Description of the problem | In 2018 a new law went into effect requiring all new cars cone with rear backup cameras. The subaru starlink infotainment system that is on all new subarus are defective, buggy, and subaru has no permanent fix. It renders the rear camera unoperable, replacements are on backorder and subaru makes owners continue to drive their card when it is unsafe and not following the new law for 2018 cars. I want subaru to fix this safety issue and provide affected owners with loaner cars while waiting for a fix/replacement. |
