Your Story:
I just had my car up at my local Subaru dealer because my breaks pulsating badly. I figured that they were warped and should get them fixed, the guy at the service dept. said the same thing and everything was covered under warranty. Well, I just got a phone call from them saying that the rear rotors are extremely bad and the front ones were scorned, requiring all 4 rotors and pads to be replaced.

They are claiming that this doesn't happen with normal driving, its from "excessive driving or abusive driving". What??? This is a show car, I BABY this thing! It has NEVER seen a race track, never been driven hard and I am the only one that has driven it, to and from work, and the occasional car show. Its a show car, I don't abuse it. They are refusing to replace the rotors and brakes as a warranty claim, and it will cost me over $900 to replace them out of pocket. Mind you that this denial is coming from their service dept manager, and not from SOA, however the manager is a rep of SOA being that he works there, so I'm guessing thats the same thing.

I am so pissed, what can I do??? Please help!
