Name: Alex

Make: 05 Forester XT

Mileage: 185,001

Time Out Of Use: 1 week (and counting)

Problem And Likely Cause: cracked subframe, caused by corrosion?

Modifications: turbo inlet, phenolic spacers, hood struts

Submitted For Warranty Work (Yes/No): No, out of warranty

Reason Given For Denial: Milage and being out of warranty

Your Story: Brought in to dealer for an alignment, found a cracked subframe and recommended I didn't drive it like that. E-mailed SOA with repair quote and they said they'd gladly give me a discount toward a new Subaru but wont give me anything because of milage. Got it inspected 7 months and 3,000 summer miles ago and passed without a bad mark, no crack spotted by me or the tech. I get the whole milage thing, but the rest of the car is in good shape and nothing like this is showing anywhere else. For a crack to show up after 3K miles when the car has had 182K put on before it without issue is weird to me.
