2015 Subaru Forester

THIS IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE SURGES SOMETIMES AND MISFIRES WHEN IT COLD STARTS. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE RETAILER, THEY DID NOT FOUND ANY ISSUE. ONLY THE DIFFERENTIAL OIL WAS CHANGED. THEY TOLD ME TO RETURN IF THE PROBLEM OCCURS AGAIN. AGAIN IT CAME BACK AND INTERMITTENT. I AM SURE RETAILER WILL NOT BE ABLE TO FIND THE PROBLEM AGAIN. IT IS SUDDEN LOSS OF POWERS FOR COUPLE SECONDS AND IT A HAZARD ON THE ROAD. HOPE THERE ARE RECALLS ON THIS ISSUE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING IN THE HIGHWAY AT 75 MPH WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON THE CAR SUDDENLY WENT TO 5000 RPM AND AT THE SAME TIME STARTED TO BRAKE ALL THE LIGHTS IN THE DASHBOARD CAME ON I PULLED OVER AND THE CAR'S ENGINE SHUT DOWN. I TRIED TO STARTED ABOUT 5 06 TIMES THE CAR WOULDN'T STAR AND AFTER THAT THE CAR WAS COMPLETELY DEAD. I HAD IT TOW TO A SHOP. THE NEXT MORNING IT STARTED LIKE NOTHING THE MECHANIC AT THE SHOP SAID IT WAS THE BATTERY.AFTER CHANGING THE BATTERY I TOOK IT TO THE GAS STATION AFTER PUTTING GAS IT WOULDN'T START AGAIN AFTER SEVERAL TRIES IT STARTED.AT THIS POINT I DON'T THINK THE BATTERY WAS THE ISSUE BUT I AM GLAD I GOT HOME. THIS HAPPENED IN STARKVILLE MS 200 MILES FROM WHERE I LIVE. *TR

RIGHT REAR COIL SPRING BROKE ON MY 2015 SUBARU FORSTER. WAS NOT AWARE WHEN IT HAPPENED. TOOK CAR TO A GARAGE ON 5/2/2020 TO ROTATE THE TIRES, AND THE MECHANIC IMMEDIATELY DISCOVERED IT. SPRING WAS LOOSE AND COULD BE MOVED FREELY UP AND DOWN BY MECHANIC'S HAND. RIGHT REAR OF CAR WAS SAGGING, ALMOST DOWN ON THE REAR TIRE. SAW MANY MANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON INTERNET ON BOTH REAR SPRINGS FOR 2014 AND 2015 FORESTERS LIKE MY 2015 FORESTER. HEARD THAT SUBARU IN JAPAN ALREADY ISSUED A RECALL FOR THIS SAFETY ISSUE. AND THAT A RECALL IN AMERICA MAY BE FORTHCOMING. MEANWHILE, WE FORESTER OWNERS ARE AT RISK WHILE DRIVING WITH FAULTY SPRINGS. MOST OTHERS SAID IT LOOKED LIKE THE COIL RUSTED FROM THE INSIDE OUT. ALSO THAT THE REPLACEMENT SPRING HAD 8 COILS INSTEAD OF THE OEM 6 COIL SPRINGS, AND SOME KIND OF TAPE OR PLASTIC COATING THE BOTTOM COILS. EVERYONE RECOMMENDED GETTING SPRINGS, AND POSSIBLY THE ENCLOSED STRUTS, ON BOTH SIDES BE REPLACED SINCE STRUTS MAY HAVE SUFFERED DAMAGED WHILE DRIVING WITH FAULTY SPRINGS. PLEASE HELP REMEDY THIS CURRENT SAFETY PROBLEM, AND REQUIRE SUBARU TO ISSUE A FORMAL RECALL IN AMERICA. THANK YOU.
