Consumer Description

TURBO CHARGER AND ENGINE BLOWN WITH 63,000 MILES. HAPPENED ON A FREEWAY WHILE TRAVELING AT A STEADY (NOT ACCELERATING OR DECELERATING) 45 MPH. PURCHASED EXTENDED WARRANTY FROM DEALERSHIP AT TIME OF PURCHASE, BUT AM TOLD THAT THEY WILL NOT COVER THE DAMAGES BECAUSE I CHANGED THE OIL (FULL SYNTHETIC) MYSELF AT THE TIME OF LAST OIL CHANGE, WHILE I WAS DOING A BRAKE JOB. IT TOOK THE DEALERSHIP OVER TWO WEEKS TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM AND WAS NOT INITIALLY GIVEN A RENTAL OR LOANER. AFTER CONTACTING SUBARU OF AMERICA, I WAS APPROVED FOR A RENTAL FOR 3 DAYS, BUT HAD TO RETURN THE CAR AFTER THAT TIME PERIOD. IT HAS NOW BEEN MORE THAN A MONTH AND A HALF, AND I STILL DO NOT HAVE MY VEHICLE, OR A RENTAL. *TR
