| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: After purchasing my 1999 subaru forester, at 67,000 miles the left rear wheel bearing began to fail. this appears to be a common event judging from the complaints i have researched from various internet sources. instead of recalling the defective parts, subaru has decided to ignore the issue and make the vehicle owners have their defective wheel bearings replaced (with different bearings) at their own expense.*jb |
