| Description of the problem | Valve spring recall subaru dealership "fixed" my car due to this recall back in february 2019, according to manufacturers procedure. This included adding oil and also coolant to my vehicle. It was returned to me as soon as it was completed (took 4 days approx.) however, recently, the week of the 20th of may 2019, that is about 3 months after the "repair" done for the recall, my engine stalled while i was driving on the road. Fortunately i was close to home and after struggling it turned on and i drove it home. Had to tow it to the dealership to get it fixed again. I am afraid the issue with the engine, is far more serious, and subaru is not acknowledging the issue as they should. Stalling in the middle of the road can be extremely dangerous. This needs to be fixed in a better matter. To which i think, all affected vehicles with this serious issue, need a new engine. |
