Forester

  • 56,000 miles
When turning the turn signals on, the headlights go off. This happens frequently, suddenly plunging you into darkness. The headlight covers are made of inferior plastic that clouds over with age, making it impossible to see at night. I had to have them replaced because it looked as if the headlights were not on when they were.
