I bought a brand new Subaru Outback Boxer diesel in June this year. I have returned the car on two occasions for niggly problems and the steering wheel wobbles at 70 to 75mph. The dealer has balanced the wheels and also moved the wheels from front to back. The problem is still apparent. I am increasingly disappointed whenever I drive the car, and spoke to the manager on the last occasion it was in the garage. He reassured me that they would fix the problem. The car subsequently was returned to me still with the wheel wobble and also with the boot contents left with dirty hand marks. The Service Manager then agreed to contact the "head of technical" to get further advice but said he was on holiday (two weeks ago). I have not been contacted since.

Do I have grounds to reject the car? I feel that for a car bought brand new for over £26,000, I am not happy with the service I have received and the standard of the car. It would appear that I have to give them three chances to fix the car. Does a steering wheel wobble constitute a car of "not satisfactory standard"? If I reject the car, what chance is there of retrieving my money or even getting a new replacement from the same dealer?
