It’s been a really sound vehicle thus far
Took it in for an alignment and tire rotation before our Christmas trip to San Francisco area, new struts on the front and sent on our way.
Took my kids to daycare early and hear a rubbing/grinding sound from the rear of the vehicle as I slowed to exit the freeway. The back left wheel and rotor are very warm while the other three are cool to the touch.
Suggestions before I drop it at a mechanic again?

It was a sticking caliper.
New loaded brake caliper and rotor and we were GTG
Obviously when the caliper is removed, give the bearings a wiggle...

Like when I couldn't find the fuse box or the non existent fuel filter.

The wife calls and tells me that it’s shifting weird as she gets headed home
Rpm increase at 2200rpm speed decreasing at same time. 4200 rpm and speed resume and hard shift in every gear with out being full throttle.
So make some calls do some tec search. It needs a transmission. No point in tearing into it. Just replace as it’s known to be pure garbage
A few call get me a few prices. $3800 is my first, 2nd is $2800. For just the transmission
Labor carried from $800 to $1500 plus shop supplies n oil.
Called my buddy at ol John Watson GM and he got me handled in less than all. Trans out of Texas for $2700, labor $1100 and 100k mike warranty or five years on my transmission.
It should be finished tomorrow

Went to pull the traverse in after maybe 18 hours out of the garage.
It long long long crank and sputtered to a start. I pulled it in and didn’t think much of it.
Sunday Am off to Costco: long long long crank and No start. Popped hood and tossed a battery charger on it.
Monday take kids to school: long long long crank no start. Pulled battery and warranty replaced it. In with the new one. Long long long long crank and a foot full of fuel it sputtered to a start. Cloud of grey filled the garage.
Suggestions?
It currently is idling in the garage. No check engine light as of yet. Going to take it down the street to get the kids from school

No oil pressure to sender telling it to pump fuel?
Post by: Bigdave_185 on January 11, 2021, 01:51:51 PM
After taking the kids and coming back it starts as previously did
I’m gonna let it sit a few hours and see
Wondering about a crank position sensor,
Google says it has two fuel pumps one of them could be going,
Not sure if plugs and wires have ever been done on this

Sounds like not enough fuel, but that would give off a trouble light.Not on a start up.
It could be either fuel pump. Need to have a gauge on the rear pump. If it's fine, then it takes a scanner to check everything else, including the high pressure pump.

It still looks really nice, the inside seats and dash are all really nice, the only think of that doesn’t work correctly is the driver window controls don’t always control the back windows, the kids have to roll them up if I roll them down.
Otherwise very please to have this car for as long as we have

After getting kids from school I parked it for about 7 hours
When I went to start it I listened for the pump as Ken suggested. I could hear it for s brief moment then it would prime and shut down.
Car started fine multipolar times.
Ken on the phone said to keep watching and return with more info if it repeats
Today this am it drove and started just fine.

Subaru finally acted up on our 5th test drive.

Take the darn thing to a shop and they can’t find what your looking for
My favorite was a clunk in the rear drive system of my truck. I asked him to pull the diff and do a fluid check and look at the gears. He told me that he didn’t hear anything and to wait till it actually became a problem
Two months later I drove my truck out three stories underground in a parking garage, in 4x4 dragging the rear of my truck to the city street. The rear end exploded pulling out of a parking spot on a first date.
Loaded it into a snowmobile trailer and took it home
(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210113/8c2386c9c8493d7a5d708b5e50a0bda0.jpg)
Dented to roof from improper strapping and a massive bump in the free way
The mechanic said sorry and billed me the full amount for the rebuild
Never got a second date

Wife’s van is 16 years old and the Bus is 20. You get attached to them after a while like a badge of honor or bad luggage. Not sure which.

The difference being you put in the time to find an issue. And do your due diligence, he pushed me out the door even after I asked him to look willing to pay for the time
