| Description of the problem | 2005 subaru is our family has had to have the front axles as one broke going down the highway he as not hurt, but the car was only stopped after i plowed up sn open field. Since vehicle was not under warranty we footed a $1,200 bil. Then weeks later the axle on my 2004 broke as i was driving out of my driveway. That repair also not under warranty cost another 1,200 dollars. We have had to have the wheel bearings replaced all the way around on both vehicles and the ecm replaced on both cars this year. These vehicles have also experienced converter problems and converters were replaced by subaru only after i kept up a running battle and insisted that they were under warranty. |
