Frame Rust Problems of Subaru Outback

The front subframe rusted through, causing loud scraping noises when turning. This car has about 92000 miles on it and is less than ten years old. Repair shop determined the car was undriveable as this part supports the engine and transmission. Repair shop also said they have seen this failure on other vehicles, specifically Subaru and Mazda.

I contacted Subaru's customer service number and told them that the subframe was broken and that they needed to fix the problem and they said I would have to pay out of pocket and that the recall was completed in August 2005 but the subframe is completely rusted out and broken please contact Subaru and get them to open another recall on these cars because the fix that they used didn't work.
