| Description of the problem | New car, would lose power while driving in traffic ,up hills and trying to change lanes. In the shop 8 times since new. Service stated they could not find a problem. They did replace air compressor,so there was some problem. Talked to subaru customer service, they had it tossed around for 3 months,then decided they would mark it as a complaint. They offered no help with any type of solution,have heard this about subaru from other owners. Received letter from subaru with a1500. 00 cash loyalty reward if i bought another one. Not possible as they were never loyal to me. Ralph nader should look at this as i feel it was unsafe at any speed. Traded it in on a new camry. Subaru cost me a lot of money just to get rid of a car that i feel is in the same league as the corvair. *js |
