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.
It was around 8:00pm. I was driving in light traffic around 25 mph heading west on alondra bl crossing downey Ave in the city of paramount, when all of a sudden I heard screeching and the rear of the car started swaying side to side. I stepped on the breaks and the rear end of the car started turning to the left going in to the left lane. Cars on the left lane had to slam on the breaks to avoid colliding with me. I was able to slowly pull over to the side of the road. I called a mechanic, after inspecting the car he informed me that the suspension control arm on the rear driver side broke. He also said it could have been a lot worst if I was going faster, I can only imagine what the consequences could have been if I was driving on the freeway. I googled recall 20250xa060 (part number). I don't speak portuguese but it looks to me like that part has been recalled in brazil.
