NHTSA Complaint #10816534 — 2015 SUBARU FORESTER

I HAVE HAD SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHERE THE WHEEL LUGS HAVE SNAPPED WHILE THE WHEELS WERE REMOVED FOR TIRE REPLACEMENT, ROTATION AND REPLACEMENT OF BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS. I HAVE ALSO HAD THE BRAKE CALIPER RETAINER BOLTS SNAP WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION SO THAT THE REAR BRAKES ON THE VEHICLE WERE NEXT TO INOPERABLE AS ONLY A PORTION OF THE BRAKE PAD CAME IN CONTACT WITH THE ROTOR. THE DEALER DID NOT MAKE ANY ATTEMPT TO RESOLVE OR REPAIR THE BRAKE ROTORS OR PADS UNDER WARRANTY WHEN THIS HAPPENED. WHAT MADE IT MORE OF AN ISSUE WAS THE THE LOCAL DEALER DIDNT HAVE THESE PARTS ON HAND AND GAVE ME THE SPECS FOR THE BOLT TO PURCHASE FROM THE LOCAL HARDWARE STORE. THESE NEW BOLTS HAVE HELD.
