Subaru Forester

"climate control would change the set temperature on its own, lowering the setting 4 degrees at a time and would continue to lower the temperature until it reached the lowest possible setting."

"The temperature would reset on its own without any input"

"This happens frequently but did not occur in the first 2 years...the heat setting automatically drops to LOW, which is very cold. Now it does it regularly, and I cannot change the settings to avoid it,"

"The vehicle was not driven for 6 weeks while we were away on a long trip. When we returned, the vehicle, in the garage, would not start. The battery was so dead that the vehicle could not be jump started off of our 4-runner. We called Suburu roadside service and they sent a tow truck. The tow driver was able to start the car with a jump box, but Suburu recommended towing the vehicle to the dealer service center (at their expense). After checking, Suburu advised us that their was basically nothing wrong with the vehicle, only that with the Onstar and hotspot and environmental and other devices on the car, things are continually coming on and off even while the vehicle is idle. Suburu advised that the car needs to be started at least every 3 days to bring the battery back up to normal charge, else it can be severely drained. This is very disconcerting, as had we left this vehicle at the airport parking on our long trip, it very well could not have started when we returned, and it we would have had a very unpleasant end to our trip. The car really needs a manual total shutdown for all non-essential features to prevent this problem."

"When I purchased the car I bought the wireless app that goes with it one night the app stopped working I couldnt use the app to unlock or start may car .. I had to call starlink multiple times and they couldnt figure out what it was ..eventually I haas to take it to Subaru and they had to reprogram that car its been fine ever since"

"It was the same time issue with the app both nothing would work until I took it in to get reprogrammed"

"Loose trim in a wheel well, becoming loose and hitting wheel causing loud noises and damaging wheel, would not stay in place and required removal in order to drive"

"Thinnest paint job I have seen. First time I leaned into car, lightly touched door paint with metal and big scratch. Bird pecked at its shadow and scratches everywhere. Gas pump hose touched back and has worn down paint. Very very thin and scratches easily."

"Door collects rain water and doesn't allow it to drain out until the door is open. Large amount if raining at angle for more impact on window, if straight down, usually small amount compared if rain is angled onto window. Both front windows are subject to collecting fluid. Had to dealer after first noticed this, but they couldn't find anything wrong with it... It still collects water after a rain and I just watch out when I open the door and am aware that it will drain out as I open the door. I feel this is a set up for rust!"

"The vinyl portion of the drivers seat is cracking. Subaru won't fix it."

"Gas cap sensors malfunction causing all safety programs to turn off."

"Unable to downshift while in motion"

"unable to start. AAA got it started then went to dealer to fix issue"

"Had to replace front pads and rotors with only 30000 miles."

"The driver seat has a bad creaking problem"
