Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	I recently experienced a steering rack failure due to leaking seals on the gear assembly on my certified pre-owned 2017 subaru sti. The power steering failed to operate both in motion on the highway and at slow speeds in a parking lot and local streets. The loss of power steering assist makes it extremely difficult to safely control and change of direction for the vehicle. Based on my experience and that of many others i know in the subaru community this is a common failure point on the last two generations of these cars. I would like to know why subaru continues to ignore this potentially dangerous part failure and has done nothing to help owners like myself when the issue occurs.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
