problem #3

Forester Eddie Bauer 4 cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 56,000 miles

For a six year old car, it seemed rather soon to have this happen. Because it was covered by extended warranty, I was okay with it. See following complaints.

Forester Eddie Bauer 4 cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 82,000 miles

First the driver's window motor went, then the front passenger window motor went, and now the driver's window motor has gone again! What is it? Cheap parts? Not sealed correctly? I live in a high rainfall area, but these cars are supposedly made for the "rugged outdoors"!

Jul 082014

Forester Eddie Bauer 4 cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 68,000 miles

First the driver's window motor went, now this! The cost to repair is not cheap, but I can't afford to do this every couple of years. It wasn't in the owner's manual.
