| Description of the problem | While driving my car on a clear, warm day, my daughter drove over a speed bump and the rear springs both broke leaving the car undriveable. At first, i was angry with her, thinking that she had hit the speed bump too hard, but upon doing research on the problem, i discovered dozens of similar complaints in regard to the same situation. Talking with a service person at the dealership where i purchased the vehicle (kenny ross subaru), he stated that he was aware of the problem with the 2014-2015 forresters, but there was no official recall and quoted a price of $925. 00 for the repair. I feel that with a problem that is not unique to only me and with this many other occurrences, subaru should step up and issue a recall and reimburse owners who have already had the repair made. |
