In March 2013 an authorized Subaru service department noted there was a recall (49 cfr part 573. 6) for puddle lights on my car and ordered the parts. This is noted in my file at the service department. They were going to call me when the parts came in. That did not happen. Now my puddle lights have failed and the short makes it so many more features in my car do not work (interior lights, gauges and key fob (currently use the same fuse). For some reason my VIN does not show on the recall look up, but it fits the VIN range as well as make, model and year. Is it possible that Subaru can skirt the recall, if the puddle lights were installed at the dealership at time of purchase and not at the factory (same part, authorized service department, new car)? this appears to be the case. To date, Subaru USA has offered to pay half the cost the repair ($881) in the interest of 'customer satisfaction' and not per the recall (sr1-30211430901). My local michael's Subaru in bellevue washington (service advisor kevin moore) has not offered anything and had made few efforts, if any, to contact me with status. I feel the bellevue service department dropped the ball 5 years ago when it would gave been easier to address (new recall and newer car - 67,000 miles). The problem was first noted in December 2017 when the key fob stopped working. That was tracked to a short in one of the puddle lights. I am trying to understand if this part should be covered by a recall and if this might also be related to the magnuson-moss warranty act even though thus a a recall.
On approximately 04/13/2014 approximately at 6:00 pm et, my suburu Outback 2010 rapidly accelerated when my foot was centered on the brake petal and I moved the gear from neutral to drive. The vehicle lurched forward, engine highly revved. I pushed hard as possible on the brake and shoved the gear back into neutral. The engine was racing and I switched off the power. I powered back up and the temperature gauge, gas mileage calculator, etc. Was out. The ac/heat temperature and control screen was out. The fan control only would work and put out extreme heat. The outside mirror motors would not work. For the next 30 minutes on the way home I stopped several times and experienced the same electrical conditions upon restart. On April 14, 2014, all systems were normal when I started the engine. I took it to the dealer was told they would replace the switch (keys) but had no information on rapid acceleration out of control. I am concerned this will happen again and result in wreck and/or injury to myself and/or others. No mats were in the car at time of incident.
