Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)MANY OF THE SUBARU VEHICLES ARE BEING RECALLED BECAUSE OF THE FRONT SUSPENSION - ARM CONTROL - AND I FEEL MY VEHICLE SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL AND IT IS NOT. IT IS A DEFECT IN SO MANY OF THEIR VEHICLES. WHAT CAN I DO TO HAVE SUBARU REIMBURSE ME FOR THIS DEFECT? THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP. *TR
JUNE 2012 - REPLACED FRONT CONTROL ARM BUSHINGS WHICH WERE WORN AFTER ONLY ~80,000 MILES, EARLIER THAN WOULD BE EXPECTED. REAR CONTROL ARM BUSHINGS ARE ALSO WEARING AND WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED. AUGUST 2013 - AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT ON DASHBOARD CAME ON AND STAYED ON WHILE DRIVING WITH A PASSENGER IN THE FRONT SEAT. BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE SHOP WHO INFORMED ME IT WAS A FAULTY MAP LIGHT ASSEMBLY. WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT THIS IS COMMON WITH SUBARU'S WHICH RESEARCH ONLINE CONFIRMED. *JS
