problem #1

Apr 052006

Forester 2.5L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 133,000 miles

This is a minor problem, except for the piddidle factor. I brought the car to be checked over once on the passenger side headlight failing but coming on occasionally, and thought it was electrical. VIP told me it was just a bulb and charged me 72.00 to look at the light and find out that was the issue- but it has acted funny ever since- dimming and not working at times and working fine other times. I never had this issue resolved but its good to know about it.
