Mikes garage in goshen did my inspection in oct. Inspecting my car he let me know I needed a serpentine belt because it was cracked and would most likely last 3 months. On Nov 29th I drove home from chester and the car broke down. On Nov 30th I towed it to the mechanic and I rented a car. He told me it was the belt issue and I needed an oil change. Car was ready for pickup on 12/3. On 12/8 the car broke down in middletown and it was towed to Subaru. On 12/10 Subaru told me that the car diagnosis was a blown engine due to no oil. If I wanted to have it completely checked they would charge 1000 to take it apart and properly diagnosis it. I gave them the ok to do so. On 12/17 I went to mikes garage and showed him the estimate from Subaru and asked him what was going to be done on his part. He said he had cameras to see the proper oil change and what was supposed to be reliable for my engine since he did what was supposed to be done. He told me about the recall on my car and that I should look into it. Week of the 17th of December I called Subaru and a case was opened for me. She called me back on December 27th her name was ms. Quinn and said they couldn't do anything for me because I had taken it to this outside mechanic. They offered me a 500 coupon towards a brand new car. Lol! the first week of Jan I reached out to Subaru again to speak to a mgr. After reviewing the case and reaching out to Subaru he stated that he could not assist because the engine had failed due to no oil per Subaru. He also stated that the recalled part was not broken in my Subaru. At this point I had already spoken to mike who stated he had an engine for me to place in car for 500. I gave him the ok out of desperation. Mike in goshen called Feb 1st to let me know car was done we picked it up on Saturday the 9th and on Tuesday the 12th the car had leaking fluids and currently is not drive-able.

The contact owns a 2002 Subaru Impreza. When the contact started the vehicle, there was a burning oil odor. When the accelerator pedal was depressed, the rear of the vehicle began to emit a loud vibrating noise. The contact took the vehicle to a certified mechanic who diagnosed that the exhaust from the convector rear muffler, gasket bolt, and dry belt needed to be replaced. In addition, the front subframe was rotted and the head gaskets were fractured, which caused an oil leak. All the parts needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failures. The approximate failure mileage was 75,000.

2012 Impreza. . . Bought new, nothing but headaches. All problems listed below occurred before I had even owned the car 2 years. 1. At 8-10k miles - while driving car would randomly turn off passenger airbags and illuminate no passenger seatbelt on the dash. Took car to dealer 3 times. Dealer refused to fix as the "error was not stored in the computer. " suggested cell phone was the problem even though cell phones were not near the seat during each of the multiple incidents. I had to complain to corporate who told the dealer to replace the sensor in the seat. No problems since. 2. At 15k miles - multiple times car would turn on check engine light and traction control light simultaneously. First incident dealer said "dirty camshaft sensor. " second incident I had to refuse to take the car back until they actually fixed a part. Dealer kept car a whole week and made calls to corporate engineers. Tests revealed it was a "failed oil pressure valve. " replaced the part and no more problems. 3. At 25k miles - bad battery. Had to replace when car was only 1 year and 10 months old.
