| Description of the problem | Hello, i had bought a 2006 subaru legacy 2. 5 gt limited and i live in the hills of western ma, so my car saw 2 winters. Coming back from boston, ma 14 miles from home (out of 135 miles) as i was entering charlmônt i slowed down to 30 mph. As i approached a corner with a car coming in my lane. I thought if i went into his lane best case scenario i could make it. But we clipped back bumpers and when i put my brakes on the car started going faster at that time i just said there was puddle with ice underneath. But now with the recall about the brake lines in certain states being recalled, that makes since because when i slammed onto my brakes the car started to go faster not slowing down. I contacted about the accident [xxx] vp of subaru of america or soa. All he kept on doing was denying about this and offering $500. 00 if i bought a new subaru and now with the recall of the brakes it makes sense and even the recall he won't replace my vehicle in closing i would like to say that my subaru was a lemon and at the time of accident they were looking for a car like mine to swap it out with. [xxx] ps: i bet that never will i fill information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). |
