Mikes garage in goshen did my inspection in Oct. Inspecting my car he let me know I needed a serpentine belt because it was cracked and would most likely last 3 months. On Nov 29th I drove home from chester and the car broke down. On Nov 30th I towed it to the mechanic and I rented a car. He told me it was the belt issue and I needed an oil change. Car was ready for pickup on 12/3. on 12/8 the car broke down in middletown and it was towed to Subaru. On 12/10 Subaru told me that the car diagnosis was a blown engine due to no oil. If I wanted to have it completely checked they would charge 1000 to take it apart and properly diagnosis it. I gave them the ok to do so. On 12/17 I went to mikes garage and showed him the estimate from Subaru and asked him what was going to be done on his part. He said he had cameras to see the proper oil change and what was supposed to be reliable for my engine since he did what was supposed to be done. He told me about the recall on my car and that I should look into it. Week of the 17th of December I called Subaru and a case was opened for me. She called me back on December 27th her name was Ms. Quinn and said they couldn't do anything for me because I had taken it to this outside mechanic. They offered me a 500 coupon towards a brand new car. Lol! the first week of Jan I reached out to Subaru again to speak to a mgr. After reviewing the case and reaching out to Subaru he stated that he could not assist because the engine had failed due to no oil per Subaru. He also stated that the recalled part was not broken in my Subaru. At this point I had already spoken to mike who stated he had an engine for me to place in car for 500. I gave him the ok out of desperation. Mike in goshen called Feb 1st to let me know car was done we picked it up on Saturday the 9th and on Tuesday the 12th the car had leaking fluids and currently is not drive-able.

Received a notice about safety recall (NHTSA id 18V-722) involving risk of valve spring failure that could lead to engine stalling and risk of crash. Called our local Subaru dealership in golden, co to have the issue resolved. Was told that the earliest that they could get to it would be may of 2020 (15 months). "too many cars are being recalled at the same time. 150 ahead of us in the queue for this repair." This translates to only 10 recall repairs performed per month. Said that they hope to move us earlier, but no promises were made. No comment about their liability should the failure occur during this over-one-year timeframe while waiting for this safety recall to be performed.

I received an 'important safety recall' notice regarding my vehicle's engine issue that needs to be resolved. Per the instructions on the notice, I called my local dealer to schedule an appointment. Despite the stressed importance of the safety issues regarding this recall in the letter received via mail, the person at the dealership seemed to have no real concern or care for my vehicle's or personal safety, and told me I could go on a waitlist for the next few months as they wait for the parts to come in. I tried discussing my dissatisfaction, worry, and upset with the person at Subaru, but all she said was that I had to wait. So I added my name to the waitlist, and contacted Subaru directly, per the letter's instructions. Same answer from Subaru, claiming that they cannot repair my vehicle because not one single dealership has the parts to do so. I reiterated that this mean I had to hope my car wouldn't have an issue resulting in my personal safety or injury, and they agreed that yes, that's all I can do. Absolutely ridiculous! if there is something dangerous enough about my vehicle that there is a nationwide recall, why is it that there is no rush to get these parts in to service those who have received your 'important safety recall' which states that 'you should immediately contact your Subaru retailer for an appointment to have this important repair preformed' as it is in regards to a 'defect' in the engine of the vehicle that Transport me and my family daily. Absolutely not okay. Good on Subaru for notifying me, but absolutely not okay to have us wait months for a repair on an engine defect and instruct us to just 'hope nothing happens' in the meantime.
