Consumer Description

VEHICLE IN GARAGE, WITNESSED LOAD EXPLOSION. UPON INVESTIGATION FOUND LEFT REAR OF VEHICLE SAGGING WITH PIECE OF COIL SPRING BELOW VEHICLE. THIS IS PART OF A RECALL THAT IS NOT CONSIDERED A SAFETY ISSUE BASED ON THE LETTER SENT TO US BY SUBARU WHICH QUOTES "PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS POTENTIAL DAMAGE TO THE REAR COIL SPRING DOES NOT AFFECT THE SAFE OPERATION OF YOUR VEHICLE". THIS CLEARLY WOULD HAVE IMPACTED THE ABILITY TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE IN THE EVENT IT OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING, AND CERTAINLY COULD HAVE RESULTED IN FATAL CRASH AT HIGHWAY SPEED.
