| Description of the problem | The gps system is unsafe. It says "exit right ahead", which would imply that you should exit at the next exit. But it says this when the exit programmed is the 2nd or 3rd exit. My wife tried to exit at the next exit, and then at the last minute, she realized that it was wrong and she swerved bacl onto the highway and almost had an accident. Suburu has to reprogram the gps system so that it doesn't say "exit right ahead" when it isn't the correct exit. They should then issue a recall and reprogram suburu owners gps system for free. |
