gessner17 Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Hey all, I bought a Legacy back in June and as it got colder here in Iowa, it started making an awful noise when driving over 70mph. It seems to be the worst with a headwind or crosswind. It sounds to me like when you blow over the opening of a bottle. I know it's not engine or tranny related, I can coast in neutral and still loud. Anyone have any ideas? I've checked seals and front plastics and they all seem solid.

Caboobaroo Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 One of the downfalls with the design Subaru went with on the doors and window frames. With more wind, it catches the top of the door and forces down past the seal, which is why it gets worse with a cross wind. The window frame acts as a scoop around the top. Just speculating....

gessner17 Posted January 27, 2012 Author Share Posted January 27, 2012 I've driven my buddies and his is exactly the same, no noise on his on the same road, same day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hankosolder2 Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Isn't it under warranty? Take it to the dealer and let them sort it out. If they don't duplicate the fault, take them on a test drive with you, and if they claim it's normal, ask to drive another 2011 Legacy on the lot.
