Description of the problem	On may 15th, while driving on a city street, dashboard warning lights came on indicating "brake" and "check engine". Took it to a subaru dealer in berlin ct who found the following: "trouble code p0171/system to lean bank 1, fault traced and found vacuum leak around brake booster check valve. Vacuum valve cracked. Recommend replacing brake booster assembly". This vehicle has only 39,120 miles. This part is well protected within the engine area. Service repair described the part as a small plastic piece and stated he's never seen this happen before. To my way of thinking, the part had to be defective when the engine was built. Car was never in an accident and has always been maintained by subaru dealers. Cost is a little over $700. 00. I have the work order if you need it; but the wording above is directly from the order. Is there a way to start an investigation showing this is a manufacturers fault? Is there any way i can force subaru to pay for this?
