Consumer Description

I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR INSPECTION, THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT BOTH REAR COIL SPRINGS WERE BROKEN. BOTH REAR STRUT ASSEMBLIES HAD TO BE REPLACED. ACCORDING TO THIS LINK, THIS ISSUE WAS THE SUBJECT OF A RECALL IN JAPAN LAST YEAR: HTTPS://WWW.TORQUENEWS.COM/1084/ANOTHER-HUGE-RECALL-SUBARU-FORESTER-AND-CROSSTREK-COMING I CANNOT FIND A DIRECT LINK TO THE JAPANESE TRANSPORTATION MINISTRY RECALL, BUT THIS APPEARS TO BE SOMEWHAT COMMON, AND IS UNUSUAL FOR A 5 YEAR OLD VEHICLE. I HAVE ATTACHED THE INVOICE FOR THE REPAIRS, I DID NOT GET PHOTOS OF THE DAMAGED PARTS, BUT THE MECHANIC MIGHT BE ABLE TO ELABORATE IF HE WERE CONTACTED.*DT*JB *TR
