Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING OUR 2010 SUBARU LEGACY WHICH WE HAD PURCHASED BRAND NEW AND HAS CURRENTLY 95,000 MILES IT STARTED MAKING A LOUD CRUNCHING NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT CENTER WHEEL AREA AND PULLED HARD TO THE LEFT WHEN BREAKING. WE TOOK IT TO OUR MECHANIC AND A CERTIFIED SUBARU REPAIR SHOP AND THEY BOTH INFORMED US THAT IT'S A TOTALLY LOST AND NOT WORTH REPAIRING THAT THE UNDERCARRIAGE IS ROTTED, SPECIFICALLY AN ISSUE WITH THE LEFT TRAVERSE LINK AREA. THIS IS EXTACTLY THE SAME ISSUE SUBARU HAS HAD IN THE PAST WITH OLDER MODELS. WE CALLED SUBARU AND THERE ARE NO RECALLS YET.
