The car was wobbly and went in for service and they found one rear strut the technician took it for a drive and the other one broke on him. It costs me $1390 to fix it and i drove it on the highway and it still wobbly. Subaru does not want to acknowledge the fact there is a major issue with this vehicle. This should have been recalled by subaru when they knew about this. This car also had rotors that needed to be…

Bullet-end of parking brake cable came off, allowing brake drums to fall loose and tumble inside the right rear wheel at highway speed, just as i was slowing for a rest stop. Repair cost $545; i have documents but can't scan them at the moment -- if they matter, i can copy and mail them.

Probably caused by the bad control arm bushings. At 44k the control arm bushings were bad again. This caused a severe loss of control of the car in slick conditions. This time the dealer replaced both of the control arm…

I have had several occasions where the wheel lugs have snapped while the wheels were removed for tire replacement, rotation and replacement of brake pads and rotors. I have also had the brake caliper retainer bolts snap while the vehicle was in motion so that the rear brakes on the vehicle were next to inoperable as only a portion of the brake pad came in contact with the rotor. The dealer did not make any attempt…
