NHTSA Complaint #10227970 — 2007 SUBARU LEGACY

THE FIRST TIME MY OIL RETURN LINE CRACKED AND LEAKED IT STARTED A SMALL FIRE UNDER THE HOOD. THIS IS BECAUSE MY DEALER TOLD ME TO KEEP DRIVING AND MAKE A APPT. A FEW DAYS DOWN THE LINE. LINE GETS REPLACED AND ABOUT 11 MONTHS LATER THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPENS. OIL RETURN LINE CRACKS OIL DRIPPING ONTO THE HOT EXHAUST AND MAKING TONS OF SMOKE. LINE IS REPLACED AGAIN. TWO WEEKS LATER SAME PROBLEM SAME OIL LINE AND ITS CRACKED AGAIN. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AMONG THESE PARTS AND A DESIGN FLAW AS WELL. *TR
