What 105 owners told NHTSA about the 2012 Subaru Forester Wilderness

TAKATA RECALL RECOGNITION

NHTSA ODI 11020007

SINCE MARCH, 2017 MY FORESTER BEGAN MAKING A GRINDING NOISE WHEN I FIRST STARTED THE CAR AND PRESSED THE CLUTCH IN TO REVERSE OUT OF THE GARAGE. MY MECHANIC SAID IT WAS TOO EARLY FOR THE CLUTCH TO FAIL AT ONLY 74,000 MILES AND LUBRICATED IT-- TWICE OVER THE INSURING MONTHS AS THE NOISE NOT ONLY PERSISTED BUT GOT LOUDER AND MORE PERSISTENT. IN AUGUST, I TOOK THE CAR TO ANOTHER INDEPENDENT SHOP OUT OF TOWN AND THEY CONFIRMED MY SUSPICIONS THAT THE THROW OUT BEARING WAS FAILING. TO REPAIR IT INVOLVED A NEW CLUTCH KIT AND A DAY OF LABOR FOR A $1300 BILL. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING THE CAR FIVE DAYS NOW SINCE IT WAS FIXED AND THE CLUTCH SEEMS TO BE WORKING FINE AGAIN. I AM FILING THIS REPORT SO OTHERS WILL BE AWARE OF A MANUAL TRANSMISSION FAILURE WAY TOO EARLY IN MILEAGE AND NOT ASSUME IT'S A SQUEAK THAT LUBRICANT CAN FIX. FOR TEN YEARS, I HAD A 2002 MANUAL FORESTER THAT I DROVE FOR OVER 200,000 MILES AND NEVER HAD A CLUTCH PROBLEM. A CLUTCH REBUILD AT 75,649 MILES IS RIDICULOUS AND SUBARU SHOULD WARN OWNERS OF THE PROBLEM.

"TAKATA RECALL" RECEIVED LETTER FROM SUBARA OF AMERICA, INC. 3/24/17 IN REFERENCE TO RECALL. INSTRUCTED TO TAKE VEHICLE TO LOCAL DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. TOOK VEHICLE NEXT DAY TO DEALERSHIP, WHICH STATED THEY HAD REPAIR PARTS AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR REPAIRS WITHIN A WEEK. THE DAY BEFORE SCHEDULED APPOINTMENT, SERVICE DEPT. PHONED ME AND SAID THAT THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE REPAIR PARTS. I HAVE MADE ATTEMPTS TO CONTACT THE SERVICE DEPT WITH PROMISES OF A CALL BACK, WHICH NEVER MATERIALIZE. I BELIEVE THAT SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT PURCHASED AT THIS DEALERSHIP, I AM BEING OVERLOOKED. THIS RECALL EFFECTS MY WIFE WHO HAS WALKING PROBLEMS AND MUST RIDE IN THE FRONT PASSENGERS SEAT. DEALERSHIP OFFERS A LOANER CAR FOR THESE RECALLS, BUT NEVER RETURNS MY CALLS TO MY CELL PHONE.

TAKATA RECALL: I AM WRITING TO MAKE A FORMAL COMPLAINT AGAINST SUBARU OF AMERICA, INC. AND THEIR DEALERSHIPS, REGARDING THEIR FAILURE TO FULFILL THEIR RESPONSIBILITIES AS PART OF THE TAKATA RECALL (NHTSA CAMPAIGN: 17V-014000). MY LOCAL SUBARU DEALERSHIP, DOWNTOWN SUBARU OF OAKLAND, CALIFORNIA, HAS REFUSED TO PROVIDE EITHER SERVICE OR A LOANER VEHICLE, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE NHTSA'S MANDATED RESPONSIBILITIES OF MANUFACTURERS AND THEIR DEALERSHIPS FOR THIS RECALL. I AM UNABLE TO OPERATE MY CAR WITHOUT A PERSON IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT, WHERE THE DEFECTIVE AIRBAG IS INSTALLED, BECAUSE MY WIFE AND I SHARE ONE CAR AND HAVE TWO INFANT CAR SEATS INSTALLED IN THE REAR OF THE CAR.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 SUBARU FORESTER. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V014000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PART FOR THE RECALL REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

TAKATA RECALL--JUST RECEIVED A NOTICE TODAY IN THE MAIL, MARCH 20, 2017, FROM SUBARU THAT MY FORESTER HAS A DEFECTIVE "PASSENGER SIDE FRONTAL AIRBAG CONTAINING...AMMONIUM NITRATE." I AM ADVISED IN THIS LETTER OF THE DANGER THIS PRESENTS, AND THAT "PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME" AND MIGHT NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL DECEMBER." I AM ADVISED, "UNTIL THIS REPAIR IS PERFORMED, DO NOT ALLOW PASSENGERS TO RIDE IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT." HOW RIDICULOUS IS THAT???? FOR A PERIOD OF POSSIBLY NINE MONTHS, NO ONE CAN SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. SURELY, THE CAR COMPANIES CAN DO BETTER THAN THIS. I'VE BEEN IN TOUCH WITH MY DEALERSHIP. THEY (NO SURPRISE) WILL HAVE TO GET BACK TO ME. THIS IS RIDICULOUS AND UNACCEPTABLE, AND I'M A FAN OF SUBARUS.

NHTSA ODI 10967258

I RECEIVED THE RECALL LETTER FROM SUBARU AMERICA, WHO DESCRIBED TERRIFYING CONSEQUENCES ABOUT THEIR DEFECTIVE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. HOWEVER, WHAT THEY COULD DO AT THE MOMENT IS JUST TO ADVICE NOT LETTING ANYONE RIDE ON THAT SIDE BEFORE REPAIR. THERE WAS NOT EVEN A DEADLINE FOR SUCH A REPAIR. THIS IS SO DISAPPOINTING SINCE THERE IS NO WAY TO FIT MY FAMILY INTO THE BACK SEATS. THE REALITY IS THAT SUBARU IS STILL PRODUCING NEW VEHICLES WITH COMPETENT AIRBAGS EVERYDAY. THE COMPANY REALLY SHOULD CONSIDER THE FEELINGS OF THEIR CURRENT OWNERS AND TREAT THEM BETTER!

BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE FROM BANK OWNED, IT WAS 3 YEARS OLD WHEN BOUGHT, IT HAD 70,000 MILES. IN ONE YEAR OF USAGE/SERVICE TIME, WITH 3 OIL CHANGES/2 WITH EXTREME OIL BURNING. NO SIGNS OF SMOKE, OVERHEAT, BUT WITHIN THE 4TH YEAR OF OWNERSHIP IT BEGAN TO MAKE ENGINE NOISES. A RATTLING WHICH AS IT TURN OUT, AND UNBEKNOWN TO US VEHICLE WAS KNOWN TO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH, AND I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, THEY TOLD US THAT THE VEHICLE COVERAGE WAS AT 100,000 MILES/A CUT OFF FOR COVERAGE ON A CLASS ACTION SUIT. THEY TOOK OUR CAR, STORED IT, BECAUSE IT HAD GONE 120 MILES OVER THE CUT OFF, AND WE'RE STILL WAITING TO SEE IF THEY WILL HONOR THEIR PROMISE OF COVERAGE BEING THAT IT'S NOT AN OLD VEHICLE.

I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN FEBRUARY. I ONLY HAD IT A COUPLE DAYS AND DECIDED I SHOULD CHECK THE OIL. NO OIL ON THE DIPSTICK!! PUT 2 QUARTS IN TO BRING IT LEVEL. I HAVE TO CHECK THE OIL EVERY FEW DAYS TO MAKE SURE IT DOES NOT RUN OUT. I AM HAVING TO PUT IN A QUART EVERY 500 MILES! THIS IS NOT NORMAL OIL CONSUMPTION! THE OIL IS CHANGED EVERY 3,000 MILES. I BOUGHT THIS CAR BECAUSE OF SUBARU'S REPUTATION. NEVER AGAIN! AFTER DOING RESEARCH, I FOUND OUT THERE WAS A LAWSUIT FILED. HOW CAN A DEALER SELL A CAR THAT IS THE OBJECT OF A LAWSUIT? SUBARU SHOULD BE RECALLING THIS VEHICLE. NOW I'M STUCK MAKING PAYMENTS ON A CAR THAT WON'T LAST.

WHICH DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT RUSH HOUR AT 65 MPH... WITH ABSOLUTELY NO WARNING OR WARNING LIGHT MY CAR STALLED. WHEN THIS HAPPENED THE STEERING WENT OUT ALONG WITH THE BRAKES AND ALL POWER. I SAT IN THE FAST LANE OF TRAFFIC UNABLE TO SAFELY EXIT MY CAR FOR ALMOST AND HOUR UNTIL HELP ARRIVED. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP NEIL HUFFMAN IN LOUISVILLE KY WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR NEW 4 YEARS AGO. I WAS TOLD THE MASS AIRFLOW SENSOR HAD FAILED. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THEY HAD NO IDEA WHY THIS HAPPENED AT 65 MPH WITH NO WARNING. I PAID THE 403.00 REPAIR AND CONTACT SUBARU USA DUE TO MY CONCERNS. ALTHOUGH I CALLED SEVERAL TIMES AND WAS ON HOLD EACH TIME FOR UP TO 10 MIN AND ALSO EMAILED.. STILL NOT RESPONSE. THIS SEEMS TO BE A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE IN THE CAR.. AND PLAN TO PURCHASE A NEW CAR SOON.. BUT AM CONCERNED SOMEONE ELSE WILL BE MY CAR AND BE IN DANGER. *TR

MY CAR IS SUBURU FORESTER 2012. I USUALLY CHANGE THE OIL IN THE CAR BETWEEN 7000-10000 MILES. ON JAN 13-2016, AT 71854 MILE, AMSOIL 5 QUART SYNTHETIC OIL WAS PLACED AT OIL CHANGE. ON AUG 8TH AT 80600, I WENT IN FOR OIL CHANGE AND ALSO THE CAR WAS MAKING KNOCKING SOUND. THE SUBURU DEALER TOLD ME ENGINE SEIZED DUE TO LACK OF OIL IN THE ENGINE. THE CAR WAS DEEMED NOT DRIVABLE. THERE WERE NO EVIDENCE OF OIL LEAK UNDER THE CAR OR AROUND THE OIL CONTAINER ON THE ENGINE, WHEN CHECK BY THE GLASSMAN DEALER IN SOUTHFIELD MICHIGAN. SUBURU FORESTER DOES NOT HAVE ANY ENGINE OIL LEVEL LIGHT. THE ENGINE CONSUMES THE OIL AND, THE OWNERS SHOULD BE WARNED ABOUT THIS. I LOST 6000.00 MONEY ON THE TRADE IN DUE TO THE ENGINE CONDITION.

AFTER HITTING A CURB PULLING INTO A PARKING LOT, THE CAR IMMEDIATELY ACCELERATED AT A LIGHTENING SPEED AND RACED AT INCREASING SPEED FORWARD KNOCKING OVER A BUSH AND CRASHING INTO A BRICK WALL OF A CHURCH BUILDING. THE SEVERE IMPACT CAUSED THE AIRBAGS TO OPEN AND THE FRONT OF THE CAR WAS SO DAMAGED THAT IT IS CONSIDERED A TOTAL LOSS. THIS ALL OCCURRED IN A MATTER OF SECONDS MYSELF, THE DRIVER, AND A PASSENGER WERE SENT TO EMERGENCY ROOM WITH MULTIPLE ABRASIONS AND CONTUSIONS.

WHILE IDLING IN A PARKING LOT, MY FORESTER CAUGHT FIRE. THE FIRE WAS PUT OUT QUICKLY. SO, THE DAMAGE WAS FORTUNATELY ISOLATED TO THE LOCATION WHERE THE FIRE STARTED. IT SEEMS THAT THE CONNECTOR BETWEEN THE WIRING HARNESS AND ONE OF THE O2 SENSORS ON THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE IGNITED. THE FIRE BURNED THE WIRING HARNESS NEAR THE CONNECTOR AND DAMAGED THE O2 SENSOR. BOTH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE. THIS FIRE HAPPENED SPONTANEOUSLY AND SEEMS TO BE A SAFETY RISK . IN MY OPINION, A 3.5 YEAR OLD VEHICLE SHOULD NOT SPONTANEOUSLY CATCH FIRE.

ON JUNE 9, 2015 I BROUGHT MY 2012 SUBARU FORESTER (MILEAGE 41184) INTO THE SUBARU DEALER FOR A "BRAKE PIPE INSPECTION RECALL" AND TO REPLACE A BROKEN PLASTIC MOLDING IN THE FRONT OF THE CAR. INSPECTION BY THE MECHANIC AT THIS TIME STATED THAT ALL THE BRAKES WERE IN GOOD SHAPE ACCORDING TO THEIR RATING SYSTEM. ONE MONTH LATER, ON JULY 8, 2015, I BROUGHT MY 2012 SUBARU FORESTER (MILEAGE 42513) BACK TO THE SUBARU DEALER BECAUSE OF VIBRATION AND NOISE EMANATING FROM THE FRONT OF THE CAR. INSPECTION BY THE SERVICE MECHANIC SHOWED THAT THE FRONT BRAKES HAD LOCKED UP, WERE NOT RELEASING, AND HAD WORN OUT THE BRAKE PADS AND SCORCHED THE FRONT ROTORS FROM THE HEAT GENERATED BY THIS MALFUNCTION. IT WAS NECESSARY FOR THEM TO REPLACE THE ROTORS AND PADS. IN A PERIOD OF 30 DAYS AND 1329 MILES THE AUTOMOBILE WENT FROM GOOD BRAKES TO WORN-OUT BRAKES WITH SCORCHED ROTORS FROM THE HIGH HEAT GENERATED. SUBARU IS FORTUNATE THAT I WAS AWARE SOMETHING WAS WRONG -- SOMETHING WHICH IF NOT FIXED COULD HAVE CAUSED A FIRE OR BRAKE FAILURE WHILE ON BUSY HIGHWAY AND POTENTIALLY RESULTED IN BODILY INJURY OR DEATH TO THE OCCUPANTS. THIS IS NO WAY "NORMAL" BRAKE WEAR. THE PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE ACKNOWLEDGED AND CORRECTED BY SUBARU BEFORE SOMEONE GETS INJURED.
