| Description of the problem | I was driving on city streets (speed limit 45mph) to run simple errands when the check engine light came on. I immediately turned around to go home which was just a minute or two away. As i sat at a traffic light, i realized the engine was idling a bit rough. The check engine light remained on. I parked the car in the garage and spoke with subaru as well as our mechanic at new dimensions automotive. Apparently, subaru had issued a mechanics notice to be aware that alternator problems existed. We ultimately had the repair completed at new dimensions on 8/6/19 in the amount of $877. 53. Our mechanic suggested that this mechanical issue may well become a recall, and to keep our receipt for just that reason. |
