Owner Narrative

HAD THE ENGINE VALVE SPRINGS RECALL REPAIR DONE AND IN A LITTLE OVER A MONTH, AND 1,903 MILES LATER, THE ENGINE DIED WITHOUT ANY PRIOR WARNING OF ANY KIND. THE OIL AND FILTER WAS CHANGED AT THE REPAIR TIME AS WELL. I WAS DRIVING LATE THIS PAST FRIDAY NIGHT ALONG A HIGHWAY AND THE CAR STARTED MAKING A LOUD NOISE AND KNOCKING UNDER THE HOOD. FORTUNATELY, I WAS AT A PLACE WHERE I COULD SLOW DOWN AND PULL OFF. AS SOON AS I BARELY GOT OFF THE ROAD, MY CAR DIED. FROM WHAT I HAVE BEEN READING, THIS DEFINITELY HAPPENED AS A RESULT OF THE RECALL REPAIR. I JUST HOPE THAT SUBARU WILL COVER THE REPAIR COSTS BECAUSE IT SOUNDS LIKE THE ENGINE IS DONE ACCORDING TO OTHER REPORTS I HAVE READ. PRAISE THE LORD, I OR NO ONE ELSE WAS HURT FROM THIS INCIDENT. RECALL REPAIR COMPLETED APRIL 15,2019. ENGINE FAILURE HAPPENED MAY 25, 2019. IN THE PROCESS OF GETTING THE CAR TOWED TO A DIFFERENT SUBARU REPAIR CENTER TODAY.
