problem #2

Feb 032023

Forester Premium 2.5L

  • Manual transmission
  • 37,500 miles

While driving the Forester, there was a significant vibration when the vehicle was above 60 MPH; the vibration felt like a flat tire, and I had to let go of the gas pedal to eliminate the vibration. It so happens that I was going to do the 30,000 Maintenance that week. The local dealership diagnosed and fixed the issue out of their pocket due to this known issue.
