Front stabilizer/roll bar broke on left side.
Front stabilizer bar broke for seemingly no reason.
Front stabilizer bar broke in half while pull out of a gas station. Driving about 15 mph. This car is only driven on highways/ by ways no off roading. Has 93k on car. Subaru dealer will no give a break on price, part or labor because there is no warranty. I have already found 6 complaints about this on this site.
Front stabilizer bar broke near the right wheel for no apparent reason. I do not know when this occurred. I discovered the broken part hanging down nearly to the ground on January 1, 2005. This has caused the car to handle erratically at higher speeds, and I plan to get it repaired. I called Subaru and they informed me that they would not remedy this safety issue because the car is out of warranty (72,400 miles).
My 2000 Subaru legacy Outback front stabilizer/sway bar broke at both ends simultaneously, at the same location, going downhill on a black top road. An audible "ping" sound occurred when it happened. The dealer replaced the stabilizer/sway bar on December 1st, 2004 at my expense. Subaru refused to pay for the part or labor. This vehicle only has 38k miles on it.
Front sway bar snapped.
Front stabilizer bar broke in two places. Two dealers have said this happens often. Isn't that a safety problem as it affects handling? it broke right after they worked on the front suspension! dt.
