2015 Subaru Forester Complaint Log

WHILE PULLING IN TO PARK IN THE LOT AT A LOW SPEED- 5 MPH OR LESS- I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE GAS TO APPLY THE BRAKE AND THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED AND HIT THE SIDE OF THE BUILDING. THE (TIN) BUILDING WAS DENTED AND MY CAR WAS SCRATCHED ON THE BUMPER- BELOW THE GRILL AND ALSO THE SUBARU EMBLEM WAS CRACKED.

ON TWO OCCASIONS: TRAVELING AT APPROX 65-70MPH THE ENGINE SUDDENLY STALLS AND WE HAVE BEEN FORCED TO STOP ON THE SHOULDER. THE STEERING WORKS, BUT THERE IS NO POWER GOING TO THE ENGINE WHICH EVENTUALLY STALLS. IT STARTS AFTER 2 ATTEMPTS AND THEN DRIVES NORMALLY. FIRST OCCASION, IT WAS RAINING AND THE 'EYESIGHT CAMERAS; WERE ON. AT FIRST WE THOUGHT THIS WAS THE ISSUE. THE SECOND OCCASION, IT WAS AGAIN RAINING AND I TURNED THE CAMERAS OFF (THINKING THAT MAY HAVE BEEN THE PROBLEM BEFORE) AND IT STALLED AGAIN. VERY DANGEROUS TO BE TRAVELING AT SUCH A HIGH RATE OF SPEED IN TRAFFIC TO HAVE ENGINE STALL.

THE CAR LOST ALL POWER IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSTATE 95 HEADING SOUTH APPROX 17 MILES NORTH OF THE GA FL STATE LINE. THE FUEL INDICATOR SHOWED 30 MILES UNTIL I HAD TO REFUEL. THIS WAS ON 12/3/2017. I WAS AT SPEED(75 MPH) AND MANAGED TO GO THROUGH TRAFFIC AND GO TO SHOULDER. THERE WAS NO POWER AND THE ENGINE HAD QUIT. I WAITED A COUPLE OF MINUTES AND THE CAR RESTARTED. I DROVE TO THE SECOND EXIT AND REFUELED. A FEW DAYS LATER ON 12/06/2017 ON THE WAY BACK TO ATLANTA ON I-95 SOUTH OF SAVANNAH AND THE FUEL GAGE READING 30 MILES UNTIL I HAD TO REFUEL, THE VERY SAME THING HAPPENED. EXCEPT, THIS TIME IT WOULD NOT RESTART. I CALLED AAA AND CONTINUED TO TRY TO RESTART. AFTER 45 MINUTES, THE CAR RESTARTED. I DROVE APPROX 10 MILES AND REFUELED. I HAVE HAD NO INCIDENT SINCE BUT, I HAVE NOT DRIVEN THE CAR WITH LOW FUEL. THIS COULD HAVE HAD A VERY DIFFERENT RESULT IF I HAD NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET THROUGH THE TRAFFIC ON A BUSY INTERSTATE. BOTH ME AND MY WIFE COULD BE DEAD. I BELIEVE THERE IS A FLAW IN THE LOW FUEL WARNING SOFTWARE AND SOMETHING SHUTS THE POWER. I HAVE DRIVEN THIS CAR WITH LOWER FUEL LEVELS. THE INSTRUMENT PANEL SHOWS MILES TO YOU HAVE TO REFUEL, I.E., 50 MILES, 40 MILES, 30 MILES, 20 MILES THEN ------. YOU HAVE ACCESS TO DATA ON THESE CARS, I DON'T. PLEASE HAVE SOME ADVISE ME WHAT IS YOUR THINKING ON THIS MATTER.

WHEN SHIFTING INTO DRIVE FORM REVERSE OR PARK THE CVT TRANSMISSION CAN TAKE APPROX. 3 SECONDS TO ENGAGE AND FOR THE CAR TO START MOVING. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY LONG TIME WHEN YOU ARE BACKING INTO A SPACE OR BACKING FROM A DRIVEWAY ONTO A BUSY ROAD. THE SERVICE ADVISOR SAID THIS IS "NORMAL" ON A SUBARU CVT TRANSMISSION. I INSISTED THAT THE SUBARU SERVICE DEPT. CHECK MY CAR AND VERIFY. THIS IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT, I WILL HAVE IT RECORDED. I WILL UPDATE THIS AFTER THE DEALER LOOKS AT THE ISSUE.

I BOUGHT THE CAR AND LESS THAN A MONTH LATER THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP THAT I BOUGHT IT FROM AND THEY TOLD ME TO TAKE IT TO THE SUBARU DEALERSHIP IF THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON. IT NEVER CAME BACK ON. FOUR DAYS LATER I WAS DRIVING AND THE GAS PEDAL QUIT WORKING. I LOOKED DOWN TO SEE IF ANY LIGHTS WERE ON AND THEY WEREN'T. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY TO TURN THE CAR OFF. BEFORE I COULD TURN THE CAR OFF I SAW FLAMES COMING OUT OF THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF THE HOOD NEAR THE LIGHTS. THEN ALL OF THE WARMING LIGHTS CAME ON. I QUICKLY TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE. BEFORE I COULD GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE THE WHOLE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE WAS IN FLAMES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 SUBARU FORESTER. WHILE DRIVING, THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND NOTICED IT WAS STIFF. THE CONTACT HAD TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL SEVERAL TIMES TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,000.

CAR BURNING OIL AT SUBSTANTIAL RATE BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. NEED TO TOP UP OIL TWICE BETWEEN 6000 MILE OIL CHANGE INTERVALS. CAR IS AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. SUBARU PROVIDES ENGINE BLOCK REPLACEMENT FOR ISSUE FOR 2015 FORESTERS WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSION AND FOR PREVIOUS MODEL YEARS WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS. 2015 AUTO TRANSMISSIONS ARE OBVIOUSLY ALSO AFFECTED -- OUR CAR IS AFFECTED.

A VEHICLE RUNNING A RED LIGHT IMPACTED THE SUBARU'S FRONT END AND THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY.

I STARTED DRIVING AND FOUND THAT MY HILL HOLDER, MY VEHICLE DYNAMICS CONTROL SYSTEM, MY ABS, MY SUBARU EYESIGHT AND MULTIPLE OTHER WARNING LIGHTS WERE ALL LITE UP. I PULLED OVER AND TURNED OFF THE CAR AND WHEN I RESTARTED THE CAR I COULDN'T PUT MY CAR INTO GEAR. IT WAS STUCK IN PARK ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. AFTER A FEW MORE TRIES I WAS ABLE TO GET IT INTO GEAR AND CONTINUED DRIVING WITH ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS ON. THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES YESTERDAY AS I ATTEMPTED TO GET IT TO THE DEALERSHIP.

WHILE BACKING UP A WINDING HILL ON A HARD PACKED GRAVEL DRIVEWAY I BACKED INTO A SEVEN INCH DIAMETER TREE ON THE EDGE OF THE ROAD. DID NOT HIT IT HARD ENOUGH TO DAMAGE THE BACK BUMPER. I PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE AND IN AN INSTANT THE MOTOR WENT WIDE OPEN. I HIT THE BRAKES, BUT NO NOTICABLE EFFECT. I NARROWLY MISSED THE CORNER OF THE GARAGE. THE CAR DUG FOUR DEPRESSIONS IN THE DRIVEWAY WHEN IT TOOK OFF. AND THREW GRAVEL ALL THE WAY DOWN THE HILL AND ON THE FLAT UNTIL IT HIT A LARGE TREE, THE MOTOR STILL RACING. THE RUNAWAY HAPPENED IN SECONDS. THE CAR WAS TOTALED. MY WIFE SUFFERED A BADLY BROKEN RIGHT WRIST. I WAS NEARLY KNOCKED OUT. I HAVE BEEN A SAFE DRIVER FOR 60 YEARS. DROVE PROFESSIONALLY FOR ABOUT FOUR AND A HALF YEARS. I ALSO HAVE OVER 175,000 MILES AND COUNTING ON MOTORCYCLES. THIS CAR DEFINITELY DID MALFUNCTION. FORTUNATELY THE HOUSE SECURITY CAMERA CAPTURED THE ACTION. I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN UPLOAD THE VIDEO TO YOUR SITE. PLEASE ADVISE. SABARU CANADA AND THE MY SUBARU DEALER IGNORED MY COMPLAINT, WITH THE DEALER REP SAYING, 'THE FLOOR MAT WAS PROBABLY ON THE GAS PETAL.'

TWICE THE FORESTER SURGE FORWARD --ONCE IT STOPPED BEFORE HITTING A TREE AND THE SECOND TIME IT HIT A BUILDING. BOTH TIMES PULLING IN TO A PARKING SPACE FROM A ROAD AND FROM A PARKING AREA.

I HAVE A 2015 SUBARU FORESTER (LESS THAN 32K MILES) AND MY CAR HAS NOT STARTED ON 3 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS THIS LAST YEAR. THIS LAST TIME I WAS WITH A FRIEND AND WE PARKED ON A SOMEWHAT DARKER CITY STREET LATE AT NIGHT WHERE I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE TO NOT WASTE GAS AND TALK. THE ONLY THING I REMEMBER DOING WAS TURNING ON THE UPPER CAR LIGHT FOR 60 SECONDS TO FIND MY FRIEND'S PHONE AND ADJUSTING THE DRIVER WINDOW WITH KEY IN ACCESSORY MODE I BELIEVE (ENGINE WAS NOT RUNNING). WE DID NOT USE THE RADIO BECAUSE EMBARRASSINGLY, THE SAME FRIEND HAD WAITED WITH ME THE TIME BEFORE WHEN I PLAYED MY RADIO FOR 10 MINUTES ONE TIME. SO AGAIN, MY CAR DIDN'T START, AND SHE HAD TO WAIT WITH ME ONCE AGAIN 30-45 MINUTES UNTIL HELP CAME TO GIVE THE BATTERY A JUMP. IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN EITHER WHEN I SIT IN THE CAR WITH THE KEY OUT AND USE THE INTERNAL LIGHT (EVEN FOR ONLY 60 SECONDS LIKE THIS LAST TIME) OR IF KEYS ARE IN, LISTEN TO THE RADIO FOR A FEW MINUTES ONLY WITHOUT ENGINE RUNNING. ANYTHING TURNED ON AFTER THE CAR HAS STOPPED RUNNING SEEMS TO MESS WITH THE BATTERY AND I'M AFRAID IT WON'T START. THIS LAST TIME WHEN IT WOULDN'T START THE ENGINE, I NOTICED THAT MY DRIVERS WINDOW DID NOT ROLL UP (EVEN THOUGH THE OTHER WINDOWS DID) AND THEN IT STARTED TO GRIND WHEN I TRIED TO START IT MULTIPLE TIMES, WAITING A LITTLE TIME IN BETWEEN BEFORE TRYING TO START IT ...THEN IT SEEMS TO SLOWLY DRAIN UNTIL NO LIGHTS AT ALL IN CAR. THE TOW COMPANY TESTED THE BATTERY AND SAID IT IS STILL GOOD, THERE WAS NO PROBLEM WITH IT, BUT MENTIONED MAYBE IT'S NOT GETTING BOTH CELLS TO CHARGE EQUALLY OR HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH STARTER, NOT SURE. WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT MY CAR, I REMEMBER DEALERSHIP MENTIONING THE ELECTRICAL AND NOT HOLDING THEM RESPONSIBLE (?) I THINK IF THEY KNEW ABOUT THIS, THEY NEED TO RECALL AND FIX, OR GIVE US A PORTABLE CAR JUMPER. SAD BECAUSE I LOVE MY SUV OTHERWISE. :(

IN SEPTEMBER 2017, I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN MY SUBARU FORESTER LOST POWER COMPLETELY AND WITHOUT WARNING. I WAS BARELY ABLE TO GET TO THE SHOULDER AND HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED. IT RESTARTED AFTER ONLY APPROXIMATELY 2 HOURS. LUCKILY THIS OCCURRED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT WITH LITTLE TRAFFIC, OR I LIKELY WOULD HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN A CATASTROPHIC ACCIDENT. I CONTACTED SUBARU AND LEARNED I WAS ELIGIBLE FOR AN EXTENDED WARRANTY DUE TO POSSIBLE CVT ISSUES, BUT SUBARU REFUSED TO ASSIST ME WHEN I EXPLAINED THAT I WAS OVERSEAS WITH THE VEHICLE ON OFFICIAL U.S. GOVERNMENT ASSIGNMENT AND THAT THE LOCAL AUTHORIZED SUBARU SHOP NEEDED AUTHORIZATION FROM SUBARU TO COMPLETE WORK ON MY U.S.-SPEC VEHICLE. I NOTED MY ALARM THAT SEVERAL OTHERS HAD REPORTED SIMILAR INCIDENTS, WHICH COULD RESULT IN MY, MY CHILDREN'S OR OTHERS DEATHS, BUT SUBARU STILL DID NOT ASSIST IN FINDING A SOLUTION. I BELIEVE THE SERIOUSNESS OF THIS FAULT, AS WELL AS THE FACT THAT OTHER SUBARU OWNERS ARE REPORTING THE SAME PROBLEM UP UNTIL THIS DAY (LATE 2019) SHOULD CALL FOR AN ACTUAL RECALL OF THE VEHICLE, NOT ONLY AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. I AM A THREE-TIME SUBARU OWNER AND AM SHOCKED BY THE LACK OF CUSTOMER LOYALTY REGARDING THIS SERIOUS VEHICLE ISSUE. I CONTINUE TO BE ON U.S. GOVERNMENT ASSIGNMENT OVERSEAS SO AM UNABLE TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A U.S. SUBARU SERVICE CENTER. IRRESPECTIVE OF THAT SITUATION, THE FACT THAT I AND THE OTHER OWNERS WHO HAVE REPORTED THIS DANGEROUS ISSUE SHOULD RESULT IN VEHICLE RECALL BEFORE LIVES ARE LOST.

THE VEHICLES STUTTERS WHEN ACCELERATING. THE ISSUE WILL GO FOR A FEW DAYS TO A FEW WEEKS THEN DISAPPEAR AND RETURN A FEW WEEKS LATER. HAVE TRIED CHANGING TO SPORT AND SPORT + MODES AND ALSO USING THE PADDLE SHIFTERS AND NONE OF THEM HAD ANY CHANGE IN THE STUTTERING. THE CAR HAS 25,000 MILES ON IT AND THE ISSUE HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE ABOUT 10K MILES. WHEN I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN FOR A RECALL IT WAS FUNCTIONING FINE AND THE TECHS COULD NOT FIND ANY ISSUES. I HAVE ANOTHER APPOINTMENT SCHEDULED FOR 2 WEEKS FROM NOW.

SOFT BRAKE FADE. BRAKES FADE, IN PARTICULAR, WHEN VEHICLE IS WARM AFTER DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, BRAKES SINK ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. IT SEEMS LIKE THEY WON'T STOP THE VEHICLE. THIS SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE AS VEHICLE AGES. HAPPENS REGULARLY. DEALER AND SUBARU SAY THIS IS NORMAL BEHAVIOR. THERE ARE SERVICE BULLETINS ABOUT THIS SAFETY ISSUE ON MANY OTHER SUBARU MODELS, BUT NOT ON THIS MODEL. DEALER AND SUBARU ARE INCORRECTLY TREATING THIS AS A CUSTOMER SATISFACTION ISSUE, NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. I RECOMMEND AN INVESTIGATION OF SUBARU BRAKE ISSUES ON ALL MODELS.

I HAVE HAD EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION SINCE THE FIRST 3K MILES DRIVEN ON THE CAR. I HAVE GONE THROUGH A SLEW OF CONSUMPTION TESTS, HAD THE SHORT BLOCK REPLACED AND I AM CONTINUING TO HAVE THE SAME ISSUES. SUBARU'S ONLY OFFER IS TO GO THROUGH MORE CONSUMPTION TESTS AND A POSSIBLE 2 MOTOR REPLACEMENT. OR, THEY WILL UPGRADE ME TO A NEW MODEL. THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE ACCORDING TO THE NUMEROUS SUBARU OWNERS THAT ARE POSTING ONLINE - AND IT IS FRUSTRATING THAT THEY WERE SUED FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE, YET CONTINUE TO MANUFACTURER CARS WITH DEFECTIVE MOTORS, AND OFFER LITTLE RESOLUTION TO THE CONSUMER. WHY WOULD I WANT TO UPGRADE TO A NEW SUBARU TO HAVE THE SAME ISSUES I HAVE HAD SINCE THE FIRST 3K MILES ON THE ONE I HAVE NOW? I FEEL THEY NEED TO REFUND THEIR CUSTOMERS AND DISCONTINUE THE MANUFACTURING OF THIS MOTOR! IT IS NOT NORMAL TO BURN THROUGH OIL AT AN ALARMING RATE (1 QUART EVERY 2000-3000 MILES) - IT ISN'T JUST CONSUMING THE OIL, BUT THE OIL IN MY CAR IS BLACK AFTER JUST 1200 MILES ON THE NEW MOTOR THAT HAS LESS THAN 12K MILES ON IT. I CAMP AND TRAIL IN THIS VEHICLE, AND TO BE STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF NO WHERE WITH AN OIL LIGHT ON AND NO WHERE CLOSE BY TO PICK UP SYNTHETIC OIL, OR ANY OIL IS VERY BOTHERSOME. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO CARRY OIL IN MY 2015 CAR THAT I GOT BRAND NEW! HOW DO THEY GET AWAY WITH RIPPING OFF SO MANY CONSUMERS AND NOT ISSUING A RECALL?

CAR PASSED STATE INSPECTION ON 8/3/2017 WITH 18500 MILES. ONE WEEK LATER, CAR WAS TAKEN ON SHORT ERRAND AND BURST INTO FLAMES WITH DRIVER INSIDE UPON BEING PLACED IN PARK. FIRE DEPARTMENT AND POLICE ASSESSED THE SITUATION.

ENGINE HESITATES ON ACCELERATION, ESPECIALLY FROM A DEAD STOP, LEAVING ME STUCK IN THE ONCOMING LANE FOR SEVERAL SECONDS. THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM AND IS VERY DANGEROUS! IT?S VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO ACCELERATE WITHOUT FEELING HESITATION AND SURGING. IT FEELS LIKE THE CAR IS VERY SLOW TO GO INTO GEAR AND THEN LUNGES TO CATCH UP. THIS HAPPENS IN ALL WEATHER AND ALL DRIVING CONDITIONS, IT HAPPENS EVERY DAY. VERY DISAPPOINTING PERFORMANCE FOR A CAR I BOUGHT BRAND NEW.

ON HIGH SPEED OR LOW SPEED TURNING STEERING WHEEL LEFT THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE SHAKES. ONLY STOPS SHAKING WHEN YOUR BELOW SPEED LIMIT ON FREEWAYS, ALWAYS SHAKES BELOW 40MPH

EXCESSIVE OIL USE BETWEEN OIL CHANGES REQUIRING ADDING OIL. OIL LIGHT COMES ON UNEXPECTEDLY CAUSING DRIVER TO HAVE TO CARRY OIL ON BOARD AND TO PULL OVER TO ADD. SHOULD NOT HAPPEN IN 2 YEAR OLD CAR. SAFETY ISSUE DUE TO PULLING OVER IN BAD WEATHER, UNFAMILIAR AREA. I WAS ALONE AND APPROACHED BY SUSPICIOUS W/M WHILE ADDING OIL.

WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT, ANOTHER DRIVER LET US KNOW THAT OUR TAIL LIGHTS WERE NOT ON EVEN THOUGH THE HEADLIGHTS WERE WORKING. ALSO, THE BRIGHT HEADLIGHTS ARE NOT WORKING. BRAKE LIGHTS, EMERGENCY FLASHERS, AND TURN SIGNALS ARE STILL WORKING. WHEN WE HAVE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT UNTIL PROBLEM IS FIXED, WE HAVE TO DRIVE WITH FLASHERS ON. CHECKED ALL FUSES AND ALL ARE OK.

PULLED INTO PARKING SPACE WITH FOOT ON BRAKE GETTING READY TO PUT CAR IN PARK. CAR ACCELERATES OUT OF CONTROL HITTING PARKED CAR, TREE AND PROCEEDED TO ROLE OVER. ALL POWER LOST AND COULD NOT UNLOCK DOORS.

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR AT 70 MPH ON EXPRESS WAY. SUDDENLY POWER DECREASED WHILE MY FOOT WAS ON ACCELERATOR. CAR LURCHED FORWARD FOLLOWED BY A TOTAL LOSS OF POWER WITH NO STEERING CONTROL. I COASTED INTO EMERGENCY LANE. NO WARNING LIGHTS ON DASHBOARD BEFORE INCIDENT. CAR INDICATED 60 MILES LEFT IN GAS TANK. MILEAGE AT TIME OF INCIDENT 15,888. CAR IMMEDIATELY STARTED UP AFTER STALLING. TOOK TO SUBARU DEALERSHIP FOR CHECKUP AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO REPLICATE INCIDENT. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW FROM DEALERSHIP.

IN AUGUST OF 2015 MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE. ALL DASH LIGHTS CAME ON AND THE VEHICLE BECAME INOPERABLE AS A RESULT. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS SHE WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. HOWEVER, AFTER ABOUT 150 FT ALL WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AGAIN SAYING THAT IS WAS DISABLING SEVERAL SAFETY FEATURES (ABS, EYESIGHT, HILL ASSIST, ETC.). SHE AGAIN PULLED OVER, AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RE-START (FLAT-OUT WOULD NOT COME ON, THE POWER WOULD COME ON BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START [HAS A KEY LESS IGNITION SYSTEM]). SHE CALLED ROAD SIDE ASSIST AND THEY CAME TO TRY AND HELP HER WITH THE CAR. THEY WERE ABLE TO GET IT STARTED AND SHE DROVE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY TOOK THE VEHICLE IN AND LOOKED AT IT. THEIR SERVICING NOTES INDICATE THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE, HOWEVER, WHILE MY WIFE WAS THERE THEY WERE UNABLE TO START THE VEHICLE AS WELL. IN REVIEW OF THESE NOTES THEY INDICATE THE FOLLOWING ERROR CODES WERE PRESENT P1531 AND B2809 AND THEY ALSO REPLACED THE FOLLOWING PART [83311FJ000]. ON JUNE 25, 2017, THE PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN WHILE DRIVING. ALL SAFETY FEATURES DISABLED, ALL SYSTEMS SHUT-OFF. ONCE I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF I WAS UNABLE TO START IT AGAIN. IT SEEMED AS IF I WAS UNABLE TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL FAR ENOUGH TO TRIGGER THE KEYLESS START FEATURE. SO, THE VEHICLE WAS UNUSABLE AND UNSAFE. I CONTACTED SUBARU AND THEY HAVE TOWED THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AS ALL ATTEMPTS TO START THE VEHICLE HAVE FAILED (ALL POWER WORKS, BUT NO START AND ALL SAFETY FEATURES INDICATE THEY ARE DISABLED). I SPOKE WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND EXPRESSED ALL OF THESE CONCERNS AS WELL AS SEVERAL OTHERS. THE VEHICLE IS AT THE DEALERSHIP AT THIS TIME. IN ALL INSTANCES WHEN THE VEHICLE HAD ISSUES WE WERE EITHER DRIVING ON A CITY STREET, A LOCAL HIGHWAY, OR UNABLE TO START THE VEHICLE DUE TO THESE PROBLEMS. THIS IS THE SECOND OCCURRENCE IN LESS THAN THREE YEARS.

VEHICLE STALLS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. MOST LIKELY A DEFECTIVE TURBOCHARGER WHICH UNDER PRESSURE WILL DEVELOP CRACKS. VEHICLE WILL NOT RESTART UNTIL TURBOCHARGER COOLS. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE TO ME ON LONG TRIPS.

ENGINE STALL AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THIS HAS OCCURRED TO ME ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS. CRUISE CONTROL WAS ON. A/C ON.

I FILED TWO EARLIER COMPLAINTS BUT FAILED TO RECORD THE COMPLAINT # ON THE FIRST ONE. THE SECOND ONE IS #11003831. THE PROBLEM CONCERNS ENGINE STALL AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. IT OCCURRED TO ME ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS (JULY 2016 SALINA, KS AND 6/17/17 ON I-44 OKLA TURNPIKE NEAR CLAREMORE. BOTH TIMES I WAS GOING ABOUT 70 MPH, CRUISE CONTROL WAS ON AND THE A/C. COULDN'T RESTART THE CAR. HAD IT TOWED TO TULSA DEALERSHIP. MECHANIC SAID IT WAS BAD/DIRTY GASOLINE. THE TORQUE CONVERTER ON THE CVT TRANSMISSIONS APPARENTLY MAY ALSO BE A CAUSE. FORBES MAG RECENTLY DID A ARTICLE ON THIS PROBLEM. MY CAR YEAR/MODEL WAS INCLUDED IN THE ARTICLE, WHICH ALSO MENTIONED THAT FEDERAL REGULATORS HAVE RECEIVED 100 COMPLAINTS FROM CONSUMERS. I DON'T KNOW IF I WILL RECEIVE A LETTER FROM SUBARU OR WHAT MY NEXT STEP IS. I PLAN ON SHOWING THE FORBES ARTICLE TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF THAT WILL FORCE ANY ACTION.

WHILE DRIVING, THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL, THE HILL ASSIST BRAKE AND THE ABS LIGHTS RANDOMLY DEPLOY. HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN 24 HOURS. TURNING THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON SEEMS TO CLEAR THE ISSUE. HOWEVER, AFTER THAT, NOW TWO TIMES WHILE TRAVELING AT A REGULAR SPEED, THE BRAKING SYSTEM AUTOMATICALLY APPLIED ITSELF, INCLUDING THE CVT ENGAGING INTO LOW SPEED AND FORCING THE CAR TO DRIVE ONLY AT 10-20 MPH. AS WELL, WHEN THIS OCCURS THE BRAKING SYSTEM DOES NOT WORK. OTHER READS SOUND LIKE A FAULTY BRAKE LIGHT SENSOR OR SENSING SYSTEM, BUT THIS IS A POTENTIALLY FATAL MALFUNCTION AS ONE TRAVELING 60 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY WAS SUDDENLY STOPPED WITH NO WARNING. THEN WHEN TRYING TO GET TO SAFETY, THE BRAKES WOULD NOT WORK WHILE ATTEMPTING TO COME TO A STOP AT A LIGHT. THE VEHICLE SEEMS TO "RESET" AND BE FINE FOR A FEW MILES, ONLY TO EITHER GO TO THE ALL LIGHTS ON SYSTEM (ABS/HILL ASSIST/STABILITY CONTROL) OR GO INTO THE BRAKING/CVT ERROR AS WELL. WILL HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP, BUT THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN THAT IS ELECTRONIC IN NATURE AS THE DEFAULT FALL BACK IS NOT A MANUAL WORKING BRAKE SYSTEM BUT SEEMS TO BE A NON-WORKING BRAKE SYSTEM.

LOST COMPLETE POWER AT 70MPH IN CENTER LANE OF EXPRESSWAY. SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL ROLLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. GAS GAUGE SHOWED 1/8 TANK, 70 MILES, NO FUEL LIGHT.. SUBARU SAID FUEL PUMP OVERHEATED AND THAT YOU SHOULD NEVER DRIVE WITH LESS THAN 1/4 TANK. COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER WITH NO WARNING ALMOST CAUSED A CATASTROPHIC ACCIDENT. VEHICLE WAS TOWED BY AAA TO SUBARU DEALER. VEHICLE WAS UNRESPONSIVE TO AAA AFTER SITTING FOR 90 MINUTES WAITING. DEALER SAID FUEL PUMP IS COOLED BY FUEL AND RUNNING IT WHEN FUEL IS LOW CAUSES PUMP FAILURE. VERY CASUAL, WE ALMOST DIED!. REPAIR RECORD ATTACHED.

WHEN NEEDED FOR THE VENTILATION TO CLEAR THE FOG, WHICH FORMS ON THE WINDSHIELD OCCASIONALLY WHEN THE WEATHER IS HUMID OR VERY HOT OR TOO COLD, HAVE TO KEEP IT ON. THEN WHEN THE CAR IS OFF VAPOR FORMS ON THE WINDSHIELD.

SINCE BUYING IT NEW, THE CAR SEVERAL TIMES HAS FAILED TO START AND HAD TO BE JUMP-STARTED. TWICE TOWED TO DEALER, CHECKED SEVERAL TIMES THERE, NO PROBLEM COULD BE FOUND. THIS HAS HAPPENED A NUMBER OF TIMES (SPORADICALLY, WITH NO INDICATION AS TO WHY). THE FIRST TIME AT 4,000 MILES, SEVERAL TIMES SINCE AND AGAIN THIS MONTH.

TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED 5-22-17 UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY. ASSURED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS IN WORKING ORDER WE DROVE UP TO MAMMOTH LAKES CA THAT FRIDAY (5-26-17). 2 HOURS INTO THE DRIVE, JUST INSIDE THE MOJAVE DESERT, WE EXPERIENCED A ABRUPT STALLING/LUNGING SENSATION. LETTING OFF THE GAS FOR A MOMENT, I THEN GAVE THE CAR A BIT MORE GAS AND EXPERIENCED THE SAME SENSATION AGAIN. I PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER AND SMELT A CHEMICAL/OVERHEATING SMELL. SHUT THE CAR OFF, POPPED THE HOOD AND NO SMOKE. I THEN TURNED THE VEHICLE BACK ON AND NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR ANY OTHER LIGHT WAS ON. I THEN PUT THE CAR INTO DRIVE AND PROCEEDED. THE RPM'S WENT TO ABOUT 4K BUT THE CAR WAS NOT EXHILARATING. I DROVE THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD FOR ABOUT 1/4 MILE INTO A GAS STATION. AT 11PM I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO PAY $600 TO HAVE IT TOWED BACK TO LADIN SUBARU OF THOUSAND OAKS. I AM CURRENTLY AWAITING YET ANOTHER DIAGNOSIS. NOT SURE I FEEL CONFIDENT IN THE VEHICLE ESPECIALLY IF IT PUTS ME AT RISK OF BEING REAR ENDED ON A HIGHWAY. NOT TO MENTION THE ISSUE OCCURRED JUST 4 DAYS AFTER IT WAS SUPPOSEDLY FIXED! SUBARU COULD POTENTIALLY BE IN THE HOLE FOR $16K AS THE CAR IS STILL UNDER ITS EXTENDED WARRANTY. NOT SURE I EVEN FEEL CONFIDENT THEY CAN RESOLVE THE ISSUE.

WHILE DRIVING AT 65MPH THE LEFT WHEEL BOUNCES AND MY ENGINE RPM INCREASE, THE STEERING WHEEL VIBRATES AS WELL AS THE FRONT END. THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING A ROAD WHICH CURVES TO THE RIGHT. IT MAKES THE CAR DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. IT SOUNDS LIKE THE CV JOINT ON THE LEFT FRONT IT MAKES GRINDING OR PULSING SOUND. THIS ONLY HAPPENS AT HIGHWAY SPEED. I RECENTLY HAD A FRONT END ALIGNMENT AND THE CAR DOES STOP STRAIGHT WITH NO PROBLEM AT ANY SPEED. I FEEL AS IF THE WHOLE FRONT LEFT IS GOING TO COME OFF AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.

PROBLEM IS WITH THE SUBARU "EYESIGHT" SYSTEM ON THIS VEHICLE. THE SYSTEM HAS BEEN SUTTING ITSELF OFF MORE AND MORE OVER THE PAST FEW WEEKS UNTIL NOW, IT SHUTS DOWN THE SYSTEM AND CRUISE CONTROL MULTIPLE TIMES DAILY EVEN AT NIGHT.DAYTIME OR WHENEVER IT WANTS TO. THE LOCAL DEALER CHECKED IT AND FOUND NO PROBLEM THAT HE COULD SEE FOR IT.

WINDSHIELD CRACKED WHEN TURNED ON DEFROSTER. INSPECTION BY DEALERSHIP VERIFIED CRACK WAS NOT DUE TO ANY OUTSIDE FORCE. SUBARU HAS EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR DEFECTIVE WINDSHIELD CRACKS ON OUTBACK & LEGACY MODELS, BUT HAS NOT RESPONDED TO MY REQUEST FOR REPLACEMENT OF DEFECTIVE WINDSHIELD ON MY FORESTER. WINDSHIELD CRACK STARTED AT BOTTOM OF PASSENGER SIDE WINDSHIELD & EXTENDED ABOUT 12 INCHES UPWARDS TOWARD CENTER OF WINDSHIELD. THE CRACK HAS CONTINUED TO EXTEND TOWARDS THE CENTER AND IS NOW ABOUT 24 INCHES IN LENGTH. SEE: HTTP://BERANEK.AGRRMAG.COM/2015/12/SUBARU-EXTENDS-WINDSHIELD-WARRANTY/#.WLHQBCFXRLK.EMAIL

WHEN I STOP MY CAR, PUT IT IN PARK AND SHUT OFF THE ENGINE I CAN NOT OPEN THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR USING THE IN-DOOR SILVER DOOR LATCH. THE DOOR STAYS LOCKED AND WILL NOT OPEN. THE DOOR WILL NOT OPEN EVEN WHEN I TRY TO UNLOCK IT USING THE UNLOCK ROCKER SWITCH ON THE DRIVER'S DOOR ARM REST. THE DOOR CAN ONLY BE UNLOCKED AND OPENED WHEN I UNLOCK IT USING THE BLACK IN-DOOR LOCKING LATCH. THERE IS AN APPARENT ELECTRICAL OR SOFTWARE PROBLEM WHICH CAN CAUSE SOMEONE TO GET TRAPPED INSIDE THE CAR. THIS NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. THANK YOU.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 SUBARU FORESTER. WHILE DRIVING 75 MPH, THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE SHOOK. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER (CITYSIDE SUBARU, 790 PLEASANT ST, BELMONT, MA 2478, (617) 826-5000) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TIE ROD ENDS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 59,129.

TAKATA RECALL NOTICE IN NEWSPAPER.

HILL START ASSIST BRAKING ACTIVATED WHEN I WAS PULLING ON TO A 60 MPH HIGHWAY ON FLAT GROUND! IT CONTINUED TO ENGAGE BRAKES & THEN DISENGAGE BRAKES AS I TRIED TO ACCELERATE. I COULD NOT GET THE VEHICLE TO ACCELERATE BEYOND 25MPH. THIS WAS ON AN ICY HIGHWAY WITH OTHER VEHICLES TRYING TO BRAKE TO AVOID HITTING ME. I CONSIDER THIS A LIFE THREATENING DEFECT!

[XXX] SUBARU FORESTER HILL START ASSIST BRAKING COMES ON WHILE DRIVING DOWN A HIGHWAY, PREVENTING ACCELERATION & MAKING AN ACCIDENT VERY PROBABLE. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

AFTER SHIFTING THE TRANSMISSION TO THE REVERSE POSITION, BACKING IN TO A PARKING SPACE, LIGHTLY STEPPED ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED UNCONTROLLABLE LOCKED AT A FAST SPEED, HITTING THE COLUMN AND WINDOWS OF THE RESTAURANT.

THE TIRE LOW PRESSURE INDICATOR CAME ON THE DASH BOARD. THE AIR PRESSURE WAS LOW, SO THAT WAS WHAT WAS SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN. THE PROBLEM IS THAT I CAN'T RESET THE TIRE LOW PRESSURE INDICATOR UNLESS I PAY THE DEALER $50. SO, I HAVEN'T HAD A FUNCTIONING LOW PRESSURE INDICATOR FOR TWO YEARS.

WHEN STOPPED ON A HILL, WITH ENGINE RUNNING, SHIFT PLACED SECURELY IN PARK, WITH ROAD ICE ON ONE SIDE OF VEHICLE, THE CAR STARTED TO SLIDE DOWN THE HILL, BUT BOTH REAR WHEELS AND DRIVER SIDE FRONT WHEEL WERE TURNING WHILE CAR WAS SLIDING DOWN HILL. IN TESTING THIS, IT WAS REPEATED TWO TIMES, ONCE ON THE SAME HILL, AGAIN ON A DIFFERENT HILL. THIS IS DANGEROUS! IT IS AS THOUGH "PARK" IS ONLY LOCKING THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL, BUT IF IT IS ON ICE, THE CAR WILL BEGIN TO SLIDE BECAUSE THE REMAINING WHEELS ARE NOT ALSO LOCKED.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR ON A PARKING LOT I SLOWED DOWN TO PARK AND I HAD THE FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL. THE CAR ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN AND WENT OVER THE SIDEWALK. I COULD HAVE INJURED SOMEONE WALKING OR HIT THE GLASS WINDOW IN FRONT OF ME. THE SUBARU DEALER INSPECTED THE CAR AND DID NOT FOUND ANY ISSUE AND COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM. I HAVE READ THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO OTHER OWNERS AND IT REPRESENTS A SAFETY RISK TO THE DRIVER AND EVERYONE ELSE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 SUBARU FORESTER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS. THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY AND BRAKE SENSORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 37,000.

MY 2015 SUBARU FORESTER XT WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED SUBARU DEALERSHIP NUMEROUS VISITS TO THE FOR AN ISSUE IN WHICH THE CARS ENGINE LIGHTS AND WARNINGS WOULD DISPLAY, VIOLENTLY SHAKE, SHUDDER AND LOSE POWER WHILE AT HIGHWAY SPEED. AM AUTHORIZED SUBARU MECHANIC WAS ABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE, THEY DID AN ECM COMPUTER UPDATE...UNFORTUNATELY, THE PROBLEMS DID NOT GO AWAY AFTER THE UPDATE. I RE-VISITED THE DEALERSHIP EXPLAINING THAT THE PROBLEMS PERSISTED, AT WHICH POINT THEY DECIDED TO TRY TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. AFTER A WEEK, THE SUBARU DEALER SENT ME HOME IN THE CAR, SAYING THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. LESS THEN 4 DAYS LAYER, WHILE ON MY MORNING COMMUTE TO WORK, THE SAME PROBLEMS WHICH HAD PLAGUED THE CAR STARTED TO OCCUR, HOWEVER THIS TIME, I HEARD A LOUD POP/BANG AND SMOKE FILLED THE CABIN OF THE CAR. VERY SHORTLY AFTER SMOKE ENTERED THE CABIN, I WITNESSED FLAMES COMING OUT FROM UNDER THE HOOD AND ABOVE THE WINDSDHIED. I EXITED THE FREEWAY LANES AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE, AND WITHIN 10 SECONDS THE CAR WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES. I HAVE PAPERWORK FROM THE DEALERSHIP WITH MY EXPRESSED CONCERNS, AND THE SUABARU MECHANIC'S ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF THE ISSUE.

MOST RECENT NEAR-MISS FATAL INCIDENT HAPPENED ON NOV.6, 2016 DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AT THE SPEED OF ABOUT 65- 68 MILES , CAR SUDDENLY DIED, AND STOPPED COMPLETELY WITHOUT ANY WARNING SIGNS AND WARNING LIGHTS, IT FELT LIKE CAR SUDDENLY LOST THE POWER AND COMPLETELY STOPPED. WHEN TRIED TO RE-START IMMEDIATELY, CAR DIDN'T START. AFTER A FEW MINUTES, CAR STARTED. TOTAL DRIVING DISTANCE ON THE HIGHWAY BEFORE THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED WAS ABOUT 260 MILES. I WAS ABLE TO PULL THE CAR ON THE SHOULDER; I WAS DRIVING IN A RIGHT LANE AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT. IT COULD HAVE BEEN A MAJOR FATAL ACCIDENT, AS I WAS DRIVING ON A 2 LANE HIGHWAY, 90 EAST THRUWAY, BECAUSE SUDDEN CHANGE IN THE SPEED FROM 68 MPH TO ZERO SPEEDS WITHOUT ANY WARNING IN A MATTER OF LESS THAN 1 MINUTE. THERE WAS LOT OF TRAFFIC ON THE THRUWAY. TIMING OF THE INCIDENT WAS AT ABOUT 5 PM ON NOV.6, 2016. THERE WERE 2 OTHER PASSENGERS IN THE CAR. THIS WAS THE SCARIEST EXPERIENCE I EVER HAD. CAR WAS NOT SET FOR CRUISE CONTROL WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. THERE WERE NO EMERGENCY LIGHTS OR SIGNS VISIBLY OR NO NOISE ALERT AT ALL. I TOOK THE CAR TO SUBARU DEALER FOR A CHECK ON 11/ 8/2016 AND REPORTED THIS INCIDENT. SUBARU DEALER IN SERVICE REPORTED THAT THEY DIDN'T FIND THE CAUSE FOR THIS NEAR FATAL INCIDENT. SECOND NEAR MISS FATAL INCIDENT OCCURRED ON APRIL 21, 2016 AT ABOUT 3 PM.I WAS BACKING UP THE CARE IN A DRIVEWAY, VEHICLE SUDDENLY WOULD NOT STOP, BREAKS DIDN'T WORK, I HAD NO CONTROL OF THE STEERING WHEEL. I WAS ABLE TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN THE PARK TO GAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AGAIN. I TOOK THE CARE FOR A SERVICE AND REPORTED THIS INCIDENT TO SUBARU DEALER ON APRIL 22, 2016. SUBARU DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT WERE NOT ABLE TO FIND THE REASON FOR THIS TERRIBLE INCIDENT. SPEED AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT WAS 5 MPH, ESTIMATED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 SUBARU FORESTER. WHILE PARKING THE VEHICLE AND DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL AT 5 MPH, THE VEHICLE SURGED AND LURCHED FORWARD. AS A RESULT, A CRASH OCCURRED WITH SEVERAL OTHER VEHICLES. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES SUSTAINED.
