| Description of the problem | Pieces of my rear coils broke off showing badly rusted. Some in street some in my garage. Vehicle started to drive differently. Took to firestone and both rear coils broke and 1 strut as well. Subaru knows about this but i did not and took to non subaru place for repairs. So they refused to make good or stand behind their vehicle because i didnt go to a subaru dealer and offered 500 cost me 1556. 00. This should have been a recall used metal that rusted and failed. |
