Forester 2.5 Limited 2.5L

  • CVT transmission
  • 5,592 miles

I go up to my car, and try to open the rear hatch, but it won't happen. I don't know what exactly the problem is, but it is for sure not normal.

problem #1

Feb 012016

Forester Touring 2.5i 4 cyl

  • CVT transmission
  • 60,000 miles

Power tailgate will always open automatically. In the Winter and in the early morning Spring or Fall it will also close automatically. Once the outside temp reaches about 60-65 F, the tailgate will not close automatically. The local Honda dealership cannot figure it out. Supposedly, they changed the actuator motor but that didn't help. This car has been an expensive mechanical disappointment ... no more Hondas for me.

Update from May 23, 2017: This complaint was not for my 2017 Subaru Forester, it was for my 2012 Honda Odyssey. I am perfectly satisfied with the Subaru so far. On the other hand, I will never buy another Honda.
