SUBARU FORESTER 2007 car safety problem was reported on Dec 01, 2006.SUBARU FORESTER 2007, manufactured by SUBARU OF AMERICA, INC. had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL . 2007 subaru forrester with manual transmission. the engine surges when driving down hill (not under load) and you are giving just enough throttle to keep up speed. it causes the car to have a jerking back and forth motion. since people purchase the cars to drive in snow i believe this is a dangerous condition. i took it to the dealer and subaru states that it is a characteristic of the vehicle. i believe that the drive by wire throttle is to blame. *jb.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):JF1SG63657G.

Subaru Forester 2007 Exterior Lighting Review #10194748

SUBARU FORESTER 2007 car safety problem was reported on Mar 15, 2007.SUBARU FORESTER 2007, manufactured by SUBARU OF AMERICA, INC. had a problem with EXTERIOR LIGHTING . i purchased a used 2003 subaru forester in 2006. in march of 2007 a small parking light went out. i went out and purchased a new bulb for about $1.25 and tried to replace it. i quickly found out that you would have to be a very skilled mechanic to change any bulb on this vehicle. in order to change any bulb you first have to remove the entire front grill which is almost impossible for the average person without damaging the parts that hold it into place. then you have to remove the entire light ficture to change any bulb then you would have to have the headlights realigned. subaru charges 1 hour labor to change 1 bulb @ $50.00 what if your in an area where you don't have a subaru dealer. most mechanics won't attempt to change a light bulb on this vehicle. so i would have to drive around with my headlight out untill i found a dealer. subaru should change the lights at no charge to the customer since it's certainly a design flaw. i have gone on subaru owner chat rooms and it's a major problem for all forester owners. everyone agrees that it takes a number of damaging tries before changing 1 bulb. it seems that subaru knows that because they carry a ready supply of the parts you'll need to replace when you break them if you can get the grill off in the first place. thank you for you time .. .Mileage was 56500 miles.

Subaru Forester 2007 Tires Review #10213023

SUBARU FORESTER 2007 car safety problem was reported on Dec 02, 2007.SUBARU FORESTER 2007, manufactured by SUBARU OF AMERICA, INC. had a problem with TIRES . the manufacturer provided tires that wear at an excessively rapid pace, resulting in a car accident due to losing traction while driving over sand/grit used for treating the road during snow. additionally, the flatirons imports, an authorized subaru dealership, never advised us on the degree of tread loss. on sunday december 2 at noon, my husband was coming down left hand canyon traveling at 35mph when he lost traction while driving into a right-turn bend. the car left the road and landed nose-first about 30 ft into an irrigation ditch. the boulder county sheriff department came to the scene of the accident and determined that he was not at fault (regrettably neither they nor the state police have filed a report). the road surface was free from snow and/or ice but there was a significant amount of sand/grit upon which the car lost traction. in spite of the road conditions, the vehicle would have regained traction had not the condition of the tires been defective, the principle cause of the accident, we believe. the vehicle was taken to flatirons subaru on august 21 at 9,142 miles. the mechanical report indicated that the tread on the tires was at 8/32; on october 19 at 13, 182 miles the car was taken in for a regular service as well as to check a radiator leak, and the mechanical report indicated the tire tread at 5.2/32, 5.9/32 (3/32 tread loss in 2 months). at the time of the accident, we were notified that the tread was at 1.2/32 at 15,763 miles (representing a 4/32 tread loss in 6 weeks and approx 2,500 miles!). we feel this represents a defective product. *tr.Vehicle was involved in a crash. 0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 15763 miles.

SUBARU FORESTER 2007 car safety problem was reported on May 28, 2010.SUBARU FORESTER 2007, manufactured by SUBARU OF AMERICA, INC. had a problem with POWER TRAIN . the vehicle hesitates and "bucks" at low speeds, turning corners, accelerating/decelerating, changing lanes, going up a grade or hill and does not shift smoothly. shifting gears seems to take longer than expected and the tach registers high and then erratically jumps down (or up) to a much lower level on the tach, causing the vehicle to shift erratically or to seemingly get stuck in a gear. also, the vehicle may try to shift while not accelerating, sometimes when traveling at a higher speed. the dealer where i purchased the vehicle and where i have had it exclusively serviced cannot seem to diagnose a problem. they have changed wires and replaced an air fuel sensor, only to say they cannot find a problem that might be related to the automatic transmission. i notified the dealer of this situation before my 3 year warranty expired, but even back then, they said they could find no problem. i have driven the vehicle continuously since the date i initially notified the dealer and have repeatedly informed them of this issue, but the condition has continued to get more severe over time. i truly feel unsafe in the vehicle and that at any point in time, while on a highway or regular road, that the vehicle could fail and this condition could cause an accident and/or result in a crash of some kind. i have now driven three subaru loaners from the dealer and i find that each vehicle exhibits signs of the same situation i have experienced with my vehicle. i wonder if subaru may not be telling its customers of this potential defect at the time of purchase or if subaru just does not have the knowledge and/or skill in its manufacturing procedures (especially related to the transmission) to properly assemble its vehicles for the safety of all drivers. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 40000 miles.
