Consumer Description

MY CAR WAS AT MY MECHANICS GETTING LOOKED AT. HE NOTICED THE LOWER FRONT CONTROL ARM BRACKETS WERE CORRODED (THE PASSENGER SIDE IS SEVERELY CORRODED), TOLD ME ABOUT IT AND STRESSED THAT I NEEDED TO TAKE IT TO A DEALERSHIP ASAP TO HAVE IT REPLACED. WHEN I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP, THEY CONFIRMED THE RECALL FOR MY CAR, MENTIONED THE SERVICE HAD ALREADY BEEN PERFORMED (BY THE PREVIOUS OWNER) AND SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT. THE DEALER ENDED UP TAKING PICTURES OF THE LOWER FRONT CONTROL ARMS AND SENDING THEM TO SUBARU OF AMERICA FOR APPROVAL TO REPAIR/REPLACE THE AFFECTED PARTS. THE RECALL SERVICE WAS PERFORMED, HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM CAME BACK. *TR
