This car was shaking at a speed of 60 miles. After taking it to check in seattle's carter Subaru washington five times, the car became vibrating at a speed of 40 miles. A day after it departure, it was shipped to tampa florida because of my university. Upon receipt the car was oil-free, and all the safety lights were caught. The car started to vibrate, and there was no longer enough capacity to push and the tires began to fall. Mastro Subaru refused to fix the problem except by paying money. After research, I discovered that this car is not the only one and that this is a common problem in all cars of this type. The problem is that there is many recalls in this car one of them it is (vdc) vehicle dynamic control. Now the car so dangerous to drive, I parked the car and no money to do anything. Please I need help , I have three kids.
Tl- the contact owns a 2008 Subaru Tribeca. The contact stated that the vehicle had an extreme vibration and that the suspension was unstable in the front and the rear. The contact had difficulty driving the vehicle over 15 mph. The independent mechanic balanced the tires and the failure continued. The independent mechanic had been unable to replicate and diagnose the failure so they provided no solution as the condition continued to get worse. The vehicle was taken to a dealer (Subaru dealer in seattle, wa, dealer address and dealer phone number not provided) for further inspection and diagnosis to determine the failure. The contact was uncertain if an independent mechanic and the dealer may be able to provide a remedy which was a serious safety concern for the contact. The vehicle was not repaired. The VIN was not available. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was not available. Dyd.

I was driving 70 mph on the right most northbound lane of I-75 at mile marker 452 in florida. The road had become wet from recent rain. The rear of my car suddenly started fishtailing to the right. The fishtail evolved into full-blown counterclockwise spins which took the car all the way to the guardrail in the middle shoulder. The impact resulted in the car being totaled. I believe a defect with the abs, electronic stability control system or the all wheel drive caused the accident. The road was perfectly straight, and I didn't apply the brakes or make any sudden steering changes. I reported the incident to Subaru and asked for an investigation of the wrecked car. Despite three letters and a complete report, the company refused to inspect the car.
