Front stabilizer bar broke in half while pull out of a gas station. Driving about 15 mph. This car is only driven on highways/ by ways no off roading. Has 93K on car. Subaru dealer will no give a break on price, part or labor because there is no warranty. I have already found 6 complaints about this on this site.
Front stabilizer bar broke near the right wheel for no apparent reason. I do not know when this occurred. I discovered the broken part hanging down nearly to the ground on January 1, 2005. This has caused the car to handle erratically at higher speeds, and I plan to get it repaired. I called Subaru and they informed me that they would not remedy this safety issue because the car is out of warranty (72,400 miles).
My 2000 Subaru legacy Outback front stabilizer/sway bar broke at both ends simultaneously, at the same location, going downhill on a black top road. An audible "ping" sound occurred when it happened. The dealer replaced the stabilizer/sway bar on December 1st, 2004 at my expense. Subaru refused to pay for the part or labor. This vehicle only has 38K miles on it.
