Forester 4-cyl

Sunroof was not closing properly. It was later determined that the electrical sunroof motor was going bad and needed to be replaced due to a bent sunroof frame. The sunroof motor was covered under my Subaru extended warranty, however the bent sunroof frame was not. Since the sunroof was hardly used in the past 5 years, I maintained that it was either a manufacturing defect or an assembly error. Subaru refused to pay for the frame replacement. Therefore, by replacing just the motor I still have the problem of the bent sunroof frame which in time will make the sunroof motor go bad. I encourage others with similar sunroof problems to file complaints. With enough complaints, Subaru may decide to cover these repairs under their classic extended service warranty.
