Recalls and investigations
Air bags, sensor, occupant classificationOct 3, 2019
Subaru of America, Inc. (Subaru) is recalling certain 2015-2018 Forester vehicles equipped with heated seats. An electrical connection in the front passenger seat for the Occupant Detection System (ODS) may loosen.
If the connection loosens, the front passenger airbag may deactivate even though the seat is occupied, increasing the risk of injury to the front passenger in the event of a crash.
Subaru will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and, as necessary, replace the ODS sensor mat harness, free of charge. The recall began February 11, 2020. Owners may contact Subaru customer service at 1-844-373-6614. Subaru's number for this recall is WUM-98.

Exterior lighting, brake lights, switchFeb 28, 2019
Subaru of America, Inc. (Subaru) is recalling certain 2014-2016 Forester, 2008-2016 Impreza sedans, 2012-2016 Impreza station wagons, 2008-2014 WRX sedans (including STI), and 2013-2017 Crosstrek vehicles. Exposure to certain contaminants may cause the brake light switch to malfunction, preventing the brake lights from illuminating and also preventing keyless ignition vehicles from starting and CVT/automatic transmissions from being able to be shifted out of Park.
Brake lights that do not illuminate properly will not alert other drivers that the vehicle is slowing or stopping, increasing the risk of crash.
Subaru will notify owners, and dealers will replace the brake light switch, free of charge. The recall began April 15, 2019. Owners may contact Subaru customer service at 1-844-373-6614. Subaru's number for this recall is WUE-90.

WHEN USING LIGHT ACCELERATION SUCH AS IN A PARKING LOT OR AT A RED LIGHT OR STOP SIGN TO START GOING THE VEHICLE BUCKS FORWARD IT WILL LITERALLY MAKE YOU JERK BACK IN THE SEAT. ALSO WHILE PULLING ONTO A STREET IT JERKS FORWARD BUT HAS HESITATION WHICH ISNT TO SAFE IF YOU ASK ME WHEN TRYING TO GET OUT ON THE ROAD IF CARS ARE COMING...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2015 SUBARU FORESTER. WHILE THE CONTACT'S HUSBAND WAS DRIVING 40 MPH, THE TRAFFIC STOPPED ABRUPTLY AND HE CRASHED INTO THE REAR OF A FORD EXPLORER. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. IN ADDITION, THE DRIVER'S BODY LUNGED FORWARD AND STRUCK THE STEERING WHEEL. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE CHEST AND RIBS THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO GRAYSON SUBARU (8729 KINGSTON PIKE, KNOXVILLE, TN 37923, 865-693-4550), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE INSURANCE COMPANY DEEMED THE VEHICLE A TOTAL LOSS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 107,460.

THE CAR WAS PARKED ON A CITY STREET, NOT RUNNING. WHEN I APPROACHED TO ENTER THE CAR IN THE MORNING, AFTER CLICKING THE UNLOCK BUTTON BUT BEFORE TOUCHING THE CAR, THE REAR WINDSHIELD SPONTANEOUSLY SHATTERED INTO HUNDREDS OF PIECES. NOTHING HIT OR FELL ON THE CAR, NO ONE WAS TOUCHING IT NOR IN IT. IT SIMPLY SHATTERED AND BROKE AS IT WAS SITTING THERE STATIONARY AND OFF.

TWICE IN THE LAST FOUR MONTHS VEHICLE HAS RUN OUT OF GAS WHILE TRAVELING ON A LEVEL HIGHWAY DESPITE GAS GAUGE INDICATING THAT THERE WAS 70 MILES STILL TO TRAVEL AND THE GAS GAUGE READING ONE BAR. LOW FUEL WARNING INDICATOR DID NOT DISPLAY.
Fuel/propulsion system, Mar 8, 2019
SEVERAL TIMES WHEN I SLOW TO TURN OR SLOW IN TRAFFIC THEN TRY TO ACCELERATE, THE CAR DOESN'T RESPOND. WHEN I DEPRESS THE ACCELERATOR AGAIN, IT BUCKS AND SURGES FORWARD IN A JERKING MOTION. ITS DANGEROUS BECAUSE SOMEONE FOLLOWING BEHIND ME IN A TURN COULD RUN INTO ME OR IN TRAFFIC , I COULD SUDDENLY SURGE INTO SOMEONE ELSE'S CAR. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, THE ONLY REPORT I GOT WHEN I PICKED IT UP WAS THAT THEY HAD RE-PROGRAMMED THE COMPUTER AND TEST DROVE IT. THAT WAS 2 MONTHS AGO AND NOW I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN. EVERY INCIDENT TOOK PLACE ON CITY STREETS. I AM ALARMED ABOUT THE OTHER REPORTS I AM SEEING ON THIS AND SIMILAR LOSS OF CONTROL ISSUES.

MY CAR DIES AT HIGHWAY SPEED WITH ABSOLUTELY NO WARNING. IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME TWICE AND TO A TECHNICIAN FROM A SUBARU DEALERSHIP ONCE. I HAVE TRIED TO RESOLVE THIS WITH SUBARU TO NO AVAIL. HERE IS A SUMMARY: ON AUGUST 31, 2018 I HAD BEEN DRIVING AT FREEWAY SPEED FOR ABOUT TWO HOURS. THE TRIP COMPUTER SAID I HAD 70 MILES TILL EMPTY BUT THE LOW FUEL LIGHT HAD NOT COME ON. THE CAR BEHAVED AS IF IT HAD RUN OUT OF GAS. THE ENGINE REV'D LIKE IT SLIPPED OUT OF GEAR, THEN COMPLETELY QUIT. ZERO WARNING. FOR THE NEXT 90 MINUTES I WOULD TRY TO START THE CAR EVERY 20 MINUTES OR SO. THE ENGINE WOULD TURN, BUT NO INDICATION IT WAS GETTING ANY FUEL. I LOOKED AT SEVERAL FORESTER BLOGS AND FOUND MANY IDENTICAL INCIDENTS (HIGHWAY SPEED, LESS THAN A QUARTER TANK, ENGINE REVS THEN DIES). ONE POST SAID THAT AFTER FILLING THE TANK IT WOULD START. A TOW TRUCK TOOK ME TO A GAS STATION WHERE I FILLED IT WITH ~13.5 GALLONS OF GAS. THAT MEANS THE TANK HAD ABOUT 2.4 GALLONS LEFT AND @30MPG=72 MILES JUST LIKE THE TRIP COMPUTER SAID. THAT'S ALL I DID, AND THE CAR STARTED IMMEDIATELY. MY LOCAL SUBARU DEALER HAD THE CAR FOR A FEW WEEKS AND WORKED WITH SUBARU TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. THEY DETECTED AN ERROR WITH THE FUEL PRESSURE SENDING UNITS AND REPLACED THEM. STILL DURING MULTIPLE TEST DRIVES AFTER THE SENSORS WERE REPLACED THEIR TECHNICIAN HAD THE EXACT SAME FAILURE AS I DID. ON JANUARY 2, 2019 IT DIED ON ME AGAIN. GOING 60 MPH ON A TWO-LANE HIGHWAY WITH 40 MILES TILL EMPTY. THE DEALER THEN HAD THE CAR FOR OVER A MONTH AND CONSULTED WITH SUBARU AGAIN. THEY TEST DROVE IT FOR NEARLY 300 MILES WITH SPECIAL INSTRUMENTS ATTACHED BUT COULDN'T GET THE PROBLEM TO HAPPEN AGAIN. THEY FINALLY RETURNED IT TO ME BUT COULD NOT DETERMINE A ROOT CAUSE. SEARCHING THE INTERNET, YOU CAN FIND MANY REPORTS FROM OTHER OWNERS OF EXACTLY THE SAME TYPE OF PROBLEM WITH SIMILAR VINTAGE SUBARU FORESTERS.
Exterior lighting, Mar 5, 2019, crash
THIS COMPLAINT IS POTENTIALLY RELATED TO NHTSA RECALL ID NUMBER :19V149 WHILE WE HAVE NOT NOTICED BREAK LIGHTS NOT OPERATING PROPERLY, THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN REAR ENDED TWICE, IN 2017 AND IN 2018, POSSIBLY INDICATING THAT BREAK SWITCH WAS INTERMITTENTLY FAULTY.

THE CV AXLE JOINT WENT BAD AT 90K. CLICKING NOISE. I THOUGHT THAT WAS AN ISSUE FOR DOWN THE ROAD. SUBARU CORP GAVE ME A $500 COUPON FOR THE RIGHT FRONT AXLE GOING BAD. APPROXIMATELY 5 MONTHS LATER, THAT AXLE HAD TO BE REPLACED. ALSO BOTH BACK WHEEL BEARINGS HAD TO BE REPLACED. CURRENTLY, THE DRIVER SIDE CV JOINT SOUNDS LIKE IT IS GOING BAD AGAIN. ABOUT 60K LATER. WEAK PARTS. THIS IS A PROGRESSIVE ISSUE AND NOT A SUDDEN ONE.

WHEN HIGHWAY DRIVING MULTIPLE WARNING LIGHTS ARE ILLUMINATED ON DASH, TRACTION CONTROL, EYESIGHT, CRUISE CONTROL OFF, HILL ASSIST. THE EYESIGHT SYSTEMS ARE DISABLED SHUTTING OFF CRUISE CONTROL. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE REAR BRAKES LIGHT ARE NOT WORKING. WHEN THE CAR IS THE SHUT OFF THEN RESTARTED AND THE BRAKE IS DEPRESSED THE CAR WILL NOT COME OUT OF PARK AFTER STARTING. THIS HAPPENS WHEN IT IS RESET AFTER THE CAR SITS OFF OVERNIGHT. THE LAST TIME I COULD NOT GET IT OUT OF THE PARK I WENT BEHIND THE BRAKE PEDAL AND MOVE THE BRAKE SWITCH AND PRESSED THE CONNECTION ON TOP IN. THIS RESET THE SYSTEM AND I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR OUT OF PARK AND ALL THE WARNING LIGHT ON THE DASH DISAPPEARED. THE STOPLIGHT SWITCH/BRAKE SWITCH PART #83311FJ001 IS DEFECTIVE. ON 3/1/19 SUBARU ANNOUNCED A RECALL NOT SURE IF IT'S THIS PART/ISSUES BUT I AM HOPING IT IS.
Air bags, Seat belts, Seats, Feb 23, 2019
THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT FIRST CAME ON AS SOON AS I STARTED MY CAR ONE MORNING IN MID-OCTOBER 2018, IN WHICH I TOOK MY CAR TO SUBARU OF KENNESAW, GA TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT. THEY FIRST ASKED IF I HAD SPILLED ANYTHING ON THE FRONT SEAT (IN WHICH I RESPONDED "NO") AND THEN ADVISED ME THAT THE WHOLE SEAT BOTTOM WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED (ABOUT $989 PARTS AND LABOR) AND THAT THE PART WAS ON BACK-ORDER. I FOLLOWED-UP WITH THEM IN DECEMBER 2018 AND NEVER HEARD BACK. WHEN I RECENTLY WENT THERE FOR AN OIL CHANGE FEBRUARY 18, 2019 THEY BROUGHT THE ISSUE UP TO ME AGAIN, IN WHICH I RESPONDED THAT NOBODY EVER RETURNED MY CALL. THEY CHECKED AGAIN TO SEE IF THEY HAD THE PART BUT STATED IT IS STILL ON A NATIONWIDE BACK-ORDER. WE ARE NOW GOING ON 5+ MONTHS OF MY PASSENGER AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT BEING ON (IT SOMETIMES TURNS OFF INTERMITTENTLY, BUT IN THOSE INSTANCES THE PASSENGER SEATBELT LIGHT WILL COME ON AND DING REPEATEDLY UNTIL THE SEATBELT IS PLUGGED IN - EVEN IF THERE IS NO PASSENGER). I HAVE DONE QUITE A BIT OF RESEARCH INTO THIS ISSUE AND IT SEEMS LIKE A LOT OF OTHER CONSUMERS ARE EXPERIENCING SIMILAR ISSUES. SUBARU SEEMS TO HAVE DIFFERENT EXPLANATIONS AND SEEMS VERY UNWILLING TO FIX THEIR FAULTY PASSENGER SEAT SENSORS. IT IS UPSETTING AND DISCOURAGING TO KNOW THAT THEY HAVE ALLOWED ME TO DRIVE AROUND THIS LONG WITH A DEFECTIVE AIRBAG/PASSENGER SEAT SENSOR.

THE EYE SIGHT SYSTEM WILL TURN OFF WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WHICH IN TURN TURNS OFF THE CRUISE CONTROL. AND THE AUTOMATIC BRAKE THEN DOESN'T WORK, WHICH BECOMES VERY DANGEROUS IN TRAFFIC.

DRIVERS SIDE LOWER CONTROL ARM HAVE WORN OUT TWICE WITH IN 24 MONTHS. ON ANY STREET OR HIGHHWAY WAS GETTING A KNOCKING NOISE. FIRST TIME MY PRIVATE MECHANIC STATED IT WAS BAD. TOOK IT TO DEALER THEIR MECHANIC SAID THERE WAS NO PROBLEM. FEW WEEKS LATER WENT BACK TO DEALER FOR SAME REASON. THEN THEY ADMITTED IT WAS BAD AND REPAIRED. NOW ON 2/18/19 I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. WENT TO THE DEALER THEIR MECHANIC SAID EVERYTHING WAS FINE . EVERYTHING NICE AND TIGHT. TOOK THE VEHICLE WHICH WAS STILL MAKING THE NOISE FOR STATE INSPECTION HE STATED THE LOWER CONTROL ARM WAS BAD . NOW I MUST GO BACK TO THE DEALER FOR THEM TO GET WARRANTY APPROVAL TO REPAIR. THIS IS CONSTANTLY MAKING ME DO EVERYTHING TWICE BECAUSE THE DEALER MECHANIC FAILS TI BE HONEST.

WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS THROUGH A PARKING LOT OR SLOW MOVING TRAFFIC THE CAR WILL STALL. IT'S A 2015 FORESTER TURBO WITH A CVT TRANSMISSION. IF PUT IN PARK, IT WILL RESTART AND GO AGAIN. STALLING ON THE ROADS AND IN PARKING LOTS IS UNSAFE. IT DOESN'T THROW ANY CODES SO THERE'S NOTHING THE DEALER CAN DO.

WHILE COMPLETING A TIRE ROTATION, I PLACED THE SPARE TIRE ON THE HUB AS A PLACEHOLDER WHILE I MOVED ON TO OTHER WHEELS. I HAND TIGHTENED THE LUGNUTS HOLDING THE SPARE ON (NO WRENCH, NO OVER TORQUEING). I LEFT THE DRIVER FRONT JACKED UP SUPPORTED BY A JACK STAND WHILE I COMPLETED THE REST OF THE TIRE ROTATION; THE SPARE WAS NEVER LOWERED TO THE GROUND AND WEIGHTED, IT WAS SIMPLY INSTALLED AS A BACKUP TO MY JACK STAND. WHEN I CAME BACK TO THE DRIVER FRONT TO REMOVE THE SPARE AND INSTALL THE NORMAL WHEEL, 2 OF THE 5 LUGNUTS THAT I HAD HAND TIGHTENED SEIZED. WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO REMOVE THEM AFTER APPLICATION OF PENETRATING OIL, TWO OF THE STUDS SNAPPED RENDERING THE CAR ENTIRELY UNSAFE TO DRIVE. WHEN I WENT AROUND THE CAR WITH A TORQUE WRENCH SET TO THE MANUAL SPECIFIED TORQUE OF 89 FT/LBS A THIRD STUD STRIPPED. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT CAUSED THE STUDS TO SNAP OR STRIP. I DID NOT OVER TORQUE THE LUGNUTS, THEY WERE HAND TIGHTENED LESS THAN 30 MINUTES PRIOR. THERE IS NO REASON FOR HAND TIGHTENED LUGNUTS TO SEIZE ON A WHEEL STUD AND CAUSE THE LUGNUTS TO SNAP OTHER THAN DEFICIENCY OR WEAKNESS OF THE WHEEL STUD. I HAVE NEVER OVER TORQUED THE WHEELS; I ALWAYS USE A TORQUE WRENCH SET TO 89FT/LBS AS SPECIFIED IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL TO TIGHTEN THE LUGNUTS. I DID NOT CROSS THREAD THE LUGNUTS; I RAN THEM DOWN BY HAND TO ENSURE THAT THEY WERE CORRECTLY INSTALLED. MY RESEARCH ON VARIOUS SUBARU ONLINE FORUMS SUGGESTED THAT THE WHEEL STUDS COMMONLY FAIL AND MANY USERS SUGGESTED REPLACING ALL WHEEL STUDS WITH AFTERMARKET HARDENED RACING STUDS RATHER THAN INSTALLING NEW OEM PARTS. WHEN I CONTACTED SUBARU I RECEIVED THE RESPONSE "SUBARU APPRECIATES YOUR TIME IN COMMUNICATING WITH US, HOWEVER WE DO NOT INVESTIGATE EVERY CONCERN THAT IS REPORTED TO US."

OIL CONSUMPTION!! I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN JUNE 2017 WITH 67,000 MILES WITH IN MONTH I WAS BURNING 1-2 QUARTS OF OIL. NOW THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT OUT THERE BUT ONLY THRU 2014 NOT ON MINE APPARENTLY. NOW HERE I AM 1.5 YEARS LATER AND STILL BURNING 1-2 QUARTS OF OIL IN BETWEEN THE 5,000 MILE OIL CHANGE.
