SUBARU FORESTER 2010 car safety problem was reported on Sept 30, 2009.SUBARU FORESTER 2010, manufactured by SUBARU OF AMERICA, INC. had a problem with VISIBILITY . i bought a 2010 subaru forester in sept. of 2009. after purchase i noticed that the left outside rearview mirror had a distortion in the glass which made it difficult in passing and backing up. the best way i can describe it is like looking into a "fun house mirror" at an amusement park. i took my forester back to the dealer and the service manager said that he noticed the defect also and he had me come in to have the mirror replaced. after the replacement the defect is still there, and the service manager told me that this is a problem that subaru is having with their mirrors and there is no fix for it at this time. i contacted subaru customer service web site and after some conversations back and forth i've been told it's my problem now that there is no fix for the problem, and that there is no problem with the mirror. if there is no problem then why did they replace it to try to fix the problem? in my opinion it is a serious defect because it is very difficult and unsafe when trying to pass another vehicle on the highway or when trying to backup using a mirror that you can't see a good view to the rear. after a few emails back and forth about this problem with subaru customer service and requesting them to look at this forum since they said there is no problem, they became rude and now, me and alot of other subaru owners are stuck with a defective and unsafe mirror. i will give you a web site forum with other subaru owners with the same complaint.: www.subaruforester.org/vbulletin/f88/2010-light-assembly-condensationn-mirror-67147/ thank you for your time. *tr.Mileage was 20 miles.

SUBARU FORESTER 2010 car safety problem was reported on Sept 28, 2010.SUBARU FORESTER 2010, manufactured by SUBARU OF AMERICA, INC. had a problem with SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC . while driving a 2010 subaru forester around a corner up a steep driveway i encountered a vehicle coming down the driveway. the forester is manual and there was a shoulder in the driveway behind the corner i had rounded; i applied the clutch and brake when i saw the vehicle and released the brake while continuing to hold the clutch when i saw that i could roll back onto the shoulder directly behind me to get out of the way of the oncoming vehicle. the subaru did not move and i began to panic as the oncoming vehicle approached and my service brake had apparently ceased (the car would not move by gravity yet the service and hand brakes were both off). i put the car in reverse and revved the engine unusually hard while aggressively releasing the clutch to overcome the apparently frozen brake and avoid the head on collision, at which point the brake released and the car flew backwards toward a stone embankment behind the turn-off in the driveway. i stopped in time and avoided the vehicle exiting the driveway. i contacted the dealer and was told that this is some sort of safety feature on subarus whereby the service brake will not release when the clutch is depressed on a hill. the forester i was driving gives no indication to the operator that the service brake will behave in an unexpected way and there is apparently no way to disable this behavior in this model. as a seasoned driver with hundreds of thousands of miles of experience in many makes and models with manual transmissions i find this highly unsafe and totally unacceptable. *tr.Mileage was 200 miles.

SUBARU FORESTER 2010 car safety problem was reported on Feb 08, 2011.SUBARU FORESTER 2010, manufactured by SUBARU OF AMERICA, INC. had a problem with VISIBILITY . i am writing to file a complaint regarding my 2010 subaru forester which was purchased in april, 2010. i have driven the vehicle myself for only 5,371 miles and only in the city. about a week ago, i noted a small, smooth-surfaced crack about 2 inches long that originated at the top edge of the front windshield. the appearance of the crack was not associated with any impact. in less than 48 hours, the small crack elongated to more than 8 inches. i brough the vehicle to the local subaru service department on february 8 for inspection. the service department representative informed me that the crack was not a "stress fracture" but due to an impact. he stated that the crack was not covered by either my subaru warranty nor my extended service warranty because it was not a "stress fracture". however, in my judgement, this crack originated as a smooth-surfaced crack akin to a description of a "stress fracture". i also note that a number of complaints have previously been reported by consumers about the high incidence of windshield stress cracks in subaru vehicles, including the forester. replacement of my windshield on my relatively new vehicle will cost about $820 for parts and installation. i bought a subaru for the first time with the expectation that i would receive a quality product with excellent durability. this experience leads me to believe otherwise. *tr .Mileage was 5300 miles.

SUBARU FORESTER 2010 car safety problem was reported on Oct 08, 2011.SUBARU FORESTER 2010, manufactured by SUBARU OF AMERICA, INC. had a problem with SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC . during a routine state inspection it was discovered that the rear disc brake rotors and pads were no longer acceptable and had to be replaced. the brakes were still functional at this point but only barely. there was no wear indicator sound that ever emanated from the brakes. there was no warning light on the dash board indicating a brake problem. there was longer braking detected but only that associated with normal wear of a vehicle. there were no signs of any issue with the brakes. a routine recent inspection of the front brakes by the owner to assess the vehicle prior to inspection revealed no issues with normal wear of the front pads and rotors. the rear disc brakes were not examined at the time as the assumption was that brake wear would be nominally the same as the front. the yearly state inspection revealed the excessive wear of the rear brakes relative to the front brakes. this indicates a vehicle flaw, possible design or component, as the vehicle only had 25,000 miles on it and the front disk pads and rotors indicate only normal wear. the rotors were worn too thin to be used. there was excessive rust on the brake components. the pads were past acceptable wear. the rear brakes/pads/rotors were either defective, improperly working, or improperly designed. there could have been a serious brake failure resulting in an accident as a result of the excessive wear of the rear disc brakes. this should be red flagged as a serious issue of concern. *tr.Mileage was 25000 miles.

Subaru Forester 2010 Seat Belts Review #10479683

SUBARU FORESTER 2010 car safety problem was reported on Oct 10, 2012.SUBARU FORESTER 2010, manufactured by SUBARU OF AMERICA, INC. had a problem with SEAT BELTS . i took my 2010 subaru forester this morning to farrish subaru of fairfax, virginia to have the center seat belt replaced per the above recall. farrish subaru replaced the defective center seatbelt. when i returned home, i inserted all male handles into the female buckles. since i had never ridden in the rear seat, i did not realize that all rear seat belts had been installed in an unsafe manner. in this situation the two center female buckles were toward the outside rear doors, while the right and left female seat buckles were on the inside center position. i returned to farrish subaru where service consultant jack lindeman found that my rear seat belts were in an improper order. he called it a "birth defect", meaning that the installation had been done improperly at the factory. lindeman agreed with my assessment that when all three seat belts were buckled, the straps crossed over the red release buttons. this made it impossible to reach the buttons to release the belts from the buckles. i asked lindeman to correct the problem. farrish subaru placed the buckles in the correct order with both female center buckles in the center and the right and left female buckles toward their respective outward positions. however, when i tried to insert the male center handle into its respective female buckle, the female center buckle fell below the seat cushion. neither i nor lindeman was able to raise the female buckle above the cushion to its proper height except with great difficulty. this is a dangerous situation because the male handle cannot be inserted into the female buckle while that buckle is below the seat cushion. when i asked service consultant lindeman to fix the sinking seatbelt problem, he said he was unwilling to do anything further. this is a very dangerous situation. for the moment i have taped the female buckles together to prevent them from falling below the seat cushions. if there is a permanent solution, i would appreciate learning about it. *tr.Subaru Forester 2010 problem was reported in VA, VA.

SUBARU FORESTER 2010 car safety problem was reported on Feb 25, 2013.SUBARU FORESTER 2010, manufactured by Subaru of America, Inc. had a problem with SERVICE BRAKES . we were driving on a level interstate highway. a noise began. it was like we were on coarse pavement. i pulled over thinking there was a flat tire. instead the front right brake was overheated and seizing. we completed our trip at greatly reduced speed because this occurred at night when we were unable to get service, and finding a motel which would allow our 100 lb german shepherd seemed unlikely. we did not drive the car again until we could get a service appointment with the dealer. the brakes were serviced on 3/1/13 by the dealer, who had just replaced rear pads and turned rotors 2 weeks earlier. the dealer said our problem was due to rust attributable to use of road salt, and that this work would not be covered by our warranty and that we should have had the brakes serviced every year to remove rust. we had never been told this before, even when the same dealer serviced the rear brakes on 2/14/13. the next day, after a 10 mile drive, alerted by the "hot brake smell", i checked temperatures. right front still overheating. now after being serviced, the right front brake rotor runs hot still. i took the car back, and at the dealership, a laser-aimed infrared thermometer shows right front rotor is 147 degrees, left front 128, right rear 82, left rear 97 after 15 to 20 miles of highway driving (ambient temperature 20 degrees). dealer again checked, says all wheels spin freely, and does not know why the right front runs hot. another brake seizure seems inevitable. brakes should not have these problems on a car which has less than 19,000 miles and less than 3 years of use. the car does not pull to the right. maybe the left rear is compensating. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 18960 miles.

SUBARU FORESTER 2010 car safety problem was reported on Mar 25, 2014.SUBARU FORESTER 2010, manufactured by Subaru of America, Inc. had a problem with VISIBILITY/WIPER . as i was driving, the driver's sun visor dropped into my forehead creating a shocking reaction. i attempted to place it back up, but it kept falling down. i then left it in a down position that you would place it if sun was in your eyes. i went over to the local dealer and they said it has been happening to quite a few of the forester cars. i asked if it was a recall and he said he checked and it wasn't. because the car was over 3 years old, it was out of warranty and it would be a charge of around $125.00 or so to be repaired. i explained that the car has not been abused and if i probably had not used the visor more than a dozen times. he indicated maybe the original dealer would honor fixing it because of such low mileage. i did go back to the original dealer and unfortunately they would not honor it and would be happy to repair it for around the same price. he also told me to buy velcro and it should hold it up. i invested in many strengths of velcro to find out that it would not adhere to the ceiling material of the car and repeatedly flops down in the same fashion as it did initially. my complaint is that this should be a recall as clearly it is a safety issue. i cannot drive the car safely in a down position as it interferes with visibility. i am so disappointed with subaru's reaction to my problem. thank you for your help. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 31670 miles.
