Owner Complaints (2)
Your rear driver's side wheel came off while driving on a steep mountain road in California, forcing you to pull over on a dangerous embankment. You suspect the wheel wasn't properly tightened during a safety inspection at a Subaru dealer in Montana, and your spare tire was also flat despite being checked. The incident caused damage to the wheel well area and broke your muffler, which the local Subaru dealer has refused to repair.
