Description of the problem	While driving the motor stopped, the check engine light came on and the vehicle? S speed slowed dramatically, steering the disabled vehicle became almost impossible; a potential accident was avoided. The vehicle was towed to closest dealer. The dealer quoted an estimate of $2300 to tear down the motor to diagnose the problem. The vehicle has 29,000 miles and the warranty has extended coverage to 84,000 miles at a cost of $1288. Subaru of america was contacted to express dissatisfaction with the dealership; the customer service representative asked me to fax maintenance records for the vehicle. The documents were faxed at 2:00am on wednesday august 13, 2008. On august 14th i contacted subaru of america for a status update on the vehicle; the representative handling my case had left for the day so i requested a call back the next day. No response was received. Subaru of america has not conformed to their warranty obligations, stating neglect of owner may have caused the motor failure.
