NHTSA Complaint #10519829 — 2006 SUBARU LEGACY

HELLO, I HAD BOUGHT A 2006 SUBARU LEGACY 2.5 GT LIMITED AND I LIVE IN THE HILLS OF WESTERN MA, SO MY CAR SAW 2 WINTERS. COMING BACK FROM BOSTON, MA 14 MILES FROM HOME (OUT OF 135 MILES) AS I WAS ENTERING CHARLMNT I SLOWED DOWN TO 30 MPH. AS I APPROACHED A CORNER WITH A CAR COMING IN MY LANE. I THOUGHT IF I WENT INTO HIS LANE BEST CASE SCENARIO I COULD MAKE IT. BUT WE CLIPPED BACK BUMPERS AND WHEN I PUT MY BRAKES ON THE CAR STARTED GOING FASTER AT THAT TIME I JUST SAID THERE WAS PUDDLE WITH ICE UNDERNEATH. BUT NOW WITH THE RECALL ABOUT THE BRAKE LINES IN CERTAIN STATES BEING RECALLED, THAT MAKES SINCE BECAUSE WHEN I SLAMMED ONTO MY BRAKES THE CAR STARTED TO GO FASTER NOT SLOWING DOWN. I CONTACTED ABOUT THE ACCIDENT [XXX] VP OF SUBARU OF AMERICA OR SOA. ALL HE KEPT ON DOING WAS DENYING ABOUT THIS AND OFFERING $500.00 IF I BOUGHT A NEW SUBARU AND NOW WITH THE RECALL OF THE BRAKES IT MAKES SENSE AND EVEN THE RECALL HE WON'T REPLACE MY VEHICLE IN CLOSING I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT MY SUBARU WAS A LEMON AND AT THE TIME OF ACCIDENT THEY WERE LOOKING FOR A CAR LIKE MINE TO SWAP IT OUT WITH. [XXX] PS: I BET THAT NEVER WILL I FILL INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
