be progressing in more or less the direction and manner—if still not nearly at the pace—that it undoubtedly should.
But if his dignity is a big part of what makes Jason Collins so admirable at this moment, the way he has consistently found dignity in his very public labor is what makes it stick. Jason Collins has faced off with Shaquille O'Neal and Tim Duncan and David Robinson in the NBA Finals and his generation's other NBA giants in games significant and insignificant, and he has not outscored or outplayed them in any of those games. Collins went into those games knowing that he would not, could not do that. He might foul them in a timely or intelligent way, or piss them off, or set good enough screens and play good enough defense to mitigate at least to some extent the inescapable physical fact that his opponents were bigger and stronger and better at basketball than him. His ability to do those things, his willingness and knack for the NBA's most rote and punishing work, has made him both professionally valuable and personally wealthy.
And if Collins' bravery today has made him an historically significant figure—and I'd argue that it has—it's worth remembering that his humble heroism is of a piece with his reliable and consistently unheroic life in basketball. Jason Collins earned both respect and a living by doing work, by pushing and fighting and fighting even when it was more or less futile, because that was his job as he understood it and because it was the way he could do it best. He won what he won by finding ways to make his humble individual utmost a component part of a collective effort towards a common goal, and so both buried and multiplied his labor's significance. He makes his living like that, by disappearing into his work and doing it, by doing invisible and important things that aren't easily or adequately captured on either side of a basketball card.

PHOENIX, Ariz. – It's cold and gray and spitting rain on the corner of 51st and Indian School Road, the kind of morning where a single drop of rain to the back of your neck can ruin the whole day.
Prince Fielder(notes) is wearing sunglasses.
He's at first base, defending his plot of grass and dirt against contact plays, a man leaning off third, new manager Ron Roenicke putting the ball in play with back-handed flips, catchers yelling as it skitters away.
Fielder is laughing and pointing and calling off pitcher Randy Wolf(notes), even on a ball Wolf probably should take, because it's no fun just to stand out there and do nothing and watch everybody else play.
He's got a 'fro going that leaks out from under his cap, a beard that's beginning to show promise, and a grin that seems to swallow up the place.
It's just into late March and he's already jawed with San Francisco Giants lefty Barry Zito(notes) and stomped onto the field during a scrape against the Los Angeles Dodgers, after which Dodgers pitcher Roman Colon(notes) suggested, "He has to let that ego go a little bit," at which Fielder stone-faced, "I don't know him."
Dale Sveum, the hitting coach, leans on a fungo bat, watches Fielder take another roller away from a pitcher, and says, "He's just in a really good place."
That place being Milwaukee, for the time being, though it's bigger than that.
For all the bellowing coming out of St. Louis about its first baseman, folks in Wisconsin have their own issue with their own guy, and while baseball in St. Louis survives anything, and will the loss of Albert Pujols(notes) should it come to that, Prince Fielder walking out on the Milwaukee Brewers could have the more lasting impact.
After all, Fielder is 26, coming up on 27. Pujols is 31 and will be 32 by next opening day.
Pujols is easily the better player, but for how much longer? Four years? Five? Six, when he's 37 and Fielder is still just 32?
In St. Louis, baseball sells tickets. The game draws. A good game – featuring Pujols – draws better, of course.
In Milwaukee, the Brewers were barely clearing two million fans – and some seasons less than that – when Prince arrived. By his breakout season of 2007, when he hit 50 home runs (and Ryan Braun(notes) was Rookie of the Year), the Brewers were close to three million, then topped three million the following two seasons.
Beginning in 2001, which was Pujols' rookie year, Cardinals' attendance declined for three consecutive seasons.
There could be a thousand reasons for that, none of which would reflect poorly on Pujols, who became the best player in baseball around the time Barry Bonds faded away and hasn't taken a year off since. (Since 2005, when Pujols won his first MVP, Cards attendance has held steady – and healthy – between 3.3 and 3.5 million.)
And you wonder, given the age disparity, where the smart money goes on a long-term contract. The knock on Prince is his weight, and how much longer he can be heavy and athletic and productive and dependable, which all works at 26. But how about 36?
Asked to push Fielder and Pujols out 10 years, and to project the better coming decade of the two, one veteran scout sided slightly with Pujols.
"Good question," he said. "But the great ones seem to play well into their 40's."
I guess what all this means is you look around the Brewers' clubhouse and wonder what will become of the organization without Prince. He came along at a time home runs were dying out and in the past four seasons has hit 162 of them (four more than Pujols), and in that time only Ryan Howard(notes) and Prince have hit at least 46 in a season twice.
There's more to Prince, too. He'll grab a teammate's lapel and give it a good shake, and he plays big brother to the other 24 when stuff starts going down, and he'll run the bases like a guy half his size, at least in terms of enthusiasm.
When Roenicke told the Brewers his door was open and would stay open, Prince thought he was talking specifically to him. Soon, the man's going to have a chair named after him in the manager's office. They've talked styles of baseball, and the uniqueness of a walk year, and what this season means to the Brewers, and why it should all work. And Prince is down with all of it.
"I think we're good," he says. "This is the best team overall since I've been here."
If, at the end of it, he does indeed walk – and there's no one who thinks he won't – then Prince will have to be OK with that, too. There was a time, he suggests, when the public conversations about whether he'd be traded or how the Brewers possibly could afford him or about the latest contract negotiations weren't as easy to live with as he let on.
He says he's "eliminated all that."
"At this point," he says, "I think it's a lot more centered. Before, it's unknown when you get to this point. You don't know what to feel, so you're a little nervous. Now that I'm here, it's like, 'Oh, it's just baseball.' "
Fortunately for him and the Brewers, baseball happens to be what he does.
"I want him to have a big year, both individually and – because if he has a big year – then our team has a big year," Roenicke says. "I've told him, don't get out of your game because of what might happen at the end of the year."
It's worked for now. He's had a solid spring, batting .355 with three homers. He looks strong and even slightly leaner. And he's pleased with his team, and with the new manager leading it, and with whatever's beyond that.
"I'm happy now," he says.

Frequently, I find myself counting the number of cars parked in the fire lanes outside of the local supermarkets in Davidson County - of which there are usually no less than four vehicles - and wonder why anyone would park there.
On this particular visit, and upon exiting my vehicle to go inside, another vehicle pulled up and parked right behind the last one - making the total number of vehicles parked in succession five.
Retrieving a shopping cart, I made my way around the store purchasing the items I needed. About halfway through the store, I happened to encounter the individual who moments earlier had parked the fifth vehicle in the fire lane.
As I passed the individual, I thought that if I ever wanted an answer to my question about why people park in fire lanes, now was the time to ask.
Nervously, I cleared my throat, took a deep breath and whispered in a barely audible voice in the person's direction, "I'm terribly sorry to bother you, but could you tell me why, when it was so clearly marked, 'no parking,' that you parked your vehicle in the fire lane in front of the store?"
The person then turned and stared at me very coldly. As their eyes began to narrow down into two itty-bitty tiny glazed-over steel-like slits of flint, the person replied slowly back to me through tightly clenched teeth, with their lips scarcely moving, "Because I wanted to."
I hurriedly replied, "OK, thank you," whirled my shopping cart around faster than you can spit out a cherry seed and made a headlong dash for the checkout counter to pay for the items in my cart - because I now knew the answer to the question that had plagued me for so long.
I drove home, unpacked the groceries from the car and told my husband what had happened.
"Are you crazy?" he said. "That person could have slapped the taste right out of your mouth." My husband has always been overly dramatic with his colorful phrases and choice of words, which he normally saves for just these types of occasions. "At least, I now know, why people park in fire lanes. It's because they want to." My husband informed me that in the future if I wanted to know why people do the things that they do, just ask him.
Trying to rationalize the situation, I wondered whether people were aware that parking in fire lanes interferes with traffic and pedestrian flow and creates safety hazards.
Could the store managers perhaps say something to people who park in the fire lanes, or would they fear losing them as customers?
Sometimes people just pull right up in the drive path in front of the store and leave their engines running while another person gets out and goes in to shop, and the driver just sits in the car. Their vehicle remains there blocking traffic until the other person comes back.
In order for emergency vehicles (fire/police/EMS) to effectively respond to fire and hazardous emergencies, there must be unobstructed access all around the perimeter of the building. Fire personnel established fire lanes from the beginning to allow for imminent and immediate access to structures. Clear and unobstructed access to fire hydrants and to buildings with high occupancy levels is necessary to allow firefighters to provide the public with prompt and appropriate service in times of emergencies.
Fire trucks are long, wide vehicles that require more space than most people realize in order to safely maneuver through intersections and corners.
Blocking access to buildings could possibly result in the unsuccessful administering of life-saving CPR, and if emergency personnel cannot get to an individual because of the obstructed access, it might present legal consequences for both the grocery store as well as the individual parking his or her vehicle in the fire lane causing the obstructed access. Both might possibly face dire consequences like litigation or civil lawsuits because emergency personnel could not reach the people needing emergency care in time to save their lives.
"Legally speaking," parking in front of a grocery store is not necessarily a fire-lane violation because most shopping centers do not have official fire lanes, which have been designated by city fire marshals. "Official fire lanes" are marked with red-and-white signs that state specific "fine" amounts for parking there. Police officers can only write tickets to people illegally parked in those lanes that depict fine amounts - not the ones that are only marked with "no parking, fire lane" signs.
Merchants do not have the authority to designate areas in front of their stores as "fire lanes," because most merchants do not own the property their stores sit on.
Merchants can, however, put up "no parking, fire lane" signs and have the offending vehicles towed to enforce their "no-parking, fire lane" rules.
What may seem to be sufficient parking for everyone wishing to park in the fire lanes may not in actuality be room enough for the fire trucks, the EMS vehicles, the police vehicles and all the customers who do not want to walk what they consider a long distance to the entrance of the store.
I believe that only individuals who are handicapped should park in handicapped parking spots, and only emergency vehicles should park in fire lanes.
The rest of us need to park where we are supposed to park.
If grocery stores want to hire minibuses and drivers to pick customers up from their vehicles like amusement parks do and bring them to the front door, than that is up to them.
However, for myself, I will continue to walk whenever I get the chance and be grateful that I can, while I can.

Most often, companies change names to signify movement into a different area of business or a change in management. Less frequently, a name change is desired to help rebrand a company after legal or financial trouble. Changing your company's name involves notifying multiple government agencies and can be a large undertaking. However, you can change the name of your business with few issues if you are well prepared.
Go to the U.S. Patent and Trademark office website and click the "Trademark Search" link. Enter the new company name you want to use to ensure it hasn't already been trademarked. You could face a lawsuit if you use someone's trademarked material.
Contact the agency that registers businesses in your state to request a name change form. This is the secretary of state in most states, but in some areas the state taxation agency handles business registrations. Although the specific information you must provide on the form varies by state, in most cases you must include the company's old name, the new name, the business's Employer Identification Number and the date you want the name change to become effective. Pay any applicable registration fees when you submit the form.
Request the forms you need to change your company's name on any applicable permits and licenses from your state's business registration agency. Depending on your state, this may involve completing new permit and license applications or simply filling out a shortened form with your new information.
Write a letter to the Internal Revenue Service stating the name change if you are a sole proprietor. Include the company's old name, the new name, EIN, phone number and address. If you incorporated your business, indicate the name change by checking the appropriate box on Form 1120 and entering the new name. Partnerships must check the "Name Change" box on Form 1065.

I bought an Outback 2017 model on July 2016 and decided to spend more for the convenience of having the ability to set interior temperature of the car before I go in by having the remote start option. The car manual stated that if you set the A/C or heater setting the way you like it before turning the engine off, you should be able to have the same setting when you turn the engine on using the remote start. My car did not do that.
I brought the car to the Subaru of Glendale, California on January 20, 2017 and the service advisor told me that it only works for the 2016 and not the 2017 model. When I told him that it did not make sense that a newer model would be less capable than an older one and that the feature is clearly stated in the 2017 manual, he promised to call me on Monday or Tuesday of the next week because that day was a Saturday and he can't get a response from Subaru of America.
So I waited and no call came. Today (Wednesday 1/25/17), I gave them a call and was told that the advisor was busy and that he will give me a call. After a while I called again and was told the advisor was off-duty! I called the service supervisor and she said she would connect me with another advisor to help me. I was put in hold and after a few minutes, the line was cut!!! I called again and again, I was promised that somebody would call me back and as I am writing this, no calls! They were so good when I was buying the car, and you think that I was planning to buy the Impreza for the wife next month! Hell no! This will be my first and last Subaru!!!
We own a 3-year old Outback with 37,000 miles on it. Since purchasing the vehicle, we have had to add a quart of oil between each scheduled service (about every 3,000 miles). The dealership tells us that is not abnormal due to the thin grade of oil (which was never mentioned when we were considering purchase of this Outback). It gets worse. In November, without warning, the car lost all power while waiting at a red light on an exit ramp off the interstate. Because we could not get the power back, we were unable to move the vehicle to the shoulder. While waiting for the tow truck, another car smashed into the driver side of the vehicle (hit and run). After months of arguing with Subaru of America, we were told that the accident resulted from the other driver's negligence (rather than because the car was completely dead on the ramp) and, therefore, Subaru was not responsible in any way.
The Louisville, Kentucky dealership where we purchased the car finally examined it last week and reported they could find no identifiable problem with the engine. Therefore, the service department concluded there is absolutely no reason to expect this will ever happen again and suggested that we were overreacting because we fear this could occur again, without warning as before, and don't want to drive the vehicle any longer. Not surprisingly, when we asked to meet with the General Manager of the dealership to discuss our concerns, the response was that he was too busy to meet with us (but we could call him). And Subaru has the nerve to boast about its reputation for "customer service." You couldn't prove it by our experience. It would be difficult for us to say that Subaru stands behind its product.
Have 2016 Subaru Outback with serious electrical problems. Steering lockout prevents car from starting. We Have extended warranty. Dealership found and identified several codes indicating the sporadic occurrences. Bob Baker Subaru Carlsbad CA refused to fix the problem, and stated we would have to bring the car in while it was experiencing the problem which would be almost impossible. The "reason" given was itemizing and comparing the risk to a potential "flat tire" and how much money the repair would cost them. So much for extended warranties.
The Subaru flagship has terrible engine alert system. Apparently, when there is an engine problem instead of just a check engine light, all feature lights go on and the extra safety features, eyesight etc. become disabled! Subaru service says that the car does this so you'll bring the car in to be serviced and that most cars do this. I have never had this experience. Why disable any safety features! We are dealing with the all lights on, no safety features, for the second time. When I inquired about our lost garage opener left in their loaner car, that loaner was out more than two weeks because they couldn't figure out what was wrong with the owner's car. I thought I was buying a good car for my son and now I'm really starting to wonder.
I own a 2013 Outback 2.5. I drive a ton for work, family and fun. Like 30k per year. Pretty quickly I realized my car was going through a lot of oil. Oil light was going on at 2,500 miles. The dealership said it was probably because of the amount of miles I drove. I would just add the oil. At 90,000 miles my transmission was making a horrible whiny noise that got worse. They said I needed a new transmission because they can't fix the CVT. It is an all enclosed unit. They said it would cost about $8,000.00 but would talk with Subaru about getting some help. It still cost me $2,000.00 and I was driving a loaner for about three weeks.
At 110,000 miles I get a letter in the mail about a Class Action lawsuit regarding the oil consumption issue. I take it to the dealer as directed. They changed the oil and I bring it back after 1250 miles so they can verify oil consumption. What do you know, my car goes through too much oil! They replaced the small block for no charge. I had my car back in three days. My point is that I was less than happy about the issues my car had, but more than happy with Subaru's and my dealer's response to those issues.

Bought a brand new 2016 Forester limited back in May at the white bear Subaru dealer. At 5,000 miles five thousand miles the car failed to start sitting for as little as 24 hours in a nice and warm garage. The person that jump started my car was surprised knowing that it's a brand new car... taking it to the dealer next week for an inspection... definitely not a lovely way to start a new year.
I had this Impreza on March 2016, so far very disappointed. Compare with my last car Hyundai is not that good. First the painting is not a very good quality, the front lower paint is already had lots white spot, maybe in the rough road a bit damaged, but the Hyundai never like this and I had more than 8 years, just show the painting not very strong. Second the sound system sometimes not working, still display everything on screen, just not play, like dead computer, I have to restart it. And today I found my windscreen got a crack line, not really like a stone hit as the crack very even, maybe the original fitting is not good so sooner or later will cracking. I just wondering what's happened in that day when they assembly this car in Japan? And I want to know is really Japanese care about their customer.
I purchased a new 2016 Subaru Outback 3.6R Limited in March of 2016. The interior is a light-colored leather. A few months after purchase, I found that anyone wearing blue jeans in the car turned the seats blue. I contacted Subaru official site and spoke with my dealer. The dealer stated they were aware of this and have been receiving numerous customer complaints, but have no remedy to offer. They also said frequent cleaning of the leather may cause premature wear. This wasn't something I was warned about when buying the car. I traded in a 10-year-old Honda Accord with the same color leather and never had any problem with dye transfer and no problem with previous leather upholstery, including the other Outbacks in the family. I'm looking at the option to trade in my 9 month old car on another brand, though it would cause a major financial loss. But I need to weigh this against the possibility of having to replace my interior.
Since day one I have been getting an electronic alert sound, like a "doink" sound. I think this happens when the vehicle loses communication with the satellite. It is very loud and can occur multiple times when traveling in an area where there is a weak signal. It overrides all audio sound systems. Why can't this sound be silenced? My Subaru dealer says that nothing can be done to silence this most annoying and unnecessary noise. They said that I should not renew my StarLink or Sirius radio subscription and that should take care of the problem. What!!! I paid $35,000 and I can't use these features!! That is ridiculous. I hope someone might have a solution to this problem. Here's one. How about a line of software code that says "if communication with satellite is lost DON'T DOINK!" I would recommend any potential buyers not to purchase the navigation voice command or StarLink system. Not worth the money.
It has always been at least a two week wait for an appointment. Now it's 30 days. Really??? I was also given the option of just leaving my car there for a week. They might get to it per the person answering the phone. I purchased an extended warranty which is about to run out. Now all of a sudden my headlight won't come on. I took to a mechanic and he tests and determines it's the switch which is over $200. He says it should be under warranty. I cannot get an appointment earlier than 30 days. I travel a lot and consider this to be dangerous. Are the low beams going to go out too? Who knows, I don't. Also had a recall on the wiper motors which I cannot get serviced either. 30 days is a ridiculous time to wait for service. Especially on things that can cause you harm or injury if they go out.
What's going on? You sell us this stuff and you cannot deliver. Oh I was also told I could take it to the next county which is 40 mins away. What kind of service is this, anyway. The solution. If your auto has problems and you don't have enough mechanics to deal with the volume of customers, then Subaru needs to pay the person I get to repair it. I think that is fair. Is there a recall on the turn signal light switch? My vehicle is a 2012. Never owned a car that had so many dangerous problems so quick. My car now has 50K miles. What am I to expect in the future?? I thought this was a well put together vehicle. I'm beginning to wonder. Not being able to have the vehicle serviced in a reasonable period of time is not acceptable to me, and I'm sure not to any owner. So, I await your reply for my solution since your service dept. cannot help me. I live in Asheville, NC.
I was driving South on I-90 near Janesville, Wisconsin and noticed that my hood was not fully latched. I knew there was a Subaru dealer in Janesville rather than waiting until I got to Rockford, I'll another hour away. I pulled into the dealership and explained my problem. Soon Jim the service manger was at my car looking over the latch and cleaning it so that it now works perfectly. The entire visit took less than 15 minutes. I was then sent on my way at no charge. My wife and I both have 2014 Foresters and we love them. Our encounters with Subaru service departments have always been very positive. This latest encounter with Jim reinforces why we are Subaru owners.
Love the 2015 Crosstrek! Eyesight is great when it works. Had the car in for the recall and three additional times, in two different states. Last time, took 1-1/2 days, had a great, brand new loaner (Courtesy Subaru in Rapid City) turned out to be a right rear brake assembly. Have another appointment tomorrow, on again, off again Eyesight. This morning, car started right up, no Eyesight and stuck in park, neutral or brakes locked up. Don't know, might have to be towed in. Glad it was in the garage at home.
I'm a long time Subaru owner and enthusiasts however my 2013 Subaru Crosstrek began making a noise. When I took it to the dealership they proceeded to tell me it needed a $8,000 transmission and I'm 8000 Miles over the warranty. It currently has 68000 miles on it. How many people expect your transmission to go out at 68000 miles? Let me know if you're having the same problem. I'm currently trying to get into contact with Subaru about this problem. It has to be some sort of defect in the transmission. Still waiting for them to contact me. Everyone thinking about purchasing a vehicle like the Crosstrek should probably get a standard not an automatic. Why in the world would a transmission cost $8,000? That is crazy and go out at 68000 miles.
I have a 2014 Subaru Outback that I bought new. Until now, I loved my car. A few weeks ago, I noticed it having difficulty starting. This happens both when I use the key to start it and when I use my auto start. When it began, it wasn't cold out (I live in Minnesota). It was almost 50 degrees. The car would take longer to start and keep turning over before firing up. Other people even noticed it. I took it in for service and they tried doing a computer reset and told me that should do it. It didn't work, so I took it back.
Meanwhile, I had done some research and found that some Subarus can start doing "hard starts", which is exactly what this seemed to be. Unfortunately, the dealership I took it to did not take me seriously and tried to tell me that it was normal for my car to start that way in the cold weather (by this time it was in the teens outside for temps). They were unwilling to see it as an engine issue and told me that all cars do this, which was completely ridiculous. Prior to bringing it in, it almost would not start one night and I thought I might have to call a tow truck. If this is what my car is going to do at 3 years old, it needs to go. A Subaru dealership is telling me this is "normal" for the car and it cannot be fixed, and apparently it isn't that uncommon for this car. I need a reliable vehicle. I plan to get rid of it and get a vehicle I can trust to start. It's disappointing because I really liked this car.
I have owned my Subaru 7 years. I only have to do the manufacturer service maintenance as my Subaru runs beautifully! I have had NO major issues at all. My Subaru is dependable with Great gas mileage! My Muscatell Subaru dealership on Hwy 10 in Moorhead MN does an excellent job of also taking care of my Subaru with their GREAT service staff!
I think I got one of the few troublesome Subarus made. I have it serviced at the dealer. I complain. They say everything is fine. I call it the gutless wonder. Other friends who have 4 bangers are surprised at the poor handling and slow to accelerate car. It is very noisy inside, lots of rattles, very disappointed. I have read owners' complaints and comments online. Apparently there are major problems down the line with the Outbacks. I have the start of the said problems. I am just hoping the problem can be fixed before my extended warranty expires in 2017! I also don't get better than 23 mpg combined in the base model, and I am careful because I am cheap. I wish it was better.
Returning from a long trip late Oct. 2016, the oil light came on with over a thousand miles left to go for the next scheduled oil change. Added a quart of oil to get home and after contacting Subaru Customer Service took the car to Tucson Subaru, AZ for an oil consumption test. At the first part of the test, engine is checked for external oil leaks, oil level sensors to be in working order, and complete oil and oil filter change is performed. After 1200 miles, you return for the second part of the test which is to check oil level, add oil if necessary, and determine amount used. If a third of a quart (10.7oz) or more is consumed, engine deemed to be using excessive oil and the short block is replaced. My car is still under powertrain warranty.
Here is the problem: First part - the crankcase was overfilled (I personally checked and oil level was over the full mark on the dipstick by well over 1/2"). Second part - the crankcase was filled to the full mark on the dipstick. (Again, I personally checked) Result - Very small amount of oil consumption. Engine deemed normal.
If you look at the first invoice findings (see attached) it says 1.2qts low, add the 1qt when oil light came on during trip and that equals 2.2qts consumption in approx 6500 miles. At that rate, the 1200 miles test should have been 0.406qts consumed. Well over the one-third quart criteria. How can anyone determine oil consumption in this manner? My common sense tells me to fill the crankcase with a pre-measured amount of oil in ounces, drive the prescribed 1200 miles, return for a measured oil drain in ounces, the difference is the amount of oil consumed.Cars are not cheap nowadays. The manufacturers and dealers should stand behind their products, customer satisfaction and not put the bottom line $$ first.
Are dealers mandated by Subaru to test oil consumption in this manner in order to save money?Is the dealer too irresponsible to do things correctly? Either way, it is very disappointing and frustrating to say the least. My daughter owns a 2014 Forester and has been having oil system problems as well as numerous other issues. I for one, and probably my daughter as well, would not recommend Subaru vehicles to anyone and definitely not consider buying again. In my opinion, Subaru's perceived reputation is just that, perceived and not a reality.
Excellently made car. Have had absolutely no issues with this car, always in top condition through rain, snow, sleet, hail, heat, etc. When I was initially shopping for cars I never would have thought that I would love my Subaru the way I do, but the moment I sat in my Forester and drove it around the block I knew I had to have it. First, Subaru dealerships also don't pay their employees on commission, so there is no need to be haggled and harassed. They state the true and honest facts about their vehicles. My Subaru has not depreciated in value, and even though it is a 4 wheel drive car NO maintenance has ever been done to it besides an oil change every few thousand miles. Worth every penny. Oh, and don't forget about Eyesight. It has literally saved my life (and my insurance premiums) more times than I can count. You won't regret it buying this extremely well made and beautiful car. I know I haven't.
I purchased a brand new 2017 Subaru WRX roughly three months ago. Upon immediately driving onward I was noticing a really bad smell shifting gears and I brought it into a shop nearby. I had the service manager come for a ride-along to view my driving habits and he told me it was OK and that the smell would go away. Now, a couple of weeks ago, I was noticing the gear was tougher to shift into first, and then eventually the gears weren't selecting properly. I'd be in gear 3 and it'd say gear 2, and so forth. Also, the biting point became completely non-existent. I took it into the nearest dealership with only 7800 km on the odometer and the clutch was completely gone.
I called Subaru of Canada about it and as they reiterated many times throughout the conversation, the clutch was not covered under warranty since it was a wearable item. The dealership also said it was due to driving error. Upon doing research into this, I'm seeing a lot of the earlier models are having the exact same issue and it's the highest complaint on record for the 4th gen wrx in both the 2015/16 models - that can't be coincidence. Anyways, I'm having to fork 1000+ out of pocket for the expenses and more for the rental I'm using since the dealership didn't have any loaners on hand.
The lady I was speaking to even said the clutch will go out that quickly depending on driving habits but I'm a spirited driver, at best. And there's no reason a clutch should go out in less than 10,000km. Hopefully this helps anyone think twice about their next big purchase, especially the wrx, to actually do some homework and check into any policies or warranty information. This is my first Subaru and probably my last.
I'm 63 years of age and suffered a stroke but can still drive. The safety features, i.e., Eyesight, back up, area and blindside cameras are a great help. The power lift gate very useful in loading and unloading items. Very comfortable seats for long distance drives and great convenient features like navigation, bluetooth phone, siriusXM radio and much more for a very competitive price. Value, All wheel drive, reliability and fuel economy were major considerations for selecting a Subaru Outback.
I purchased a "Certified Pre-Owned" Vehicle, 2014 Subaru Crosstrek XV hybrid, from Subaru of Orange Park 06/26/2016. The vehicle had less than 30k miles at purchase. Less than 4 months from purchase date, the hybrid system / engine went out on the vehicle. As I was driving on the highway, the system told me to "Pull Over to Safety and Turn Off Engine". Subaru of Orange Park was unable to diagnose or service. Upon research I find that after two years of hybrid makes, Subaru no longer manufactures hybrid vehicles because of the KNOWN technical issues that deemed unprofitable to the manufacturer. I had to have the car transported to a further Subaru location that services hybrids because hybrid technicians are sparse; I can only imagine how sparse they will be 2 years from now. The servicing dealer had to fly in an expert to diagnose.
My car was in shop for 7 days. The extended warranty that I PURCHASED covered the repair, outside of a deductible, towing, and car rental. Without the warranty, the cost is estimated at $1,556. Based on research, the system is anticipated to crash every 30-40k miles. Due to faulty manufacturing, the value and longevity of my vehicle has diminished. When I contacted the manufacturer, they asked me to deal directly with the dealership, so I did. I noticed the Certified Pre-Owned checklist has a "?" in the hybrid section. The dealer was not authorized to sell me a "Certified Pre-Owned" vehicle with items on the checklist not accounted for, especially the engine. Post-repair, I discovered the hybrid system was not functioning at the time of purchase.
Originally, the dealer told me they'd work out a satisfactory solution with me. However, I called today and was informed that they will not support an even trade. My option is to buy up to another vehicle, which I cannot afford, nor do I desire to lose $1823 in additional warranties that I purchased at the time of vehicle. This is not acceptable to me. The vehicle is not safe nor reliable, and the value is going to plummet as reliability becomes known and maintenance becomes extinct.
Just bought a new 2017 Subaru Forester Touring model which is now confined to my garage. We have a steep hill nearby which I use frequently. The hill is 2.4 miles in length and in parts is up to 20% decline. With all previous vehicles I simply stuck the car in low and applied the brakes occasionally. The Forester does not hold the speed down in either drive or low gear and I am obliged to use the brakes constantly which I believe to be dangerous. The car is equipped with x- mode feature but that is only effective up to 18mph and driving at that speed would make me very unpopular with other road users. My dealership has no answer but they are researching. I'd appreciate any advice.
Time proven and highest resale value of all car brands. Customer loyalty second only to Ferrari. Subaru owns the winter with symmetrical all-wheel drive, out-performs every vehicle in its class.
I purchased my new 2013 Subaru Forester in July of that year after having a 2003 Subaru forester for ten years hoping that l would get as good as run out of 2013 as l did out of the 2003. But in the three years that l have had this car (2013), l have a short motor put in at 100,000 kms which had to pull the motor apart twice as the dealership put the old shim valves back in it so they had to put it apart to put new shim valves back in. The front lower control arms bushes have been replaced twice both front CV Joints on both sides have been replace. Bluetooth unit has been replaced 3 times and still giving me problems. The HILLHOLD/ABS/ADC warning lights had been coming on repeatedly which l was told it was a faulty brake light switch. The sensor for the horn has also been replaced and all wheel nuts and hub bolts have all been replaced twice. So this experience has put a bitter in my mouth to back to buy another Subaru.
Purchased a new Outback in April 2016. Noticed the GPS map was from Q3 2014, so I asked the salesman if it could be updated. The salesman checked with the service department and told me that it could be updated by the service department just as soon as an update was available...but an update was not available at that time. A few months later after moving to another state, I asked Subaru Customer Service if my map could be updated. They informed me that the Subaru policy would not allow me to get an update before I owned the Outback for 12 months. So my map would be almost three years old before I could get it updated by a Subaru service department. I wasted much too much time sending emails to them attempting to get an update approved and after too many...I gave up and was lucky enough to find a way to update it myself.
Subaru ripped me off multiple times when the clutches (transmissions?) the sold me were defective. I've been driving manual transmission cars since 1984, but the clutch on my 2007 Subaru Impreza WRX kept going way bad for years. Only after a non-Subaru mechanic installed a non-Subaru clutch when the 5th one failed 20K miles on the odometer has the clutch on my car been reliable. Subaru fixed only one under warranty, then abandoned all warranty support for their defective product. Of particular concern was the completely crappy service done on the car by the now defunct Subaru dealership in Charleston, SC. This has been my 2nd Subaru, but I will try a Mitsubishi vehicle the next time around.
2015 Subaru Outback Limited 3.6 liter. We purchased this vehicle new in April 2015 to replace a 2011 Outback that was totaled by a red light runner. It has been a big disappointment. The almost $40,000 total price we thought with all the options compared to a 4 Runner was a good deal, the blind spot system (SRVD) failed on the day we drove it home, took almost 6 months to have it repaired. I found a shop bulletin online that described the problem to the letter. Of course the selling dealer didn't have a clue on how to fix it. They replaced most of the electronic parts and calibrated it. That problem is fixed. There has been 4 or 5 recalls since along with over 40 tsb's. The problem that there seems no fix for is the garage door opener operates on the same frequency as does the key-fob/smart key system.
At times the seat belt alert chimes with everything off. Also the rear hatch will not open and when attempting to open either front door, placing hand inside handle, all doors lock, takes several attempts to open door, (all these problems only occur in the garage or driveway after the door clicker is pushed to open garage door). There has been no offer by Subaru to try to fix this. My Honda Ridgeline (2014) does not have this issue. This problem should not occur. The Key-fob system should not allow interference from any source. If anyone else has this problem, please write a review. My door opener is a Chamberlain belt drive with outside keypad.
I drive my Subaru Outback 2.5 for only 90.000 miles (approx 144.000 KM) when all sudden the head gasket is leaking. Replacing the gasket it's a major service that can take many hours, and cost a lot of money. I think of buying a new car, any recommendations?
On a random check of Subaru recalls I discovered the Takata Airbag recall for my 2010 Forester. I was not notified by Subaru until much later. After hearing nothing further from Subaru I called both SOA and the local dealership. They were either clueless or not interested, but in any case they knew nothing and told me I'd hear from them at the first of the month. Two firsts of the month have come and gone and no word. All I have is their advice is to not let anyone ride in the passenger seat... Today I see that another recall has been issued for the Forester for a Turbocharger problem, but that info was provided by NHSTA, not SOA. The Forester has been an OK vehicle, but not great as far as cost to own is concerned. This Forester is my sixth Subaru. It will be my last.
I was a long-time Toyota owner and after putting 210,000 miles on my 2000 Matrix without any issues I decided I wanted to replace it with something that got decent gas mileage and had all-wheel drive. Enter my 2013 Subaru Impreza Sport. I've had what could be described as minor issues with this car since day one. First, the rear hatch (it's the hatchback version) would never shut on the first try. Had that adjusted and fixed.
Second was the issue with starting the car which started happening at about 5,000 miles. After googling my issue, I came to find out that this was a common issue that the owners were referring to as a "Hard Start" and that after denying it for a while, Subaru finally came up with a "fix" which is basically flashing the car's computer. Subaru sent out a service notification to their dealerships about this issue, but when I went in to 3 different dealerships they denied knowledge of the issue or the service notification until I gave them a copy that I found online (thank you **) and suddenly they remembered this common issue and the fix. I had the computer flashed and I would say the issue is improved, but not totally remedied.
At about 30,000 miles I noticed that the oil light would come on after only about 2,500 miles after an oil change. I'm concerned that this is going to get worse as the car ages. (I'm at just over 50,000 miles now.) One thing I noticed is that a couple days before the light will come on I will smell oil burning, so I'm not sure if that's damaging the engine. I've got into the habit of carrying a couple extra quarts of 0-20 in the spare tire compartment so I can pull over and add oil immediately if the light should come on. A friend of mine had a Subaru WRX that's engine seized because of low oil and his oil light never even came on beforehand. I've been so disappointed in the quality of this car. From people I know that are die-hard Subaru owners, it seems like they just can't maintain quality with the recent rise in popularity of their cars. I'm hoping that the oil issue does not result in a bigger issue before I pay off this loan!
