Consumer Description

JUST LIKE THE JUST RECENT RECALL OF SUBARU'S 2009-2013 FORESTER, MY 1998 FORESTER STEERING RACK AND PINION SYSTEM HAD RUSTED OUT TUBING THAT LEAKED AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT AFTER STEERING JUST WENT OUT. HOW YOUR ORGANIZATION CAN CONTINUE TO ALLOW CAR MANUFACTURES TO USE REGULAR STEEL FOR MANY OF THE PARTS UNDER A CAR (LIKE THE RACK AND PINION, BRAKES, ETC) IS BEYOND ME. THAT SHOULD BE A CRIME BUT OH NO, THE POLITICIAN WILL BUREAUCRATS WILL ALLOW THIS TO GO ON UNTIL A BUNCH OF YOUNG PEOPLE ARE KILLED. THEN YOU MIGHT DO SOMETHING. *TR
