problem #1

Jul 072010

Legacy

  • 25,000 miles
Vehicle has a substandard poorly functioning air conditioning system. It has a defect whereby it cycles erratically and thereby creates warm/cold/warm/cold air cycles. On hot humid days, the problem is so bad, the cabin cannot cool. The manufacturer, Subaru of America has determined this is a "normal characteristic of the vehicle" although it took them over a month to come to this conclusion. Many other Subaru Legacy owners report this same problem online, however no fix seems to be coming. The manufacturer needs to correct this problem.
