Consumer Description
CAR WAS NOT MOVING AND SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY. WHEN I NOTICED THE LEFT REAR BODY FRAME LOW, ALMOST TOUCHING THE TIRE. LOOKED UNDER CAR AND FOUND BROKEN SPRING PIECES, THAT WAS TOTALLY RUSTED INSIDE OUT. THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN TO A 4 YEAR OLD CAR WITH ONLY 38K MILES. I WAS VERY LUCKY NOT DRIVING THE WHEN THIS FAILURE HAPPEN OR IT COULD OF LEAD TO A MAJOR ACCIDENT. I ALSO FOUND OUT THOUGH THE INTERNET THIS IS NOT A ONE TIME PROBLEM SUBARU IS HAVING WITH THESE SPRINGS BREAKING. I BELIEVE IT'S A MANUFACTURED MATERIAL DEFECT THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY BEFORE SOME ONE GETS INJURED! ALSO THE COST SHOULD BE BE HANDLED BY SUBARU..
