Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)THIS CAR WAS SHAKING AT A SPEED OF 60 MILES. AFTER TAKING IT TO CHECK IN SEATTLE'S CARTER SUBARU WASHINGTON FIVE TIMES, THE CAR BECAME VIBRATING AT A SPEED OF 40 MILES. A DAY AFTER IT DEPARTURE, IT WAS SHIPPED TO TAMPA FLORIDA BECAUSE OF MY UNIVERSITY. UPON RECEIPT THE CAR WAS OIL-FREE, AND ALL THE SAFETY LIGHTS WERE CAUGHT. THE CAR STARTED TO VIBRATE, AND THERE WAS NO LONGER ENOUGH CAPACITY TO PUSH AND THE TIRES BEGAN TO FALL. MASTRO SUBARU REFUSED TO FIX THE PROBLEM EXCEPT BY PAYING MONEY. AFTER RESEARCH, I DISCOVERED THAT THIS CAR IS NOT THE ONLY ONE AND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN ALL CARS OF THIS TYPE. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THERE IS MANY RECALLS IN THIS CAR ONE OF THEM IT IS (VDC) VEHICLE DYNAMIC CONTROL. NOW THE CAR SO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE, I PARKED THE CAR AND NO MONEY TO DO ANYTHING. PLEASE I NEED HELP , I HAVE THREE KIDS.
THE ENGINE STARTED TO MAKE WEIRD NOISES THEN WE LOST POWER STEERING. *TR
IT WAS AROUND 8:00PM. I WAS DRIVING IN LIGHT TRAFFIC AROUND 25 MPH HEADING WEST ON ALONDRA BL CROSSING DOWNEY AVE IN THE CITY OF PARAMOUNT, WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN I HEARD SCREECHING AND THE REAR OF THE CAR STARTED SWAYING SIDE TO SIDE. I STEPPED ON THE BREAKS AND THE REAR END OF THE CAR STARTED TURNING TO THE LEFT GOING IN TO THE LEFT LANE. CARS ON THE LEFT LANE HAD TO SLAM ON THE BREAKS TO AVOID COLLIDING WITH ME. I WAS ABLE TO SLOWLY PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I CALLED A MECHANIC, AFTER INSPECTING THE CAR HE INFORMED ME THAT THE SUSPENSION CONTROL ARM ON THE REAR DRIVER SIDE BROKE. HE ALSO SAID IT COULD HAVE BEEN A LOT WORST IF I WAS GOING FASTER, I CAN ONLY IMAGINE WHAT THE CONSEQUENCES COULD HAVE BEEN IF I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. I GOOGLED RECALL 20250XA060 (PART NUMBER). I DON'T SPEAK PORTUGUESE BUT IT LOOKS TO ME LIKE THAT PART HAS BEEN RECALLED IN BRAZIL. *TR
