Wow did I draw the ire of the board!

WG - How does this affect us? The suit indicates the problem was with everything coming out of a US Subie plant, why would we assume that this would extend to a vehicle produced in Japan before GM got involved? Btw, garage kept doesn't necessarily mean rust-free. If you ever drive your VX in winter (i.e. salt) conditions and don't flush and wash the undercarriage immediately after coming home, rust is equally capable of developing in your garage. Not trying to imply that you've been careless, just suggesting that folks in the petition who believe that because their vehicles were kept in a garage they're entitled to a rust-free undercarriage are sadly mistaken. Keep in mind this story didn't break in Virginia or MD but in Boston, which obviously has much more wintery conditions.

Btw, if someone was surprised to have had this happen at 65 on a freeway, they (or their mechanic) were CLEARLY not under the vehicle often enough. That kind of thing doesn't just happen overnight.
