The second, separate investigation concerns possible corroded lower control arms on the 2002-2003 Subaru Impreza. According to The Detroit News, there have been seven complaints alleging that the control arms on the Subaru can break at more than 50 miles per hour, with two claimants saying that the failure sent their car outs of control. The Subaru investigation affects 84,000 Impreza models.

That`s crazy and sounds quite scary. I like how they have "outs of control" in the article at the end of the second paragraph.

I'd be worried about this in the extreme Northeast and Northwest, but my WRX has spent its entire life in Arizona... just had it up on a lift two months ago for new tires, and I took the opportunity to have a really detailed look at the underside and it looks nearly new, even the CV boots look pristine. I think it would take a lot of wet winters and salt on the roads to harm the control arms.
