| Description of the problem | We are experiencing chronic headlight, taillight and brake light burn out issues. We have had the right headlight replaced twice and the left headlight replaced once as well as the taillight and break lights replaced once since november of 2012. We do not live on a bumpy road or have any other odd driving conditions. We drive our car only on normal paved roads in a suburban environment. Our subaru dealer has not been able to resolve this problem. We believe this is a major safety issue as we never know when the lights are going to burn out. |
