problem #1

Forester XS 2.5L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 65,678 miles

neutral safety switch high voltage

Never bothered to repair due to how much needs to be taken apart to get too it, causes a no start condition (starter will not turn) until shoved hard into park or rock the vehicle to activate the switch. took me a month to figure out when i shut it off if i hear no click it did not engage and have to push the shifter knob up hard with it in park already for that click noise to happen so i can hop in and go. happened very often and without warning, it shifted through the gears partially when it did not engage properly. also caused me a lot of vibrations and rough shifting trying to get it in just the right spot. adjusting the cable did nothing to remedy the issue either.
