Consumer Description

MY CAR JUST TURNED 17000 MILES. I BOUGHT IT NEW IN 2011. IT IS GARAGED WHENEVER NOT IN USE AND HAVE PHOTOS OF IT IN THE GARAGE. THE MUFFLER AND EXHAUST SYSTEM ARE RUSTING VERY BADLY. I WASH THE CAR REGULARLY WHEN DIRTY. THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING - THERE MUST BE A DEFECT IN THE TYPE OF MATERIALS USED. I FIRST NOTICED THIS BACK IN JUNE AND IT IS GETTING WORSE. THIS SHOULD BE REPLACED BY SUBARU - I SHOULDN'T NEED A NEW MUFFLER/EXHAUST SYSTEM ON A NEW CAR IN LESS THAN 20,000 MILES! I HAVE TAKEN PHOTOS OF THE PROBLEM THAT I CAN PROVIDE IF REQUESTED. *TR
