| 2004 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:CRUISE CONTROL | DT: THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING AT 60 MPH ON THE FREEWAY AND THE THROTTLE STUCK. HE USED THE FOOT PEDAL BRAKE AND IT WOULD NOT STOP THE VEHICLE. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE DID SLOW IT DOWN TO APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH. THE RPMS REGISTERED UP TO 8000. HE SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF AFTER IT SLOWED DOWN. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY CHECKED IT AND FOUND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL BUT IT DID NOT INCLUDE THIS VEHICLE DUE TO VIN. THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS THE CRUISE CONTROL CABLE THAT MADE THE THROTTLE STICK. THE VEHICLE IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY.*AK |
| 2005 | VISIBILITY:GLASS, SIDE/REAR | HI, MY WIFE HAS A NEW SUBARU IMPREZA WRX (4000 MILES). A FEW DAYS AGO WHILE SHE WAS DRIVING IT, THE DRIVER?S SIDE WINDOW COMPLETELY SHATTERED. HERS WAS THE ONLY CAR ON THE ROAD AT THE TIME, AND NO VEHICLES HAD RECENTLY COME BY TO KICK UP A STONE. SUBARU ASSUMES SOMETHING EXTERNAL SHATTERED THE WINDOW, SO THAT WE HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR (ABOUT $500, WHICH IS OUR INSURANCE DEDUCTIBLE), BUT WE?RE WONDERING WHETHER A STRUCTURAL DEFECT COULD HAVE CAUSED THE PROBLEM. I WAS WONDERING WHETHER YOU HAD EVER HEARD OF A STRUCTURAL PROBLEM LIKE THIS IN GENERAL, AND FOR SUBARUS IN PARTICULAR. THANK YOU. *AK |
