Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)Broken axle, ECM or engine control module, Replaced with third battery with only 77,000 miles. This car is a lemon and a total,piece of junk My wife’s 2020 Subaru Forrester has a console which is a complete hazard on the road. If you put anything on the console it doesn’t stay and slides off Talk about a complete distraction and safety danger just because of lazy manufacturing and stupid engineers who can’t think their way out of a wet paperbag
Under 50,000 miles all 4 wheel bearings needed to be replaced. Under 50,000 miles all 4 struts needed to be replaced. The door key would not work , the dealer had to fix the mechanism. The passenger window stops working suddenly, the dealer has to reset it all the time. The car braked in the middle of highway two time, I was lucky that no one hit me in the back. Under 65,000 miles control arm broke and did $8,400 damage. Car would not let me in on one of the parking, dealer could no help. Subaru from India was able to unlock the car and make it active again. Car lane keep assistant is like drunk driver. The dealer told me, that I need to buy a newer car. I have been to dealer every month.
I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE BECAUSE THE CAR WAS PULLING TO THE RIGHT, ALONG WITH THE REGULAR OIL CHANGE, AND THE DEALER IS TELLING ME THAT THE SPINDLE IS BENT. THEY ARE TELLING ME THAT THIS COULD ONLY HAVE OCCURRED IN AN ACCIDENT, BUT WE HAVE NOT HAD ANY ACCIDENTS IN THE 11,800 SINCE WE PURCHASED IT NEW LAST DECEMBER.
MANUFACTURING DEFECT IN THE RIGHT REAR STABILIZER BRACKET OUTSIDE WELD. THE WELD IS IMPROPERLY PLACED AND DOES NOT ACTUALLY ATTACH PART OF THE BRACKET TO THE SUBFRAME. (NOTE, THE WELD ON THE LEFT REAR STABILIZER BRACKET IS PROPERLY PLACED AND DOES ATTACH THE BRACKET TO THE SUBFRAME.) IT'S CLEAR THAT THE BRACKET OR WELD WERE OUT OF POSITION BECAUSE THE WELD BEAD HAS NO PENETRATION ON THE STABILIZER BAR BRACKET. THE LACK OF WELD ON THIS SIDE OF THE BRACKET WILL PLACE THE BRACKET UNDER A TORSIONAL LOAD THEREBY PLACING GREATER STRESS ON THE WELD ON THE INSIDE TAB OF THE BRACKET. FAIILURE OF THIS BRACKET COULD LEAD TO REDUCE VEHICLE STABILITY. CHANCES ARE IF MY VEHICLE WAS PRODUCED LIKE THIS THEN OTHER VEHICLES WERE ALSO PRODUCED LIKE THIS. IT'S NOT SOMETHING WHICH YOU WOULD NORMALLY NOTICE BECAUSE THIS ISN'T A ROUTINE INSPECTION ITEM.
