    SUBARU HAS ISSUED TWO RECALLS FOR THE SUBARU CROSSTREK 2013: BREAK LIGHTS AND ENGINE STALLS DUE TOMORROW VALVE CRACK. THESE ARE BOTH SAFETY RECALLS. I CONTACTED TWO SUBARU DEALERS FOR THE RECALL, AND IT'S BEEN A MONTH SINCE THEY'VE SAID THEY COULD TAKE MAY CAR. I CALLED TWICE MORE, AND THEY KEEP TELLING ME ANOTHER MONTH.
