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.

THE CENTER REAR SHOULDER BELT THAT PULLS DOWN FROM THE CEILING IS TOO SHORT FOR AVERAGE SIZED PEOPLE. IT EASILY SWITCHES TO CHILD LOCK MODE OR DOES NOT FIT AN ADULT PASSENGER PROPERLY DUE TO ITS AWKWARD DESIGN.

ACCIDENTALLY PLACED MY HAND NEAR THE EDGE OF THE REAR POWER LIFT GATE WHEN IT WAS CLOSING. CLOSED ON MY FINGER AND DID NOT AUTO REVERSE. KEPT APPLYING FORCE UNTIL I MANAGED TO PULL MY FINGER OUT! DANGEROUS DESIGN

SMALL OBJECT HIT THE WINDSHIELD WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE. CRACK DEVELOPED LATER THAT DAY.

THERE IS INTERMITTENT SURGING UPON INITIAL ACCELERATION AND WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHER SPEEDS. THE BACK INTERIOR LIGHT WILL INTERMITTENTLY TURN ON WHILE ALL DOORS ARE CLOSED. THE PASSENGER SIDE SEATBELT SIGN COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY WHILE THERE'S NOTHING IN THE SEAT. THE BATTERY WILL DIE IF THE HAZARD LIGHTS ARE ON FOR 5 MINUTES OR 15 AND OTHERS WILL BE JUST FINE. THE CAMERA IN THE BACK OF THE CAR IS A BIT OBSTRUCTED BY THE REAR BUMPER.

WHILE ON DRIVING 65MPH ON THE HIGHWAY DURING THE EVENING RUSH HOUR AND SUDDENLY MY ACCELERATOR WAS UNRESPONSIVE IN THAT THE RPMS JUST REVVED (AS IF THE TRANSMISSION WAS SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL). I HAVE TWO SMALL, CHILDREN 2 YEAR OLD AND 6 MONTHS, AND HAD TO QUICKLY COAST OVER TO THE SHOULDER AND WAS ABLE TO EXIT THE HIGHWAY. THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF WHILE EXITING THE RAMP AND I HAD TO CALL 911 AND REQUEST AN EMERGENCY VEHICLE TO PARK BEHIND ME FOR MY SAFETY AS I WAS UNABLE TO PULL COMPLETELY OVER BEFORE THE VEHICLE STOPPED. I ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE BUT WAS UNSUCCESSFUL. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED AND AM STILL RESEARCHING HOW TO REPAIR. I HAD A 3 YEAR 36K MILE WARRANTY THAT HAS RECENTLY EXPIRED SINCE I'M CURRENTLY AT 46K MILES. THIS IS A SERIOUS CONCERN AS I'M FINDING THAT MY MODEL HAS NOT BEEN INCLUDED IN ANY TRANSMISSION RECALLS. FOR A CAR MANUFACTURER THAT PRIDES ITSELF IN THE HIGHEST OF SAFETY, THIS HAS TO BE THE UNSAFEST I'VE EVER FELT DRIVING A VEHICLE. I'M BASICALLY AT A LOSS ON WHAT TO DO AT THIS POINT BECAUSE I AM CONFIDENT THAT THE DEALERSHIP IS GOING TO RACK UP A BILL FOR REPAIR AND DIAGNOSTICS TO REPAIR MY ISSUE AND I'M GOING TO RESPONSIBLE FOR THE OUTRAGEOUS COST OF THEIR GUESSING GAME OF REPAIRS.

I'VE NOTICED THE WINDSHIELD GLASS IS EXTREMELY SUSCEPTIBLE TO ROCK CHIPPING FROM VERY SMALL STONES, AS IF THE GLASS IS EXTREMELY BRITTLE. THE CHIPPING, MOSTLY TINY POCKETS ABOUT 1/16" MAX IN THE SURFACE OF THE OUTER GLASS, OCCURS DURING NORMAL HIGHWAY DRIVING AND ESPECIALLY ON "FREEWAYS". ALTHOUGH MY REPORT DATE IS 10/10/19, THE CHIPPING HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR AT LEAST TWO YEARS.

THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH MY SUBRARU FORESTER 2017 FRONT PASSENGER SEAT OCCUPANT DETECTION SYSTEM (ODS) MALFUNCTIONS SAME AS IN MODEL YEAR (MY) 2016 THROUGH 2018 SUBARU FORESTER VEHICLES. THESE VEHICLES USE A CAPACITIVE TYPE ODS, WHICH IS INTENDED TO CLASSIFY THE OCCUPANT OF THE PASSENGER SEAT AS EITHER FULL-SIZED, SMALL STATURE, A CHILD SEAT OR OTHER OBJECT. THE COMPLAINTS REPORT THE ODS FAILED TO OPERATE PROPERLY, THE SRS (SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM) WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED, AND/OR THE ODS INCORRECTLY SUPPRESSED (TURNED OFF) THE FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG WHEN THE SEAT WAS OCCUPIED BY A FULL-SIZED PASSENGER. IN A FRONTAL CRASH SUFFICIENT TO WARRANT DEPLOYMENT, A SUPPRESSED AIR BAG MAY INCREASE THE RISK OF INJURY TO THE OCCUPANT OF THE SEAT. ODI OPENDED THIS INVESTIGATION TO ASSESS THE SCOPE, FREQUENCY, AND CONSEQUENCES OF THE ALLEGED DEFECT IN THE SUBJECT VEHICLES.

THE AIRBAG FAULT LIGHT COMES ON STEADILY.

I UNDERSTAND THE NHTSA IS INVESTIGATING POSSIBLE PASSENGER AIRBAG DEFECTS IN 2016-2018 SUBARU FORESTERS. THE PASSENGER AIRBAG SENSOR IN OUR 2017 FORESTER IS NOT WORKING ON A CONSISTENT BASIS AND HAS BEEN DEFECTIVE SINCE WE BOUGHT THE CAR.. MY WIFE NEEDS A SEAT CUSHION FOR HER BAD BACK AND MANY TIMES, WHEN MY WIFE SITS IN THE SEAT, THE AIR BAG STAYS IN THE "OFF" STATUS. WE ALSO FOUND THAT THE SAME ISSUE COMES UP WHEN SHE DOES NOT USE THE CUSHION. ALSO, WHEN SHE IS WEARING A WINTER COAT AND NOT USING HER CUSHION, THE SENSOR STAYS IN THE "AIRBAG OFF" POSITION. ALSO, WE FIND THAT THE AIR BAG STAYS "OFF" IF THE CAR IS RUNNING BEFORE SHE GETS INTO THE SEAT. IF SHE GETS INTO THE SEAT BEFORE THE CAR IS TURNED ON, WE FIND THAT THE AIRBAG SENSOR SEEMS TO WORK (NOT ALWAYS, BUT SOME OF THE TIME). THE DEALER HAS LOOKED AT THIS ISSUE SEVERAL TIMES AND CANNOT FIX THE SENSOR. I UNDERSTAND THAT THE SENSOR IS IN THE LOWER SEAT BACK AND NOT IN THE FLAT PART OF THE SEAT SO MY WIFE NEEDS TO ADJUST HER SITTING POSTURE FOR 5-10 MINUTES BEFORE THE AIRBAG "OFF" LIGHT GOES OFF. MY WIFE DOES NOT HAVE ANY ISSUES WHEN SHE IS DRIVING WITH HER SEAT CUSHION - WE ASSUME THE DRIVERS AIRBAG IS ALWAYS ON. ONCE WE ARE MOVING AND THE "OFF" LIGHT IS GONE, WE HAVE NO ISSUES WHILE DRIVING UNTIL THE NEXT TIME THE CAR IS TURNED OFF/ON. AGAIN - SOMETIMES IT WORKS -- SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T. NOT SAFE !!! *DT THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE HAS YET TO BE REPAIRED. *TR

THE PASSENGER AIR-BAG IS MALFUNCTIONING AS THE GEL LAYER IN THE SEAT IS MALFUNCTIONING.
Air bags, Oct 3, 2019
PURCHASED OUR 2017 SUBARU FORESTER ON 09/24/16. ON 09/05/17 THE WARNING LIGHT ON DASHBOARD CAME ON WARNING THAT THE PASSENGER AIRBAGS WERE NOT FUNCTIONING. THIS HAPPENED WHEN A PASSENGER WAS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND THE CAR WAS ON A HIGHWAY. THE WARNING LIGHT HAS COME ON 40-50 TIMES WHEN THE CAR IS ON THE ROAD AND A PASSENGER IS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. THE CAR WAS BROUGHT INTO DEALER AND I WAS TOLD MULTIPLE TIMES CODES WERE NOT THERE SO NO PROBLEM. WE WERE TOLD DO NOT PLACE ANYTHING ELECTRONIC NEAR THE SEAT. TOLD WE HAD SPILLED LIQUID ON SEAT AND SEAT DIRTY. NOTHING HAS EVER BEEN SPILLED ON THE SEATS. I FIND IT TROUBLING THAT A MAJOR SAFETY SYSTEM OF A VEHICLE IS MALFUNCTIONING ON A REGULAR BASIS AND THE SUBARU IS NOT ACTIVELY TRYING TO FIX THE VEHICLES. I WENT INTO DEALER TODAY ON 3 OCT 2019 TO AGAIN HAVE THE PROBLEM LOOKED AT ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT THE CAR IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY AND THEY CAN ORDER PART. I HAVE SEARCHED ONLINE AND IT IS INTERESTING TO SEE THAT SO MANY OTHER SUBARU FORESTER OWNERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND THERE ARE LAW GROUPS LINING UP CLASS ACTION SUITS. I WOULD JUST LIKE SUBARU TO TAKE OWNERSHIP OF THE PROBLEM AND FIX THE AIRBAG SYSTEMS BEFORE SOMEONE IS INJURED OR KILLED.
Other or unspecified, Oct 2, 2019, crash
WHILE PARKING THE CAR IN A PARKING LOT GOING AT 10 MPH, THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AT TOP SPEED WENT OVER A CURB AND HIT A TREE. THE CAR THEN WENT IN REVERSE AT FULL SPEED IN A CIRCLE APPROXIMATELY SIX TIMES UNTIL THE KEY COULD FINALLY BE REMOVED. THE BRAKES WERE WORKING BUT WOULD NOT STOP THE CAR.
Air bags, Structure, Oct 1, 2019, crash
INVOLVED IN A CAR ACCIDENT THAT WAS WHERE THE SUBARU WAS T-BONED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, RESULTING IN EXTENSIVE DAMAGE. BOTH FRONT AND REAR DOOR AND ALL PANELING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE SIDE AIRBAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY UPON IMPACT. MY VEHICLE WAS MOVING AT 40MPH AND THE VEHICLE THAT HIT ME WAS GOING 20-30MPH AND ACCELERATING. *DT *TR

THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG SENSOR DOES NOT ALWAYS KNOW WHEN AN ADULT IS SEATED IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG WILL REMAIN OFF EVEN WHEN AN ADULT IS SEATED WITH THE SEAT BELT ON. THE AIRBAG LIGHT WILL LIGHT UP ON THE DASH RANDOMLY BUT CLEARS ONCE THE VEHICLE IS SHUT OFF. THIS OCCURS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND IS CONCERNING AS THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG WOULD NOT DEPLOY IN A CRASH.

I WAS DRIVING MY FORRESTER 2019, NOTICE THAT IT WOULD SLOWLY MOVE ONCE I STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN. BUT THEN IT WOULD JERK INTO A FASTER PACE. YESTERDAY AS I WAS DRIVING, I STOP AT A BANK ATM. WHEN I WENT BACK TO THE VEHICLE I PUT MY KEY IN THE IGNITION AND NOTHING HAPPENED. NOT A SOUND. SO TRIED IT SEVERAL MORE TIMES WITH THE SAME RESULTS. I HAD TO CALL FOR ROADSIDE SERVICE. THEY CAME AND GAVE ME A JUMP. THE VEHICLE STARTED WITH NO PROBLEM. I DID AS THE SERVICE PERSON TOLD ME TO LET THE VEHICLE RUN FOR AT LEAST 30 MINUTES SO THE CELLS CAN BUILD UP IN THE BATTERY, SO I DID AS I WAS TOLD. AS I WOULD TURN THE CORNERS ON THE STREETS-THE STEERING BECAME VERY DIFFICULT, (IN BOTH DIRECTIONS). ESPECIALLY AFTER TURNING AT A STOP SIGN, SO AS I WERE DRIVING I NOTICE THE DASH BOARD WOULD KEEP BLINKING. I TOOK A PHOTO OF THE GAGES ON THE DASHBOARD. THE EYESIGHT LIGHT STAYED, BUT THE OTHERS KEPT BLINKING OFF AND ON. I DROVE THE VEHICLE HOME AND TRIED TO PARALLEL PARK IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE BUT THE WHEELS WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO DO SO. SO I PARKED THE CAR ACROSS THE STREET WHERE THEIR WERE A LOT MORE SPACE AND I PARKED THERE. I SET THERE FOR ANOTHER 30 MINUTE BEFORE TURNING OFF THE ENGINE. ONCE I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF AND TRIED TO START THE ENGINE AGAIN IT FELL TO TURN OVER. NO SOUND OR ANYTHING JUST LIKE EARLIER. IN 2018 THEY REPLACE MY BATTERY, BECAUSE I WAS HAVING TO CALL FOR ROADSIDE SERVICE UP TO 3-4 TIMES A WEEK BECAUSE THE BATTERY WOULD DIE OUT ON ME. ALL THIS TOOK PLACE IN A PERIOD OF 3-4 MONTHS. NOW THIS BATTERY IS APPROXIMATELY 10-12 MONTHS OLD. WHEN I TOOK IT IN FOR THE NEW BATTERY, I WAS TOLD THE BATTERY WAS TO SMALL FOR THE CAR. SO NOW I AM STUCK AT HOME WITHOUT A VEHICLE UNTIL THE SUBARU SHOP OPENS ON MONDAY AND HOPEFULLY THEY CAN FIX THE PROBLEM. I'VE NEVER HAD A 2 YEAR OLD VEHICLE THAT'S GIVEN ME THIS MANY PROBLEMS.

2017 SUBARU FORESTER WITH 45,000 MILES - AIR BAG SENSOR WENT OUT UNEXPECTEDLY (AS SHOWN BY A RED AIRBAG LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD) AIR BAG WOULD NOT DEPLOY IF THE CAR WERE TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT EVEN WHEN THERE WAS A PERSON IN THE PASSENGER SEAT OF THE CAR. LIGHT WOULD INDICATE THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED. LIGHT WOULD TURN OFF ON OCCASION AND THEN TURN BACK ON, EVEN WITH NO CHANGE IN WEIGHT ON THE SEAT, INDICATING THAT THE SENSOR WAS FAULTY. NOTHING WAS SPILLED ON THE SEAT WHERE THE SENSOR IS LOCATED NOR SHOULD THERE BE ANY OTHER REASON THAT THE SENSOR SHOULD STOP WORKING AT ONLY 45,000 MILES. THIS WAS PURELY AN EQUIPMENT MALFUNCTION.

OFTEN I CANNOT INITIALLY REMOVE THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION AFTER I HAVE PUT THE TRANSMISSION IN PARK, AFTER I HAVE STOPPED THE CAR AND AM READY TO SHUT OFF THE ENGINE. I THEN HAVE TO MOVE THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION TO DRIVE AND THEN BACK TO PARK AT LEAST ONE MORE TIME BEFORE THE KEY WILL FINALLY MOVE TO THE FAR LEFT AND ALLOW ME TO REMOVE IT AND SHUT OFF THE ENGINE. THIS HAS STARTED HAPPENING ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO (THE CAR HAS 41K MILES AND MOST RECENTLY YESTERDAY AFTER PARKING IT IN MY GARAGE ON LEVEL GROUND!

THIS IS THE SECOND CAR REFERENCED UNDER COMPLAINT 11258187. THE SRS AIRBAG SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT BEGAN TO OCCASIONALLY ALERT AND TURN OFF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG AT ABOUT 25,000 MILES IN BOTH OF OUR 2 YEAR OLD 2017 SUBARU FORESTERS. NOW THE PASSENGER AIRBAG TURNS OFF WHEN JUST ABOUT ANYTHING IS PUT INTO THE FRONT SEAT. THIS HAPPENS BOTH WHEN THE CAR IS RUNNING WHILE IT IS STATIONARY OR WHEN IT IS IN MOTION. NEITHER CAR HAS BEEN INVOLVED IN AN INCIDENT/ACCIDENT.

OUR DEFECTIVE, NOW DISCONTINUED MODEL, NEW 2017 SUBARU FORESTER XT TOURING HAS BROKEN DOWN WHILE ACCELERATING ON THE HIGHWAY TWICE DUE TO A FAULTY PISTON THUS LEADING TO OUR ENGINE BEING REPLACED. THE FIRST TIME THE CAR WAS MOVING EAST ON I-70 IN COLORADO AND LUCKILY MY HUSBAND WAS ABLE TO VEER IN THE MEDIAN OF AN EXIT RAMP. THE SECOND TIME WE WERE TRAVELING EAST ON I-70 AGAIN AND LUCKILY WERE ABLE TO PULL OFF ON THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY. THIS ALL BEGAN AT 22,352 MILES AND TO-DATE THE "MARKET VALUE" OF REPAIRS HAS ACCUMULATED TO $16,100.00. THIS SAME ENGINE ISSUE HAS HAPPENED TWO YEARS IN A ROW, YET A SUBARU REPRESENTATIVE [VERBALLY, NOT WRITTEN] MENTIONED TO US THAT IT IS CHEAPER FOR SUBARU TO FIX VEHICLE BY VEHICLE THAT COMES IN INSTEAD OF ISSUING A NATION-WIDE RECALL ON OUR MODEL. WE WERE TOLD OUR FORESTER XT [MINI SUV] HAS THE SAME ENGINE THAT IS IN AN IMPREZA [FOUR DOOR SEDAN] WHICH IS NOT SAFE AND IS NOT RIGHT TO THE CONSUMER.

MY SUBARU FORRESTER 2017 AIRBAG SENSOR CAME ON FOR FRIDAY AND SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 20 AND 21 WHILE DRIVING AND STATIONERY IN MY DRIVEWAY.TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND NO ONE WAS AVAILABLE TO PERFORM A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. SCHEDULE THIS MONDAY 23 AND THE SENSOR REQUIRED TO ONE. COST $961.00. CALLED SUBARU HEADQUARTERS AND ASKED ABOUT MY EXTENDED WARRANTY AND DOES NOT COVER. HOWEVER SINCE THIS WAS NOT MY FAULT, THEY WILL DO THE REPAIRS AT NO CHARGE. AWAITING FOR PARTS TO BE DELIVERED SO THAT I CAN BRING MY CAR IN FOR REPAIRS.

MY SMS MANUAL AIRBAG WARNING CAME ON AND TOLD ME TO REFER TO THE MANUAL. I SAW MY PASSENGER AIRBAG WAS NO LONGER ON, EVEN THOUGH I HAD A PASSENGER IN THE FRONT SEAT BELTED IN. I NOTICED THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE, ONE THAT IS BEING INVESTIGATED. FOR A 2017 VEHICLE, THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING.

WHILE OPERATING MY SUBARU FORESTER AN ICON APPEARED ON THE DASH INDICATING THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE AIRBAGS, AT THE SAME TIME THE WARNING LIGHT INDICATING THAT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WAS OFF EVEN THOUGH MY WIFE WAS SEATED IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND HAD THE CAR EXAMINED AND WAS TOLD THAT THE PASSENGER OCCUPANCY SENSOR WAS FAILING AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE IS LESS THAN 3 YEARS OLD BUT HAS 52643 MILES ON IT AS I TRAVEL THROUGHOUT NEW ENGLAND ON BUSINESS, MOST OF THOSE MILES THE PASSENGER SEAT IS UNOCCUPIED. THEY ALSO TOLD ME THE EXTENDED WARRANTY WE HAD PURCHASED WOULD NOT COVER THE REPAIRS EVEN THOUGH AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE WE WERE TOLD IT WAS THE BEST WAY TO PAY FOR ANY EXPENSIVE ELECTRICAL REPAIRS THAT MIGHT POP UP. I HAD THE DEFECTIVE SENSOR REPLACED FOR $1.178.50. IT IS MY BELIEF THAT THE SENSOR WAS IN FACT A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT AND THE REPLACEMENT SHOULD HAVE BEEN AT NO COST TO ME DUE TO ITS FAILURE TO PERFORM.
