JULY 30 RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR PASSENGER AIRBAG IN 2006 SUBARU IMPREZA. I HAVE CALLED SUBARU AT LEAST 5 TIMES TO ASK WHEN PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE. EACH TIME I CALL SUBARU TO CHECK ON PARTS I GET A DIFFERENT ANSWER AS TO WHEN PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE. IN JULY, I WAS TOLD 6-8 WEEKS. AFTER 8 WEEKS, I WAS TOLD THAT PARTS WOULD BE SHOWING UP IN 1-2 WEEKS (AT THE END OF SEPTEMBER). AT THE END OF SEPTEMBER, I WAS TOLD PARTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE SOMETIME BETWEEN SEPTEMBER AND FEBRUARY. WHEN I CALLED A WEEK LATER, I WAS TOLD PARTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE AT THE END OF SEPTEMBER. I DIDN'T HEAR FROM ANYONE SO I CALLED AT THE BEGINNING OF OCTOBER, WHEN I WAS TOLD PARTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE IN FEBRUARY. IT HAS ALREADY BEEN OVER 12 WEEKS SINCE I RECEIVED THE RECALL AND HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DRIVE WITH ANYONE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT OF MY CAR. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT NHTSA IS DOING TO ASSIST IN GETTING THESE CARS REPAIRED.

THE REAR WHEEL BEARINGS EMIT A LOW PITCH NOISE THAT INCREASES IN AMPLITUDE WITH SPEED. THE NOISE HAS BEEN GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE, TO THE POINT WHERE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, IT IS DIFFICULT TO HOLD A CONVERSATION WITH ANYONE SITTING IN THE BACK SEAT. I AM TOLD THERE IS A WHEEL BEARING RECALL FOR A DIFFERENT MODEL SUBARU OF THIS SAME MODEL YEAR, BUT THE SUBARU DEALERSHIP SAYS IT DOES NOT INCLUDE MY VIN. THEY ESTIMATE THE REPAIR AT $850.
