@Pearl/It is disappointing to read your review given the significant time that has passed and the efforts that all of us have done to attempt to satisfy you. That included cases that we opened on your behalf with Subaru. Without question, we have worked as hard as we can to assist you with the various issues that you have had - but, certain of the issues were well outside of our ability to assist - as, they were unrelated to anything that would be a matter of warranty. It is obvious from your comments that you are disappointed with everyone associated with the vehicle, including the manufacturer. Subaru closed the case as, they concurred that we made our best efforts to assist you - and, unfortunately, those were to no avail. We wish you the best in the future.
