Hi, I'm here about my 2022 Outback. I've been experiencing a persistent rattling noise from the rearlikely the suspension. I bought it new here, and it's still well within the warranty period.
您好,我来处理我的 2022 款 Outback。我一直听到车尾有持续的嘎嘎声,可能是悬挂问题。我是从这里买的新车,而且它还在保修期内。

Emily (Female)
Okay, Mr. Smith. Can you describe the noise a bit more? Does it happen over bumps, or all the time? And did you purchase an extended warranty with us?
好的,史密斯先生。您能更详细地描述一下噪音吗?是在颠簸时发生,还是始终都有?您是否在我们这里购买了延长保修?
3
John (Male)
It's mostly over bumps, and it sounds like something loose. I did get the standard factory warranty, but not an extended one. I believe this issue should be covered.
主要是在颠簸时,听起来像是某种松动的东西。我确实获得了标准原厂保修,但没有延长保修。我认为这个问题应该在保修范围内。
4
Emily (Female)
Understood. The standard factory warranty typically covers most manufacturer defects for a specific period or mileage. We'll need to do a diagnostic check to confirm the cause of the rattling noise. If it's a covered component, the repair will be processed under warranty.
明白了。标准原厂保修通常在特定期限或里程内涵盖大多数制造商缺陷。我们需要进行诊断检查以确认嘎嘎声的原因。如果它是保修范围内的部件,维修将按保修处理。

John (Male)
Great. So, what's the next step? Do I just leave the car here, and you'll contact me with the findings?
太好了。那么,下一步是什么?我把车留在这里,然后你们会联系我告知检查结果吗?
6
Emily (Female)
Yes, exactly. We'll get it into the shop. Our technicians will examine it and determine if it's a warranty claim. We'll then call you to explain our findings and the next steps, whether it's covered or not.
是的,没错。我们会把它送到维修车间。我们的技术人员会检查它,并确定是否是保修索赔。然后我们会给您打电话,解释我们的检查结果和下一步,无论是否在保修范围内。

John (Male)
And how long does that diagnostic process usually take? Will I need a loaner vehicle?
那诊断过程通常需要多长时间?我需要一辆代步车吗?
8
Emily (Female)
Typically, the diagnostic takes a few hours. We'll aim to call you by the end of the day. If it requires extensive work and we have loaner vehicles available, we can certainly arrange one for you. Just confirm with me your availability.
通常,诊断需要几个小时。我们争取在今天结束前给您打电话。如果需要大量工作并且我们有代步车,我们当然可以为您安排一辆。只需与我确认您的可用性。
