The passenger side frame rusted through. The bolt holding the frame collapsed through the rusted frame while I was driving on the highway and I lost control of my car as I was entering an exit off the highway. My mechanic said the air conditioning system drips on this area of the frame causing the rust and failure of the frame to hold the bolt. There were no warnings prior to the incident except that I heard a popping sound when I took a right turn out of my driveway before heading onto the highway.
The contact owns a 2013 Subaru Legacy. Upon exiting the vehicle, the driver noticed that the driver's seat was wet. Upon further investigation, the driver found a puddle of water under the driver's seat. The vehicle was taken to Subaru of cherry hill (1800 marlton pike w, cherry hill, NJ 08002, (856) 330-1500) where it was diagnosed that the moon-roof drain needed to be cleaned out. The contact stated that the moon-roof drain was cleaned, but the failure recurred several more times over the years. The manufacturer was notified and advised the contact to take the vehicle to another Subaru dealer for diagnostic testing. The failure mileage was approximately 10,000.
As I drove my vehicle into a parking space with a concrete bumper at the head, just as it was ready to stop, it suddenly lunged forward over the concrete bumper and finally came to a stop when the back wheels made contact with the concrete bumper and the ignition was turned off. A very frightening experience. Am not comfortable driving this car for fear of another similar occurrence.
