| Description of the problem | While driving the car at 70 mph on a freeway it suddenly veered to the right. Quick action on my part kept the car from running off the road onto the shoulder. I took the car to the local subaru dealer at the first available appointment. They inspected the car and found the on-board computer showed an indication of a steering angle sensor fault. They kept the car overnight and road tested it but because they could to duplicate the problem they made no repairs to the vehicle. At a minimum, i feel they should have replaced the steering angle sensor and asked them to do so and they refused. I consider this car unsafe to drive. |
