Description of the problem	I was advised by an employee at midas who happens to own 3 subarus that the heat shield always comes loose on subarus which is alarming. Although it only cost me $40 to replace, i feel a little uneasy as i've only owned this vehicle for 1 1/2 years. When i first bought the vehicle (used), i took it back to the dealership several times due to a smell of something burning. Each time i was told that there was nothing they could find and i shouldn't worry. At almost two years, i am having the same problem although nothing major has happened and i'm hoping and praying it doesn't as i am the mother of a 3 year old child and would hate for my car to either catch on fire or for me to get in an accident due to subarus neglect to correctly investigate the real problem.
