problem #3

Nov 242017

Forester

  • 30,000 miles
I've had this car for 1.5 years and it's already stalled twice times. Both times I was driving on the highway and without any warning my car just started to rapidly decrease speed. Both times, I my gas meter said that I had over 50 miles of gas left in my car. Its absolutely terrifying because when the car shuts off, I have about two minute to get to the shoulder before it's completely dead.

problem #1

Nov 092016

Forester

  • 17,279 miles
At low speed (under 15 mph) a hesitation occurs causing the vehicle to loose acceleration power for as long as 3 or 4 seconds. It is an intermittent problem occurring only 8 times in three months. Problem almost caused a collision while turning left before oncoming traffic. Later recurrences produced the same problem during right turns also. We returned the car to the dealer and purchased a 2017 of the same model hoping this problem will be solved.
