2012 SUBARU FORESTER Complaints

FUEL MILEAGE WAY OUT OF WHACK. ON HIGHWAY AT 100-110 KMH AVERAGES 11 L/100KM SUNROOF LEAKS WHEN GOING THROUGH CAR WASH. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 SUBARU FORESTER. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 5 MPH AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE MAINTAINED THE SAME SPEED ONCE THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS RELEASED FOR APPROXIMATELY THREE MINUTES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO CONFIRMED THE FAILURE BUT ADVISED THERE WAS NOTHING THAT COULD BE DONE TO CORRECT IT. THE DEALER NOTIFIED THE MANUFACTURER WHO ADVISED THE DEALER THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PERFORMING AS DESIGNED, AND OFFERED NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 4,800. THE CONSUMER STATED IT WAS APPARENT, THAT WHEN HE REMOVED HIS FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR, THE VEHICLE MAINTAINED ITS SPEED FOR TWO OR THREE SECONDS. THE DEALER VERIFIED THE ISSUE AS A SOFTWARE PROBLEM. HOWEVER, THE DEALER WAS INFORMED IT WAS NORMAL AND IT WOULD NOT BE CORRECTED. UPDATED EVOQ 01/26/12

WHILE DRIVING ON A MAIN ROUTE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT KICKED ON AND PROCEEDED TO FLASH WHILE THE STABILITY/TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON DISABLING THE TRACTION CONTROL. THIS LASTED APPROXIMATELY 10-15 SECONDS, ALL LIGHTS KICKED OFF AND SEEMED OKAY. A COUPLE OF DAYS LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED ONLY NOW THE CRUISE CONTROL LIGHT WAS ON AND FLASHING, CHECK ENGINE WAS SOLID AND STABILITY/TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT WAS ON. AT THAT TIME ALL THE LIGHTS STAY ON UNTIL THE CODES ARE CLEARED, UNTIL THAT IS DONE, STABILITY/TRACTION CONTROL AND CRUISE CONTROL DO NOT WORK. *TR
