| Description of the problem | Driver's floor mat pulls on retention hook which is only anchored to the carpet floor, not the underlying metal floor. The forward tension of the floor mat on the hook lifts the carpet up from the metal floor & the hook disengages from the floor mat which slides forward up under brake & gas pedal. This is a constant daily occurrence. I have checked with subaru dealer several times, but they still have not fixed problem. |
