“Since the end of 2018, about 6 months after acquiring the vehicle lease, I started to hear noises while driving the car. They sounded like creaky noises you'd hear from a car that was 10+ years old. At first, jim burke Subaru dealership said they did not hear the sound, then after another four or five months went by I decided to take my car in again. It was so loud at that point that they kept my car to work on it. …”
