MAY OF 2017 I WAS DRIVING NORTH BOUND ON 294. AS I WAS GOING THROUGH THE CURVE THE POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON THE CAR WOULDN'T TURN BACK. I STOP AND WAS ABLE TO PULL THE CAR OFF THE ROAD WITH NO INCIDENT. I CALLED SIS IT'S A D ASKED IF WAS A SAFETY RECALL. I WAS TOLD NO. I THEN HAD THEM TO THE CAR TO SUBARU OF AMERICA IN ORLAND PARK IL. WHEN THE CAR WAS FROSTED TOLD I WAS TOLD THE CAR WOULD BE FIX IT WAS COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE POWER STEERING MOTOR. SUBARU OF AMERICA THEN CONTACTED ME SAYING THE CAR WAS INVOLVED IN ACCIDENT SO IT WOULDN'T BE FIXED. ONCE THEY FOUND OUT I WAS BLACK. I FILED A BETTER BUSINESS REPORT SUBARU STILL DENIED THE CLAIM TELLING TO USE MY INSURANCE MY INSUWPULDNT PAY SAID IT DEFECT PART. SUBARU FAILED TO EXAMINE THE UNDERLYING PROBLEM BEFORE DENYING THE CLAIM. SUBARU IMMEDIATELY BLAMED ME BUT NEVER CHECKING THE PROBLEM. ONCE I RECEIVED THE CAR BACK. IT WAS IN WORST CONDITION. THE CAR CANE BACK IN WORST CONDITIONS BUMPER PEELING FENDER SMASHED. I WAS TOLD THAT WAS MY FAULT THE CAR CAME BACK WORST. THAT INTERFERED WITH THE OTHER THINGS IN WARRANTY BEING REPAIRED L WAS DIAGNOSED WITH BIG C. IN 2017 NOW BACK TO OK HEALTH I CAN PROCEED WITH PROCESS. I RENTED CARS FOR A YEAR AND THEN EVENTUALLY BROUGHT ONE. I NEED SUBARU TO REPAIR THE CAR I WANT TO KEEP IT.
