| Description of the problem | Takata recall - also, wiper motor safety recall. I've attempted to work with subaru to get these two recalls addressed, and made two phone calls in early april, and after being told to wait and be contacted by an approved dealership, there was no follow-up and no appointment set. After several weeks of waiting i contacted subaru again, this time through email on may 20th, and was again told to wait to be contacted by the closest approved dealership, which is more than 40 miles away in my case. Throughout the process, subaru has made no attempt to accommodate the distance or time required to perform the repair. Still, i've done as they asked and waited to be contacted by my closest approved dealership (chatham parkway subaru), and again there was no follow-up. I've been attempting to get these recalls addressed since april 4th, and have grown increasingly frustrated with how difficult its been to get their attention. I do not know if this is the appropriate avenue to file such a complaint, but i'm unsure of exactly what options are available to me at this point. I just want to have two safety recalls repaired. |
