problem #1

Jul 202007

Impreza 4-cyl

  • Manual transmission
  • 12,000 miles
I hit a bear at 55mph with the cruise control on. The bear leaped off the bank in directly in front of the vehicle. The crash that resulted in the bear being killed instantly, about 600 lbs. Of bear. The car came to an instant halt with the front end being pushed back, lights, grille, fender, hood, ect. No air bags deployed. After calling Subaru of America, I was advised to let my insurance handle it, but after much argument was assigned a case number of 1020805 by Subaru. This is not a insurance problem, this is Subaru problem. The vehicle was towed back to first team in roanoke Virginia and the collision shop advised me to contact Subaru.
