Subaru Forester

"The 2025 Subaru is a disappointment from my 2019, the display screen freezes, takes too long to tune in to different station, does not have a button for garage door openener, and many more display screen and other problems with the 2025 Subaru Forester."

"The display screen frequently takes significant time to respond. Supposedly Subaru says there's a built-in half-second delay so you can tap and then look back at the road. First, that doesn't work that way - I don't know if I've successfully tapped until I know it visually or via audio. Second, it is frequently much, much longer than a second. So I assume the screen is freezing."

"display screenn has a psychotic breakdown and needed to be replaced under warrannty"

""when i press an item on screen display it does not respond right away, its worse in cold weather till interior heats up. Brought back to Dealer and performed a radio software update to fix issue, now AOK""

"Trouble moving between music and podcast through Apple Car Play."

""took car in for "touch of class" service. about 1 mile after getting it back, the screen started psychotic random selection jumping from radio station to station, turning off/on seat heaters, ventilation, A/C, audio source. several times a second. No amount of manual override worked. returned to dealership immediately. problem continued. they took it and gave me a loaner. Turns out they had to replace the entire infotainment system""

"If using Google Maps, the onscreen map will only show a small portion of the route that is displayed on your phone. For some reason, it only shows the route on the bottom right hand side of the screen and you cannot enlarge the portion that you need to see. Once in awhile it works like a normal map should but it's better not to use Google Maps when you are trying to follow an onscreen map. The map that comes with the I-phone works the best."

"DCM part was replaced. Under warranty. No charge to us. No hassle. Part was repaired as soon as replacement arrived at the dealership"

"the phone charger doesn't work. On FB group that I am a member of, it seems to be a known problem. Subaru doesn't fix it."

"The new touch screen has made the car less safe to drive. You have to take your eyes off the road to use it and the icons are way too small."

""while driving in rain, the "eye sight" safety feature turns off and disables the cruise control and automatic braking. Also, the touch screen has a slow response or no response especially in cold weather.""

""Rudimentary system, not useful, find WAZE much more useful.""

"The DCM had failed prior to my purchasing the car. It did not properly communicate with the MySubaru app and had inability to 'save' SiriusXM radio stations. It was replaced under warranty."

""The charging pad in the vehicle does not charge the phone. Subaru is aware of this, but so far, have not provided a fix.""

"A car software update fixed a communication issue between iPhones and Apple CarPlay."

""Sometimes it does, and sometimes it doesn't. When it doesn't I have to pull off the road, and dig in my purse for my phone.""

"Radio doesnt always play it doesnt want to engage"

"Fixed with parts that fixed the Starlink problem"

"The speakers fade in and out for no perceptible reason. At least every other day"

"Started as soon as we bought. Voice control does not work for car systems."

"It is extraordinarily difficult to use. I can't just send a text or ask a question. One time we experimented with me, my husband and my son all trying to use it and saying different commands. Every time it responded that it couldn't understand us and to try again."

""Constantly have issues with Siri dialing correctly, getting correct directions and repeating wrong info.""

"We had to replace the battery with a higher crank battery"

"No real spare tire. No garage-door homelink. No heads-up dashboard display. Parking brake doesn't synch when transmission is shifted into Park."

""Sunroof developed or was cracked from the beginning and was replaced. Only saw it from inside the car when the cover was opened, because it is difficult to see the top of the vehicle due to railings and height""

"Driver side mirror vibrations"

"tire pressure uneven when picked up and out lf line. When fixed, tire pressures 10 lb too low - due to falty pressure guage at dealer"

"The Mpg is substantially lower than sticker."

"The heated seats were not heating up enough! We had to bring it back to the dealer for reprogramming. They are now hotter but not as hot as my Acura."

"recall on tire lug nuts."

""This is our 3rd Forester with heated seats. This one does NOT get as warm as prior cars. We've taken it in twice, nothing has changed. Disappointing ... we have lower back issues that require the heat on long trips...""

""The struts which hold up the lift gate stopped working, the gate tried to collapse when opened""

"No problems. Purchase 25Jul25."

"we were promised home link in top trim but it was not in car as delivered to us. Very disappointing!!!"

"I have only owned it for three days so I have no idea of the performance of the vehicle yet."

"It is VERY loud Driving over 40 mph with sunroof open. It makes it a useless feature."
