| Description of the problem | Vehicle was involved in an accident with ice from a semi-trailer on 1/27/2015. The vehicle went through the insurance process, was in the collision repair shop for 23 days, and was returned to me with a headlight assembly that was epoxied together. It is now approaching 90 days since the initial accident. Subaru of america, the dealer that sold the vehicle to me, and the collision repair center which is another local subaru dealer all indicate that replacement headlight assemblies for the 2015 subaru impreza are not available. I need to find out the potential safety deficiencies for this 2015 subaru impreza with a damaged headlight that has been epoxied back together and re-installed in my vehicle that had 700 miles at the time of the incident on 1/27/2015, and now has 5900 miles due to my . 100 mile roundtrip daily commute for work. |
