![]() He made that decision based on Consumer Reports and reviews. That is why my Dad purchased it, instead of a Toyota, and gave it to me. When this vehicle was purchased it was the #1 vehicle in safety and quality. Seriously, USAA had to tell me there was a recall, not Subaru. I bring my vehicle there regularly to have maintenance, it is the only place I take my vehicle, so why would they not tell me about the recall or at least check for one? I was told my vehicle had a recall on it by my insurance company. I never received any notification about a recall, not in the mail and not by anyone at the dealership. Every single one of them told me there was nothing wrong.Īlso, why do I have to go to the dealership and ask them about a brake light switch recall on the vehicle. Of course Subaru service personnel did not mention to me the oil consumption issue or the lawsuit until after my vehicle was over 100k miles. I mean seriously, why was I not notified of the oil consumption issue these vehicles have? Why was I being told "that's normal" to be adding oil when obviously it is not. I feel like I have been misled from the beginning. If I have to add oil between regular vehicle maintenance, that means the costs due to excessive oil consumption adds up in addition to the expense of the routine oil changes. If a car burns oil early in its life, as mine has, it will burn even more as it ages. Any engine that burns oil between changes should be addressed and fixed at the automaker's expense, not the consumers. What is sad is that Subaru is not addressing the full problem as they should because if I, as a consumer, had known of this issue I never would have owned a Subaru. Having to add oil and be vigilant about monitoring my oil levels is a serious problem. It is a serious safety concern for myself. So we make sure the vehicle is in top shape because I do not want to be stuck on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere with no help in sight. ![]() ![]() I drive over 2 hours a day and once a month I drive to other states, sometimes across country to the East Coast. We take very good care of this vehicle and make sure all maintenance is done on a regular basis. ![]()
