2014 Subaru Forester

WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH, THE CAR SUDDENLY LOST POWER, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, AND I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE. I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY PULL OVER TO THE RIGHT SIDE, TURNED OFF THE CAR, AND RESTARTED IT - IT WORKED. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN, TWO DAYS LATER UNDER THE EXACT SAME CIRCUMSTANCES. IT HAPPENED ONCE BEFORE, ABOUT A YEAR AGO, WHILE DRIVING ON LOCAL ROADS AT ABOUT 25 MPH, AND THE "ERROR CODE" SAID THAT THE ACCELERATOR MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 SUBARU FORESTER. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO USE THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS, THEY FAILED TO OPERATE. IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED; HOWEVER, THERE WERE NO PARTS TO REMEDY THE DEFECT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 27,183.

DURING AN OIL CHANGE THIS WEEK. I WAS TOLD THAT I WAS DOWN 1.5 QUARTS. I CALLED THE DEALER AND REQUESTED AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. THEY DENIED MY APPOINTMENT AND TOLD ME THAT THIS"WAS THE NEW NORMAL". I DO NOT ACCEPT THAT MY 2014 SUBARU SHOULD BE USING THIS MUCH OIL. I CHECKED THE CLASS ACTION SUBARU OIL CONSUMPTION LAWSUIT, BUT MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE ACTION. I BELIEVE THERE IS STILL A PROBLEM AND THIS NEEDS TO BE FURTHER ADDRESSED.

2014 SUBARU FORESTER. ATTORNEY REPRESENTING CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE SUDDEN ACCELERATION COLLISION. *SMD AS THE CONSUMER APPROACHED A HANDICAP SPACE, HE SLOWED DOWN TO APPROXIMATELY 2-3 MPH AND WHEN HE REMOVED HIS FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR AND APPLIED THE BRAKE TO STOP, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED RAPIDLY AND STRUCK TWO PARKED VEHICLES AND THEN CAME TO A STOP, THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALED. *JB

MY 2014 SUBARU FORESTER BURNS AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF OIL. FOR A NEW ENGINE, I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT CHECKING THE OIL EVERY FEW DAYS TO MAKE SURE IT ISN'T A 1/2 QUART OR MORE LOW. I'M EXTREMELY WORRIED THAT THE OIL IS GOING TO GET TOO LOW BETWEEN CHECKS, AND THE ENGINE WILL SEIZE ON LAKE TAHOE'S ICY WINTER MOUNTAIN ROADS JUST AT THE WRONG TIME.

I WAS OUT OF THE COUNTRY AND DIDN'T START MY CAR FEW ABOUT TEN DAYS. WHEN I COME BACK THE BATTERY WAS DEAD. I HAD IT JUMP STARTED. AS I WAS LEAVING THE LOT AND GOING UP A SLIGHT INCLINE THE CAR STALLED WHILE IN DRIVE - THE BATTERY WAS DEAD AGAIN. I COULD NOT MOVE THE TRANSMISSION FROM DRIVE TO PARK WITH A DEAD BATTERY. FORTUNATELY I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR RESTARTED WITH ANOTHER JUMP. IN THE MEANTIME THE CAR ROLLED BACKWARDS UNTIL I APPLIED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE.. SO THERE WERE TWO ISSUES, YOU CANT MOVE THE TRANSMISSION FROM DRIVE TO PARK IF THE BATTERY IS DEAD AND THE CAR ROLLS BACKWARD IN DRIVE (WHICH I HAVE EXPERIENCED ON OTHER OCCASIONS). *TR

I WAS ON AN ON RAMP ONTO THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE COMPUTER IN THE CENTER OF THE DASH STARTED ALERTING THAT SEVERAL SYSTEMS NEEDED CHECK. ALL THE DASHBOARD INDICATORS WENT OFF AND THE VEHICLE LOST POWER EVEN WHEN I PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL. AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF AND THEN BACK ON AGAIN IT WAS IDLING HARD AND IT SEVERAL WARNING LIGHTS REMAINED ON. THE CAR WAS TOWED UNDER WARRANTY TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP. UPON INVESTIGATION THE DEALER SAID THERE WAS A BAD COIL. AFTER REPLACING THE COIL THE VEHICLE STILL DIDN'T WORK. NOW THEY CLAIMED THERE WAS A BAD FUEL INJECTOR. AFTER REPLACING THAT THE CAR CONTINUED NOT TO WORK. THE PROBLEM THEY KEPT SEEING WAS A MISFIRE IN CYLINDER 4. THEY CHANGED O-RINGS, THEY CLEANED THE ENGINE, THEY EVEN ORDERED A NEW ENGINE AND REPLACED THE ENGINE AND IT STILL SUFFERS FROM THE MISFIRE. THE CAR HAS NOW BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR 34 DAYS AND THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS WRONG OR HOW TO FIX IT.
