Consumer Description
IN APRIL 2019, I BROUGHT MY 2013 SUBARU BRZ TO THE SUBARU DEALERSHIP FOR VALVE SPRING RECALL. ABOUT 5 MONTHS LATER WHILE I'M DRIVING HOME FROM WORK, MY CAR MAKING LOUD KNOCKING NOISE AND VIBRATE AGGRESSIVELY. I'M VERY FORTUNATE THAT I MAKE IT HOME SAFE. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, I FOUND OUT I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE HAD ENGINE FAILURE AFTER VALVE SPRING RECALL DONE. I TOW MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT WILL COST $1800 TO TEAR MY ENGINE APART AND CHECK FOR PROBLEM. I CALLED SUBARU CORPORATE AND THEY SAID THIS IS WORKMANSHIP ISSUE AND I NEED TO DEAL WITH THE DEALERSHIP. NOW I'M STUCK WITH A DEAD CAR. MY CAR WAS PERFECTLY FUNCTION BEFORE THE RECALL DONE. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE.
