Description of the problem	Both coil springs on my 2014 forester failed local subaru dealer replaced both springs at a cost tome of $561. 00 for parts and labor. In addition, i was charged 99. 95 for a four wheel alignment mandated by the replacement of the springs. Vehicle had only 51,972 on the odometer. The vehicle was in motion on a smooth street when the springs snapped. The result of the broken springs was a sagging rear end of the vehicle making it unsafe to drive. This is a safety failure and should have been repaired without charge to me. I contacted subaru customer service and was told that there was no known problem with the suspension... However, there seem to be very many similar incidents reported on subaru owner websites.
