problem #1

May 082013

Forester OPT21 2.5L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 5,000 miles

A very annoying albeit intermittent squeak emanates from central dashboard area, usually at highway speed but very inconsistently. At first I thought this was a vent fan or CD player issue, I shut off all accessories including vent fan, AC and CD player- but the squeak persisted with no change.

Dealer technicians have not been able to reproduce squeak in shop. This squeak seems to present every few days for 5 to 25 minutes, then goes silent again for long periods of time.

Very frustrating! Is anyone aware of this issue and is there a fix?
