| Description of the problem | Dealer claims to have properly performed a recall repair, but the problem persists i own a 2004 subaru impreza. There is a recall on the front suspension for a severe corrosion issue. I brought my car in to haddad subaru for the recall service in 2011 i was recently informed by my mechanic (not dealer mechanic) that the suspension is dangerously corroded and it "does not look like the recall was performed on this car." i had this opinion confirmed a second mechanic. I raised this issue with haddad subaru. They confirm the suspension is dangerously corroded, but will not replace it without authorization from subaru i raised this issue with subaru america and they state the recall was performed previously by hadad subaru and they have no further responsibility to address the issue. I am dubious the recall repair was correctly performed by hadad subaru in 2011 and that is why there is a problem now. It is a safety issue, so i have fixed it myself for nearly $1,000 |
