| Description of the problem | Display panel shut down, completely dark, disabled are radio, gps, navigation and most importantly the back up camera. The dealership admits they are seeing quite a few of these and a new radio to repair the problem will take 3 months to arrive, no guarantee this will fix the problem. So i will be without a backup camera, deemed critical enough that it is mandated on all new cars for one quarter of the year. I also assume if not fixed by my next state safety inspection i will not be allowed to drive the car. So far i have received nothing from subaru. This looks a pretty big safety issue being swept under the rug. |
