Re: Recall campaign MAF sensor repair on my 1999 Subaru/Legacy 2.2L AWD/MT. I want to thank Subaru Livermore (Bryant Kelly/Sam), and Subaru/Canada (Richard) for cooridinating the replacement/repair of my MAF sensor which after many frustrating months of trial/error and research on the internet I found to have an active recall campaign. I spent months and many hundreds of $$$ in emission repairs at an independent shop in Tracy that may not have been neccessary. I should have brought it to Subaru but I am on a limited budget (unemployment) and felt I could not afford the luxury. However, I learned a valuable lesson as I now believe we would have gotten to the core of the problem sooner and probably for less money. I brought the donuts for the service department in pre-celebration as I just knew this repair was going to be the cure; I was 100% right, when I left your dealership and excelerated up the ramp onto the freeway I thought I was driving a new car. Absolutely no spitting, sputtering, or hesitation that I had been living with since I purchased the car used in TX/2007. I went to have it smogged and it passed with flying colors (CO at idle of 0.22). Previously the smog referee entered it into the DMV systems as being a "Gross Polluter" with CO emissions at 10.00. I finally after waiting 2.5 hours at the DMV in Tracy was able to claim my long awaited registration/plates. Again, Thank You All for your help, this recall campaign repair saved me hundreds of dollars in additional repairs (out of my pocket), and finally resolved a long drawn out problem.
