Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Rear struts on my 2005 subaru impreza have blown tree times since vehicle purchase in june 2005. subaru has changed the pn# to an updated part number but refuse to replace again stating my vehicle mileage has surpassed their warranty limitation. this is known defect with many documented cases. subaru is aware of the issue and has issued an updated part to remedy the situation. defective struts are a safety concern and can cause an accident and or death. a strut should not be defective three times in a little over a year on a brand new car. *nm
