| Description of the problem | "takata recall" my vehicle was towed to "subaru of plano" in plano, tx. For an oil leak, was there for 3 weeks while i went back and forth with my insurance company. On the second to last day i learned of the air bag recall and called to inform my service advisor of this since at this point i was unaware of the recall. Got a call from him the next morning stating that all of the repairs had be completed and my car was ready...? (sounded fishy to me..) anyhow, i noted that the vehicle was only driven 2 miles in the three weeks it was at the dealership. Needless to say i made it a whole 4 miles before the car started to die and turn off in the middle of the road... Took the car to a near by service center and found that the dealership put 2 times the amount of oil in the car that it is supposed to have which is concerning but what i'm really concerned with is the short amount of time it took to install the new airbag, since the recall department i originally spoke with stated that the parts where still on a national back order? |
