Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The vehicle started to get rust in the trunk around where the rain water slides down the vehicle. I took the vehicle to the Subaru dealership where I purchased it and tried to claim the manufacturer's 3 year anti corrosion warranty to repair the damage but the Subaru dealership claimed that Subaru of america determined that the rust was caused by outside influences and refused to cover it with the 3 year anti corrosion warranty.”
