2016 SUBARU FORESTER Complaints

CAR HAS 15000 MILES-USES ONE QUART OF OIL EVERY 2000 MILES-THIS MUCH OIL CONSUMPTION INDICATES A SERIOUS PROBLEM. CAR WAS PURCHASED ON 03/05/2016.

THE TAILGATE ON MY 2016 FORESTER IS SO LOW WHEN OPENED THAT I HIT MY HEAD ON IT EVERY TIME I REACH INTO THE CAR. I AM 6 FEET TALL. OTHER PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME EXPERIENCE WITH MY TAILGATE. I HAD AN EARLIER MODEL FORESTER WHERE THIS WAS NOT AN ISSUE. THE SUBARU DEALERS I COMPLAINED TO SAID THAT THE HINGES WERE DESIGNED SO THAT A LONGER SHOCK ABSORBER OR OTHER AFTER-MARKET FIX WAS NOT AVAILABLE AND THE PROBLEM COULD NOT BE FIXED UNTIL THE MODEL DESIGN WAS CHANGED. THIS IS DANGEROUS!!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 SUBARU FORESTER. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN REVERSE, IT ACCELERATED AND CRASHED INTO A PARKED VEHICLE WITHOUT WARNING. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE FAILURE RECURRED, BUT ONLY WHEN THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO SHIFT INTO REVERSE. THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THIS TYPE OF FAILURE HAD NEVER BEFORE OCCURRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 1,800.

WHEN YOU GO FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE THERE IS A LAG TIME IN THE TRANSMISSION. OR IF YOU GO FROM PARK TO DRIVE ITS THE SAME. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AS YOU RELY ON YOUR CAR MOVING WHEN YOU SHIFT FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE (E.G., WHEN YOU BACK OUT OF YOUR DRIVEWAY). WE WENT TO THE DEALER. THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME THAT THEY HAVE HAD A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BUT HE ALSO SAID IT WAS ONE OF THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE VEHICLE. THIS TO ME IS VERY DANGEROUS.

APPARENT DEFECTIVE VALVES ON YOKOHAMA GEOLANDER G91-F STOCK TIRES THAT CAME WITH THE NEW VEHICLE. CAR WITH ONLY 7,626 MILES, MINIMAL TREAD WEAR, TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY @ 65MPH LOW TIRE PRESSURE INDICATOR COMES ON, AND ~ 5 SEC LATER THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE TIRE JUST COMPLETELY SHREDDING. OUTSIDE WALL COMPLETELY SEPARATING AND TIRE VALVE NOWHERE TO BE FOUND. DRIVEN MINI SPARE TO LOCAL FIRESTONE TIRE CENTER. TOLD TO KEEP THE TIRE AS EVIDENCE, NO PUNCTURE NOTED. NOT ONE MONTH LATER, LOW PRESSURE LIGHT AGAIN WHILE DRIVING @ 65MPH ON ANOTHER HIGHWAY, THIS TIME THE FRONT PASSENGER TIRE NOW WITH A LEAK. CHECKED AND STOPPED MULTIPLE TIMES TO ENSURE ONLY A SLOW LEAK. ABLE TO BE SEEN AT A NEARBY COSTCO TIRE CENTER AND DIAGNOSED WITH A SLOW LEAK COMING FROM THE TIRE VALVE. 2 DIFFERENT STOCK YOKOHAMA TIRES BOTH WITH VERY LOW MILES, ONE WITH DEVASTATING BLOW OUT APPARENTLY OCCURRING ABOUT THE TIRE VALVE, THE SECOND TIRE WITH A SLOW DEFECTIVE VALVE LEAK. NO PUNCTURES NOTED WHEN EXAMINED AT EITHER TIRE CENTER.

WE GOT OUR 2016 SUBARU FORESTER PREMIUM 2.5I FROM BAY RIDGE DEALER IN BROOKLYN ON JUNE 7,2016.

I OWN A THREE-MONTH OLD 2016 SUBARU FORESTER. I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING BREATHING ISSUES SINCE THE WEATHER HAS TURNED HOT. BROUGHT THE CAR INTO DEALER BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WAS MOLD. THEY CHECKED IT OUT AND SAID NO MOLD FOUND. THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IT CAN BE. I BELIEVE SOMETHING IN THE INTERIOR OF THE CAR IS CAUSING AN ALLERGIC REACTION. THIS IS NOT MY FIRST NEW CAR AND I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS REACTION BEFORE, HOWEVER, THIS IS MY FIRST NEW SUBARU.

WHEN YOU GO FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE THERE IS A LAG TIME IN THE TRANSMISSION. OR IF YOU GO FROM PARK TO DRIVE ITS THE SAME. IF YOUR ON AN INCLINE IT MAKES YOU HIT THE GAS TO ACCELERATE. AND IF YOU WERE TO PULL A TRAILER AND YOU ARE ON A SMALL HILL IT FEELS LIKE THE CAR IS IN NEUTRAL WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS. WE ONLY HAVE 3700 MILES ON THE CAR. I HAVE CONTACTED SUBARU CORP AND THEY TOLD ME TO GO TO THE DEALER, WHICH I DID. THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME THAT THEY HAVE HAD A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BUT HE ALSO SAID IT WAS ONE OF THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE VEHICLE. THIS TO ME IS VERY DANGEROUS. I WAS TOLD THERE IS NO FIX. THE DEALER ASKED HOW COME I HADN'T NOTICED THIS WHEN WE FIRST TRIED THE VEHICLE. AS I TOLD HIM ITS MY WIFES CAR AND I DRIVE MY OWN VEHICLE AND I DIDN'T NOTICE IT TILL SHE TOLD ME TO TRY IT OUT. I WOULDN'T RECOMMEND ANYONE TO BUY A 2016 SUBARU FORESTER UNTIL THEY HAVE TRIED IT FOR A WHILE.
