| Description of the problem | I am having the same issue with my head lights. I am disabled and this has become a huge problem and is not something i would advise the nhtsa to laugh at or take lightly. Not correcting a reoccuring issue that their vehicle, which is promoted to be extremely safe and reliable is a huge misconception. If they are ok with a disabled person or any person driving at night expecting thier lights to last because they have just had them changed, just to end up having to drive in the complete dark, is more than just an issue. Its an accident, which could end very badly, waiting to happen.. This needs to made a priority to fix for any 2011 subaru legacy owner. I am on my towns commission for persons with disabilities which happens to be located in the same town the subaru dealership is located. This topic was discussed at a previous meeting and it is going to be taken very seriously by the board if something is not done to correct this issue immediately. Multiple occurances. I have tried every avenue to correct this issue. I am confident this is now a manufacturers issue that needs to be addressed. I am going to the dealership to get this corrected once again today and if something is to happen tomorrow when i am due to travel in the dark, my family and lawyers will be holding subaru personally liable. |
