AI Highlights
  • - Subaru confirmed Forester is in the settlement.
  • - Jeff Price said no free oil changes; I wasn't eligible.
  • - Dean family intervened; Subaru confirmed.

I called Subaru to confirm my 2014 Subaru Forester was part of this settlement. Yep you are covered they said.

They did not clear it with the Service Manager at Dean Team though, Jeff Price, let me know that they were not in the business of giving away free oil changes and I'm not eligible. Well that wasn't a good start so I asked him to call Subaru to confirm this is part of a SETTLEMENT. He wouldn't, I was trying to scam them. I ended up talking to one of the Dean family. They had to tell Jeff that if the owners wanted to do this and Subaru wanted to do this then Jeff's opinion didn't matter.

Well he started the oil test after being dressed down and sheepishly apologized after Subaru confirmed I was right all along. The oil test is drive 1200 miles and come back and they would see how much oil was used. When I came back the oil was low but Jeff quickly told me it wasn't a problem. I would have to lose a quart of oil during this 1200 miles to be eligible for the repair and I had only lost one ounce. How do you know how much I lost was my foolish question thinking this was some kind of scientific test. We looked at the dip stick was the reply. And you can tell how many ounces of oil I lost from the dipstick? Yep, we are specially trained said Jeff.

Another call to Subaru, Jeff isn't right. It isn't a quart of oil in 1200 miles it is one third of a quart. I offered to send my video to Subaru of checking the oil myself that day but Subaru indicates it can only be verified by one of the exceptional service managers, no other means of getting the repair other than have someone like Jeff confirm that their is a problem.

So my car has dropped two quart of oil in the last 6 thousand miles but I'm screwed because the courts can have judgments but they aren't going to work unless Jeff says so. A complete waste of my time, frustration beyond words. Don't buy your car from them like I did, don't have your car serviced by them like I did and don't trust the class action lawsuit like I did.
