| I bought a new 2010 subaru and it makes an abnormal noise. i have had it in to be repaired and was told there is not fix to the problem. purchased 8/19/09 from shortline subaru. i have discussed with subaru of america and they have no date to fix this problem and have not acknowledged there my certified letter to them. they told me this is a widespread problem and there is no notification to the public of this and i think the public deserves to know they are selling a defective car. *tr | |||
