Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The tack that is in place to hold the driver's side mat in place does not work. the mat continuously falls off the tack. i first made the dealership aware of it and could find nothing to fix. we looked at other subarus and they all had the same issue. i recently communicated this to subaru via their web site with little interest on their part. the problem occurs when the mat slips off the tack it runs up into the pedals. this means the floating tack could actually cause more problems then not having one there at all. our other car (honda) had a tack that is firmly placed in the floorboard not tacked to the carpet only and as a result it does not have a problem.*ak
