 My car just turned 17000 miles. i bought it new in 2011. it is garaged whenever not in use and have photos of it in the garage. the muffler and exhaust system are rusting very badly. i wash the car regularly when dirty. this should not be happening - there must be a defect in the type of materials used. i first noticed this back in june and it is getting worse. this should be replaced by subaru - i shouldn't need a new muffler/exhaust system on a new car in less than 20,000 miles! i have taken photos of the problem that i can provide if requested. *tr
