SUBARU FORESTER 2011 car safety problem was reported on Mar 21, 2013.SUBARU FORESTER 2011, manufactured by Subaru of America, Inc. had a problem with ENGINE . on the last two dates this vehicle started up by itself without input from key or remote. the vehicle was unlocked by remote which is the manufacturer remote. the door was opened then the "lock" button in the door was pressed and the door closed. after the door was shut the engine started up. this happened on two separate occasions. on other occasions the engine would still keep running even though the key is removed from the ignition. this vehicle was fitted with a remote starter by the dealer (not factory). the remote start was changed twice, i'm on the third set. the dealer asked me to bring in the vehicle again on friday march 29th so that the remote start installer can look at it again. originally when the engine kept running i would have to disconnect the wire from the battery to stop the engine as everything else failed to stop it. subsequently when the engine kept running it would only be shut off with the remote starter. this problem still keeps happening occasionally. *tr .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 12000 miles.

SUBARU FORESTER 2011 car safety problem was reported on July 12, 2011.SUBARU FORESTER 2011, manufactured by Subaru of America, Inc. had a problem with ENGINE . after owning 3 other subarus, we figured it was a great idea to buy a 4th. well, subaru has changed the engine design enough where as the oil needed is a super light weight synthetic 0w20. after about 2000 miles consistently, the car will always need oil. we have 40,000 on it now and after multiple oil changes the car still uses way too much oil. not a great choice of a car is what i am thinking now. someone needs to step in from the nhtsa and determine why a new car would be losing oil as fast as the subaru does. i have read other similar complaints. maybe it is time to start an online petition to help nudge nhtsa and subaru. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 9000 miles.

SUBARU FORESTER 2011 car safety problem was reported on Sept 29, 2011.SUBARU FORESTER 2011, manufactured by Subaru of America, Inc. had a problem with SERVICE BRAKES . took vehicle in for 30k maintenance. when i picked it up dealer had changed brake fluid (brakes had been functioning perfectly prior). when leaving dealer lot brake pedal went to floor and i went into oncoming traffic. luckily oncoming vehicle dodged me. i pumped pedal and got brakes and went back into dealership. they bled brakes and said it was ready. when backing out of space brake pedal again went to floor but vehicle stopped. i called a service writer over and showed him pedal on floor. i left car and new master cylinder was ordered and installed next day. i went to pick up vehicle and again pedal went to floor and i had another service writer witness it. took pic with cell phone. service manager told me that it was normal for brake pedal to go to floor if engine was not running and was safe to drive. i told him engine was running and brake pedal should never go to floor if engine running or not. if booster bleeds down pedal may go somewhat lower than normal. pedal had never went anywhere near floor before. i refused to drive car as i deemed it dangerous. if pedal was pumped it would come to normal position. he finally agreed to contact subaru representative to look at it next week. if i had not had mechanical background and had listened to him and drove a car where the brake pedal would intermittently go to floor what could have been the results? at no time even after i mentioned it was the abs system checked for air to my knowledge. normal bleeding at wheels will not remove air from master cylinder or abs system. note: by "pedal going to floor" the pedal arm hits floor/carpet and pedal can go no lower. i am waiting for the subaru representative to inspect car at this point. i emailed subaru, but they did not seemed too concerned. *js .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 30295 miles.

SUBARU FORESTER 2011 car safety problem was reported on Jan 05, 2013.SUBARU FORESTER 2011, manufactured by Subaru of America, Inc. had a problem with SERVICE BRAKES . anti-lock brakes have malfunctioned for me numerous times and i will now only drive my subaru (despite all wheel drive, which works well) when road conditions are good. accident occurred when driving mid-day on plowed but snowy road; downhill; i was not turning, but wanted to go more slowly and tapped brakes. anti lock brakes kicked in and car began to skid; skidded off road and into a mailbox; needed to be towed out. after being pulled out, and continuing down hill, at 10 mph, car began to skid again. friend following me said it appeared front brakes were working and back brakes were not. had two mechanics look at the brakes (one i trust and the dealer) and both told me they are fine. dealer said the computer record didn't record a problem but i think software that manages the abs is malfunctioning. i looked online and saw numerous blog discussions about disconnecting abs on subarus in winter so i think others must be having similar problems. this is very dangerous - fortunately, i was not going very fast and there were no other cars/pedestrians so no one was hurt. i have driven a subaru for 13 years in all kinds of conditions so i don't think it is me not being able to handle abs. abs problem occurs in conditions when i think awd is helpful but i need to slow down -- have no problem with awd when i am going uphill or not braking. *tr.Vehicle was involved in a crash. 0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 29000 miles.

SUBARU FORESTER 2011 car safety problem was reported on June 07, 2013.SUBARU FORESTER 2011, manufactured by Subaru of America, Inc. had a problem with SERVICE BRAKES . when the check engine light (cel) is activated by an emission control failure subaru has programmed a shutdown of the antilock brake system (as well as shutdown of cruise control). this abs shutdown could occur for a simple loose gas cap which is common cause of cel failure. the section 3-16 on cel warning light/malfunction indicator does not inform the owner that a cel event will be accompanied by the disabling of the abs. the driver finds this out only because the cel is accompanied by blinking cruise light and steadily illuminated abs light. per owner manual section 7-23 for 2011 forester when the abs is disabled the car/driver/passengers are a risk of loss of steering control and directional stability. three cel events occurred from june 2013 to december 2014 for same problem because thermostat was not to be replaced per service bulletin 09-56-13/10/21/13 until ecm re-programming occurred. therefore i was forced to drive without antilock brake system 3 times 6/13; 8/14 and 12/14 until repairs could be scheduled. i am requesting that subaru not be allowed to disable the abs for cel/emission control system problems. this is because i have had multiple unpredictable cel events some during weather conditions for which abs function was critical..0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 22736 miles.

SUBARU FORESTER 2011 car safety problem was reported on Jan 12, 2015.SUBARU FORESTER 2011, manufactured by Subaru of America, Inc. had a problem with ENGINE . i purchased my 2011 subaru forester used from a dealership in ny. i started noticing that it was burning through oil. i took it to a subaru dealership and found out that it needs a new engine and that other people are having this problem as well. subaru doesn't want to take responsibility for this issue though so i have to make a claim on my warranty and of course they have found a loop hole to not cover the repair (piston rings are damaged due to faulty cylinder walls and, conveniently, the cylinder walls are not considered an internal part so the warranty won't cover). now i'm left with either replacing my engine or taking a large hit on my trade-in value. had i known that i would've been replacing the engine less than 2 years after buying the car i would've negotiated a much lower price for the car or went with a different make/model. i cannot afford to replace an engine or buy a new car, i have no other choice than to continue to pour oil into this car and hope that i don't break down on the expressway or back roads during my 60 mile commute to and from work or when i have my child in the car..0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 103000 miles.

Subaru Forester 2011 Reports


I test drove a 2011 Subaru Outback yesterday at night in a very dark area with the headlights on. I could only see out of the bottom third of the windshield. The top two thirds of the windshield looked as if a black curtain had dropped down over i

I notice if I quickly accelerate/go into overdrive - front of car will hum. Do I need to have something checked out?
Thank you!

2004 forester xt, strong gas smell in the cold weather when the heat is on. They won't fix it because they "can't find it" at my dealership. Do I need a new fuel line or is there an easier fix?

Thank you for these, can find a decent review now.

My 1998 subaru forester stutters/hiccups/bucks (whatever you call it) when going uphill, and when accelerating on a straight path, can it be the transmission?

I HAVE A SUBARU FORESTER 2000 TAIL LIGHT/PLATE LIGHT/'FRONT SIGNAL LIGHT STAYS ON.ONCE FUSE IS REMOVED LIGHT GOES OUT.WHAT COULD THE PROBLEM BE?

I own a 2008 Subaru impreza, till last week i was fine, but now it is having some problem i.e it is making whining sound from  steering pump, will i have to replace the steering pump and hoe much will it cost.

Standard on all Impreza models are anti lock disc brakes, stability control, front seat side airbags, side curtain airbags and active front head restraints to help mitigate crash-induced whiplash

2006 Subaru outback died. Will not tke a boost. With battery cable connected there is an error code in the odometer. Does anybody know what this can be?

2007 Forester bangs into gear-been doing this mainly in cold weather but now all the time. Dealer always says not problem-it has to "warm up" and doesnt want ot deal with it.

My 2002 Impreza Outback Sport's check engine light comes on when I'm going downhill, not all the time.  Also (not all the time), if I don't downshift when coming to a stop, the car dies, not stalls, dies.  It starts right back up.  The engine l
