Legacy 4-cyl

  • 109,339 miles
I bought this 2013 Subaru Legacy limited on June 12,2019 and a week later the emergency brake light and cruise control did not work and the lights were on the dashboard. I brought the car to a Subaru dealer in wilmington, nc and was told that it needed the control panel for the emergency brake which effects the cruise control. This same problem is a current recall in Subaru Legacy manual transmission and I feel that there should be a recall with the automatic transmission as well since my car is affected by the same problem. The car was just out of warranty and just over 100,000 miles. The repair is over $1200 and it is just not right that this has happened and it is not a recall. Please issue a recall for this same problem as the manual transmissions on the automatic transmissions. I can be reached at [xxx]. thank you, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

#1 since the vehicle was purchased I had to add at least one quart of oil to the engine between each recommended oil change. I informed the dealer who had me return approx 1300 miles after my last oil change, which I did. The dealer indicated to me that the oil level was fine. By 3,700 miles the oil warning light came on and I had to add a quart of oil. #2 since the vehicle was purchased I had to turn the rotors or purchase new rotors every 6 month. When you try to stop the braking system has extensive shaking when braking. It makes the car hard to stop when the shaking occurs. When you turn the rotors the shaking goes away but will return in about 4 to 6 months.

My mechanic told me there was a recall on older Legacy's like 2010-2012 about the brake lines. He went on to check my brake lines (with my car on a lift) and saw they were completely rusted out and swollen. Also, for some reason when I'm driving, my car pulls to one side or the other, specifically on the highway. I cannot drive straight or let go of the steering wheel or else it'll pull me off the road. My mechanic has already looked everything over and said everything was good. So I'm not sure where the problem is but it's with the steering.
