problem #4

Forester 4WD

  • miles
The oxygen sensor switch is not operating. The dealer is willing to replace it, however, he cannot get the part as it is not available. This dealer and others said they have several new cars waiting for this part. This may be a national problem, suggest you check into a recall. My gas mileage is now very poor and the engine is starting to run rough.

- Warwick, RI, USA
