Description of the problem | Dear sir, i recently purchased this subaru forester car ([xxx]) in georgia, but had noticed that before allowing it to be sold at auction, the manchester center, vt/motor vehicle department vermont didn't ensured this vehicle had passed all the recalls requested by your subaru company for this model of forester (i see at least one open recall no. Wvu31 reprogram ecm now which was not passed). Beside, according to carfax and autocheck reports, it seems the car din not went through 2010 recall (wvn24: engine control module (ecm) reprogramming & fuel tank one-way fuel valve). I presume because of this, the error code p1400 appears currently on the car display. Therefore, i would like asking your assistance in identifying which entity is bearing responsibility for these 2 problems? I asked also subaru inc. To allow servicing my car free of charge for inspection and removal of errors to the closest subaru dealer, but not reply yet. How is possible that the car was allowed by vermont motors department to be sold outside of usa, even if recalls were active? As a citizen of eu member state, i reserve the right to start a case for allowing selling outside of usa a car being under subaru recalls. I mean subaru recalls no. Wvn24 and wvu31, the last even has not been reported neither to carfax, nor to autocheck, which reports i purchased before. Hope you'll offer me entire assistance. Thank you for consideration.
